Last wedneday 31 august i went to thiruvanamalai..i havent gone into the temple..i wanted to see lord shiva inside but didnt go for the last three times or so..i went for a long drive in my bike..it was somethin around 160 to 190 km from our home..so i started from home.
The traffic was bit there and i didnt wanna ride too fast it was 8.30 in the mornin and it took nearly 9.15 to 9.30 to reach the main highway bangalore bypass..i was drivin somethin around 45 to 50 km per hour..reached the first stop..i was quite late and again started to drive..then place ..after place went past me.There was time where i thought that i was standin still but the whole world was goin past me.I was just sittin in my bike and everthin started to go...i was reached tindivanam about 11.30 or somethin..there was 60km more the reach my place..the highway feel was goin .Riding into the normal road there..i read top speed 20 km.I had to drive kinda fast..along the way i stopped in the road side shiva..then saw the fort1 and fort2..which my mother would always talk abt..
FORTS: There are two forts very near to each other..that was very fascinatin..the hill was so steep i had no idea how they built sucha structure..
REACH THIRUVANAMALAI:I reached the place..it was afternoon and temple was closed and it will open only at 3.15.i was there by 1.So had food till 1.30,decided to go the ramanamaharishi asharam
RAMANA MAHARISHI ASHARAM:Its one those places were you would surely find peace.Its very silent.Trees and birds singing..this time i even found three or four peacocks.It was very good experience,quite a people from other countries.I was impressed by a young lady..very simple..might from UK or US..wore a traditional indian dress..everybody who comes here wears only that kinda dress..and a yellow bag..she was silent..and sittin there in the mediation hall...hope god gives her all that wants takin away all her pains..
I was mediatin for sometime..then went out to be with trees and peacocks..it was time around 3.10..so decided to go the temple
TO THE TEMPLE: It was 3.15 and i was in there..after crossin many small temples..and takin pics..reached the main temple..but i was to open only 4.So rested there till the time came.It did and went in,police questioned my bag i said there was nothn in there.So que was there.Final near the lord shiva..after so many years and nearly 5 hours bike drive.I saw him..majestic..it was very satisfyin one.
THE RETURN DRIVE:Immediate after seein him..i left for home.I had to be there home before the next day..60 to 70 km in 60 minutes in our roads..is something really.I drove so fast that i have never driven in my life..my kid bike is only 110cc,7.5bhp..but strong..he has been there most of my life.I am very glad to be with him..passion..is his name..we drove somethin around 85 to 90km per hr in some stretches..i reached the main road...again i drove quite okay.I was very good experience for me..me and my kid bike..we hit the last 20 km road..drove slowly and reached home!!
..Its was worth one..finding peace in asharam ..seein lord shiva..the bike ride..forts..peacocks..good one!
