This is series on "Azhagar" from Sri Sampath Rengarajan is compelling me to go for a visit to that kshetram. These articles affect me more due to my recent visit to similar places in India. I never thought that place would matter. I was even thinking from a highly philosophical view that "God is everywhere; lord is beyond space and time; why go to a particular place to think or realize God?" But surprisingly, space, kshetrams and the environment of devotees will make a thorough difference to our minds. This is due to my recent experience in India, hence, unquestionably true, at least to me. ( reminds me of the views of our "Suka Brahmam" of bhagawatham - who, itseems enjoyed Lord in a Nirguna Form and later on got transformed by the unique simple bhakti of the gopikas and stated that Nirguna Jnana is dry compared to the ever inspiring bhakti rasa for the Saguna form).
