Thread: Thiruvannamalai Visit - Help Required

Dear Forum Friends,

Pranams! Hope the Vikrudhi year has started on a positive note to one and all.
I am traveling from Bangalore to Neyveli tomorrow night and planning to come to tiruvannamalai with family on saturday evening.

I had dharshan of Sri Annamalai, at least 15 years back. So am sure the spritual town would have changed a lot. I have read the other thread about the girivalam at this holy town. Still, I need some information regarding stay and doing girivalam this sunday.

1. How about staying at Ramanashram or any other mutt than in a lodge? If you have some contact numbers, please share.

2. Will Sunday early morning, say 4.30 AM, be ideal to start the girivalam?

3. Is there any spritually important time to have dharshan of Sri. Arunachaleswara? Since in Tiruvanaikovil, it would be a pleasure to watch the gurukkal dressing like Ambal and doing 'Uchchi Kala poojai' to Lord Jambukeswarar. I am asking in that view point.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

You can stay at Seshadri Swamigal Ashram also. It is next to Ramanasramam.

Saturday evening is better for Girivalam as night approaches, it will be cool. Morning may become very hot.

3. Is there any spritually important time to have dharshan of Sri. Arunachaleswara? Since in Tiruvanaikovil, it would be a pleasure to watch the gurukkal dressing like Ambal and doing 'Uchchi Kala poojai' to Lord Jambukeswarar. I am asking in that view point.

You can see Arunachaleswarar anytime. Smaranath Arunachale. Have darshan on Sunday morning since you will be tired after Girivalam.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Happy to hear from you Mr.Karthikeyan. I am a native of Koothur near Thiruvaiyaru and settled in Trichy. I had attended my sister-in-law's wedding yesterday at Neyveli and I am visiting them again in the weekend to pick my family.

Dear Venkataramani Sir, Keyan Sir , RajuVish Sir & Swaminatha Sharma Sir,

With the grace of Lord Arunachaleswara, i was able to get a great dharshan as well as do the girivalam both on saturday and Sunday.
Of course, on sunday we did in an auto as that is my three and half years old daughter Bhavana's favorite vehicle!

I sincerely thank all of you for your great support and timely help !

..(From Tiruvannamalai)

Will be back in Bangalore tomorrow and will try to share the experience in detail.
