Thiruvananthapurum Divya Desam Sevai

The Temple one should never miss out in visiting for a lifetime. My second visit to the city and the temple. After a gap of 7 years coming back to the temple and getting the blessings of Lord Padmanabhan is a spiritual experience that I have been longing internally.  I thought it might be useful to write a blog about the temple, and it is in 108 Divya Desams. You can get to know more about the temple  here . The beauty is the cleanness and the calmness it provides to you. When we see the structure of the temple, we can see the difficulty in raising without big machines which are to build our roads and bridges. I always wonder what would have been the technology behind ancient buildings. How could the massive structures with so much of arts with more precision? How did we miss those in our current days?

Contradictions & Complementary, a Convergence (C-Cube)

She paused for moments and allowed us to think and come back. Her lecture started with those three letters three Tamil words (பணம் ( Money ), பதவி ( Title ), புகழ்( Popularity ) ). She did tell us all of them are part of our life. The true one who succeeds does not go behind them. Instead, the one stays composed and makes meaning out of their life while all ...
