On Saturday 30 Jan 2010 I went to the school where I did my SSLC and took signature of the Head Master on the papers for getting a copy of my SSLC certificates. It was 1 PM when I was returning to Epurupalem, suddenly I received a call informing me that Koti Misri is in NRI Hosptal near Mangalagiri of Guntur as he is having Paralytic attack.
Then inthe bus I extended my journey to Chirala bus standn and took bus to Gutur. From Gubntur I took ordinary bus RTC to the NRI Hospital. It was just 13 Rs. ticket.
Koti Misri is in ICU. The hospital doctors took good care and he is in the recovery path. His son Narendra and his wife are looking after him. Many people have come from Upparapalem and Piduguralla to see him. I met him although many were denied seeing the patient in ICU as per ICU norms. I am satisfied that he will recover with the good treatment given by the NRI Hospital doctors.It is at that time I saw the Mangalagiri Narasimhaswamy Gali gopuram. Kurakula Srinu and Bethamcharla SubbaRao garu (my Viyyankudu) have met me in the hospital. It is my viyyankudu who has given me information on my cell at 1PM.
I remembered vaguely my visit to Panakala Lakshminarasimha Swamy temple in my childhood. Then, I realized I needed a revisit to the Mangala giri temple again.SINIVAS told me that the Lakshmi Narasimha swamy and Panakala Rayudu on the hll top are the same and it is just one temple. I think so, I was not having that much understanding when I visitted the temple as a child of 12 years old. I had been to Mangalagiir on several occassions and it so happened I didinot revist the diety for such a log time in my life. Very strange God's ways as I started t rethinking why I didn't revisted for such a long time. Even now, I had to attend a function tomorrow morning in Nalgonda so, I am back to Chirala by night itself.
MANGALGIRI REVISITED ON 13 FEB 2010, SAT, RATHOSTAVAM OF MAHASIVARATRI
The day following the MahasivaRatri ie on 13 Feb 2010, after vsiting the Peda kakani Bramaramba Mallikarjuna swamy temple, I proceeded towards Mangalagri by auto rikshaw. I reached the temple, after half a km walk through the galli from the arch of the temple on the main road. This galli type road is adjacent to the temple left side wall and passed by the side of left side gali gopuram. The main temple gaali gopuram is facing to the east and is the famous tall structure that we see from 5 or 6 kms distance. Then, I entered through the main gaali gopuram and saw the diety. The temple clerk is not in his seat as I wanted to buy the token for Pooja Astotharam. All of them went oustdie to see the Radhostavam as the procession has started and reaching the temple front side. I also went and saw the radhostavam as the Ratham passes in fornt of the temple. The Lady artsits performed verywell as the Rakshasa and Shiva diety as the Ratham was stopped opposite the temple for 15 minutes.
After that I went and the clerk gave me the Pooja token and the book on stalapuranam of the Narasimha swamy temple. The Diguva Narasimha swamy is also known as Bogala Rayudu as the Nitya Kalyanam is performed daily. The diety is very beautiful and darshan is amazing. For the performance of the Astothram, I was very near to the Garbha gudi the main diety place and my mind is deeply involved in the prayers as the Poojari is praising the Lord with great Slokas in Sanskrit. Two times The Archaka swamy inquired about the Gotram, my wifes name, name of two sons and daughter Mrs. Rohini and her family are blessed by the Archaka swamy with health, wealth, Santhana Saubagyamulu.

I sat down near the right side Gali Gopuram for some time and enjoyed the beautiful tall structure of the main eastern Gaaligopuram. as well. I cameout of the temple by 5PM. It is still sunny and I decided to go to the Hill top (EGUVA) Panakala Narasimha swamy temple. I took auto rishkshaw fro Rs. 30/- that took me in just less than 10 minutes time. The temple is closed by 3_30 for entrance and the door closes by 4 PM. Having understood the time for darshan I climbed over the main diety templeside stair case and climbed down through the other side stair case. I had the Archaka bramhanas preparing for the Laddu Prasam for the next day in the hall adjacent to the Grbha gudi of Sri Panakala Narasimha swamy. One of the Archakas is kind enough to give me the one glass of Panaka Prasadam and explained to me the virtues of the visit to Panakala swamy temple and the diguva bogha narasimha swamy temple. I taken blessing from the archaka swamy and did namaskaram with dakshina. My rishwa wala has come and asked me to return as it is becoming dark. I saw from the hill top the Ratham returning to te Diguva temple area throgh the Mangalagiri temple street. In front of the temple is the Mahatma Gandhi statue that will eaually be a memorable site for all devotees of Mahatma with all the Godly virtues in this era.
I left for Guntur by 7 PM and reached the Lalitha Hospital by 8 PM. I talked to Ramesh Goli, as he was arranging for the Bills to be paid next day in order to get discharge of his wife from the hospital. I said a few things to improve his courage at the instance and offered him all necessary help as he appeared somewhat in distress. By 10:30PM I reached Epurupalem.
On Sunday morning I I booked ticket to Hyderabad by RTC Bus at 10PM. I reached my home in the morning by 7am on monday. and has gone to office in time.

The ill is said to have the shape of elephant and the Panakalarayudu temple is locted at the head portion of the elephant type structure of the hill the Panakam of the devotees goes into the belly portion of the elephant shaped hill.
