Saturday (13 Oct 2007) wil be one of the most memorable days in my life!!! A trip to my own place.......my heaven... the name of the place is Sreemushnam...Till that day, Sreemushnam had jus been a part of my name....... was told it was once owned by my great grandfather...so the name would run down the generations... Sreemushnam is a kutti village close to Chidambaram.. A huge temple right in the heart of Sreemushnam!!!!!. The temple is considered as one of the 8 'Swayamvruksha sthalams'.. We were told by the temple priest that offering our prayers at this temple was equivalent to offering prayers at all the 108 Divya Desams.. A person gets the 'Punya' of having visited all the 108 shrines....a shortcut to Moksha i should say!! I felt totally at home there...everything seemed so familiar..so dear...the affection was almost instantaneous.. I jus stood there admiring the beauty of the place.. The fact that my great grandparents had been in and around that place for their lifetime churned out mixed emotions. I felt happy (for having visited their home), sad (that i could never ever be with them), proud.... the emotion is just unexplainable..No money or wealth can bring back that feeling... How i wished i could freeze that moment n stay there forever.... but lo, here i am, blogging...:). Well, am happy i at least got an opportunity to be there.. This experience is sufficient to last a life-long...enough life force to drive me around...
I feel very proud & privileged to have been born in this great family... This visit would forever remain etched in my memory........
My sincere pranams to my ancestors
