DR.Radha Rangarajan, Bangalore, Karnataka |
I recently, along with my family friends, completed the malainaadu divyadesha yatra
I profusely thank sree vasudevan sir for organising the same.
Though we planned for the trip with Lord vaasudeva kataksha, it was this vasudeva in person who executed our trip & made it a grand success.
After we planned, there was Nipah virus outbreaks in parts of Kerala. We were regularly in touch with him. He constantly followed up with his team in Kerala for updates & had instilled confidence in us to proceed with the yatra.
We have travelled with him before too. We have done enough tours & all were customized plans. Inclusions & deletions were accepted by him very graciously.
He was in regular touch both over the phone & WhatsApp daily and our conversations were conveyed to the drivers, too.
They were well aware of the schedule for the day. The drivers are very competent. They keep up the timings. They stopped at the hotels that suited our requirements. The accommodations were excellent.
We want to travel more & more with him. I have also personally recommended many to travel with him & recommend many more to travel .

Mrs.Pavithra Vijayaraghavan & family, Bangalore, Karnataka. |
Last week, along with my family I got the opportunity to go to the Malainadu divyadesams and the trip was very well organised by Mr. Vasudevan Sir.
In the 1st instance itself he gave the full view of all the Divyadesam details and detailed itinerary of the divya desams was shared on the previous day and we could able to cover all the 13 Divya desams in 3 days by God's grace
Along with these, he has arranged for the abhimana Kshetrams as well like Guruvayur, Tiruvambady Unni Krishna temple and Dhanvantri temple which were not included in the itinerary.
Travel, Accomodation was excellent and the driver was very cooperative.
Big Thanks to 108 divya desam team (Mr.Vasudevan Sir) for fulfilling our needs and giving us great darshanam.
I would really recommend to go with 108 Divya Desam (Mr. Vasudevan Sir) to have comfortable and excellent travel, stay and darshanam.
Thank you for all the support and guidance Vasudevan sir

Adiyen Ramanuja daasan.
After some online research, we decided to do our yatra with 108divyadesam.com. Since we had to book everything from Canada and online, we did not know what to expect.
But before our trip to India, we had one Whatsapp call with Sri Vasudevan sir and immediately we got a very warm feeling and confidence that everything will be fine.
With all the positive testimonials, we trusted in God and went ahead. We planned a 5 day Chola naadu trip and a 3 day Thondai naadu trip.
Even before our trip started, we were given a very detailed itinerary and a day-to-day schedule.
From the moment, we were picked up till the day we were dropped off, with God’s grace everything went off perfectly.
Sri Vasudevan’s dedication and commitment to ensure the highest level of service is commendable.
The visits to the temples were well paced and especially the use of a guide in Chola naadu made the visits so efficient.
The cars for both trips were very clean and comfortable. Both the drivers we got were so patient, humble and excellent in all ways.
With our special requests for no-onion and no-garlic vegetarian food both the drivers were great in taking us to the right places for lunches and dinners.
The accommodations in Tiruchirapalli, Kumbakonam, Chennai and Kancheepuram were excellent.
If you feel sad that the yatra is ending on the last day and wanted it to continue, then you know in your heart that it was an excellent yatra.
I pray to God to give Sri Vasudevan, his family and his dedicated team tremendous strength in continuing this noble cause.
Adiyen Ramanuja daasan.

Mr. Ramesh Narayanan & Mrs. Suliga Ganapathy, Texas, USA |
We came across 108divyadesam.com through Google as we wanted to do the Malai Nadu Divya Desam tour with a little time at our disposal.
We were very skeptical at the beginning since we had no personal reference to this service; however, after talking to Vasudevan ji with his persistent follow ups and transparency, we had no doubt in our mind that this would fly through.
He tailored the tour for just 2 of us and to fit within our stringent timeline.
Furthermore, he shared detailed information about each temple that we wanted to visit in PDF format which was quite handy.
Our driver was awesome, quite knowledgeable about the entire route, the temple timings and very well mannered. We would hire him again as we haven't seen such a friendly and modest driver like him. He made our entire tour extra special by not only keeping the timeline and stopping at restaurants that we would be interested in but also carrying all our luggages to the platform where we boarded our train back to our hometown.
We would personally vouch for Mr.Vasudevan in accommodating people all over the world with his exceptional service, and wish him the very best.
Thank you sir and keep up the good work!

ThondaiNadu & NaduNadu Divyadesams
We visited ThondaiNadu & NaduNadu Divyadesams(24) from 26 th of September 2023.
As usual, Mr Vasudevan of 108 Divyadesam. com has made all arrangements for dharsan as done for our earlier programs - Cholanadu and Pandianadu Divyadesams.
We started the dharsan trip from Chennai and covered Kancheepuram ,Thirukoilur, Cuddalore etc. However we missed moolavar dharsan in 4 DDs due to "Palalayam".
We also visited some of the old temples like Aadhithiruvarangam, Thirupalkadal, birth place of Koorathalwar, Sriperumpudur Adhikesaperumal, Ashtalaksmi temple in BesantNagar etc.
The stay in hotels was comfortable as usual.
We propose to visit Malainadu DDs in October 2023 with the same tour operator because of the comfortability.

Mr.S. Muralidharan Sowrirajan, Chennai, Tamilnadu |
Our Kerala Divyadesams Dharsana trip was really made memorable, smooth and enjoyable by Mr Vasudevan and his absolutely perfect planning and excellent service at every step of the journey.
Mr Vasudevan was very helpful with his lot of experience and guidance.
Literally the hand holding he gave made us feel the warmth of our parents. Well arranged itinerary with more temples and lot of time for Divyadesams made it very blissful.
It has now made us longing to undertake more such yatras thru Mr Vasudevan. Also a great Driver provided was very helpful and experienced and very informative guide.
On the whole, my prayers to Lord Krishna that he give Mr Vasudevan lot of energy and life so that he can continue his excellent work for benefit of eager devoted Aathmas.

Malayaala naatu Divya Desam yatra from July 9-12, 2023.
Back in January 2023, we were searching for a yatra guide to take us through all the Divya desams in Kerala, through our friends circle and also websites.
108divyadesam.com got our attention and we reached out to Sri. Vasudevan who explained the entire plan to us, which station to reach from Chennai and depending on the coverage of temples where we can depart back to Chennai.
As per his recommendation, we departed from Chennai and arrived at Nagercoil Junction from where his driver picked us early in the morning, took us to a nice hotel nearby to shower and refresh.
It was a smooth transition and the hotel stay was excellent and brief. We went to the first 3 Divya desams and drove off to the northern part of Kerala for other Divya desams. At the end of the first day, we were again settled in an excellent hotel accommodation for the night. Again, in the early morning around 5:00AM, we started off to visit more Divya desams and other temples as well.
Throughout the trip, the temple visits were primarily early in the morning between 500-1030AM and some in the evening.We have to commend our driver for promptly waiting to take us to the temples during those hours, and arranging for breakfast/coffee breaks as per our needs.
Second and third day, we visited more temples and settled down in another excellent hotel accommodation for the night. Fourth day, we visited remaining temples and settled down in Guruvayoor from where we departed back to Chennai.
It was an excellent and smooth experience throughout this trip and have to commend Mr. Vasudevan for outstanding arrangement and following up with us on phone throughout the trip. An excellent driver with knowledge about the temples and the vegetarian restaurants and so we never had any issues finding good food and reaching temples on time.
We highly recommend any devotee who wants to visit the Divya desams and other temples to contact Sri. Vasudevan via the 108divyadesam.com website.
Thanks & Regards.

