A Divine Encounter: Witnessing the Celestial Beauty

In a moment that felt both surreal and profoundly spiritual, I had the privilege of witnessing a sight that has eluded seekers for ages: the divine form of Goddess Aswarooda Parvati, enshrined within the hallowed sanctum of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple.


For weeks, I had been on a tireless quest, inquiring with devotees and temple staff alike, hoping to catch a glimpse of this celestial beauty. The elusive nature of this divine form added to the allure, fueling my determination.


Today, as fate would have it, a middle-aged woman, whose identity remains a mystery, was graciously sharing the vision of Goddess Aswarooda Parvati with another devotees. As I observed this sacred exchange, a profound sense of awe washed over me. The ethereal radiance emanating from the divine form was undeniable, and I was filled with a sense of gratitude and reverence.


It is said that this particular manifestation of Goddess Aswarooda Parvati is known as Abhishta Varadini, the one who fulfills all desires. The very sight of her is believed to bestow blessings and grant solace to the weary soul.


My encounter with this divine presence has left an indelible mark on my heart. It is a reminder of the profound spiritual power that resides within the sacred precincts of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple. As I reflect upon this extraordinary experience, I am filled with a renewed sense of faith and hope.


You can find this mural painting of Godess Aswarooda Parvati just behind the shrine of Ugra Narasimha Moorthy, look carefully at the southern wall of shrine of Sree Padmanabha Swami

Kondaketti Hill Trek: A Triumph of Age and Determination

Image
On 24/11/2024, we a team of 40 people along with professional volenteers of AMAS KERALA conquered Kondaketti Hill(700 meters high), a feat that was inspired by the determination and spirit of our 84-year-old team member, Sree Prem Vallab Chamoli. Mr. Chamoli's presence on the trek served as a reminder that age is just a number and that with the right attitude, anything is possible. The Kondaketti Hill trek is a challenging one, but Mr. Chamoli never let his age get in his way. His positive attitude and unwavering spirit were an inspiration to all of us. In addition to Mr. Chamoli, the entire team, especially the volunteers of the organising team AMAS KERALA played a vital role in the success of the trek. All worked together as a team, supporting each other and encouraging each other to keep going. We were all determined to reach the summit, and we did it! The Kondaketti Hill trek was a truly unforgettable experience. It was a testament to the power of human ...

Santosh (2024) – A Quietly Devastating Crime Drama That Holds Up a Mirror to Society

Image
In an era of cinematic spectacle, where loud storytelling often drowns out subtle truths, Santosh (2024) emerges as a rare voice of quiet resistance. Directed by Sandhya Suri and starring the formidable Shahana Goswami, this Hindi-language crime drama is not just a film—it’s an indictment, a meditation, and above all, a mirror to the deeply entrenched social fault lines in India. Plot Overview: A Uniform, A System, A Disappearance The story follows Santosh Saini (Shahana Goswami), a 28-year-old widow in rural North India who is appointed as a police constable through India’s "compassionate appointment" system. Her induction into the force—meant to be a financial lifeline—turns into a moral and emotional crucible when she’s assigned to a case involving the disappearance of a Dalit girl. As Santosh struggles to find her footing in the bureaucratic jungle of law enforcement, she is mentored (and later morally tested) by the hardened Inspector Geeta Sharma (Sunita Raj...

A Day of Delight at Mandrothu: A Teacher's Retreat

Image
Yesterday, the teachers of St. Thomas Higher Secondary School embarked on a much-anticipated one-day trip to Mandrothu, a journey that proved to be a delightful escape from the routine of school life. While the initial mood was a little subdued due to some unforeseen hiccups in the original plan, the timely and insightful intervention of the resort manager turned the day around completely, transforming a potentially disappointing outing into a joyous and memorable experience. We are immensely grateful for their quick thinking and adaptability. Our adventure began with a visit to the mesmerizing Mangrove forest. Climbing the sturdy mangrove branches was an exhilarating, almost mind-blowing experience, offering a unique perspective of this vital ecosystem. We felt a sense of childlike wonder as we navigated through the intricate network of roots and branches. The aquatic adventures continued with kayaking through the serene backwaters. Paddling our way through the calm waters, surro...
