After the darshan and offerings are made at the Sannidhanam you make your journey back to Pamba by the same route at a relaxed pace enjoying the views with the satisfaction of having seem Lord Ayyappa carrying fond memories back home. Following are the glimpses of the return journey.
Once you board your vehicle you can rest till you reach your destination. Your body might ache from top to bottom, that is just a wake up call given by your body to exercise.Once back you need to take off the mala and the attire in front of the lord and then get into your daily routine activities.
We appeal to all Ayyappa devotees
- Contribute the to the cause of conserving nature.
- Do NOT use plastic.
- Keeping the surrounding clean.
- Keep a close eye on your dear ones should they get lost.
- Keep an strict vigil on your belongings.
- Give respect to elders and unwell.
- Be kind to the police, they too are humans and they are there to only help you.
- Read and follow are road signs.
- Listen and understand all announcements.
- Maintain the queue system.
- Know your health condition and act accordingly.
Note: This is the personal experience of the blogger during the pilgrimage to Sabarimala and this experience may vary /could be different with others. The idea behind the blog was to give a insight into the journey for many who are not aware of the hardships of this spiritual journey and to acquaint everyone with pros and cons, dos and dont’s of this pilgrimage tour. The blogger is not an expert on religion, Sabarimala or any perceived faiths/ rituals. Some of the points/places have been overlooked to make the reading simple and understandable. The blogger has used more of imagery with bit of writing. Some of the facts and links mentioned in the blogs “Pilgrimage to Sabarimala 1-10″ are based on the currently available details, this may or may not vary in future.I sincerely hope that this effort will prove helpful to many.