REVIEW OF MY PANDYA NADU YATRA FROM 28TH JULY TO 2ND AUGUST.
In continuation with our 108 divyadesam yatra with blessings of god we [Nmrao, Maruna, Pmadhavi] planned the Pandya nadu yatra from 28th to 2nd aug.
Sri Vasudevan is kind enough to organise this trip.
We reached Tirunelveli on 28th night. we visited Vanamamalai,and thirukkurungudi. thiruvaikuntam and other nava tirupathis. we had darshan at sankarapalli, villiputtur,tirupullani etc and stayed at Rameswaram after holy bath in 21 wells in the temple, had puja and abhishekam and visited navapashanams, dhanushkodi. we got the blessings at thirukostiure, thirumeyyam, moghu rand madhra meenakshi amman temple and returned home.
During the entire programmed Mr Vasudevan is with us on the phone and guided every step in our journey.
I am to say that when I was not able to visit nellaiappan temple at tirunelveli he immediately enquired about my health condition and followed up. He is so concerned about the health of the participants.
He also provided the history of every place we visit so that we can have a better knowledge of the place before we visit.
It is not only the thing, when we requested him to plan for a short trip to srimushn, thirunallar, and palani he readily obliged though he is very busy with other clients.
Without his effort we would not have completed 102 divyadesamas by god’s grace.
There may be other agencies but Mr Vasudevan is the best for any trip you plan.
I am fully satisfied with full heart, I also suggested my relations to plan for trip with him.
I am sure any body who take his help will have the same feeling.
I strongly suggest to those who are in pilgrimage to divya desams to take the help of Mr. Vasudevan.
Thanks and regards

Mrs.Brindha Raghavan, Tamilnadu, India |
We went on Malai Naattu Tirupathi tour with 108 divyadesam tours for 4 days and 3 nights and I am happy to say that it was a really good and safe experience.
The tour plan was neat and covered several temples and places of interest apart from the divya desam temples along the way, giving us a glimpse of Kerala's many highlights.
Our driver was a very patient and soft spoken person and we were comfortable traveling with him.
The hotels we stayed in were comfortable and all the restaurants where the driver stopped for lunch or dinner were good places.
We enjoyed our trip and would recommend it to anyone considering to visit these places

Mr.R.Murali, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu |
We six people (3 brothers with spouses) embarked Pandiyanadu Divyadesam tour arranged by Mr.Vadudevan sir (virtually) for 3 nights and 4 days from 29th July to 1st August 2023.
Pickup and drop off was done professionally.
The tour arranged in such a way we didn't feel tiredness or discomfort midway. The places and timings and rest were well planned.
Mr.Vadudevan monitored our movement with driver and ourselves virtually intermittently and ensured that we enjoy the trip comfortably.
Driver was very polite and helpful in handling our Luggages and he maintained punctuality in each stages of our travel. We all 6 are in the age group of 58 yrs to 67 yrs.
The itinerary is prepared in such a way to cover all 18 Divyadesams and other prominent temples enroute.
We had visited all Divyadesams and many other prominent temples of Sri Vaishnava and Shaiva temples. It all depends on your energy level and health conditions. However, 18 Divyadesams are covered very comfortably.
We plan to cover Malainattu Divyadesams after some gap through Mr Vasudevan sir in due course.
Thanks and regards

After the visit of Cholanadu Divyadesams in June 2023, we ( self ,wife and my daughter ) undertook Pandianadu DDs from 01.08.23 to 04.08.23.
This trip was also organised by Shri Vasudevan for 4 days with two-night stay at Tirunelveli and one night stay at Madurai.
We had a darshan of 11 DDs in Tirunelveli area and 7 in Madurai belt.
The tour was well organized with meticulous planning & follow up on daily basis by Shri Vasudevan for the darshan of 18 DDs.
Besides DDs, the famous temples such as Tiruchendur ,Nellaiappar, Sankarankoil , Pazhamuthirsolai, Pillaiyarpatti , Navaphasanam, Sethukkarai, Uthirakosamangai etc were also covered comfortably.
The driver was very punctual and took us to all these temples as planned ,which enabled us to have a good darshan, He has spoken less but more dedication in coverage of places with sufficient breaks for meals etc.
A memorable darshan of all Perumal, OM NAMO NARAYANA NAMAHA.

Mr. Vijaykumar, Mrs.Radha, Qatar, Middle East |
A few weeks back we had a Darshan of all the Malai Nadu Divya Desams,
Thanks to Sri Vasudevan for organizing the same.
The trip was excellently organized and our Darshans in all the temples were very meticulously planned by him and informed to the driver who took us and the driver executed the plan very well.
As we decided at a short time and had to go to Trivandrum we had requested him to give a program.
Generally this trips start from Nagerkoil but we started from Cochin and ended in Nagerkoil.
The timings were very well planned. No time was wasted and we had visited Guruvayoor and couple of other famous temples also on our way.
The hotel accommodations were very nicely organized and the driver who was dedicated for us as this tour was custom made had full information about all the temples and timings and we were on the dot everywhere.
Hotel people were all accommodative and we could comfortably manage food also everywhere.
Our big appreciation and thanks to Sri Vasudevan for organizing this tour and we would rate the tour as EXCELLENT and we will recommend him for these type of tours confidently.
The most important thing what we observed in this successful tour of ours is his continuous follow up both with us and the driver to ensure and suggest so that we don’t miss anything and are on time.
Wish him all the very best and look forward to go more tours with him.

Mr.Govindarajan.P, Chennai, Tamilnadu |
We were planning for 13 Malainattu divesam and to be honest we browsed the google to find for best itinerary so that we plan it ourself .
To our luck , it landed in https://www.108divyadesam.com , which had details of all the divyadesam and how one can cover all the 13 shethrams basis days available. It had details on other abimanasthalam as well.
We sent an enquiry to Vasudevan sir via whatsapp and he promptly responded with all the details . He called and explained the options available.
He didn't rush us or influence us anytime but mentioned to take ample time deciding on the duration of the visit . This very approach made us feel more comfortable with him .
This was our first trip to divya desam through a tour operator since we have always been travelling on our own . Hence the apprehension was very high.
We had booked for 3 Nights and 4 Days travel. We received the full itinerary, hotel details , complete information about the temples and places we are going visit .
Choice of hotels were excellent as it had very good ratings and feedback .
Just a day before the travel, we received driver and cab details . With no surprise Driver called us and enquired about our travel and the point we need to meet him .
He did mention that he has already reached Nagarcoil and will be available early in the morning to pick us. This made us feel much more comfortable and feel that this is going to be very exciting trip .
All the 4 days , we used to get the plan for the next day a day before and call from Vasudevan sir explaining the same .
He used to call and check at regular intervals if we are going as per plan and feeling comfortable.
More importantly , he never used to give us time limit saying come back in certain time rather encouraged us to spend time in each place and not to rush back .
On the other hand an awesome driver. He used to be ready before us and very professional . In every place , he will guide how to enter and exit . He ensured to have the vehicle reversed and ready for the next trip before we came back .
Even though it might sound simple but it really showed his involvement. Not even one time he showed attitude and was very soft . Also he used to get us ontime for Breakfast/Lunch/tea break/Dinner and stop at pure veg restaurants where we got Jain food.
Apart from temples , we were also taken for a boat ride in back-water , which was an life time experience . Driver helped us in getting a good deal . Trip to Annai Kotta in Guruvayoor was an different experience .
Overall we were very satisfied with the entire trip which went as per the plan and for sure encourage others to choose 108.divyadesam as your touring partner .
Thanks once again to Vasudevan sir for making this a very memorable trip .

