July 17, 2021 | Hebri | Udupi | Kollur | Mookambika I type this from the very self-pampered confines of a suite in Mahalakshmi Regency, a decently endowed hotel not 20 metres away from the ancient shrine of devi mookambika in kollur. A shrine which in the past decade or more has become very special to me. In ways that I can hardly describe or put into words. Let’s just say I am happy I am entering my 4 th decade on this planet at this holiest of holies. Wont be wrong to say that the goddess continues to inspire and guide in me in many ways. It’s a different matter that most of the times I might not have heeded her signals or directions, mostly due to my own inabilities or pure stupidity of nature. Well, here I am in Kollur, having freshly arrived from Udupi, another special place – the Krishna temple there is another fount of inspiration and guidance since long. Another reason the Udupi temple is dear to me is because of a institution called Mitra Samaj. This is a tiny restaurant
