30 minutes with Lord Venkateswara - an experience I’ll never forget 😭😭
Govindas, last Tuesday Tirumala lo naku and naa friend ki chala baaga darshan ayyindi... I wanna share my experience here
Memu May lo Electronic Dip vesam. Out of nowhere, he chose us for Ashtadala Padmaradhana. Literally, memu asalu ee seva enti ani kuda teliyadu. Once telusukunnaka, days count chesthu kurchunnam eppudeppudu ayana deggariki velthama ani. Ika nenu and naa friend same outfits ani, avi ani ivi ani full excitement tho teesukunnam. Finally aa day raney vachindi.
Morning 4:00 ki Ala Vaikuntham Queue Complex ki velli report chesam. So, ma laga inka around 50 members waiting unnaru. Ee darshan week lo one time and only Tuesday roju untadi, and limited members ki naaku telsi around 60 members ki.
Chivariki queue loki allow chesaru. Me and my friend iddaram andarikante mundu parigethi line lo mundu unnam. Sadly compartment ki pampincharu. Akkada kuda nenu and naa friend gate daggara first lo unnam, eppudu open chesthara ani waiting.
After around 45 mins compartment open chesaru. Ika chuskondi, temple entry varaku aagale... parigeduthoone unnam. Lopalaki velluthunna time lo gents ki oka pancha and ladies ki oka blouse piece icharu. Ee entire process lo memu first lo ne unnam. But God had other plans. Temple enter avvagane names-wise segregation start chesaru, memu middle lo vacham.
Ippudu gents and ladies ni separate chesi, Jaya Vijayalani dati main temple lopaliki vellam. Starting entry nunchi andarini first gadapa varaku kurchopettaru. Ee process appudu Swami kanipinchakunda curtains vesesar. Once memu settle ayyam, curtain okkasariga teesesar.
Ika anthe... Govinda chants tho andarini silent chesi pooja start chesaru, Swami vaari 108 names chant chesthu. Idi almost 25 to 30 mins jarigindi. Swamini chusthunna antha sepu kallalo neellu tiruguthune unnayi and maa friend ayithe edchesadu. Asalu aa feeling surreal. Aa 30 mins ayanney chusthu, eye blink cheyyadam kuda marchipoyam.
Aa tarvatha andarni Swami vaari daggariki single line lo teesukellaru. Literally oka 5 feet untadi emo, antha daggaraki vellam. Vellatame kadu, mana local temple laga Shatari kuda pettaru. Ika bayataki kuda Swamini chusthu vacham. Ayana picture brain lo capture ayipoyindi. Bayata antha ayana trance lone unnam.
Malli alanti opportunity osthado rado telidu, kani idi matram jeevitham lo gurthundipothadi. Asalu ah 30mins ela ayyayo kuda teliyaled...Those are the best lived minutes in my life ani cheppochu...
Meeru kuda every month Electronic Dip veyyandi, meeku and mee parents ki. Vesi ayanaki vadileyandi, migathadi adi ayane chuskuntadu.
Na last one year isn't good for me. I went through a breakup, then left my job and have been jobless for almost one year. But I can say one thing - The Lord Himself is with me. Andukenemo last 8 months lo 4 times darshan ayyindi(2 special, 1 vaikunta dwara darshan and then idi)
So never lose hope. Try again and again, till you get selected in dip🤞🤞
Om Namo Venkateshaya!🙏🙏