We had been planning to visit Malai Naadu divya desam temples for more than four years.
By grace of God, we were able to get amazing darshan in all the temples with the customized package beautifuly crafted by Mr.Vasudevan and Team.
Right from the moment we landed in Nagarcoil, till we departed from Thrissur, Mr.Vasudevan was virtually connected with us and ensured proper darshan as per the plan in all the temples.
We were getting schedule wise itinerary before starting every session on all the four days !!
Accomodations were excellent and very comfortable. Special appreciation to driver, who took us to nice authentic Tamil restaurants.
Highly recommend the malai naadu divya desam package from www.108divyadesam.com

We were planning to visit 108 Divyadesams in the month of Feb 2023 and searched the website to identify a suitable travel agency.
We shortlisted two to three agencies and discussed with them. Finally we had a fruitful discussion with Mr Vasudevan who gave all the details about 108 DDs.
In fact , we proposed to start our Chola Nadu DDs trip in March 2023 . But Mr Vasudevan only suggested to start from June 2013 to avoid summer heat.
1.our divine trip started from Trichy on 13.6.23 and ended on 17.6.23 at Trichy
2. At Trichy and Kumbakonam, accommodations were arranged in good hotels which were very comfortable for our stay.
3.Convinient timings with lunch break & rest at hotel were to be appreciated.
4.An experienced driver with politeness and very punctual in covering all DDs.
5. A guide at Sirkazhi guided us in worshiping all Thinunangur DDs.
6. Above all, Mr Vasudevan monitored on daily basis and posted the next day program with temple details, which were very useful to us.
7. A divine trip - well organised, senior citizen friendly , comfortable stay & food with reasonable cost which was possible because of service oriented Mr Vasudevan.
8.We planned to cover other DDs through him only and scheduled our ThondaiNadu/ NaduNaadu in July 2013.
9.A memorable trip of Perumal Dharsans for which a big thanks to Mr. Vasudevan and his team for this divine Service.
We wish them for good health to undertake such divine trips for others.

We recently planned for a trip to Tirunelveli to cover the Pandiya Nadu Divyadesams and Tiruchendur.
Earlier in 2018, we availed the services of Mr.Vasudevan of 108Divyadesams.com for our Malinadu Divya desams trip. He had organised the trip so well and still it remains afresh in our memories.
As far as the current trip is concerned, Mr.Vasudevan had planned and organised the trip so well, we did not face even a minor hiccup, anywhere.
Right from picking us up at the railway station, booking us with some of the best hotels in Tirunelveli as well as Tiruchendur as well as conducting the tour on time and completing the temple visits exactly as per the iterinary, his meticulous planning and excellent execution was very evident.
He was constantly in touch with the driver, who was also extremely coperative and guided us on a virtual basis throughout the entire tour, as though he was phyisically travelling with us. Apart from the divya desams, he also helped us cover other important temples enroute.
Highlight of the trip was his providing the details of all the Temples were about to visit before hand which made the visit even more worthful. Overall it was an enjoyable trip and we look forward to our continued association with Mr.Vasudevan for all our future divya desam trips.
Thanks and Regards,

Smt. Vidhya Srikumar & Shri VS Srikumar, Chennai |
We had booked the 3 nights and 4 days Malai Nadu Divya Desam tour with Shri Vasudevan in the last week of March 2023.
His smart recommendation to arrive at Nagercoil on early morning of Day 1 and depart on late evening of Day 4 from Thrissur ensured that all the temples were covered as per itinerary.
Coming to the key highlights of this outstanding tour, we must mention that it was planned and executed to perfection in all respects, thanks to Shri Vasudevan.
Whether it be the driver, car, hotels or the restaurants, everything was simply outstanding.
Special mention must be made about our driver who drove very skilfully and had excellent knowledge of the temple routes as well as the high quality, pure vegetarian restaurants at every location during the entire 4 days.
In all, we covered 38 temples and the Elephant Camp Sanctuary at Guruvayur.
As can be seen from my review, this tour was supposed to cover 25 temples as mentioned in the website but we covered significantly more than that.
It must be mentioned that one must be highly time conscious and make the best use of every single minute to ensure that the coverage is maximum.
If one were to spend long hours in every temple, the number of temples covered would obviously be less.
Also, everyday session needs to start very early at 5 am as otherwise, it would be impossible to cover these many temples.
To summarize, Customer Satisfaction is given utmost priority by Shri Vasudevan.
He interacts very well to understand our requirements and ensures that every single aspect is taken care of 100%.
The best part is that the cost is completely reasonable when we consider the quality of services offered in this entire tour.
We look forward to more such tours with Shri Vasudevan in future too.
It is highly recommended to every devotee for engaging the services of Shri Vasudevan and having a blissful darshan of Almighty at every temple.
A completely satisfying and wholesome experience indeed!
Om Namo Narayana!

Malayanaattu Divyadesham yAtre from 9th to 13th Apr 2023 (5 days and 4 nights)
Planning
We opted for a customized tour of Malayanattu Divyadesham and browsed online for different tour operators.
The name 108Divyadesam.com appealed to us and we did basic research on this website and found that the terms were suitable for our preference.
Upon calling the prominently displayed mobile number +91 9894041169 we got immediate response from Sri. Vasudevan PadmanAbhan with a greetings Om namo nArAyaNAya.
In a single interaction he understood our requirements and guided us with different options to commute from Bangalore to undertake the yAtra in appropriate chartered vehicle.
Accordingly, we planned onward journey by train to reach Nagarkoil on 9th Apr around 7.30 am to start the tour and return journey from Trichur on the 13th night.
After booking the train tickets to and fro and paying 50% of advance, Sri. Vasudevan called back to discuss finer details w.r.t to priorities of logistics as well as the places we are interested to visit apart from 13 Divyadesams and accordingly tailored the itinerary covering
as many as 25 additional places that included Abhimaana Sthalams and other places of interest which included KanyAkumari, Varkala beach etc.
Implementation
The well-mannered driver was an early bird and had reached the Nagercoil Rly Station before we reached and our journey throughout the yAtra was without any impediments till the end.
Hotels booked were decent enough to provide comfort for short term stays typical to suite piligrims.
Food wasn’t included in the package but we had flexibility in choosing the decent vegetarian hotels with driver’s assistance especially for our breakfast and lunch needs.
Best part of the tour was Mr. Vasudevan’s day-to-day follow ups of the places covered and planning for the next day with necessary additions and deletions based on our renewed preference which of course were very few because of initial realistic planning.
I should say this was a unique experience wherein the person who you haven’t seen is travelling with you virtually to the places to ensure successful completion of the planned itinerary.
This has left a very good impression on both of us and we have decided to undertake the next set of divyadesam tour under his guidance.

