Maha Meru Temple - Yercaud

Yercaud which is the poor man's Ooty, was one of the most memoriable outings. One of the places which i will never forget is the World's biggest Maha Meru Temple (As of today). It located at a distance of around 7 KMS from Yercaud. The road to Maha Meru Temple is well maintained. The lush greenery and coffe plantations takes your breath away.

From the hustle bustle of the city, you will feel much relaxed and refreshed with the fresh air. Your energy will increase three fold in such an atmosphere.

The World's biggest Maha Meru Temple is located in the midst of lush greenery. The temple welcomes you with a big statue of Lord Shiva.

LORD BUDDHA is right in the entrance, which is different and it pleasantly surprises you. Buddha and Vendanta/Tantra combined. I hope people take it in the right sense, all enlightened ones have no differentiation of seers/philosopies it is all one.

The gorupram is Maha Meru and below is garbha gudi, where MA LATITHA TRIPURA SUNDARI is installed. What a magnificiant GOD, you feel like seeing the MOTHER for a long time.  Once you enter the temple, the relaxation begins and you feel the presence of the MOTHER everywhere, it was such a nice experience in there. I could not leave that place, felt as though i have come home after a long time. Divine Mother's grace is such.

Yercaud Trip

It was the weekend of 19th Oct and we were wondering where to go, we suddenly decided to go to Yercaud the hill station located at around 200Kms from Bangalore. The route to Yercaud is as follows
1. Bangalore
2. Hosur
3. Krishnagiri
4. Dharmapuri
5. Salem
6. Yercaud

We started around 9:30 AM in the morning and as soon we were on the bangalore - attibele flyover our CAR was crusing at 100KMPH. And once we crossed HOSUR on the TOLL ROAD we were CRUZING close to 110KMS which was my first time to go in that speed. But believe me it is always safe to go at 80 ~ 90 KMPH without much trouble.

By 1:30 PM we were  in SALEM, we stayed at HOTEL GRAND ESTANCIA in SALEM as we could not get any hotel in YERCAUD due to the RUSH and we did not like to stay in some normal hotels. 

The roads are so beautifully maintained that, i was ashamed to tell i belonged to the IT Capital of India which has pathetic roads which is worsening day by day. 

The hotel is located on the Bangalore Salem Highway. The hotel staff were very nice and co-ordial. We were very happy with the service. What we observed was there were a lot of people from NORTH EAST in the GRAND ESTANCIA SALEM, which looked quite ridiculous. Nowadays it seems very common for people in NORTH EAST come SOUTH in search of jobs.

We spent the whole of that day we stayed there as the ambience was beautiful and we did not like to venture out.

Next day morning, we ventured to YERCAUD in the morning and what we saw was really amazing and mind blowing, we were completely mesmerized,
