Thank You Nandeeshwara! For visiting us and reminding us…

 

Nandikesa Maha Bhaga,

Shiva dhyana parayana,

Gowri Shankara sevartham

Anugnam dathumarhasi ||

Oh! Lord Nandi who is Lord of all bulls,

Who is immersed in prayer of Shiva,

Please give me permission,

To worship Lord Shankara with his consort Gowri.

Nandi, the big bull on which Lord Shiva rides and is the guardian of the abode of Lord Shiva, that is Mount Kailash, and at every temple of Lord Shiva, came to our house to remind us that it is a long time since we visited him, Lord Shiva and Gowri Devi.

Actually, we have to approach Nandi at a temple and seek his permission to worship Lord Shiva and Gowri Devi as per the above Sloka, but because of our laxity in visiting any Shiva Kshetra in the past several months due to COVID-19, Nandi visited us, to remind us of our lapse… as you can see in the attached pictures.

With Nandi’s blessings, we hope to have a good Darshan of Lord Shiva and Gowri Devi very soon.

A Vacation at the ‘Park Boutique Hotel’, Vizag.

As we continue to live in a surreal world separated from families, friends, get-togethers, grand occasions, regular entertainment and vacations due to fear of COVID, lockdowns and travel hitches, we nowadays recollect a lot from the past, many events and happy memories. I think this has become a pastime for many of us. 

Here I am recalling a vacation from the past to virtually experience and enjoy it through photographs and videos… This is about our vacation at the Park Boutique Hotel, a luxury five-star hotel in Visakhapatnam (Vizag), overlooking the Bay of Bengal and with a private beach.  This beachfront hotel is located on a 6-acre land with beautiful tropical gardens all around. One can take a stroll through the beautifully poised gardens with tiled pavilions and a giant chessboard.  A sandy private beach complete with a lighthouse, excellent breeze and breathtaking sunrises enhances the romance of the sea.

The resort is located within the heart of the city, close to popular places like Rama Krishna beach, Lawson’s beach,  Kailasa Giri and INS Kurusura the Submarine Museum. 

I hope you can experience most of this through the attached photographs and videos.
