Spiritual Experience Girivalam

I have had the blessing of doing Girivalam in Thiruvannamalai quite a few times.

It is close to 14 km walk around the Tiruvannamalai mountain. It is unbelievable to see many aged people with ailments take part in the Giri valam without any worry,






On the day of Chitra Pournami, it is amazing to witness lakhs of people doing this spiritual walk in tiruvannamalai.


When you walk in the girivalam path, you will see eight small temples located in different places on the way.


They are namely


  1. Vayu Lingam

  2. Niruthi Lingam

  3. Varuna Lingam

  4. Yema Lingam

  5. Indira Lingam

  6. Eesanya Lingam

  7. Agni Lingam

  8. Kubera Lingam


And Finally, Annamalaiyar the main deity in the main temple


Another must visit place is Ramana Maharishi Asrham. It is located in the start of the Giri Valam path in which you will see the things used by Ramanar and his meditation room.


Though he passed away long back, still lot of his followers across the globe visit the place and perform meditation in the hall.


Behind the Ashram, His meditation room is situated in 1.5 km above the hill. It is like a trekking experience for the pilgrims. Small juice shops and water bottles are available for you throughout the hill path.


Sivaya Namaha!!

Does God Really Exist

  This is an interesting question that most of us have. To answer this question, lets go through my own experience. After my engineering graduation, I was searching for a job relating to my field.I was not particular about the pay as I needed a job with some learning opportunities. Within 3.5 months of job search, I was annoyed and tired. I decided to take up job of any field. My brother gave my profile to his friend in our native which then went to a GM of a leading vehicle loan company. I visited the office directly and was ready to join the same day. Fortunately, or unfortunately, he was not ready to recruit me as he felt I was over-qualified for the post. He told me that it was easy to offer the job immediately as a GM, however being a person of his known circle, he wanted me to give a job on my field or IT. I was in touch with him regularly to know the progress. There was a heavy flood in my town due to rain. At that time, I received a call from an IT office Chennai....
