🛕🛕Yoga Narasimha temple, Melukote 🛕🛕

The Yoga Narasimha Temple is a sacred hilltop dedicated to Lord Narasimha in a meditative (yoga) posture. It is believed that the temple was worshiped by Sri Ramanujacharya, making it an important pilgrimage site for Vaishnavas.

The breathtaking view from the hill, combined with the temple’s spiritual aura, attracts devotees and visitors seeking both divine blessings and natural beauty.

While waiting for darshan we engaged ourselves by chanting

Exploring SriLanka - A journey through hidden treasures

Image
💓💓💓 I had my own speculations about going to Sri Lanka, but I would have regretted it if I had not gone. It solved the double purpose of spending with my mom and my mother-in-law and also making new friends at the same time exploring the country. My first wow factor came after landing in Colombo and seeing the Tamil language everywhere.  Day 1 - Chilaw - Triconmalee 🛕🛕Chilaw - Muneeshwaran Temple🛕🛕 It is completely a hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva in Puttalam district. Many brahmin priests were there in the temple. We were during navratri time and there was a grand procession. Devotees can offer fruits to the deity and distribute outside. The temple is worth the visit due to its serenity and if you are tamil speaking person you will enjoy more in conversing there.

The head represents Tirupathi where Lord Balaji is worshipped, the body is Ahobilam where Lord Narasimha dev is worshipped and the tail represents SriSailam.  Ahobilam is a main place of worship for Lord Narasimha dev as the deities are svayambu (appeared on their own). They are known as Nava-Narasimha dev temples.  It is not easy to take the darshan of the deities alone since 2 temples are located inside the forest and 4 on the mountains. It is best to travel with a group of devotees. We took 2 days to take darshan of all 9 temples along with 2 more temples. The extra two temples I will add info at the end of the blog. 1. 📣SHRI YOGANANDA NARASIMHA DEV Day 1 (After Breakfast): ...
