6th of September 2008 : Saturday
I had no plans today, however felt guilty that I didn't go to any temple last week. So I went for a meeting at Office, so I thought of visiting the Sadagopan Veda Padasalai at Jaladampet, they have a sannathi for Thirunaryanan (Melkote), I have got the details about this temple through Sri Murali Bhattar's http://www.srirangapankajam.com/.
Once the meeting was over we were thinking about going to the temple, however I didn't call the person Incharge at the Padasalai. I thought that someone should be there and without calling we started, I made a call to them once we started I had no response. But I was not convinced and wanted to make a visit for sure.
So our friends helped us reach Jaldampet and we took a auto from there and reached the Paadasala. Our bad luck the place was closed, we got into the temple and couldn't see the God and no one was there at home. I was searching for someone and knocked the door of the neighbours, they had asked me to contact another person and luckily the person came out and said that Bhattar would be coming now in a while and perform Sayana pooja to the perumal and the moment we reached there he was getting inside the temple. We had Good Darshan of the perumal. Towars his right was Thaayar and to the left was Andal. We had prasadam and the Bhattar was asking us to make a visit to Sri Lakhsmi Naryana Perumal's temple at Pallikaranai.
We took the same Auto and also made a plan to Visit Sri Narasimhar at Vedasreni. He too agreed for the plan. Now we reached the Lakshmi Narayanan temple and the temple was located near the Pallikarani Bus stand.
Bhattar explained that this temple is an ancient temples and has association with Mudaliandan Swamigals Family. First he made us see the Anjaneyar in a standing posture. The speciality of this Anjaneyar is that he is seen with the Chakra & Conch and in a Standing posture. Then we went to the Sannathi of Srinivasa Perumal. Where ever he goes Lakhsmi joins him and he was seen with lot of Jewels and he was literaaly sparkling with his ornaments and it was a breathtaking sight for us. then we entered the main sannathi of Lakshmi Narayana Perumal , where we saw the main deity and Utsavar Srinivasa Perumal with Sri Devi & Bhu Devi Thaayar and Kodanda Ramar with Lakshman, Seetha and Hanuman.
There is a Sannathi for Manavala Maamunigal and Ramanujar near the main Sannathi. As per the Bhattar all the utsavams are being performed here at this temple. at last we saw kodanda ramar with Seetha, Lakshman & Hanuman. We got Sundal from this temple and started towards Velachery.
Once we reached Velachery I got down from the Auto and My friend removed his shoes and left in the auto thinking that we would be travelling back in the same auto. I realised this after I removed my shoes near the temple gate. Then he said that he might come.
We were a little disturbed because of this event and went inside the temple. The Moolavar of the temple has been closed as they have recently performed Balalayam. so had Darshanam of the Utsavar and then went to Thaayar's Sannathi. My friend was disturbed a lot and we were in Thaayar Sannathi and it was surprising to see the Auto Driver inside and the reason he came was that he found a mobile phone inside the auto. Thats when even he realised that he left his mobile phone too. then he took his shoes and the mobile phone, gave him some money.
With this experience our visit came to an end. We both had dinner and then left for the day.
