A trip to Ganagapur.

[Guest guest]

Dear DattaGuru devotees,

I had an opportunity to visit

Ganagapur at the beginning of this year and I had been

meaning to write down and share my experience with

everyone onboard and also take the opportunity to

thank Subrahmanyam Bharathula garu who has always been

guiding me and so many other fellow devotees and on

this trip he accompanied me and showed me the holy

place.

We went by car,it took about six

hours to reach the holy place and I had a darshan of

the Lord's Paadukas as soon as we reached. The temple

is so serene and you can definitely feel the presence

of the Lord,I mean there is a sort of unexplained

bliss/happiness that you feel as soon as you enter the

temple itself,I have never felt anything like that in

my whole life.

After having the darshan of the Lord's

Paadukas,the Nirguna(formless) Paadukas are a bliss to

watch them,you can never get enough of watching and

praying the Lord's Paadukas,there is a Chinthamani

Ganapathi Idol too in the premises and I was guided by

Subrahmanyam Garu to take a darshan of the Lord

Ganapati as well.Subrahmanyam Garu showed me the

Ashwattha tree in the temple,this is referenced in the

holy Guru Charithra were a demon used to live on that

and by surrendering to the Lord and taking a bath at

the Sangam(the Bhima/Amaraja river)it got Mukthi. I

was able to relate to the Ashwattha tree much

better,after having read the chapter and now being

visually able to see it, made it a better experience

and a moment to cherish.

After having tasted a sip of the nectar,I

mean having a darshan of the Lord,any mortal like me

wanted more and then we went to the Sangam and took a

dip,the Sangam is very beautiful and you got energized

and invigorated after the dip,I felt very energetic

and was thankful to the Lord for having given me an

opportunity to be at the Sangam,we then had the

darshan of the Ashwattha tree,this is referenced in

the Guru charithra were a person suffering from

leprosy was asked by the Lord to plant and water a

sapling of the Ashwattha tree ,you can see so many

devotees doing Guru Charithra parayana here,the

atmosphere here is total bliss,we had a darshan of the

Lord Sangameshwara after that.

We then headed off to the temple and had

done a Paaduka lepan puja,here the Lord's Paadukas

will be applied with Sandalwood paste and although you

do not perform the puja,by watching the Lord's

Paadukas you get real happiness,you feel like that's

the only happiness you ever cared for the whole of

your life.There is a sphatik Shiva linga that the Lord

used to worship too.

After that we performed the

Rudraabhishek at the temple premises and then at

noon,that is the special moment,per the scriptures the

Lord promised that he would accept your offerings and

so we took the Madhukari and also distributed prasad

to everyone,being amidst the whole process is a treat

in itself,believe it or not you get into a state where

you can see the Lord in everyone albeit for a short

amount of time atleast,I mean seeing the Lord in

everyone is a goal that happens with the Lord's Grace

,but at that moment you definitely get that sort of

experience.

At the end of the day there is a Pallaki

seva of the Utsava murthy of the Lord and all the

devotees are expected to lie down and the Utsav murthy

is carried by the priests over you and after that is

done,I must admit I felt more relieved as if something

that I have been worrying about just went on its own

by the Lord's grace.

Sorry for the length of the post,I know

that the words I have used might not convey the bliss

that I was able to feel at the holy place but I pray

that all Dattaguru devotees get an opportunity to

visit this place and taste the nectar.

I sincerely thank Subrahmanyam Garu for

taking time off and guiding us. I feel our group is

blessed by the Lord as HE is guiding us diligently in

so many ways and we should spread the Datta naama as

much as we can in whatever way we can.
