Sabarimalai Yatra 2017

This is an account of my experience from the recent first visit to Sabarimalai and not a travel guide or an instruction manual for the pilgrimage to Sabarimalai (I am certainly not qualified to do so). When viewed through the perspective of Vedanta, the penance and the pilgrimage to Sabarimalai is indeed a supreme means for spiritual progress; this conviction is the undercurrent of this travelogue; its objective is to share the inexplicable joy of the pilgrimage and the benign grace of Lord Ayyappan.
