INAGURATION OF THE TEMPLE GOPURAM AT SRI VASAVI KANYAKA PARAMESHWARI TEMPLE IN GUNTAKAL, ANANTAPUR DISTRICT, ANDHRA PRADESH.
I offer my most reverential salutations at the divine lotus
feet of my beloved mother Sai. February 19, 2014 is a day of complete
complacence and marks a Special Chapter in our family which will be reminisced
through ages and generations to come.
The day when my mother & father has completed their Ultimate Service
to my grandparents (refered to my mother’s parents) of contributing RS. 10 Lakhs towards the Gopuram Construction
of Temple, Sri Vasavi Kanyaka Parameshwari Devi, located at the heart of the town
Guntakal, Anantapur District in Andhra Pradesh. I am really blessed to be born
to such great parents who have sacrificed their entire life time in the service
of my grandparents. Finally this humongous contribution calls for an ultimate
offering in the memory of my Late Grandparents.
No wonder swami said in his divine discourses that” Serve
Man until you see God in them” is a mere paradigm for my mother who in her
whole life she has taken care of her parents like a mother takes care of her
child. I remember the days when my Grandfather used to call my mother as his
MOTHER itself as the way she was serving them spending sleepless nights alone
guarding them as a mother does to her child. She has served them her whole life within the
boundaries sacrificing all her worldly entertainments, including the fun and
frolic with her sweet children which I am pretty sure no mother would attempt
such a sincere act. This is a perfect
example to all of us as to how we need to take care of our parents and be those
blessed souls as parents are the first priority. Swami in his divine discourses
said the order Mata, Pitha, Guru, Bandhu, Sakha and Hari. God only comes at the
last and mother is the first to whom we have to pay all the respects and then
only the others follow.
This contribution was
made by my parents to the temple in the memory of my Late Grandparents who breathed
their last on Jan 21st 2103. My Grandfather has served mother
Goddess profusely and selflessly in the Vasavi Kanyaka Parameshwari Temple
incessantly for a period of 40 long years and ultimately breathed his last at
her divine lotus feet with the divine blessing of mother Goddess.
Today the inauguration of the newly constructed Gopuram was
held in the temple and it was hosted by Guruji, Sri Jayendra Sarasawati
belonging to Kanchipuram Trust. My parents had a golden opportunity of seeking
the blessings of Guruji at the temple premises.
Last but not the least; my Parents were felicitated by the Arya
Vysya State President Andhra Pradesh who was invited as the chief
guest for the auspicious ceremony for the wholehearted contribution extended by
my parents.
