Sri Kodanda Rama Swamy Temple, Vontimitta

 

Divine Intervention: Our Miraculous Darshan at Vontimitta

They say that when you set out on a spiritual journey, your patience will be tested, but your faith will be rewarded. Our trip on January 15th was a perfect example of this.

A Testing Start

Our journey didn't begin exactly as planned. We were mindful of Raghu Kalam (1:30 PM – 3:00 PM) and had hoped to depart by 1:00 PM. We had our bags packed and ready in the parking lot, waiting eagerly. However, due to some unforeseen delays, our car didn't arrive until 2:00 PM.

Despite the late start, we kept our spirits high. As we loaded our bags and took our seats, we let out a powerful shout of "Sath Guru Nath Ki Jai!" and finally hit the road.

The Race Against Time

My heart was set on visiting the ancient Vontimitta Kodandarama Swamy Temple. I knew the temple doors usually close at 8:00 PM, and I urged the driver to take that route. The driver was hesitant, fearing we wouldn't make it in time and that the detour would be wasted.

As evening fell, it seemed he might be right. But faith works in mysterious ways.

The 7:45 PM Miracle

At 7:45 PM, I glanced at Google Maps and realized we were incredibly close. I told the driver, "Stop at Vontimitta! Even if the doors are closed, I just want to stand before the temple."

By the grace of Lord Rama, as we pulled up, the doors were wide open! Even though it was Makara Sankranti and the crowds were heavy, the atmosphere was electric. We joined the queue, waited patiently, and were blessed with a magnificent Darshan that felt personally ordained.

Hi friends I went to below temples last week. We (Kana paati, Naganatha chittappa, Viji chiti,Vanchi, Vidya,Akshaya,Gayathri Bhavani and Srinidhi)started from Chennai to Panchavadi anjaneyar 36feet temple. It is bigger than Nanganallur anjaneyar 32feet. Now a days we cant see the back side mukam. Before construction it was visible. Then went to prathyangira devi temple. It was very big nice. Then went to Pondy Manakula vinayar temple. The temple was fully air conditioned, so very nice to stay inside for some time. The painting in the hall was very good treat for eyes. Then visited Aravindar Ashram, as usual the crowd is only visible as there is no sound in the premises. The flower decoration was good. Next visited Thiruvanthipuram Devanatha swamy temple had a good darsan at the closing time. Due to the heavy rush we are able to see the temple at 12.30 pm generally it will be closed at 12.00pm. Evening went to Thirukadaiyur abirami. it is one of the Ashta Veeratta sthalams. Very famous...
