A Divine Journey to Tirupati !!!


Our Adventure Begins!!! 

On a sunny morning, July 27th, we kicked off our exciting trip to Tirupati. After a yummy breakfast, we hopped on a comfy Neugo electric bus in Bangalore. 


The journey was smooth and relaxing, just the way we like it!!! 

Reaching Tirupati and Padmavati Temple

We arrived in Tirupati around 6 PM and met up with our excited cousins. After a quick call to our auto-rickshaw buddy, we zoomed off to the beautiful Padmavati Temple in Tiruchanoor. We left our valuables with the auto driver and stepped into a world of peace and devotion.

After a short wait, we had a wonderful darshan of Goddess Padmavati. The temple's energy was amazing! We grabbed some delicious laddu prasadam and headed back to our hotel to unwind. 

The Quest for Balaji Darshan Begins

That evening, we joined the crowd at Vishnu Nivasam to get tickets for the famous Tirumala Balaji darshan. It was quite a scene with people everywhere! We learned that the ticket distribution would start at 2 AM. So, we settled down for a long night of waiting. 

Around midnight, the excitement level went through the roof! We rushed to join the queue for tokens. After hours of waiting, our patience paid off – we got our Balaji darshan tickets for 5 PM! We were over the moon! 

A Spiritual Morning and Climb to Tirumala

The next morning, we started our day with a peaceful Subrabadha sevai at Padmavati Temple. Feeling refreshed, we set off for Tirumala around 10 AM. Instead of taking the bus, we decided to climb the 2,400 steps of Sri Vari Mettu. 


It was a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience. The views were breathtaking, and the cool breeze made the climb enjoyable. 

The Grand Darshan of Lord Balaji

After climbing the hill, we paid our respects to Adi Varaha Swami before joining the queue for Balaji darshan. Finally, the moment we had been waiting for arrived – the darshan of Lord Venkateswara. It was a truly divine experience that left us speechless. We offered our prayers and soaked in the blessings of the Lord. 


Our journey ended with a satisfying meal and a comfortable ride back home on the Neugo bus. We returned with hearts full of joy, unforgettable memories, and the eternal grace of Lord Balaji!!! SriSrinivasa ShriVenkatesa Govinda Govinda !!! 


Govinda Govinda!!!

Embracing Evening Serenity: A Peaceful Stroll / Walk

A Tranquil Evening Walk As the sun begins to set, I step out for my evening walk, the air cool and inviting. The park is alive with the simple joys of life: children laughing as they play, dogs running freely with boundless energy, and birds singing their evening songs. Walking along the path, I greet familiar faces and exchange friendly waves with neighbors. Each step feels like a gentle unwinding of the day’s stresses, a soothing balm for the soul. Reconnecting with Nature and Friends The park is a vibrant tapestry of life. I meet a few friends along the way, and we share light-hearted conversations and laughter, the kind that refreshes the spirit. We pause to watch the playful antics of the dogs and the unfiltered joy of kids as they chase after each other. These simple, everyday scenes remind me of the beauty in life's small moments, often overlooked but deeply enriching.
