Where there is LOVE, FAITH & DEVOTION, DIVINE PRESENCE is always felt. 🙏
My grandson Avyakt has always shared a deep bond with both me and God. Seeing his sincere interest in prayers, pujas, and temple worship from such a young age, we gifted him a small Oonjal Krishna.
During the Corona lockdown days, as long as he was with us, I used to take him to the temple every single day.
This photograph was taken on the auspicious Sravana Deepam day at the Agastyar Asrama Temple, where the sacred “Satti Deepam” is lit between Perumal and Garudazvar.
Standing innocently before the divine flame, little Avyakt folded his hands in pure Bhakti and devotion. In the glowing flame of the Deepam, one can beautifully feel the divine presence of Garuda blessing him. 🪔🙏
Sravana Deepam, celebrated famously at Oppiliappan Temple, symbolises the “Gnana Deepam” — the Light of Knowledge.
Today, Avyakt is in California, and I miss him deeply. Whenever I visit temples or even step out for shopping, people lovingly ask me:
“Where is your grandson Avyakt?” ❤️
Some relationships are not just family bonds…
They are blessings gifted by God.
