Friday,
Dear Friends,
A lovely and pleasant good morning!The day is bright and beautiful after the showers!It's sunny today.
''The morning star whispers to dawn,tell me that you are only for me''.''Yes'',she answers,''And for that nameless flower too!'':)
To make the day,wonderful,smooth and lovely you may say the following prayer.Amma taught me and I want to share the same with you.
When you wake up in the morning,open your and look at the palm and say the following prayer.
Karagre vasudhe Lakshmi[Goddess Lakshmi resides on the tip of our fingers]
Kara Madhye Saraswathi...[Goddess Saraswathi resides in the middle of our palms]
Kara Mooledu Govinda[Lord Vishnu resides at the bottom of the palm,near the wrist],
After chanting the prayer,we must touch the floor thus,offering prayers to BHOOMI DEVI.[The Goddess of Earth].
I went to Kottappuram Siva Temple.The main prathishta is Lord Siva and right behind the sree kovil is Devi-like Mammiyoor Temple.As it is Siva temple,there is no siveli[taking the idol of God/Goddess out of Sanctum Sanctorum either in hands or on the elephant by the main priest] and elephants.Poojari gave me prasadam -red rose petals,white flowers -offered to SIVA-sandalwood paste,avil and malar on a tender palntain leaf.I felt so nice.We must apply chandanam with the ring finger of the right hand among the eyebrows on the middle spot.After the temple visit my mind is cool and I am at peace with myself.
There is a Champaka tree in front of Lord Ayyappa.The yellow fragrant flowers fall down in front of the kovil of Lord Ayyappa as the natural offering.
.Nagaraja shrine is full of green flowering creepers and climbers.The roof of the shrine of Nagaraja will be always opened.
We have Nagaraja Temple in our tharavadu.The yearly pooja is just over for Nagaraja on Aayilyam star of Kanni Masam.[Malayala Masam].Aayilyam is very auspicious for Nagas.
I feel like going for a long drive enjoying the lush green fields and swaying coconut trees.
My friends wonder why do I talk a lot about Thrissur.I can't write a post without mentioning different temples,aspects,the beautiful people and the life style,the shops,the must-visit places.
Many of my readers may not knowThrissur is the cultural capital of Kerala,God's Own Country!This is the city with strong cultural heritage.The city encircles Shri Vadakkunnathan Temple with a vast area of greenery around.The world famous Thrissur Pooram takes place here culminating with a grand fireworks.Pulikkali is also one of the main attractions on fourth day of Onam.The city has all the facilities mainly educational facilities,Medical and engineering colleges,law college,hospitals and religious places and much more.Kochi International Airport[Nedumbassery] is just one and half drive from here.Thrissur can be easily reached from all parts of the country by rail and road.The world famous Guruvayoor Temple is only forty five minutes away.Peechi Dam,Athirappilly waterfalls,water theme parks,Kerala Kalamandalam are near to this city.''A single word spoken at the time of anger is so much poisonous that it makes us forget hundred lovable conversations within a minute!''
So,think twice before shooting the hurting words.They take away your sleep.
Thrissur rocks!:)Tell me now,when are you coming to Thrissur?
Evenings it rains daily.This is Thulam Masam;my favourite month.
It's Anu signing off........
Listening to my favourite song,
''Njanoru chinthu..........,kavadi chinthu........
Raagam puriyathillai...............''
sung by the famous playback singer,K.S.Chitra,
in the popular Tamil movie,Sindhu Bhairavi,
It's Anu signing off.................
Anya,dear,I miss you a lot.
'Instead of thinking,about what you're missing,
Try to think about what you have,
That everyone else is missing,
Life will be happy''.
And live the life in full.Chaar din ka hain ye zindagi..........:)
May I thank you my friends,for your love,
Special care and concern,
Praying for better tomorrows,May your dreams come true!
Wishing you a beautiful weekend,Reminding Anu loves you dil se,
Sasneham,Anu
