What this little man speaks………………………………………………
I had already passed on an information about my trip to Tirumala and other places between 25th April and today. My dear friends, visiting of a place are one aspect, looking at it in a different angle is yet another aspect. Many of you must have visited quite number of times the Holy place TIRUMALA – at least once by now. Usually when we plan to visit Tirumala we feel like taking darshan of the Lord as quickly as possible and return back. May be, we do not give any IMPORTANCE for other things other than the Holy Lord, or we do not have much time to pay attention to other things either on our way to or our return.
I too would have returned back, but then when we believe that the Lord himself is present at Tirumala, I looked at the other side of the coin and started thinking that there should have been other Lords in and around the Holy place in an unusual manner, since the Lord himself proved himself unusually on this earth. The places normally we visit include Kapila Teertham, Govindarajaswamy temple, Paapa Naasanam, Alivelu Mangapuram etc. But there are many other places which are NAARAYANA VANAM, TONDAVADA, APPPALAYA GUNTA, KAILASA KONA, BUGGA, SRINIVASA MANGAPURAM, KARVETI NAGARAM, CHANDRAGIRI, NAAGALAPURAM, SADASIVA KONA, and AND MANY MORE.
They are surely not places of ordinary nature; to start with I am taking you to the first place THONDAVADA. Thondavada is situated on the banks of Suvarna Mukhi River just 12 kilometers from Tirupathi on Tirupathi-Chittoor high way. Lord Venkateswara, after his marriage said to have spent 6 months in this holy place as per Bhavishyottara Puranam. The great sage AGSTYA MAHAAMUNI perhaps spent much of his life time in these parts only. His life is linked to Lord Venkateswara as per the authoritative information available in many parts of the places mentioned above. The place is a Sangamam of three rivers SUVARNAMUKHI -KALYANI-BHIMA and most unfortunately as is found in many other places, NOT A SINGLE DROP OF WATER IS seen in this river too. Even sand is disappearing and this is yet another story or our bad administration on water management. Lord Venkateswara Vishnu Paadaalu is available in the river. Factually it is the place of Sage Agastya and it is said that Lord Venkateswara after his marriage with Goddess Padmavathy worshipped the Holy Lord AANANDAVALLI SAMETHA AGSTYEESWARA SWAMY at this place. Later Goddess Mahalakshmi appeared here and from here she left for Kolhapur in Maharashtra. Even to day we can see Goddess Lakshmi idol here in a different manner in the temple.
I suggest you to touch the lotus feet of Goddess and I am sure each of you enjoy beyond description. Next time when you visit Tirumala please do not forget to take the blessings of Holy Goddess even when you plan to visit Kanipakkam in Chittoor district. This temple is just a kilometer inside from the highway. We are now proceeding to Chandragiri Fort……………..
