* TRIRANGA* - A Divine Journey: Exploring the Adi, Madya, and Anthya Ranga Temples !!!

This blog recounts a memorable pilgrimage to three sacred temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu: Adi Ranga (Srirangapatna), Madya Ranga (Shivanasamudra), and Anthya Ranga (Srirangam).  


Early Morning Start and Adi Ranga at Srirangapatna: 

Our journey began at 3 AM with a group of 35 devotees, embarking on a Volvo AC bus from Rajaji Nagar, Bangalore.

Filled with anticipation and devotion, we set off to seek the blessings of Lord Ranganathar. We reached Adi Ranga, situated in Srirangapatna, Karnataka, at dawn.
The temple, known for its Dravidian architecture, houses a magnificent idol of Lord Vishnu reclining on the serpent Anantha. After a blissful and spiritually uplifting darshan, we continued our journey.

Madya Ranga at Shivanasamudra: A Scenic Drive and Divine Encounter

The next stop was Madya Ranga in Shivanasamudra.

The journey through the scenic hill regions, though challenging with hairpin bends, added to the adventure. We were rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Kaveri River and the majestic hill views.
The temple, dedicated to both Lord Ranganathar and Goddess Ranganayaki, offered a serene atmosphere and a divine experience. 

Anthya Ranga at Srirangam: A Grand Finale

The final destination was Anthya Ranga, the renowned Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple in Srirangam, Tamil Nadu.

This magnificent temple complex is famous for its seven towering gopurams, with the Raja Gopuram being a masterpiece of Dravidian architecture.
The temple was bustling with devotees, creating a vibrant and spiritual atmosphere.
Despite the crowds, we were fortunate to have a wonderful darshan of Lord Ranganathar. 

A Journey of Faith and Friendship:

The journey, though demanding, was an unforgettable experience. It was a testament to the power of faith and the camaraderie among fellow devotees.

We are grateful for the opportunity to visit these sacred sites and seek the blessings of Lord Ranganathar. 

Om Namo Narayanaya! Jai Sri Ram!

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. A Serene Visit to the Temple My walk leads me to the local temple, a place of serene calm amidst the busyne...

!!! A Divine Journey to Ahobilam: The Abode of Nava Narasimhas !!!

Introduction My recent pilgrimage to Ahobilam, the sacred abode of Nava Narasimhas, was an unforgettable experience.  Filled with devotion and a deep sense of spirituality, we embarked on this journey with love and blessings for Lord Narasimha.  Ahobilam Yatra Day 1: A Trek Through Divinity As dawn broke at 6 AM, we set off from our guesthouse. A sense of anticipation filled the air as we eagerly awaited the divine darshan of Ahobila Narasimha and Lakshmi at the Lakshmi Narasimha Temple, one of the 108 revered Divya Desams where Lord Vishnu's divine presence is felt.  According to legend, Godess Maha Lakshmi was angry at Bhagavan Narasimha Swamy as he had married Chenchu Lakshmi. So, Bhagavan Narasimha pleased Godess Mahalakshmi on the hills of Vedadri. Sri Malola Narasimha Swamy is the Aradhya Daiva of Sri Ahobila Matha.  Then, we embarked on a challenging yet rewarding trek to Upper Ahobilam.  Here's a glimpse into the divine encounters:   Malola Na...
