Unusual for us as we used to descend at Gorur Hassan Nerelge and Javgal for the Narasimha Jayanthi and theer in van loads with ample arrangements, this year it was only the three of us. but the experience left me again speechless. It was a comfortable journey and having participated in the car festival gives one an experience of achievement. The comradeship and the people you have associated with gives one a feeling of belonging. They make you feel so wanted their hospitality unbound. It is with great joy that we all look forward to the annual visit to the ancestral home town and family deity. The temple Lord and the people make it all possible.
Photographs will be posted by mail this evening. this year was tops with seven sweets. the separate mantapa for Vasanthotsava the darshan where very few people were present. the gifts exchanged. the baby girl amulya, the good food, the drive up from bangalore and back. no river bathing no dam climbing, no picnic, no movie watching, but still a joy of just being a part of all the celebration.
Tops was the well planned pooja and theer arrangements, the joy and commitment of the local people every year the celebrations improve and it is nice to see the progress. food is tastier, everything better managed. on the whole a day well spent. three days has been cut short to one, the fifteen eighteen gang diminished to three. But the thanks offered to the Lord Narasimha yes he is the shanthi roopa as Godesses Lakshmi has already pacified him and his ferociousness anger has vanished. he is the smiling happy Narasimha the overlord glad at the progress of his loving people. For gods devotees are a class apart, may all the people be led to become his true devotees.