We have been planning for chola nadu divya desam trip since long time. But im not able to find a proper way. At that time i googled and i came to know about 108divyadesam.com and Mr.Vasudevan sir.
I asked him regarding cholanadu trip. He explained each and every detail about the trip which gave me a confidence that this will go very well.
The same thing happened even more than what i thought..
Mr.Vasudevan sir organized this whole trip so well that we wont be able to forget this wonderful experience.
He was all along with us in the whole trip even though physically not present..
My mom and dad were very happy and felt relaxed.
We visited not only 40 chola nadu divya desams but also several other important ancient temples on our trip.
We started at TRICHY on 24-03-2023 and we proceeded to kumbakonam, chidambaram and seerkazhi. It was a 5 days yatra.
The one thing which i liked the most is that even before our program started Mr.Vasudevan sir asked us whether we want to see any other temple of our interest pertaining to that area.
I would highly recommend others to choose 108divyadesam.com because
1. Good accommodation provided on all days
2. Assisted well from start to end of our yatra
3. We had a sufficient time throughout the trip
4. Driver was polite and comfortable to us
5. They provide us a lot of information through PDF's regarding our trip so that we will be aware of it .
On the whole we had an unforgettable experience in this divine yatra...A heartfelt thanks to 108divyadesam.com and Mr.Vasudevan sir...

Om Namo Narayanaya.
Om Namo Narayanaya.
Our journey to Malainadu Divya desam has been blissful and memorable Yatra with the grace of Sriman Narayana.
While i was browsing to search for divya desam tour operators it was our fortune to get the contact of Vasudevanji. With the first call he guided us right from planning the trip, stay ,food and the travel itenary.
He customised according to our plans and it was such a comfortable, optimum utility of the time which made us visit 22 temples including 11 divya desams. Guruvayur we had 3 darshans one being Nirmalaya darshan of sri guruvayurappan.
Selection of hotels for stay was superb . Worth for the price and neatly maintained. Driver Mr.Suresh was very professional and maintained safe driving . Hard to find such a polite and sincere driver now a days.
Vasudevanji was fully in contact with the driver as well as with the group which made us felt that he was physically travelling with us .
We will be happy and blessed to continue our balance divya desam trips under the guidance of Vadudevanji. . Awaiting to take up the jouney very soon.
We wish and pray that the dedicated noble act should flourish for many more years to come which will help many vaishnavaites all over the world to complete their divya desam yatra.

Mrs.Mythili Kannan, Hyderabad. |
I am Mythili Kannan from Hyderabad.
I have visited all 106 Divyadesams with people who conduct Divyadesams tour .But we were in a hurry in visiting these Divyadesams and they hurry us to come to the van as early as possible.ln that tour we could just make attendance mark but could not visit all the sannathis in that temple and they just could not guide us what are the significance and importantance in each temple.
So we have planned to visit the Divyadesams alone with the help of Sri Vasudevan ji who was found by my son in the google.
The trip was soooooo excellent and we spent nearly 2 to 21-2 hours in each temple.
We have visited 18 Pandiyanadu Divyadesams and two malai nadu Divyadesams in Tamil Nadu border namely Thirupathisaram and thiruvattaru .
We started our journey from Tirunelveli and we covered nava Tirupati on the same day. He booked a/c rooms in 3 star hotel and a/c car for our journey.
We are more than 72+ years of age and the driver was like our family member and he helped us a lot. ln 4 days we covered 20 Divyadesams.First day nava Tirupati and the other three days daily 4 temples 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening and we spent much time in seeing the whole temple.
We went to Bhavishyadar temple of Nammalwar and SriRamanujar which we wanted to visit during our pilgrimage.
Daily Mr.Vasudevan phoned up after we return to our room and tell what are tomorrow's plan and he will send a note of the temples that we are going to visit.
The trip was excellent though we senior most citizens that too ladies went alone.
He charges very very nominal fare that we could have spent more when we go alone.
I need about 10 pages to write about our experience and our happiness in this trip.I wish God to bless Vasudevan sir and his family health wealth together with happiness.

We are happy to.post this message for the benefit of all those planning to undertake Divyadesam trips in South India. This is solely based on our 3 trips we undertook through Mr.Vasudevan.
First one was in 2015. Pandiya Nadu Divya Desams. Second one is Malai Nadu Divya Desams in 2019 and Third one just concluded a week ago. Cholanadu and Nadunadu Divya Desams.
We just couldnt stop ourselves from putting on paper what we genuinely feel.
From the first trip itself we were very satisfied by the professional approach of Mr Vasudevan and the importance he gives to every minute detail.
Firstly everything is clear and transparent. Another great aspect is his commitment that we dont miss even a single DD temple, come what may.
He never hurries things and leaves it to the pace of the customer.
Once we decide the tour we are likely to undertake after seeing his website which is pretty exhaustive and talking to him personally, he sends us an itinerary regarding the pickup and drop points, day to day itinerary.
He accommodates a few other temples which are in that area according to the time available and according to our preferences. He customizes the trip according to the Bhaktas .
Decent hotels are booked for accommodation. His fleet of drivers are all very patient and courteous, having good knowledge of the places.
The hallmark of Mr Vasudevan is that we can feel his presence in the entire trip as he is in touch with us throughout and follows the driver after completion of each and every darshan and gives his next instruction according to the time available.
This is mainly to manage time and if necessary he will change the temple order accordingly as he knows about each temple timings availability of temple bhatar etc.
Of course we all should have Bhagavan anugraham to have darshan of all Divya Desams peacefully.
Mr. Vasudevan fulfils our mission . From our side we have to extend total cooperation and keep up the time schedule as per itinerary as far as possible.
He is a nice gentleman who is always willing to go to any length to make our visits pleasant, successful and help us in completing Divyadesam visits.

This is our 4 th trip with Mr Vasudevan, this time a custom built trip for two of us, covering Nava Thirupathi, Thirutharankudi, NanguNeri, and two Divyadesams ,Thiruthangal and Thirippulani.
In addition we covered lot of other Anbhimama Sthalams and temples with great architecture, our passion.
In addition we wanted to cover Rameswaram, Dhanushkoti, drive on Pamban.
He made it all possible. He is ever so accommodative, comes out with New ideas to suit the travels. He is full of surprises and you will always
benefit from his yatras, their drivers know the temple timings thoroughly and Vasudevan remotely manages the tour.
It had always been a pleasure traveling through 108 Divyadesams.Com.
I would strongly recommend anyone looking through this site. Drivers know the rest rooms along the way to make tourists life easy.

We greatly appreciate his services and professionalism, He made a perfect tour plan for us with wonderful hotels.
The service support and guidance was Absolutely fantastic. We always refer our families and friends too.

