Devotional & adventurous trip to Shree Tungareshwar Mahadev Temple and Balyogi Shree Sadanand Maharaj Ashram.

On Saturday, we had plan to visit Shree Tungareshwar Mahadev temple which is located at hills near Vasai Railway station. Our team members were Vishwamber mama, Satyawan dada, Santosh, Sachin, Vihang, Prakash, Ravi, Kanchan didi, Roshan & me. Our plan was going by train but suddenly in the morning we decided to go by car since it will be convenient while coming back.

It was decided to meet by morning 7.00hrs at Andheri but as usual our Lazy gang failed to achieve target given by our organizer vishwamber mama and finally we commence our journey at 9.00hrs. We reached at around 11 hrs at Shree Bappa Sitaram’s ashram which is located at the entrance of Tungareshwar temple route. This was end of our car journey and further we had to walk till temples because of river crossing and bad road condition.

We took eatables along with us and started our further journey towards temple but it was surprising for me and Rosha that why this much eatables were taken to go only up to temple i.e. approx. 1km, but my bro Satya told me that after Tungareshwar darshan we are going to Balyogi Shree Sadanand Maharaj’s Ashram which at 8 Km trekking point. For five minutes I was confused what to do…

We went up to Shree Tungareshwar temple and had pleasant darshan of Shree Mahadev (Lord Shiva) by which our mind got refresh again to prepare our mind set to climb further 8 Km. We had snaks and commenced our further journey in sprinkling rain.

During trekking we were enjoying natural views of Tungareshwar’s reserve forest, we had taken lovely snaps of top of Vasai. As it was raining we were finding difficulty for climbing, there was no milestone post to know our balance distance to reach our destination point. Since I and Rosha were new to this path we were asking to other peoples that how much time will take to reach up to Ashram. We asked “Ashram aur kitana dur hai? Ashram ajun kiti lamb aahe?“ to almost all peoples coming towards down side. Everyone given different answer like 2 and half Hrs, 2Hrs, 15Min, Half Hr etc. we commenced our journey at 14 Hrs and reached at around 17Hrs almost took 3Hrs. 

There was great satisfaction of reaching Ashram and getting Darshan of Balyogi Shree Sadanand Maharaj.

We offered Bhajan Pushp to Shree Nityanad Maharaj & His Shishya Balyogi shree Sadanad Maharaj and with sweet memories stepped down towards home…

!! Om Naham Shivay. !!

Jindal's Vidya Nagar Township, Toranagallu

On Saturday evening, while exploring for crushers in Bellary district, Karnataka for our project work, my driver informed me about temple located in Vidya Nagar Township at Toranagallu, Bellary. This place is famous for iron ore mining and steel manufacturing.

There is an environmental friendly integrated steel plant having capacity of 1.6 million Tpa which is owned by Jindal Vijaynagar Steel Limited. Organisation has set up good healthy environment full of plants to control pollution surrounding factory area and township.

We had darshan of "Prabhu Shri Ramchandra, Lakshaman, Janaki & Bajarangabali" at Shri Panchavati temple. 

After that we have seen Artificial Lake & Garden decorated flowers along with cow made up of stainless steel and huge pot made up of combination of stainless steel & terracotta coating.

We have also visited O. P. Jindal memorial hall to gather information about history and development of Jindal group. At last we had delicious Samosa and at left for Home.  

This was very pleasant sightseeing and Temple visit within limited time.

A Parrot at my place...

Shoot the birds with camera not with gun

Self is working at L&T Construction and presently staying at bachelor guest house provided by company at Koppal, Karnataka. It is two storey building & My room is at first floor. 

There is sufficient parking space available in front of our guest house campus to play underarm cricket. On every Sunday second half myself and my colleague, we used to play cricket at same place. 

On last Sunday morning as usual I woke up late at around 10 am and I saw that children around our guest house were playing at our place. After 11 am I saw that 2 boys from their team came to my floor and were looking at Badam's tree. I asked them what happen? What do you want? They replied in their local language "Navu gini viksisuttiruva." I didn't understand. One of them spoke only a word "Parrot" in English, but there was no parrot on tree. After that both guys went to their house for lunch.

On very next Sunday as usual I woke up late and I was brushing my teeth in same balcony. I looked towards badam tree and It was just happy moment for me to get pleasant look of parrot. Immediately I thought to call all my friends but no one was there around me to share that moment. I rushed to my room for taking this beautiful snap for you... 

I am thankful to those boys for informing about presence of parrot on that tree.

Nowadays we are living in concrete jungle it is difficult to see our environmental friends around us.

Please plant tree and help environment.
