Today's Darshan of Shri Swayambhu Chintaman Ganesh ji @ Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh 🙏

This Temple is of historical importance as its dates back to the time of Maharaja Vikramaditya. Sehore was commonly known as Siddhpur in the kingdom of Vikramaditya. Chintaman Ganesh
Temple is situated in the west-north of Sehore.

It is said that the ganesh murti in this temple was established by Vikramaditya & around 2000yrs ago, the king of Ujjayani (Avantika) used to worship lord Chintaman Ganesh. One day Bagawan Ganesh appeared in king's dream and gave
him a message that he would appear in the form of lotus in one of the rivers in the west of the temple. Ganesha instructed the king to collect the flower and bring it with him and the king did exactly the same. However, on his way back the king again comes across a divine
voice that instructed the king to take the flower anywhere he wanted to before sunrise. After sun rise the flower would turn into an murti & stay right there.
On the way the wheel of the chariot got stuck in the mud and couldn’t be pulled out and as soon as the sunrises,
flower turns into Ganesha’s murti which was also half buried in to the ground. Efforts were made to pull out the murti but all efforts went in vein. The King finally decided to leave the murti there thinking this was Lord Ganesha’s wish & decided to build a temple there itself.

Narasimhan Lalitha's Post:

My mama was admitted to a government hospital for COVID - this was in Nov/Dec. His lungs were 30% affected and he was there in the hospital for a week and came back well recovered !! And this is not even in a tier 2 city.
Today morning I learnt that
he was given two injections per day one in the morning and evening costing 15k each in the market and all for free !! Imagine how much the government of India has spent for its citizens during this pandemic and all without a single allegation of corruption
(ignore the inefficient State Governments is some states)
And today when I see the slew of infrastructure projects being pursued all the over the country including my own state of TN,all the useless criticisms of the economy and the #Modi government seems to be so meaningless!

Experiences with Maha Periyava:
“Did you see the Pallava’s timeclock in Mahabalipuram?”

I have had His darshan right from my childhood. Once when I went to see Him after I became an archaeologist, He asked me, “What is your profession?”
#SaturdayMotivation
I replied that I was involved in the archaelogical studies of our temples.

“Have you been to Mahabalipuram? Can you tell me what you observed there?” He asked me.

“I saw the Pandavas’ chariot, Mahishasuramardhini etc there.”

“That place also has Pallavas’ clock, have you
seen it there?” He asked me!

I assumed that Periyava was teasing me and hence I responded, “Periyava, how come the Pallavas had timepieces in their olden days?”

“It is there, it is there…! Try to see it when you go there next time”, He replied emphatically!

When I went to

After enquiring about his family
#SaturdayMotivation
Swamigal asked him if he would do Him a favour. The geologist was overwhelmed he wondered what it was that he, a mere mortal could help the Saakshaat Deivam with. He immediately agreed. Mahaperiya asked him if he knew about Kaladi.
He replied even as a young child
he knew that it was the birth place of Adi Shankaracharyar
Periyava then told him that the river Purna ran through that place and that Shankarar's mother used to bathe in it every day. He then requested him to arrange for a diver

There was a case filed by a few people in a court in Warsaw, Poland against ISKCON (Hare Krishna’s, Radha Krishna Temple). Noting that ISKCON was gaining followers in Poland, a nun filed a case before a Judicial Magistrate.

When the case came up for hearing the ISKCON defendant requested the Judge to ask the nun to repeat the oath she had taken when she was ordained Image
as a nun.

ISKCON man said, "Your Lordship!
