Mangalore - Mukambika - Murudeswar - Uduppi

Travel brings power and love back into your life.  It is not the Journey or the destination that matter, but the company.

“There is no such thing as a bad decision while travelling.” Life is the biggest journey that we are aware of.

Many a times life takes your through same or similar path, but will give your different experience. Everyday is a new learning, light, darkness, life, death, pain, pleasure, sorrow, joy, misunderstanding, peace, fun, fly, ride, life is but a fleeting show. 

At times we spend money, we lose peace of mind, but there are lot many lessons that we learn. 

There is two part or even more for every travel. What we plan and wish to do, and what actually happen. It could be same as per plan - which is very rare, better or worse. But it is up to us on how we take it. What lessons we learn from it and how we react. 

Remember, 'don't let anyone lover your vibrations. In this journey, some people who are in lower energy will not like your higher vibration, they will try to let you down. Own your emotions and own your power. Ignore and say your prayer and focus on your journey. '

The train was late, we spend some time walking around the station, had a good glass of coffee. 

Recollected how Thara was about to fall into the river, when at Adityan's naming ceremony. The car was not put in hand break and went backwards and hit the boundry. An old man asked for lift and would not get out. The host sprained his leg. While retuning, Swiggy failed to deliver full order and when another order was placed, both came. The train would not move out of Edapilly Station, though we were to get down at Ernakulam. And finally we got down at Edapilly and before Rajesh would, the train started moving. So many experiences...and So many people we met enroute. 

Today Ernakulam is in limelight, but once it was Musiri. It was at that time subjected to attacks from the pirates of Nitrias. Nitrias of Pliny and Nitran of Ptolemy is the modern port of Mangalapuram, upon the mouth of river Netravadi. That was the principal port of Thondi and Musiri until the Cheras took possession of them in the first century.

Thankfully we had Santhu Lakshmi and Innova Baleno - to make the travel easier. 

We could taste various food, but did have to avoid Non Veg because of mandala kalam, Karthika Deepam. 

 Remember, "When another person makes your suffer, it is because they suffers deeply within themselves.  Their suffering is spilling over. They do not need punishment. They need help. That's the message he or she is sending. "

Had good Darshan at Mukambika and then the anniversary, like a rose. 

Had to drop the Kudajadri plan yet again. Stayed at Bhagirathi Lodge. Could got and touch the Sowparnika water. Bliss. 

From there we set forth to Murudeswar. This time could get on to the Gopuram for the aerial view. 

Could not get into the beach, because of icecream and when Amma wanted to have fruit salad and juice the waiter asked her, will she have Rupees 300. 

From there went to Uduppi...there were beautiful beaches enroute too. 

Karthika Deepam was beautiful. Got to revisit Hotel Mayura too and had dinner there. Was suprised to hear Neil shout 'You stupid'

Breakfast at Woodlands was yummy, but could not get into both Malpi beach or Kaup light house beach. 

The four candles burns slowly.

The first one said, “I am Peace!.”

It’s flame rapidly diminishes and goes out completely.

The second one says, “I am Faith!"

A breeze softly blew on it putting it out.

The third spoke: “I am love!.”

Waiting a little longer it goes out.

Then the fourth candle said: “Don’t be afraid, while I am still burning we can re-light the other candles, I am Hope!”

THE FLAME OF HOPE SHOULD NEVER GO OUT FROM LIFE.

…Each of us can maintain Peace, Faith, Love and Hope!!!
