We also happened to be the first batch got initiated into this process from thenkailaya Bhakthi iyakkam. Actually I was going to this hill once in a month even before that. It instilled within me a everlasting longing to come back to this hill ever since I visited for the first time.<br /><br /> But when Swami talked about this viradham process for the first time on Feb ’10 it created a huge interest in me, as he was explaining how one could imbibe the grace of this ever reverberating hill just by following some simple niyamas for one mandala (48 days).<br /><br />But all my eagerness dropped when swami told we have to follow a saffron dress code for the whole 48 days. This I thought would not allow me to take up this viradham. As the company in which I was working will not allow this.<br /><br />In fact many had this reservation and when we told this to swami, he said none of this niyamas (code of conduct) could be relaxed. Then he explained about the significance of wearing this dress and how this would help preparing the body and mind while managing the external situations.<br /><br />As the days passed and the date came close, the eagerness was increasing and finally I decided to ask permission to my HR, I had two options in my mind in case if they don’t allow.. Either to allow me to work from home for those 48 days or to take leave for that whole period... ( since I was very much confident that they will not permit)<br /><br /> But to my surprise... simply they allowed... no questions nothing...... It’s an 125 year American company. Though many ayyappa devotees were there they use to come in formals only.. iam the only one to go to office in such a fashion .. no doubt abt it...<br /><br />What then the next 48 days went in a beautiful way.... very simple practices but it prepared me to a new dimension. I was able to feel that and when the time came for yatra... though the same hills which I have gone several time before.. but this time it was entirely different.... the body was so so light as if going like an air.... stayed their for 2 nights...... temp was so cool... not even a blanket was reqd for me by that time....<br /><br /> All the time in the hill was so overwhelming.... Once we came down the foot hills it was so fulfilling.....so much fulfilling....Leninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498530369627427046noreply@blogger.com
