Development of Mind

It is said that if you go to places of worship and hill stations and spots of art and nature you are purifed in your thinking about the approach to the world. Your power is widened to see the various things in the world. Hill station worship places like Tirupathi in Andhra Pradesh ,Bhimashankar in Pune district, Ashtavinayak in Maharashtra, Mhaismal (Balaji) Temple near Aurangabad are worth noting places. By visiting places like above the person becomes wise and clever. If you are associated with clever (Pandit) persons and exchange your views with them,you become more wiser. If you attend meetings of clever advisor, philosopher,guide you become more and more wiser and you gain knowledge in that field. In Marathi there is a say ' Kelyane Deshatan Pandit Maitree,sabhet Sanchar,manuja Chaturya Yetase Far'
The place of Lord Balaji in Sonai is a place where one can get peace and fulfilment of one's wish(Navas) and positive thinking towards tasks and goals.

Visit places of worship once in a month.

I do not know why some class of people do not visit places in nearby areas like Shri.Vyankatesh Devasthan(Balaji Temple) Sonai and so in Maharashtra. We are people wanting changes in atmosphere and the life is very limited for doing so many things every day. If we believe in God we should see worship places in the world. In our Country India, also there are very good spots and places where the temple for worship is found. Shri Balaji,Tirupathi,Madurai, Belur, Halebid, Rameshwar, Shivkachi,Vishnukachi and other temples in south,in central and north the temples in Dwarka, Mathura, Vrundavan, Rhushikesh, Ayodhaya,Kashi, Alahabad, and Pashupathi Nath in Nepal are worth seeing.
Going on Tour keep our health very good and enthusiastic.
