After the evening's Abisekham, it was our time fully at Rameswaram that day. We were at our will do whatever we want. Myself and Vijaya roamed the roads of Rameswaram. Bit late evening around 6 to 7 PM times, walking around in Rameswaram is a pleasant experience. Various types of Devotees, various types of practices, various languages, various beliefs, but one God - Ramanatha Swamy. The thread that was binding the citizens of Bharatha Bhoomi seemed to be strong.
People from various states, sects, languages were pouring into one spot of the vast Indian landscape to pay their respects to Him. This is very surprising. It is probably in the genes of all Indian born citizens, or people with India as roots. The urge to do Kasi Yatra seems to have been for ages. In Kaliyugam, it is slowly coming down and it is our responsibility to re-kindle these thoughts and make everyone get the joy of doing Kasi Yatra.
To have time at our command is a nice thing, which is what was happening on the first day evening. But it was giving us pleasant experiences and we got used to many finer aspects of Rameswaram. We had our dinner at Sastrigal's residence, being the tharpanam day and went to sleep not sure about our tickets' status and Ramanatha Swamy's plans to make us stay long...!
(To be continued...!)
