Mukthinath Travelog
Adiyen had the happy occasion for a trip to MUKTHINATH along with
our family members consisting of 23 people. It was thru SHREE TRAVELS.
Our trip started on 21.09.2013 from. Delhi International Airport to
Kathmandu. Onward journey was a smooth sailing even though 2 of our
members had not the Voter's Card or Passport which was permitted.
But we managed without knowing the implication for our return journey.
We stayed in a hotel which was arranged by the Travels. Next day
22/09 we started in the early morning. The first visit was to Pasubathinath Temple. Adiyen and few others refrained from visiting. Our next visit was to JAL NARAYAN which is a wonderful view where one can see NARAYANA WITH SANGU CHAKRA ON THE NAGARAJA. we made purchases of Shaligramams
from Agarwal Bhandaar which is near Pasupathinath Temple and they give some
concession to the Group and was reasonable.
With the blessings of LORD KOTHANDARAMAR OF NOCHALUR and adiyen's
Acharyan Srimaan Srinivasa Thathacharyar of Kanchipuram, adiyen was able
to procure a SHALIGRAMAM MALA CONSISTING OF 54 Nos to adhore
KOTHANDARAMAR OF NOCHALUR MOOLAVAR. Adiyen consider it as a
PRIDE & BLESSINGS THROUGH MY ACHARYAN.(A photo is attaached)
For friends also Adien purchased some Saligramams as per their request.
The next move was to POKRA by Yati Air which is the only source
to go to Pokra from Kathmandu. The Air Travel is not easy if the wheather
is not good which can be known only when we reach the Air Port. We were
lucky to get the flight without any problem which takes only 20 mnts.
The service at the YATI AIRWAYS was good and they served packet of peanut,cool drinks which we cannot expect even in the International flights/Domestic flights.
There is road also which takes nearly 8 hours which we did not prefer.
The weather in the Pokra was good and started our journey to JOMSOM
which is also 20 mnts journey. We enjoyed the sight seeing of
HIMALAYA'S especially the beauty of ANNAPURNA (Photo) glacier which was
a wonderful scene.After 2 hours journey by JEEP we reached a place from there
we have to go by Motorbike. Each one of us has to sit in the motorbike
huddling the driver and it takes 10 mnts to reach the temple.
Ultimately we reached the Temple and there are 50 to 60 steps which we
have to pass through.
THANK GOD, WE reached MUKTHINATH by 10 AM (23/09/2013) (Photo)
In the morning itself we had a bath but after reaching MUKTHINATH
we have to have a bath through 108 WATER FALLS which is very chill
and those who had the will power and courage did not mind in taking bath.
There are 2 KUNDAMS where we are supposed to have dips.(Photo)
After changing the dress and adoring the body with usual Thiruman Capu
one can enter the Temple.
SREE MOORTHY in standing Pose facing South with SREE DEVI NACHIAR
is the diety which we were longing to have a DHARSHAN.
REALITY WAS FULFILLED on 23.09.2013 by that Dharshan. How happy
we were is beyond imagination.
THE BEAUTY OF THE PLACE IS THAT LADY PRIEST IS THERE AND
WE ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE AARTHI WITH THE LAMP PROVIDED
BY THE LADY PRIEST
Near the Temple complex one Priest is sitting and we can have the Sankalpam for us and for our family members..The long fulfilled desire is complete and
there is SATISFACTION in our mind.
திருமங்கை ஆழ்வார் Pasuram reminds me the beauty of this Place which is
reproduced here. (1.5 முதல் 1.5.௧௦ வரை)
தாராவாரும் வயல் சூழ்ந்த சளக்ராமத்து அடிகளை
காரார் புறவின் மங்கை வேந்தன் கலியன் ஒலி செய்த
தமிழ்மாலை
ஆரார உலகத்தறிஉடையார் அமரர் நன்நாட்டரசாள
பேராயிரமும்ஒதுமிங்கள் அன்றி இவையே பிதற்றுமினே
அவன் சகஸ்ரநாமங்களை சொல்வதைக் காட்டிலும்
சாளிகிராம பெருமாளின் செந்தமிழ் பாசுரங்களை தப்பு
தவறுமாக சொன்னாலும் அவர்கள் பேற்றில் குறை இல்லை
என்கிறார் திருமங்கை ஆழ்வார்
ஸ்ரீ ராமானுஜர் மங்களாசாசனம் செய்த இடம் என்று
தெரிகிறது
எங்களின் பாக்யம் நிச்சியமாக ஆசார்யன் ARUL தான்.
நாரயணன் அருள் எல்லோர்க்கும் கிடைக்க வேண்டும் என்று
பிரார்த்திக்கிறேன்..
நமோ நாரயணா.
அடியேன்,
நொச்சலூர் சேஷாத்ரி சம்பத்.
