It had been quite a successful 2022 year for me.
In 2022, I was running Shani Maha Dasha with Shukra Antara. Shani being in ascendant as its house lord and in Chandra nakshatra, and Shukra in Ketu nakshatra, made me delve deep into the secrets of Pancha Pakshi and D-150 Naadi Amsa. I was successful to bring the research to a close in those subjects.
In December 2022, I did a NavaGraha Shanti puja for my daughter, a Sudarshana Chakra Puja was done at Home and went on a pilgrimage to two temples. The brahmin priest did a good job. Thanks to him. I gave a generous Guru Dakshina to both the Brahmins.
The temples were visited on 25th Dec. Both the temples are in remote villages. Driving through green fields and villages was a great stress buster.
The first temple at Thirupampuram was dedicated to Lord Shiva, a place for remedy of Rahu – Ketu Dosha. The archana and puja materials were bought at Chennai and taken to the temple.
We were late to the temple, and it was closed from 12 PM noon. But it was all for a purpose, that Lord Shiva has ordained. From 4:30 PM onward it was Rahu kalam, which is an auspicious time within the temple for Rahu-Ketu. The archana was done for Lord Shiva, Lordess Parvathi and Rahu-Ketu deities. Guru Dakshina was given generously to all three Brahmins and the Sevak who helped us arrange things.
The next temple at Thirumeyachur was my favorite Lordess Shri Chakra Raja Rajeswari, the eternal Mother, sitting on Shri Chakra and blessing her devotees.
The drive from Thirupampuram to Thirumeyachur was short but picturesque. See below pictures.
Darhsan of Lord Shiva and Goddess Lalithambikai was done. Archana and Abhisheka was done and got the blessings. See another post on this temple.
