Faces of River Cauvery at Shivanasamudram

We witnessed the two faces of River Cauvery at Shivanasamudram on Saturday. Both equally beautiful, equally furious and equally powerful. Yes, Gaganachukki and Barachukki are the two places where the river expresses herself.We could reach closer to the waterfall at Barachukki, but we could only have a far glimpse of her at Gaganachukki. I bowed myself to their mightier spirit and quenched my thirst. The water soothed my throat straight from the water fall; yes, I kissed them perhaps.

Energy of Pure Devotion

I experienced the energy of pure devotion at the Melkote temple. Mesmerised by the rich voice of a person, I stood motionless. I could feel a gush of energy trying to conquer my consciousness. Amongst people who sing for the sake of singing, than for the real inner peace, the person who sang the song was a real gem. May his prayers come true.

The song made more impact on me as it was sung in my own mother tongue Tamil.
