It has been a year since I moved to Pareri, a small village at about 5 minutes walk from Singaperumal Koil. Singaperumal koil is a small town located in the outskirts of Chennai.
I am not the kind of person who goes to temple very often. I am here for almost an year and never had an idea to visit any temple. My room mates used to go to Church every weekend without fail. I used to go to theaters in Chengalpatu, regardless of what movie is being shown there, almost every week to pass my time, but never had the slightest idea of going to the temple.
Tomorrow is my last working day at Infosys. I had this guilty feeling of not going to temple for the past one year, which rot me. I heard about Singaperumal Temple from my colleague and thought at least today I should visit it and offer my prayers. I had collected money since I settled here in a piggy bank to offer to God. I took half of it and got directions from my friend and left to the temple.
I have already learnt that the temple is on a hillock. The main idol is carved within the hillock. I reached there around 7.00 P.M.
The experience I got there is awesome. With my limited words I will not be able to explain it. The place was so good for praying. I felt very bad that I have been near this place for a whole year and I was such an idiot to never visit it. It's all God's play to make me visit it in the last day of my stay. I have decided to visit the temple and offer my prayers whenever possible.
So especially for people staying and working around Mahindra City. Do spend some time in visiting the temple.