I have been longing to visit Malai Naattu Divyadesams for quite some time and was looking for a trust worthy experienced tour operator who can organize a customized travel plan for our family.
I browsed the website of Mr.Vasudevan Padbhanabhan and contacted him for my travel plan.
Though I was little hesitant to book my tour through him, I am very happy to share that I found in him the perfect person for my Divyadesam Visit during 24th Feb to 26th Feb 2023 for four days yathra.
Day wise travel plan and the brief sthala puranam of the temples to be visited were sent the previous day of the journey.
Mr.Vasudevan used to be in touch with us telephonically every now and then.
We were accommodated in very good hotels for our stay.
The driver is well behaved and courteous.
The planning and the execution is perfect as we visited all the 13 divya desam temples and 10 other very important temples as per the plan, of course the rider is we should co-operate for the plan to succeed by being punctual.
I am planning to hire his services for my future pilgrimage.

Mr.K.Srinivasan, Chennai, Tamilnadu |
We had the malinadu divyadesam tour from 27th Feb 2023 to 2nd March.The coordination from Mr.Vasudevan was quite excellent.
From the day of our enquiry , he was helpful not only organizing the tour successfully but also in giving tips for organizing our tour from chennai to tour pick up point and back from drop off point to Chennai.
His day today coordination was the best as he rightly guided us with alternate route in case there was some issue in the already planned route well in advance.
With his valuable inputs we could complete the tour program without missing even a single temple thus completing not only 13 Divya desam temples but also 17 other temples.
Spl mention to be made about the hotel arrangements in the right place with very gud hospitality. The assigned driver was very cordial and was fully conversant with the route.
This also saved a lot of our time and helped in completing the Tour without missing even a single temple.
Thanks a lot to Mr.Vasudevan for making the tour a memorable one

This was our second Divya Desam yatra through Shri.Vasudevan, after our great experience with him in our first yatra of Malainadu Divya Desam in December'22.
Within a short period of one month and with great expectations, we undertook the second yatra of Chola Nadu Divya Desam for five days from 23.01.23 to 27.01.23.
We were happy to find the same level of involvement and dedication in each and every yatra he commits, beyond our expectations.
With his support, we could cover eleven temples in addition to forty Divya Desam temples within a short period of five days.
Having darshan of Perumal in thirteen temples at Thirunangoor in half-a day was really a big challenge.
Without good co-ordination of Shri.Vasudevan with the driver and the dedicated guide, this could not have been possible.
Hats off to Vasudevan sir..I would like to mention one more incident to depict his dedication in fulfilling his commitment.
We did not have darshan of Perumal at Thirukkoodalur on our first visit, as the temple was closed. But without minding the time and distance, he arranged for our second visit to the same temple on next day though the temple is situated quite far from our place of stay.
We convey our sincere thanks to him for his great services.
We would recommend readers of this review to take up Divya Desam yatras through Shri.Vasudevan to enjoy similar experience..

Our first experience with Mr.Vadudevan for Pandiya nadu was so much so comfortable that we have decided to make Kerala Divya Desam tour within a short time.
With Mr. Vasudevan,it has become so easy to visit Divya desams.
He makes perfect tour plan.
We visited 13 Kerala Divya desams along with Abhimana sthalams, a five day trip during the first week of November 2022.
As usual the arrangements were excellent. Very peacefully we had darshan in all temples.
My husband suddenly fell sick during the trip. I am very thankful to Mr. Vasudevan for his support and care that time.The driver was so helpful and took very good care of my husband without which we wouldn't have completed our trip.
I would strongly recommend to go with Mr. Vasudevan if anyone is planning for Divya Desam tour. Safe and comfortable.

I got the contact of Shri.Vasudevan through the website 108 Divyadesam.Com when I was browsing for a good tour operator for our Malainadu Divyadesam yatra.
I received instantaneous response from Shri.Vasudevan on my contact and he sent the relevant links to have clear understanding about the yatra before booking for the same.
After booking for the yatra, he sent PDF documents containing full information about all the thirteen Divyadesam temples in Malainadu ( 2 in Tamilnadu and 11 in Kerala) which helped us to have thorough knowledge about the Divyadesam temples and also the significance of undertaking our yatra.
Our yatra was for four days and three nights from 05.12.22 to 08.12.22. We started our yatra from Nagercoil of Tamilnadu and travelled through Thiruvananthapuram, Kottayam, Cochin and Trissur districts of Kerala to complete 13 Malainadu Divya Desam temples.
The arrangements made by Shri.Vasudevan for travel and accommodation were very well planned and excellent.
He was available at any time over phone through out our yatra. In fact he had virtually travelled with us on all the four days.
The visit of five Divyadesam temples to have early morning darshan on the second day of our yatra was so divine and very well planned.
Our special thanks to Shri.Vasudevan. Apart from 13 Divyadesam temples, he also covered other Abhimana kshetrams/ holy places like Guruvayoor, Sri Adi Sankara Janma Bhoomi and the holy place where Adi Sankara recited 'Kanakadara stotram' ( which was an ultimate experience ) etc..
As we had some free time in Guruvayoor, we were taken to Anakotta, where 42 elephants were being maintained by Guruvayoor Devaswom.That was amazing.
To conclude, I being a Group 'A' Central Government officer and my husband, a retired officer of a Central Autonomous Body had undertaken several tours. But this hassle free yatra with Shri Vasudevan was really wonderful and we are looking forward for another Divya Desam yatra with him soon.

Our third trip through Mr. Vasudevan , we visited Malainadu divyadesams .
Time and again I would mention that it's not easy to find the right trip organiser to realise our journey.
We've been lucky enough to find the right person. As always a wonderful trip , blessed darshan at every single temple. Faith on Bhagavan has guided us to the right people and hence our journey has been a success.
I would like to quote this verse from Bhagavat Gita chapter 7 verse 21.
yo yo yāṁ yāṁ tanuṁ bhaktaḥ śhraddhayārchitum ichchhati
tasya tasyāchalāṁ śhraddhāṁ tām eva vidadhāmyaham.
Meaning
Whatever celestial form a devotee seeks to worship with faith, I steady the faith of such a devotee in that form.
This quote is very apt to our divyadesam journey through Vasudevan sir since it is not only bagavan Vishnu's divya stalams we visit. We have visited much more divine temples through which bagavan has blessed us .
Thank you once again sir.

Dear sir
With the blessings of Almighty, we had the pleasure of visiting the 13 malainadu divyadesam temple all temples are unique and beautiful.
Thanks to Mr Vasudevan Padmanabhan and his wonderful team the trip was smooth and eventful. In all we were blessed to visit other 20 temples also.
The hotels were well located and clean. It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. We have only the Pandyanadu divyadesam to visit.
We are indebted to Mr Vasudevan Padmanabam Sir for all our Holly trips.
All those who want to visit divyadesams should contact him and visit his elaborate website.
Thanks once again Sir

From my initial google search I came upon 108Divyadesam.Com website.
I contacted Vasudevanji and from that first conversation, I felt a sense of trust and willingness to accommodate and customize trips according to our needs.
Vasudevanji not only explained all our options in detail like food,places to stay, but also what to avoid, and how to optimize our budget. He was very prompt to answer all communication.
Our Trip to Kerala Divyadesams, Kalady, Guruvayoor and Kanyakumari:
I travelled with my daughter. This was our first trip to Kerala. Our main interest was to visit a lot of ancient and beautiful temples.
We started at and returned to Trivananthapuram. Vasudevanji plotted the most elegant road trip, traversing from Trivandrum to Cochin, back down to Nagercoil, Kanyakumari and back to Trivandrum.
The daily schedule was planned the night before, and Vasudevanji was available throughout the day to check on our progress and make any changes and add temples of interest along the way, time permitting.
Everyday the trip was pleasant, with a knowledgeable and safe driver and we covered all the temples on the schedule.
We never felt rushed, and had very peaceful darshan in all the temples. Kerala temples are beautiful, and have a very unique architecture.
We were able to do dharma darshan both at Guruvayoor and Anantha Padmanabhaswamy temple.
Starting at Pazhavangadi Ganapathy temple we prayed for a pleasant and safe trip and were able to complete all 38 temples with the blessings of bhagavathy amman,thayar and perumal of all the kshetras we visited.
Stepping into Kalady, the birthplace of Adi Shankara, brought tears to our eyes and we realized how fortunate we were. Many thanks to Vasudevanji and the driver.
We look forward to booking another yatra soon. We recommend this yatra service to anyone who is thinking of Divyadesams and ancient temples.

