Simhachalam

When I think of any holy place in India, only thing that i think about is mis management of the temple administration. Being a Hindu i am scared to visit temples, because of the kind of business that they run, i would rather sit at home and pray in front of the various idols that i have in my pooja room. Two years back i have been to PURI with my mother, it was first time for me, and the kind of business that the pandas run, was "no word in dictonary".  


I know any body can visit any temple, we are not charged for darshan, we will not get any special blessings from  God if we offer more, Its just that how much we believe in his existence. 


One such holy place that i have been visiting is Simhachalam. Simhachalam is situated on the top of the hills in Vizag district. I am proud to say that, the temple administration was the best, when i compare to other temples that i have visited. We have free entry, every one gets 5-10 seconds of darshan, there was a minister who had his body guards along with him who were in the queue along with others for the darshan. Here every one is treated equally. After the darshan every one gets free lunch tickets. Though i was getting late for office i wanted to experience the meals at a holy place, i was amazed to see people from every class  sitting down and having the meals with great respect for the food. No one was wasting a single grain, i wanted to peep into the kitchen to see how hygienic it was, i found it better than any road side hotel. No one here was treated  specially, every one in front of the Simhachalam administration was human, who deserved respect, and they got it here.


I am sure God really lives here.
