Laddu Prasadam Experience with Devotee

S.V. Temple, Cary, NC

At the S.V.Temple, a dedicated team prepares approximately 500 Laddu's every week. My wife (Anupama) is fortunate to be part of this team.On a Shiny morning, a Devotee has approached to LADDU team asked as mentioned below.

Devotee: Will this Laddu taste same as Tirupati Laddu?

Volunteer: Lord Venkateswara swamy prasadam is same at any place.

Devotee: Will you make the Laddu same size of Tirupati Laddu?

Volunteer: Yes we can make it for you. Please purchase 4 Packets (each packet contains 2 small ones) of Laddu's.

Devotee: Purchased 4 Packets of Laddu's and handovered to Volunteer.

Volunteer: Prepared a Laddu which is as big as a Tirupati Laddu.

Devotee: Thanks for this Laddu. I would like to Keep it Day or 2 and disturbute to all my family members.

The Devotee was going home with the Happiest face with flying colors in the heart. One could easily see brightness there.

We were amazed to see the devotee making a connection to S.V. Temple, Cary, NC Laddu to Tirupati Laddu (TTD). The prespective of the devotee is simply super and learned something new to see the things.

This reminds me Annamaya Charya Kirtana

ఎంత మాత్రమున ఎవ్వరు తలచిన, అంతమాత్రమే నీవు
అంతరాంతరములెంచి చూడ, పిండంతే నిప్పటి అన్నట్లు ||                                                                                   Oh Lord! Your devotees visualise You in many ways. They want to see You in different forms and ways. However, the deeper one’s heart envisions You, the more shallower is Your grace felt!

Aditya Hrudayam Experience on Karthika Somavaram

Sri Trikoteswara Swami Temple , Kotappakonda

In the year 2020, Karthika Somavaram has come dt on 16-Nov-2020.We have planned to visit "Trikoteswara Swami Temple, Kotappakonda"on this Day.

After Darshanam, exploring the Temple and capturing the pictures to feel good. Was trying to capture the Sun and Temple Rajagopuram in one picture. Later part of the day, when I observed these images, Amazing Feeling

Saw the Sunrays falling Directly on Siva Lingam

Saw the Sunrays falling near to Rajagopuram
After seeing these pictures multiple times, Felt highest energy within me.Happy tears started flowing within me and outside as well. Breath has become very silent for few minutes. Became Speechless and felt Blissful State (పరమానందమైన, పరమసుఖమైన)

After discussing, Understood this experience from "Aditya Hudrayam"
Esha brahmaa cha vishnuscha shivah skandah prajaapatih
Mahendro dhanadah kaalo yamassomo hyappam patih

He is pervading in all viz., Brahma (the creator), Visnu (the Sustainer), Shiva (the destroyer), Skanda (the son of Siva), Prajapati (progenitor of human race), the mighty Indra (lord of senses), Kubera (the God of prosperity), Kala (eternal time), Yama (the Lord of death), Soma (the moon god that nourishes), and Varuna (God of rain).

ఏష బ్రహ్మా చ విష్ణశ్చ శివః స్కందః ప్రజాపతిః !

మహేంద్రో ధనదః కాలో యమః సోమో హ్యపాం పతిః !!

బ్రహ్మ విష్ణువు, శివుడు, క్మారస్వామి, ప్రజాపతి, దేవేంద్రుడు, కుబేరుడు, కాలస్వరూపుడు, యముడు, చంద్రుడు, వరుణుడు

One more insight

Sringeri Jagatguru Bharathi Teertha Swamy mother used to have Trikuteswara swamy Darashnam daily by climbing the steps.  Amazing place to know and visit
