Pictures From Today

by JermynToh on 13 December, 2008

A friend accompanied me on my visit to the Batu Caves and Thean Hou Temple. The priests were really welcoming of two chinese guys paying respects. The other indian devotees also made space so we could be near the front as well.

The other nice thing to see were the Indian and Muslim visitors to Thean Hou Temple. One Indian devotee was even lighting joss sticks.

Watching an embracing of each other’s cultures and religions is always soothing and calming after a crazy week.

Its a beautiful and peaceful place. Last week was significant for a visit to the Lord Murugan. The cave is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India, dedicated to Lord Murugan.

If you do decide to visit, the temples are closed from 1pm – 4pm everyday. Apparently, that’s when the gods sleep.

the pigeons weren’t really overwhelming … it was more the monkeys who’d sometimes come up to people and grab their food

:-)

but its nice to be so close to nature and natural animals … our lifes are so detached from nature so this does remind us that there are other species who need to live and thrive besides us in the world
