#narve

So it took atleast a week to decide on my first blog. I’m too very dharmic (religious) and the idea clicked !! nothing can be best to write o your kuldaivat (native god) you worshiped all your life

During my childhood, like all of us, I too always curiously waited for the summer holidays to come. I started dreaming about the experiences going to happen

Everybody loves their native, but I always had an advantage of making my village sound more scenic. Yes you guessed it right, its 'Goa' . A small habitat called Narve (also called as Narvem in goan) based near the lakes of Mayem and the city of Bicholim. The coconut trees, red soil, lots of kaju (cashews), narve caves and of course the most famous narve springs, the gangas of narve goa. To make it sound interesting, I always used to say....I hail from Norway. Yes the rythm suited best !!

The days were always filled with fun starting from having 'Pao' (kind of bread derived from Portuguese) & tea, fishing around the lakes, having freshly home grown gavar (cluster beans) and the best seafood largely sukhi macchi (dry fish)

In all these adventures, there was a place where you could feel, sense and experience peace. A kind of satisfaction !! 

Shri Saptakoteshwar Temple 

As I hear from my family & from the local native historians & pandits , this deity of Saptakoteshwar has been a force of blessing to the village. The monday abhishek (method to worship), the palki & pouring water on the Shivling made me more peaceful

The history of the diety been hacked by the Portuguese & conquered later by the great Shri Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj has it's own nature of importance to this place. Right from the interiors to the main murti will admire you of peace, relaxation, freshness and the kind blessings of my kuldaivat Shri Saptakoteshwar Temple. 

Over the years, the deity & its blessings has been a part of my lifestyle. I no more curiously wait for the summer holidays to come but I honestly keep asking my diety to keep calling me to this beautiful wonder of worship and give me the oppurtunity to pray, feel and get blessed