Yet another journey down the spiritual path with 108Divyadesam.Com.
This time we travelled to Thondainadu. As always comfortable, safe, patience, punctual....I would go on with more adjectives to describe the journey.
Every journey through 108Divyadesam.Com is memorable.
I remember my mum saying it's such a tedious task to find the right person and the right group to start the Divyadesam journey. For us it's been really easy .
Big round of applause to Mr Vasudevan sir and our guide and driver throughout the Thondainadu journey.
Thank you once again sir for helping us realize our journey

*Plesant divinely best experience*
Once we start thinking (Sankalpam) of divine/spritual path, Guru/Bhagawan leads us to the right direction to experience the divine/spritual journey and enable successfully completing.
We started our 106 Dhivya Kshetrams and many abimana Kshetrams couple of years ago . We started this divine trip by contacting Vasudevan of 108Divyadesam.Com
Vasudevan helped us to complete Tamil Nadu, Vada Nadu and Nadu Nadu .
Rating for this is above 5 Stars ***** as we are fully convinced that Vasudevan is the person for fulfilling our sankalpam.
We completed rest of the Dhivya Desam and now we are back to Canada . We started thinking of doing it again Thanks to Vasudevan for all the help.
One feedback : if possible Vasudevan to find a method to help devotees visiting Dhivadesams in North

Om Namo Bhagavathe Vasudevaya
Myself (Ramesh) and family were planning to visit the Malainadu Divyadesams for quite some time and did not materialize since 2018.
One day i received a call from my Guru (colleague, Retd) that he wanted to visit a temple at Kadampuzha (Bhagavati Amman) to perform a ritual for his daughter. He said pls check with the tour operator whether he can accommodate this temple along with the Divyadesams.
I spoke to Shri.Vasudevan sir, and he checked with the location and timing of the temple and said if you get up early in the morning, we can accommodate this temple in our itinerary. So, this
is the way our Malainadu Divyadesams tour talk began with Vasudevan sir.
6 of them travelled by train and 4 by bus. We informed Vasu sir, and he was kind enough to oblige and send the driver to pick us up from both the station and bus stand and arranged for a refreshment in a nearby hotel.
The itinerary was sent well in advance, and he said the drive is new. Our Sarathy was skilled, which we could find in his driving. He said he was using Google Map
for the first time in his life, and he blindly followed the route map sent by Vasuji and if there was any doubt, he would enquire, as I was sitting alongside in the front. I used to sit in the front with the route map, whenever we travelled in an unknown area and guided our sarathy at times.
We found that our sarathy was always ready whenever we returned after visiting any temple. I saw his phone with the next destination map ready to proceed. This was really surprising from an organizer, who was very meticulous in his job. I used to update the status then and there to
Vasuji via whatasapp.
Along with the 13 Divyadesams, he included some of the notable worthy places to visit like Kalady (Birthplace of Shri Adi Sanakaracharya) and Swarnath Mana (Birth place of Kanagadara Sthothram).
After visiting the temples, Ramesh is happy to inform that he had completed the tally of 103 Divyadesams against 106. The old lady (75) visited the 13 Divyadesams for the fourth time. (106/106)
My friend (Gunasekaran) for the second time. (106/106)
All others have visited the Divyadesams including myself for the first time.
We were worried about the food in Kerala, but to our surprise, there were no issues regarding food, and all were happy to get up early (spiritually ideal) which provided immense satisfaction
to all of us.
Things to commend regarding this tour:
● Well planned and coordinated.
● Providing Good accommodation.
● Professional Friendly.
Looking forward to more tours via 108Divyadesam.Com
P.s. Thing to commend is, he said while discussing with Vasuji, 99% of his customers have not seen him in person. We never felt so, we could feel his presence with us throughout the tour.
Siva (Driver) and Vasudevan (Coordinator) what else do you need?

After visiting a number of sites ,speaking to many tour operators I finally found 108Divyadesam.Com .
What impressed me was the detailed information on the site about each location and the insight about each temple.
Moreover the customisation mentioned interested me. This happened pre covid and then the hibernation for 2 long years.
Once Covid settled I didn't want to wait any longer. Hadn't met Mr.Vasudevan, neither did I have any review from a known source about their services. Faith and trust in God made me take the plunge and I booked for our visit to cholanadu divyadesam.
My friend and myself decided and booked to start our journey.It was customised and we completed a part of the cholanadu temples in 3 1/2 days along with other important temples .
Our experience has been so overwhelming.
Even before we started our journey the detailed information provided about each temple , a day to day itinerary , co-ordination with driver , giving us important information about some of the temples even before we reach there .
Most of all constantly keeping track of our progress and comfort. The stay was comfortable too. The most important part of any tour is the driver. I should mention our driver was always cheerful and helped us throughout the journey.
Haven't come across a tour operator who is so precise ,humble and so professional . It was a very comfortable experience.
With the grace of Lord Narayana we are extremely happy that we have found 108Divyadesam.Com to help us start our divyadesam journey.
I'm sure we'll be able to complete the temple visits in south by end of next year with 108Divyadesam.Com and with the grace of lord Narayana.
I would strongly recommend 108Divyadesam.Com to everyone who wants to start their divyadesam journey

Kumbhakonum Divya Desam trip from 14th Sept to 19th Sept, 2022.
The Kumbakonam Divyadesam trip was wonderful and divine. The Customized trip was arranged by Mr.Vasudevan.
Our group was 4 ladies, all seniors, 75+ to 80+.
We had told Vasudevan that we have to do the whole trip at a slow pace, walking, climbing up and down is slow. We took 6 days to complete the trip.
Mr. Vasaudevan arranged everything according to our needs, Hotel accommodations, restaurants in between for food , everything was taken care of very well by Mr. Vasudevan. He took extra care to make us as comfortable as possible throughout the tour. Our Driver, was an extremely good person. He knows each and every place so well, an experienced person, we had no worries about our transport. He took very good care of all of us, 4 ladies, seniors!!
We are very happy and proud that we could do this kind of a tour so successfully!! All this was possible because of Mr. Vasaudevan, He was in contact with us and the driver all the time.
Every day we were getting the program with all the notes and details about the Divya Desam we are going to visit.
We had a guide to do one part of the tour, near Sirkali. he was a very good guide. He was calling the Archakars and arranged for the Perumal Darshanam. In 2 sessions we completed 13 Divya Desam and Pancha Narasimhar.
We are very happy that we could do this kind of tour, Thanks to Mr. Vasudevan.

