Hi,
I’m back with my next blog.. This time I’m just gonna narrate my most enjoyed trip to Pondicherry with my cousins.
Our trip started on a fine sat morning, around 8 members of the family packed in a Tavera..
We moved on and on.. the first half of the day was full of spiritual visits..Thanks to our brilliant driver,who could find temples in most deserted locations..that too we had to walk a few mtrs to every temple in that scorching sun..
I should mention this here..This is something I’vnt found anywhere!
In one of the temples,the pujari as soon as we entered asked for all our names and stars before taking aaarthi…then he blabbered some manthras in sanskrit..I seriously could’nt understand a word of it
?He openly then asked us all to give some money…None of us expected this and we were taken aback..even god wont answer your queries without money ???!!
Then we headed on to one chunnambar backwaters..This lovely sprawling lake area has boating to entertain tourists!! After waiting for almost half an hour, finally we managed a motor boat which was much slower than a pedaled one !!
There were bunch of guys… oops.. uncles would be perfect!! I seriously couldnt understand why people nvr adjust while with others!! There were some eight or ten of them who slouched onto their seats as if they owned the boat!! when asked to move they used the most foul language that all of us got angry.. we almost went onto push them off the boat ,when our driver managed to calm down and solved the issue!
Then we reached Mother ashram.. Oh my god lovely place.. no words to describe.. Auroville is another feather to the cap!! The external appearance of the Matri mandir kindles some kind of happiness in you, which I certainly dont’ve words to explain!! definitely worth a visit..The inner silence and sanctity is something which you can never find anywhere else in this world!! I would suggest everyone to visit it..Its beyond religion, caste creed..It just preaches oneness!!
Of course I should mention the beach..Such a CLEAN AND PLEASANT environment…Our people who maintain the Marina.. sry sry spoil Marina should learn from them!!
And we finally reached Chennai in the night..Kudos to our traffic..!! It took nearly an hour to come from thiruvanmiyur to tngr!! Imagine the kind of traffic..Toooo Muccccccccchhhhhhhh!!!!
I suggest all of you to definitely visit auroville at least once in your lifetime..If you would need any details I can give you!!
Do post your comments!!
See you all in next blog!!
