Sholingar
Sholingar..
One of my Long pending To do was fulfilled on 11th of October 2019.
Started early that day on my 2 wheeler planning to take the train from Tambaram to Arakkonam. But enroute to Tambaram, thought why not by my bike as the trip via Train will take much time compared to the ride in bike. set off travelling catching hold of the National & State Highways. The ride was totally enjoyable crossing through the green fields along the railway line via Thirumalpur. The road was in good condition & my Scooty Zest helped me the most. She did drive more than 300 KMS that day & in 80s:)
The excitement of ticking my long pending trek to Sholingar caught me the moment I saw the name board. Wah!! I made it!!
There are actually 2 hills. Big one for the Yoga Narasimhar & another small one for Baktha Anjaneyar. Climbed up the Hills bare foot chanting the name of the Lords with Moneys everywhere around. One should and can never carry anything on their hands. Moneys even checks the pant pockets for food. So, if anyone plans for a trip go empty handed. "We carry nothing but ourselves to God"!! is the lesson I got .. may be this sounds more spiritual but that seems to be the truth. God does not ask for anything from us, for he expects nothing from us.
the steps are long enough to climb but there a few deep U turns to be crossed to climp up the hill. People use sticks which help themselves and also protects them from Monkeys.
Had Good darshan of Yoga Narasimhar & thayar and set off to Anjaneyar hill. The Anjaneyar here had 4 hands holding Japamalai. there are also separate sannadhi for Ramar Lakshmana seetha & Ranganathar swami. Ranganathar Swami is small cute idol. There is a small pond on hilltop behind the ramar sannathi & is beautiful sight for the eyes. You can also have darshn of sholingar fhill from the Anjaneyar Hill. Had good darshan & set back home happily.