I am Jayanthy Rajan from Chennai Anna Nagar.
When we were planning for Divya Desa yatra, my cousin Mrs. Vaidehi Kannan from Canada referred Mr. Vasudevan.
We a group of three myself ,my husband and a friend of mine wanted to make Pandiya Nadu tour.
When we approached Mr. Vasudevan, we found him to be a very nice person, talked and listened patiently to us prior to our trip and organised the tour after knowing about our requirements.
The five day tour during first week of September 22 was well arranged by him.
He was very much caring and followed us virtually, throughout our trip and was available all the time to help incase of any trouble during our trip.
This was actually very relaxing to the mind.
He made necessary alterations in the tour whenever there was difficulty in completing the target of each day.
The driver was also well experienced and well behaved.
The car was neat and in good condition.
Accommodations were comfortable.
He provided brief texts about the places we were going to visit which actually enhanced our divine experience.
On the whole, Mr. Vasudevan took care of each and every aspect to give a very comfortable and pleasant trip to us.
I thank Mr. Vasudevan for making our trip a memorable one.
Looking forward to go with him for our rest of the Divya desams too.

Namaskam.
Thank you very much Vasudevan Sir for the wonderful Thondainadu divyadesam yatra form Aug 16 - Aug 18 2022.
First thing first is to appreciate the Vasudevan sir attitude of service to devotees than just a business or a tour
Regarding Plan : Yatra plan was awesome .We shared the multiple functions that were available on the same week and also reached out in short notice. Still he arranged the itinerary and sent out promptly.
Also during the plan we were always included to add our choice which is great.
Even day 2 we added Swami thirukachi nambigal and Periyazhwar birth place dynamically still it was accommodated .
Hotel and Driver :Hotels were very good .Mainly the hospitality was nice . Driver was good and knowledgeable to help is based on our request.
Hassle free : Yatra plan always taken care we have break and refreshment in the afternoon and the car was very good.
We were given dharshan time to the best of our satisfaction.
This made the yatra hassle free even for my mother who is 65 happy after the trip.
Overall we are very happy about the service and would wish to reach out to Vasudevan sir in future as well.
Thank you very much

Hello Mr. Vasudevan,
Please include the following testimonial to you website.
On our recent trip in May '22, we had a wonderful darshan of the 13 Malai Nadu temples in Kerala, very well organized by Mr. Vasudevan.
Together with the 13 temples, we also covered other notable temples and important places like Kalady and Swarnath Mana, associated with Sri Adi Shankaracharya, and Guruvayoor.
Mr. Vasudevan provided information for each of the temples prior to the visit so it made it easy to understand the significance and sthala purana of the temples. Unlike Tamil Nadu, Kerala temple priests don't indulge in saying sthala puranas. So, these notes were valuable.
We flew into Trivandrum and flew out of Cochin. The road trip was very comfortable and scenic through Kerala's back roads and lush vegetation. Our driver was knowledgeable of the routes and a very careful driver.
We also took a few side trips to Kumarakom, Thekkady, Allepy, Kanyakumari, and some notable beaches. These trips were good. However, we would advise prior planning and making reservations online to serve you better.
This is our third Divyadesam visit with Mr. Vasudevan.
We highly recommend 108divyadesam.com for a visit to the temples.

"I feel it is my previlage to write a reviewon our 42 divyadesama yatra with Mr Vasudevan.
Getting thought of pilgrimage is the blessing of god. We came to know about divyadesams from our grandparents. We gathered information and routeplans and visited the first part of Kanchi and Chennai.17 desams. The second part cholanadu desams we còuld not go on our own because many placres are not reachable for us. Contacted many tour oprators but failed.
One day I found 108 divyadesam .com and contacted them. Mr Vasudevan explained everything in detail. We are glad to join 42 divya desam trip for 5 days with him.
He is very nice and caring all through and at every stage enquired about the feed back. Though he is not physically with us in yatra we felt that he is coming with us.
He monitored every step.
We are a group of 6 members me,Aruna,Pvr murthy,vani,jhansi ,madhavi.
We are planning for pandyanadu and malainadu desams very soon.
It is our pleasure to recomen Mr. Vasudevan for aspiring tourists to make use of his guidance and help to get the blessings of ALMIGHTY.

"We had a memorable darshan of the 13 dhivyadesams in Kerala organised by Mr. Vasudevan.
He not only covered the dhivyadesams, but also covered the abhimanasthalams and historically important places like the divine house where Shri Adi Shankaracharya recited the kananadara stotram leading to the shower of the golden gooseberries.
It was more than what we expected and imagined for.
The darshans were arranged in the spiritually ideal early morning hours, providing immense satisfaction.
The prior information about each of the temples provided by Mr.Vasudevan made us have a good understanding of the sthala puranam and understand the context of the different divine postures of the Lord.
The journey was quiet comfortable as Mr. Vasudevan had arranged a good car and the driver was very polite and drove very safely including in the narrow and busy national highways of Kerala.
We are looking forward to making more such Dhivya Desam trips in the near future organised by Mr. Vasudevan.

" Right from my first conversation with him regarding the Malainadu Divyadesham tour I was confident he would excecute his plans..
Mr Vasudevan went far and beyond those expectations.Timing, driver choice, hotels, routes and not last but least the importance of the Kshetrams.
In todays world where people are more interested in just doling out promises Mr Vasudevan walked the talk.
I travelled alone and he made sure I was virtually followed every step of the way.
I would recommend him blindly and go by his advice without batting an eyelid.
Personally it was a spiritually satisfying trip..
Thank you Mr Vasudevan, I'm grateful to you for making my journey pleasant and safe as well.

"I must say I was delighted with the service you provided - it was just what I wanted. Once again, many thanks for making such a trip possible. The Organisation, the effectiveness, the planning and on top the driver were just perfect.
We felt so comfortable although being so far from home. Everything worked out in time and perfectly; the driver never had to look for either a hotel or any other sight seeing place.
We felt very safe. We will definitely recommend your travel agency as well as our driver to our friends who are also planning trips to Divyadesams .

"I would like to share our wonderful experience in visiting the 22 temple if Thondainadu.
Mr Vasudevan Padmanban had meticulously organised the tour all the temples visited were magnificient and unique.
The dharshan was also Hassel free our tour operator Mr Anbarasu guide us very well and took us at the right time to the right temple.
We are indeed grateful to Mr Vasudevan Padmanabhan for helping us get God blessings and looking forward to visiting Malainadu and Pandiyanadu temples very eagerly.
Now for our experience of Ahobilam pilgrimage again meticulously organised by Mr. Vasudevan Padmanabhan.
This temple is in the mountains we can either trek or take a doli. There are 9 Narasimhar temple and each one of them beautiful in its own manner. The akashganga falls renders this holy place more beautiful.
The pristine beauty and holy Narasimhar deities bewilders us beyond words. A place really worth visiting thanks Mr Vasudevan Padmanabhan we could worship without any glitches also our tour operator did a wonderful job accompanying us. Srisailam one of the jyothirlingas is a beautiful place and the dam and its scenic beauty are spellbinding.

