Back!

Am finally back to doing up this devotional blog I put up sometime in 2006. I have been very lazy indeed! Anyways the important bit is I am back to writing about my experiences in the temples of South East Asia and to some extent the wonderful temples of India as well.

This recent spurt of enthusiasm comes from my recent visit to Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City as its called now. The people are really friendly here and its really quite easy to get vegetarian food Vietnamese style. Things are relatively cheaper and I enjoyed my short stay there with Shyam from 19 June to 24 June 09. On 23 June 09 we went to the three Hindu Temples of note in the city. The temples were marvellous. I loved the serenity and quiet of the temples. I am going to add on a few pictures of the temples which Shyam took in a few days. For the time being I have found a pretty gorgeous picture of the Mariamman Temple in Ho Chi Minh's city centre on the web.
