Our pilgrimage began in Cochin on September 17, 2013 about 2:00 p.m. My wife, son and I headed towards Coimbatore to get the blessings of my aunt and uncle before traveling to Tiruvannamalai the next morning [Coordinates: 12.2200° N, 79.0700° E]. September 18, 2013 (Wednesday) was Pournami (full moon day) and it would extend up to September 19th (Thursday) evening.
There was joy and excitement in the air. This was going to be our first trip to Tiruvannamalai and our very first Girivalam. I wanted to arrive in Tiruvannamalai by 1:00 pm so that my wife and child could get some rest before we went for darshan at 5:00 pm and then on Girivalam.
During the drive, my wife and son asked me many questions and I replied "Wait, it's going to be a unique experience."
Selfless service in Indian tradition equates with the notion of Karma Yoga. The idea pertinent to it is to perform service for a noble cause someone believes in. This service is not rewarded by remuneration or other kinds of material gain but by accumulation of merits, an account said to be kept by deities in heaven.
The concept of selfless service is well known in all spiritual tradition of the world. No spiritual tradition fails to emphasize on the importance of offering work to people or spiritual organizations for the advancement of the noble causes they promote. Kaula Tantra as ancestral spiritual concept encourages people to spend time in selfless service. There are however specific issues in the case of Kaula Tantra spiritual path. This is mainly because of the particular kind of relationship between a Kaula Tantra guru and a disciple.
