Om Ganapathaye namah

Hiii

I keep writing many of my thoughts, experiences etc but all at different locations, so thought of compiling it in the form of blog.

Today being the first day of my blogging, for me by default, It has to start with my favorite deity, who is more like a friend to me. 

The first temple of Ganesha I use to visit often was Pillayur kovil at K.K. Nagar , subsequently moved to Adyar and the signal Ganapathy at Adyar junction came in to my life . As I moved to Hyderabad, there again I cannot forget the cute Ganesha at a temple in Begumpet, Hyderabad. The idol was quite different and we could relate it to so well.

 As I returned back in  Chennai, the Pilliar kovil at Indira nagar Adyar came to my rescue. I always felt the need for Ganesha temple around my place of stay.  My next move was to Mumbai, and there  the orange clad idol with cute black eyes of Siddhi Vinayak temple Prabhadevi Mumbai became my source of rejuvenation and this form of Ganesha came to my mind instantly  when I decided to write this blog. Finally I have settled at Ayyappanthangal, Chennai and to my joy, there is a Pilliar temple just few metres away from my home, which I visit quite often.

As a child, I was not very religiously inclined, but as I grew up, especially as I joined Office work, I had a secret association with GOD and I use to keep a photo of Ganesha, Mahalakshmi and Veenapani and light lamp every day before going to office. I don't know whether this out of my own need for someone to lead me through, as my working life started quite early and probably I wanted someone to lead me through this life's journey. Subsequently, Hanuman ji and Other deities like Vishnuji , Lalitha devi all came in to my life.

I relinquished my services after four decades of work, I think my trimurthi's always stood steadfast with me. Ganesh ji removed obstacles from my life, Devi Saraswathi gave me wisdom to discern the right and wrong, speak sensibly and also abundant knowledge in my work area and  Devi Mahalakshmi came in to my life to lead me through this life's journey. Not that life was a bed of roses, but that I could maneuver in thorns, I believe,  due to all their Blessings .

Hanuman ji gave me strength whenever I faced an adverse or nerve wrecking situation like getting sandwiched between two huge buses and me in my fragile bike. I use to call out to him, and he always saved me out of such situation. 

Now starting my journey of blogging, hoping they would Bless me in this en-devour also.

Good Luck to me!😇
