If I could relive one ordinary day...it would be !

 

We have been in a serene and spiritual ambiance today. It has materialized at this moment due to our stars unfurled into blessed realms. Siddhasramam or Pothuluri Veerabrhmendra Swamy Asramam is located in a hillock, and the place is exactly at Peda Bandirevu. It's on the way to Parnasala.

When I saw it at a certain distance during the bus journey, graffiti-like letters beamed on a plank as there was an asramam. On inquiry, people said that on the hillock, there was a Sadhu in a hut, and he was living in his yogic practices. It seemed that he was not a publicity seeker like many others. I was enthusiastic to meet him. But it became a reality this day, almost after three decades.

I usually care not a fig if it's about a fake swamy, but here he was well known for his simple manners and spiritual practices. Let me get into my own account on the visit. Now, a modest temple is there on the hillock dedicated to Lord Siva. And the photograph of the Swamy or Sadhu is hung over there on the inner wall. What a heavenly atmosphere with such a variety of greenery.

A cool breeze started exploding across the hillock, and eye eye-feasting surroundings made us awestruck. Mango, neem, and peepal trees, apart from other naturally grown thickets, are there. An ethereal destination sans the hustle and bustle of daily life. It's a place where a yogi performed penances and left so peacefully without much ado for worldly comforts.
