Jai
Sriman Narayana !!
I
had a conversation with my Sis about my Mom's routine after her few months
absence from India.
My
Sis ' Hey Choti, Radha Rani is keeping a record of the places and temples she
had visited. usko samjney ka kam ithana asan nahi. She is keeping herself busy
all the time. Oru serialum vidarathillai. Finding a lot of time to read also.'
I
Said ' Yetho acchi bath hai na. Summa sollakoodathudi. Atleast she is keeping
hereself engaged in that way right.'
My
Sis ' Yes absolutely.'
Later,my
Mom came online to talk to me ' Konthey ellarum eppadi irukkel'.
'We
are fine Radha Rani, How about you? We were talking about you'
My
Mom ' Yennodu mandai uruttindu irunthel sollungo.' Approm Konthey, unakku nan
oru project vechirukken.'
I
said ' Oi enna channel mararathu? Yenna project? '
I
remember those wonderful days, when my Mom was here with me for a few months.
Usually our conversation takes place while we drive to School, visiting Gardens
for morning walk or Shopping Malls. We both keep a busy schedule of daily
pooja, Stotra Parayanam, Cooking Naivedhyam, Lunch, Picking and Dropping my son
to School, Shopping, attending my classes etc.. In between she runs to watch
her Tamil Serials and I run for my Hindi Serials.
My
Mom ' Coyalmannam kovila pathi konjam ezhuthu dimey. Sastha Preethi Sapadu
romba jora irukkum theriyumo'
I
said ' Yes I do. You keep giving me the ideas.. yen velai konjam kammiyadichu'
My
Mom ' Hm... nanum poyittilai 2006 approm'. ' Appavodu oor pakkanam pola irukkum
ana mansukku kashtama irukkum pokarathukku'.
I
understood what she meant to say. I said ' Forget it Amma. We will make it one
day. You don't worry'.
My
Mom ' Amam di mey enakkum kovil pakkanam. Yennodu friends yarachum irukkalo
pakkanom'.
I
said ' Oho...Appadi va vazhikk... that's like a Good Girl'.
I
remember the golden times I had with my Appa Patti . I have to say a few words
about my Patti - a soft spoken, humble, very fair and beautiful patti. She was
exactly looks like my Dad. My Mom had lot of love and respect for her
Mom-In-Law. They had a strange relationship we all get wondered at times. They
were very close and so much of love for each other. We girls used to ask our Mom
whether she had any argument or fight with her MIL. She simply laughs at us and
says that they never had any reason to do so. I have seen my Appa Patti
spending all her life simply sitting on the Oonjal (Joola) or on the floor. She
was not allowed to do any of kind work. She beautifully wears madisar and her
ornaments which adds the beauty. She is just a beautiful darling. I do not
remember even a single incident of argument with her. Whenever I visit my Appa
Patti I visit the following temples too - Kulathugarai Ganapathy Kovil, Lakshmi
Narayana Swamy Kovil and Shivan Kovil. I never miss any chance to attend the
Saturday's Bajans (I am not sure about nowdays program schedule) whenever I
visit this temple.
Sthala Vruksham - Banyan Tree
Festival - Vinayaka Chathurthi
The
Ganapathy Temple adjacent to the Agraharam is located in a lush green area of
Paddy fields. There is a river flowing just behind this temple and a big Temple
Tank in front of it. Very close to this temple there is a Big Banyan Tree which
adds the natural beauty of this temple. This Temple Tank water is used for daily sacred bath of Lord.

grand look of granite flooring. The doors of Sreekovil and steps are made of
brass reveals the radiant craftsman work on it. The Sreekovil doors are having
beautiful portraits of Ashtalakshmi.
In
front of the temple, there is a huge well remains with crystal clear water all
the season and never get dried. The
water from this well is used for the daily sacred bath of Lord and for the
preparation of Naivedhyam. The two huge wells in the middle of the Agraharam in
an equal distance is a beautiful sight. Another attractive sight is that the
huge jackfruit trees and coconut trees in the middle of Agraharam leaving two
pathways for enter and exit of vehicles without any difficulty.

Upanayanam and Marriages. The priests are offering good service to the devotees
assisting with all their requirements.
