Visit to Swananda Loka - Bala Ganapathi Temple in Hoyasala style

I had an opportunity to visit Swananda Loka, an upcoming Ganapathi Temple in Hoyasala style of architecture, housed in the Swananda Ashrama complex located in the Agara village in Tataguni, 3 km off Kanakapura Road. Swananda Loka is believed to be the heavenly abode of Lord Ganesha. The 9-acre temple complex area with lush green gardens is a feast to the eyes and mind. The piolet project was completed successfully and the model called Ganapathi Panchayathana is  open to visitors.  Around the main shrine, the temple would have 4 shrines for the 4 Yuga Ganapathis and idols of 32 manifestations of Lord Ganapathi.

A goshala is also there where cows are taken care of. The Ashram also promotes education of rural children and organizes socio cultural events. I was blessed to a...

Visit to Sri Sai Old Age Home

Recently I was invited by my neighbours to attend a birthday party of their grandson. I was eager to attend it since it was an unusual type of birthday celebration. It was not celebrated at home in a conventional way, but the celebration was with the inmates of an old age home - Sri Sai Old Age Home Orphanage, Magadi Main Road, Sunkadakatte, Bangalore.   It was an overwhelming experience for everyone.   As we stepped in we saw two aged women walking in the veranda. Seeing our unfamiliar faces they paused and stared at us.    Their eyes looked tired and empty, and greeted us with a faint smile. Sri Sai Old Age Home Orphanage is located in Magadi Main Road, Sunkadakatte, Bangalore.  serving the elderly senior citizens and destitutes. It was started by late K.L.

A visit to Sri Guruvayorappan temple, Kanakapura Road, Bangalore South.

 Recently I had come to know that there is a Krishna temple dedicated to Lord Guruvayoorappan at a quaint village called Nettigere in Kanakapura Road, Bangalore south. It is a beautiful temple built in Kerala style, surrounded by greenery.  As you enter the temple you will get a divine feeling and experiences an infinite joy. Tulsi plants and betel leave plants are grown in abundance there.  The history of the temple goes like this - On the banks of River Swamamukhi, there was a spot where a 12 feet ant hill was growing.  In the dream, Lord Guruvayoorappan appeared and asked to build a temple on that particular spot, for the benefits of people there. Accordingly, the temple was built there and on Utthram nakshathram day, the idol of Lord Guruvayoorappan was installed in the month of Mesha. Guruvayoorappan is another form of Lord Vishnu.  As one enters the temple the idol of Lord Guruvayoorappa can be seen in the mandapam. Only oil lamps are there, no electric bu...
