My friend has shaved her head at tirumala.It is really interesting to see her at that time.Can you send some photos of your headshave at thirumala.

hi mansa,
i am writing this message from my husbands registration,i need your help because i want to take a vow to shave my hair. i have waist length hair.i need encouragement from you.my name is sangita.i also want to tell you about lice problem.mansa i feel there is no permanent cure for lice and nits.best way is to ask someone from your family to search for lice and nits in your hair regularly.i feel lice comb and nit comb are the best .even i have recurring problem of lice but my mil,sil we search each others head.i am lucky to have nice mil andsil.when yor hair grows again you can keep regular tab.but i am sure there must be someone in your family who can do this.please snd me your photo after and before so that i can get some encouragement.


thanks

congrats for your tonsured. can you send me your tonsuring photo

Dear Mansa,

As I told you, we all are going to tirupati this saturday for our tonsure. Four more days to go after that I will be bald. My mother in law is very happy that I am surrendering my hair to Lord Venkateshwara in full devotion. We will be back on sunday to chennai. So how was your trip? I hope you have had a memorable moments there. Write to me about your experince.

Regards,
Neeraja.

Hi Neeraja,

Great to listen from you. On 12th September night we reached to Tirupati and taken one room for taking rest. On Tuesday morning we started at 04:00 from tirupati and reached to Alipiri at 04:30 and started walking to Tirulama at 04:45 and reached to Tirumala at 11:15 a.m. Immediately we reached to Tirumala we visited to small Kalyanakatta which is nearby to luggage counter to build up the courage. There we saw one daughter and mother who are having very lengthy hair (upto buttock length) where the mother is encouraging her child (9 - 10 years) to shave her head (jet black thick buttock length) but the daughter is denying. At last the mother succeeded in convincing her daughter, she wet her daughter's hair and had her sat before the barber. The barber put two small mugs of water onto the head of the daughter and changed the blade in the straight razor, the barber started shaving the head of the daughter I was quiet anxious to see that, in the meanwhile the mother is also loosens her plant (very lengthy) and started wetting her head, but in the meanwhile one barber came towards us and asked to shave but we denied since we had to take a room and keep our luggage. Later we collected our luggage, taken one room (Anjanadri) at CRO and went to room. After we occupied the room, we took 1/2 hour rest and changed our clothes (casuals) and went to have some tiffin, since morning we do not have any thing. After we finished the tiffin we went to Kalyanakatta (the bigger one) Ofcourse the same was closed and and opened a new one which is marvellous. We deposited our chappals in the stand at the Kalyanakatta and followed in the line (the time was 01:30 p.m.) fortunately no one was there. When we enter at the counter the employee at the counter asked us "She is is also shaving?" (Me) my hubby said that yes, then he gave two big tickets and one small ticket, when we show those tickets at the other counter that guy gave 3 half blades (one each for us) first the turn of our kid (she has not denied) next the turn of my hubby (he is an hair enthusiast and felt much happy while he shaves his beard, mustaches and finally head, my hubby said that shave by applying some force, since he has dandruff, then the barber said don't worry I do like that and I'll also shave you twice to remove the dandruff. (I wanted to take photographs of the head shaves of my kid and my hubby) but as per the new system the photograph and videography is not allowed hence could not managed to take. Next it was my turn. My hubby said that have a sit and he explained the barber about the pimple on my head by removing part of my hair, the barber understood and wetted my hair by pouring two small mugs of water. He bent my head towards him and parted in two parts and asked me to say Govinda, I said and started feeling nervour. My hubby gave much courage from my back by standing. The barber started at the mid part of my head and gave a lengthy stroke, I guess it was almost munished upto my nape, and 4 more strokes my back part was finished and become whitish. My hubby managed to take 3 photos by requesting the barber, the barber said that take one more photograph by turning my head (partly shaved) finally the barber shaved entire my hair, I felt much happy once I saw my hair on my lap. My hubby told the barber to shave once again, the barber did. Once I get up from the barber, my hubby hugged me and kissed on my bald head, it was quiet whitish. Then at the time we come back from Kesakandanasala one man stood and applying Chandan, my hubby, kid and me applied chandan on our heads it was so cold and the experience was unexplainable. When we come out from Kesakandanasala one old man sat to put Govindanamam, all of we put govindanamam and had a bath at our room and proceeded for Darshan.
The darshan was very very good, I was at loss of words to express my true feelings, we did darshan on Wednesday also.
Neerja,
Please put your experience also once you come back on Sunday.

hi mansa,
we are going to tirumala last week of this month and ofcourse my husband and mother in law also are going for tonsure. As the days are coming near, I am feeling very much excited and tension since this is the first time I am shaving my head after the marriage. Are you alone getting done or anybody doing along with you? Tell me about your experience.
Regards,
Neeraja.

Hi Mansa,
Thanks for your encouraging words. I am just thinking about the queue and the waiting time. it will be nice, if the crowd is less around that time. wish you a nice trip. tell me your experience.
Regards,
Neeraja.

Hi Neerja,

I am very glad to know that u also go for head shave, we both are just two weeks different balds,don't feel anxious, It all go very smooth, moreover regularly i am watching the net that the rush is also very low at Tirumala, hence we can ask the barber to do the mundan coolely, I'll put my feelings once I come back from Tirumala. Last time I washed my hair on Thursday and thereafter i don't want to wash and also stopped applying oil on to my hair.
Keep me updated.

Dear Tirmala enthusiasts! Have any of you nut jubs ever heard of anti- lice shampoo and clean linnen pillow cases? If the hygiene situation is so bad, that you feel you most do this, I pity you. Please demand better.
P.S.
If you were going to temple would you really want to offer fruit full of worms, or flowers full of bugs?
