Few days of seclusion…part 1!
I am back, and I should admit that I had an awesome time in seclusion. I think there is nothing like being ‘alone’ once in a while or when you really want to. And I am glad that I did this, when I was happy about how life is treating me. I read somewhere – only a happy mind can meditate, and I cannot disagree to that statement.
I would have never come to know about a place called ‘Thiruvannamalai’, if I had not married to my wife. Well she was born in this beautiful, serene and divine place. Thiruvannamalai is one of the Pancha Bootha Sthalangal representing the fire element along with Chidambaram, Sri Kalahasti, Thiruvanaikoil and Kanchipuram representing sky, air, water and earth respectively. They are all Lord Shiva’s temples. Read more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiruvannamalai
On top of that Sri Ramana Maharishi had spent most of his life in this graceful place. Sri Ramana Maharishi, had formed an ashram at the foothills of Annamalai hills, and there is where I spent three of my life’s most beautiful days.
The accommodation is free, the food is free, and if you want you can donate something to the ashram. Donation is not compulsory though. Here is the URL http://www.sriramanamaharshi.org/ that will guide you through the place and also the process involved if you want to spend some days there – alone.
