Ah… it’s been a very long day. I’ve been completely in travel mode these past few days.

I went on a devotional trip with my family and friends, and it has been nothing short of divine.

We visited Tirumala to have darshan of Lord Venkateshwara. As part of the tradition, I had my head tonsured and was blessed with a very good darshan. I also walked barefoot from Alipiri Mettu to the Tirumala temple, a distance of nearly 9 to 11 kilometers.

The walk was tiring, but my mind was focused only on Him.

Seeing the Lord was the most exhilarating experience. My eyes filled with happy tears, and in that moment, all my pain vanished. I felt an indescribable joy and peace upon seeing Him.

After that, we visited Lord Varahaswamy and then descended the hills to seek blessings from Sri Padmavathi Ammavaru at Tiruchanoor. Every moment felt sacred and deeply fulfilling.

Later, we traveled to Srikalahasti to visit Lord Srikalahasthishwara Swamy and Shri Gnanaprasunambika Devi. There, we truly felt divine intervention despite obstacles, everything fell into place, and we were able to have darshan by the grace of the Gods themselves.

I returned from this journey filled with gratitude.

Grateful for the opportunity.
Grateful for the blessings.
Grateful for the memories.

We had a truly wonderful and divine experience.

This journey reminded me that faith has the power to heal, guide, and transform us. I return home with a lighter heart, deeper gratitude, and an unshakable belief that the Lord always watches over us. My faith in Him is increased even more and I feel I have the power to grow in life and I’ll definitely strive for it.
