I visited Anantha Padmanabhaswamy temple today in Adyar. My friend and I were roaming around shopping in that area when I mentioned to her that I have heard a lot about this temple, but had never been there. We decide to visit the temple.
The first feeling I got when I entered that temple is of total peace of mind. The Siddhivinayak idol on the right hand side of the entrance is such a beauty to the eyes - it personifies strength,comfort, power,solidarity, and what not...the sight of Lord Vinayak was so gripping that I was moved to tears...some powerful aura absorbed me. My friend and I had been discussing about how complex life can get, what kind of helpless situations we can get in..etc..in general about life. The sight of this god just took away all the mental strain and I was in eternal bliss...absolutely!
We lit Deepam in front of Siddivinayk and Navagraha, and then entered the main temple...that of Lord Padmanabha Swamy...Oh, what a sight it was...absolutely encaptivating..the same peaceful and blissful feeling, the feeling of fullness, the feeling of positive energy, the feeling of hope...it was like god telling me - "why do you unnecessarily worry yourself about so many things...I'm the wire puller..I will make everything alright"....
For some reason, I really liked this temple...I felt good being there...I generally do not like temples when there is too much crowd around, and I do not like some temples at all because of the way they are built or the kind of priest they have...whatever. However, this temple was different, even with lots of people around me...I could only feel one thing - an amazing aura, flow of positive energy around me...absolute faith of people in the god...this temple gave me a sense of fulfillment, an unexplainable feeling...a positive aura...I really loved the feeling! I know for sure I will keep going back to this temple...those of you who are religious and love visiting temples, should give this temple a visit.
