THIRUVANNAMALAI - I AM ONE OF THE PROUDEST MEN EVER BORN


 
 
Sunday 23rd morning reached Thiruvannamalai { Anna means all powerful in Tamil and malai means hills } at around 3:00 AM, and was able to witness once in a life time image; Sea of people coming around the holy hill on bare foot { called as “Girivalam – in tamil" and to come one full around on road which covers about 14 km’s }. Kids, children, their parents [young and old] participated in this ritual.
One thing which is un-comprehensible by human mind is, why do people like us, who don’t get up from their beds ever after sun rise [ unless it is money driven ], get up at 3:00 AM or before, for GOD [ or faith or for selfish motives or whatever it can be categorized ] venture to take such holy journey, with logical reason or not, one thing which is indicative is the greatness of India and it’s might to move sea of people, in this fashion.

If these very minds are introduced [in the form of eductiveness] towards a great vision and rightness of purpose, an unthinkable astonishing INDIA will arise for reformation of entire world.

Will people of India [US] give any heed to such transformation, is an answer which time alone can answer, but we have a duty to perform [as Indian’s] which is very well portrayed in the below quote of Swami Vivekananda: -

 “I am one of the proudest men ever born, but let me tell you frankly, it is not for myself, but on account of my ancestry “.
