hi friends
I have an enthusiasm to visit temples of my religion
to see the marvelous architecture of the ancient people of my
country.we got a christmas hliday so we planned to visit to srirangam temple where lord vishnu recites in the name of sri ranganatha swamy and goddess Laxmi is called sri ranganayaki
here. we were seven members took permission from our warden and started
to trichy which is 50 kms away from our university. we reached there
with in one and half hours. Though that day is not an auspicious day the
temple is fuly covered by people in and out.this is dhanurmasam or
margazhi masam ,so normally all the directions of the temples are
covered with devotees. the moment we entered the premises the priest
announce that the temple is closed @ 10 am and the reopening @ 1 pm so
we didnt waste the time. we went to see the goddess laxmi.It is situated
in a separate gopuram.it is an old,big and an attractive sitting
posture laxmi idol.we took the lessings from her and later saw sudarsana
chakra temple.Then we moved to sri ramanujar sannidhi.This sannidhi is
of great importance.most of the people in our religion doesnt know it,
the ramanujar body is worshiped here instead of idol.yes,u heard
correctly, the people worship his physical body, which was more than 800
years old. this shows the power of ramanujar.He attained it through his
devotion to the sri ranganathar.later we saw lord rama temple,ram looks
handsome in any temple:).words are not sufficient in our language to
express his beauty.Then we stand in the lengthy que for the darshan of
vishnu,the main diety.about 3 hours we stood int his que.its boring so
we timepassed in that que by making jokes on each other(between our
friends nly).then the que has moved ,we saw the vishnu in his sleeping
posture.we felt the positive vibrations in us while we were in sanctum
sanctorum. then we came out of
