Visit to Madurai.

Today evening I had a visit to Madurai with my friend. Its almost 4 yrs since the last visit. I notice some changes when compared to 4 yrs back.

We had a walk towards Meenakshi temple along Nethaji Road. Amazingly, the road was traffic free today. Then, we reached the temple gate and entered inside. I decided to be careful and not missing my friend. I think that this was the first time I was able to go round the temple with out any guidance of any body.
What people spent to wake up this much big towers ?

Madurai corporation has framed a rule insisting that height of any building/hotels/house should not exceed the height of the Meenakshi temple's towers .Thus The temple holds its pristine glories over centuries.

I was able to realize the divinity flowing inside the temple. I sat at Sundareswarar Dhyna mandapam and closed the eyes for moments. Then, we sat at the steps of Theppakkulam, which was located at the center of temple.

" The temple is built by Pandian in ....." so goes an inscription. I strongly believe that these people should be the finest architects and artists.

He is with this soul.

On my perception, he is the most attracting personality. His words woke up me many times from sleep and shapen the mind with new guts . It is alomost 103 yrs since he left the earth. Still he is with this soul and inspiring each and every cells of the mind.

He is Swami Vivekananda, whom I know from my childhood days. At my 6th std, I happened to read the book "Swami Vivekanada's Life & Lecacy". The book introduced me his vision and ethics.

He had steady solid mind and believed at the youths.

This day is again his birthday after 142 yrs. I do remember him at this moment and silently reminisce his words in mind.

"You have boundless energy inside you. You can do any thing and every thing. You are what you think ! "
