Visiting Tirumala Again To Collect Laddus And Leaving For Delhi

Visiting Tirumala Again To Collect Laddus And Leaving For Delhi 

The chat that I had prior to gaining access to Tirumala Temple with Mr Raj Kumar and Mr Sampath Kumar from Coimbatore (Coimbatore Is In Tamil Nadu State In South India) was one could have Sarva Darshan Token just once in a month as there were records detailing from which centre the devotee had collected the token and in which month. This primarily meant that My Idea of taking Sarva Darshan Token for the second time during this visit was nigh impossible. For that I would have to visit Tirupati in another month and another day to gain access to Tirumala Temple. Mr Raj Kumar and Mr Sampath Kumar had been visiting Tirumala Temple on an auspicious day in every month and such guys get a call which is truly rewarding. Mind you there are two layers of frisking in Tirumala Temple and it roughly takes five to six hours from the the time the ATGH Gates are thrown open to devotees mentioning the reporting time. It can take even more than that considering the rush to the temple given the Divya Darshan and Special Entry Darshan that kicks in at the same time. 

Visiting Tirumala Again To Collect Tirumala Laddus

Having Gained Glimpse of Lord Venkateswara (Lord Govinda) in Tirumala I returned to Tirupati just before 12 AM was to set in. A brief visit to the lodge and later I visited Tirupati Bus Stand with the hope that black tea would be available. But that task was easier said than done. Took popcorn and while having same came across a bus parking itself at a designated place and later leaving for Vijaywada via Nellore, Ongole and Guntur. Mind you these are prime places in Andhra Pradesh State In South India.  On a Tuesday left Tirupati at 6.30 AM. Reach Tirumala at 7.15. Collect a new blue colour bag from a vendor at a marginal rate and here having understood if one were to collect the same set of bag from Delhi the rates would be huge and soaring by all proportions. The responsibility was with me to gather Tirumala Laddus and one had to wait and whisper as there are array of counters designed to this task but few willing to oblige. Finally from TTD (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam)  counter I requested the person manning the desk to get me the Laddus as I had come from Big City Of Delhi and having gained insights over the years of South India and paradigm shift it had witnessed during this period. 

No Faint Idea When Visit To Lord Japali Temple (Lord Hanuman Temple) Would Take Place

A stay for almost 45 minutes and I succeeded in getting the Tirumala Laddus and here I need to reiterate Lord Govinda had been kind enough to get the deed done. The visit to Japali Temple (Lord Hanuman Temple) couldn't happen this time and one has no faint idea when The Prized Visit would happen. Leave Tirumala at 9.55 with prayer on the lips that I do get an opportunity to visit Tirumala as and when Lord Govinda desires. Reach Tirupati at 10.50 and make a dash to Alpha Tours and Travels Office to seek inputs on flights from Tirupati to Delhi. Mr Basha was at the counter and his personnel unraveled the mystery surrounding the airlines operating in India with the flight for the same day getting the requisite uptick in fare circuit and it was better to settle for a flight the second day when the tariff looked to be somewhat less. Wishing to make payment in cash as Phone Pe and UPI are a bit rash. Alpha Tours and Travel personnel have had friendly disposition and this I have experienced in the past as well. From getting the flight tickets to visiting HDFC Bank in T D Circle in Tirupati Lord Govinda's guidance was timely and useful. The woman at the bank hailing from Maharashtra (Maharashtra Is A State in West India) was kind enough to get the transactions done. The entire day was at my disposal and I would have visited Rajni Tea Centre with Mr Rajni and Mr Swamy getting me the desired black tea. The next day I left for Tirupati Airport a little after 9 AM going past IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) and other centres of excellence and the ride itself not bumpy with a disciplined automan at the helm. It was Mr K Apparao the cop at the airport gate and he looked to be as helpful as Mr P N Swamy who had boarded Bengaluru Rajdhani from Secunderabad In Telangana State and deboarded at Dharmavaram In Karnataka State In South India. 

Good Work In Karnataka State; Good Record Of Outgoing Chief Justice Mr Chandrachud, Observations By Chief Justice Mr N V Ramana

Mr Siddaramaiah and Mr D K Shivakumar have been doing good work in Karnataka State. Their faith in the constitution is ever lasting and development in Karnataka State is something to cheer. Equally befitting has been the record of outgoing Chief Justice Mr D Y Chandrachud. Corrective measures on occasions taken by the court have been wonderful. Chief Justice N V Ramana in 2022 was kind enough to observe that Sarva Darshan and the opening of the same by TTD in 2022 was the best thing to happen for pilgrims desiring to visit Tirumala. Sarva Darshan we hail and I would remain ever grateful to Lord Govinda for giving me opportunities to visit Tirumala. 

Durga Pujo Celebrations In Delhi

Durga Pujo Celebrations In Delhi Were Great. Visits To Kali Bari Mandir Marg in Central Delhi and accolades to those running this temple. Listening to Mahalaya Songs Mahalaya (Mahishasura Mardini) Birendra Krishna Bhadra running for One Hour Twenty Nine minutes goad one to think about blessings that come from Goddess Durga and how Goddess Navigates The World. 

Here in India in some sections people get dragged in the court by some elements for the very reason that they want to quantify whether the degree gained by some are authentic or not. Here dissent is not being entertained and those trapped in such enclosures need pearls of wisdom. As for law and order in Delhi the less said the better. One has to be daring enough to step out. Step out to explore a city where pollution is at peak. 

We welcome King Charles Visit to Australia and we hope he has an odyssey that is truly gratifying. 

As for underlying tensions in Middle East two territories Gaza and Lebanon have been meted out step motherly treatment and for how long the humanity would face suffering. Scores and scores of Humans are in crosshairs of a conflict that is unfolding with enough might each day. The moot question is when would US become a Responsible State and stop taking sides. 

We take Mother Dairy Cow's Milk And Mother Dairy Curd. Nandini Milk from Karnataka Is Coming To New Delhi As Well. Cheers For That.
