When you wish to free from the frenzy!

Every once in a while, in the life of a student, comes a time when there is a need to find some peace, some quiet. Not the silence you get inside the room, but some place different. The need to run away from the loud music, the chatter of people around, the study stress, the personal problems. Some place far, but not very far.

Read on at - > Frenzy leads you to Dee-Tee? Why not try the Vee-Gee-Tee! 

P.S. - Dee Tee is the most popular bar in Manipal , and VGT is short for the Venugopal Temple. 


That said, the point i wanted to put across is that visiting the temple during festivals when it is fully lit and is thronged by people has its own charm. But once in a while, visiting it at non-peak times will present you just another side of the temple, the existence of which you might not have noticed. The power of silence is amazing. The tranquil atmosphere it provides might just be something you've been looking for. Maybe that little time away from the normal chaotic culture will help you see a part of yourself you never knew existed. Maybe you'll find the answers to the questions you haven't had time to think about. Maybe the serenity of the temple will help you get the clarity you've been praying for.

    1. Thanx Rohit... But roadside temples have vehicles honking, etc all the time... But as long as devotion matters, God is everywer :)