After a call with Vasudevan he agreed to organise our trip to Kumbhakonam, Tamil Nadu (Navagraha Temple Yatra). The purpose of our trip was to heal us, of all our mental anxieties and to bring us perpetual bliss hence Vasudevan guided us and planned accordingly.
The journey began on the 23rd of January 2022. It was definitely an excursion which we would never forget. The morning was mildly warm and as we sat in the train Me, my wife and mother-in-law were looking forward to our spiritual experience. We arrived in the late afternoon to our hotel in Trichy, it was a spotless and well-furnished place.
24th January 2022(Morning session) - We woke up at 6.00am the next day fresh and eager to visit our first temple, that was “Thirumangalakkudi temple“. The significance of this temple was where Navagrahas themselves got rid of their doshas and whereby the couples would be blessed by complete marital prosperity.
The second temple we visited was “Suriyanar koil” (sun god temple), and right after that “kanjanur” temple. (Venus/Shukra bhagvan).
There after we went to “Vaitheeswaran koil” temple governed by Mars. Here it was said that by taking a holy bath in the temple tank would cure all types of diseases. Vasudevan had pre-arranged this activity and for puja services, all to be done on behalf of me, the water was cold and refreshing and taking a bath had certainly convinced me that my anxieties would stay afar and would keep me in spiritual bliss. He had structured the itinerary so smoothly that nothing could go wrong. Thereafter we took a lunch break and rested in the hotel for some time. (Evening session)
At 4pm we left for “Thirucherai Saranathar” temple, this was one of the Divyadesham temples which Vasudevan included on our request. There after we visited “Thirunageswaram” temple (Rahu bhagvan temple- North node of the moon)
25th January 2022(Morning session) -
We left at 5.30am for “Thirunallar” temple (Shani Bhagvan) and afterwards “Keelaperumpallam” temple (Ketu Bhagvan) south node of moon. Finally, “Thiruvenkadu” temple (Bhudha Bhagvan- Mercury). We then stopped off for lunch break and took rest at the hotel.
(Evening session)
As late afternoon approached, we visited “Thiruvidaimarudur Mahalinga Swami” temple. This was a very large temple and had many sanctums within it. We were lucky to visit such a place and at the right time since we could get the heavenly experience of the evening aarti of Lord Shiva. The ambience and mood of the dwelling was so rejuvenating, it had filled us with positive energy.
The next temple on our trip was “Thirubuvanam Sarabeswarar” temple, this temple removes all evil effects and frees us from all Enemity.
The next stop on our journey was the “Chakrapani” temple. The significance of this temple is for those who are affected by sade-sati Ashtama Shani Rahu Ketu Dosh would be relieved of all their doshas by visiting this temple and praying to the Lord.
There after we visited “Adi Kumbeswarar” temple. In this temple the goddess “Mangalambihai” blesses the devotees of good marital prosperity.
These 3 temples were incorporated by Vasudevan for us specially since their size and demeaner were so grand, accompanied by our guides expert description and knowledge of them they made our impression and experience of the temples even more spectacular. We could spend enough time in the temple and did not have to rush.
26th January 2022(Morning Session) -
Our first temple visit was to “Alangudi temple” (Guru bhagvan temple-Jupiter) then we visited “Thirupamburam” (Rahu Ketu Temple). Then we were off to “Thiru Sirupuliyur DIvyadesham temple”Finally, the last visit in the morning was to “Thila tharpanapuri” temple (Lord Ganpati with human face)
(Evening ession)
We checked out from our hotel in Trichy and continued our journey.
The first halt for our evening session was to “Kabisthalam Divyadesham” temple (Gajendra moksha stalam) This temple is famously known for the story about the Lord Narayana liberating the elephant Gajendra from the clutches of the crocodile.
The next temple was “Thingalur kailasanathar” temple (Moon god temple). And finally, to “Sri Brahma Sira Kandeeswarar” temple.
27th January 2022(Morning session) -
We started at 5.30am to take the darshan of “Viswaroopam seva” at “Gunaseelam Venkatacgalapathy Perumal Temple. We were fortunate enough to take the very first darshan of the lord in the morning. Vasudevan had made careful arrangements to send his friend along with us so that the temple staff would perform a special puja that involved taking holy water to drink and water that would be splashed our face. He also explained the past time for the lord.
After visiting the temples and understanding their significance and pastimes of each temple the experience had left us in awe and inspiration, the positivity that had been bestowed upon us would permanently imbue us with blissful memories.
We specially thank Mr Vasudevan for carefully crafting a beautiful idyllic trip.

"We have an obsession for visiting all the 106 divyadesams. We decided to visit the 34 DDs in and around Kumbakonam. We were searching for a good tour operator.
We came across 108divyadesam.com. With some uncertainty of the quality of the tour operator, we called the given phone number.
One Mr.Vasudevan Padmanabhan answered and we had a discussion. We felt comfortable and decided to take up the tour.
Once we booked our tickets from Chennai to Kumbakonam (and back), we called Mr.Vasudevan and told him we desire to have the tour between 14th and 17th December of 2021.
Immediately Mr.Vasudevan chartered our itinerary and furnished the details. We were picked up at the Kumbakonam Railway Station at early morning of 14th December. We were taken to Hotel which was an excellent stay. After breakfast, we started the tour. The driver was an excellent choice who was with us all 4 days and took us to all the 34 Divyadesams and 10 more temples too.
On day 1 we completed 5 DDs in the morning, came back to the room and after taking a nice rest continued and covered 3 more DDs in the evening. For day 2 Mr.Vasudevan requested us to start as early as 6.00 am to go and cover about 19 DDs and 3 more other famous temples. We were glad and started exactly at 6.00 am.
At Sirkali, a guide joined us and did an extraordinary job. He has good liaison at all the temples around Sirkali and in the morning session we covered 14 temples in quick succession. The guide coordinated with all the priests of these temples and ensured we covered all by 1.00 pm sharp. After lunch, we started our darshan at Vaitheeswarankoil and proceeded to cover 5 more DDs along with Sirkali Sattainathar temple and wonderful Vaanamutti Perumal temple, Kozhikuthi and proceeded to Le Garden Kumbakonam.
On day 3 we proceeded to Nagapattinam and covered 4 DDs in the morning session, returned to Kumbakonam by lunch and after taking some rest proceeded to cover 4 more DDs in Kumbakonam.
Since we had already covered 31 DDs in the first 3 days, on day 4 Mr.Vasudevan nicely arranged us some additional extraordinary temples viz., Dharasuram (UNESCO temple) and Gangaikonda Chozhapuram (several film songs shot at this temple - my favourite being "Oh Vasantha Raja" from Balumahendra film "Neengal Kettavai"). We checked out of the hotel at about 8.00 am and went to these two temples in the morning and returned to Kumbakonam to cover the remaining 3 DDs and dropped us at the Kumbakonam Railway Station.
In all we had covered 34 Divyadesams around Kumbakonam, Mayavaram, Sirkali and Nagapattinam along side 9 more ancient temples.
Mr.Vasudevan was excellent in arranging. Even though he was not travelling with us, we felt as if he was by our side since he was constantly following us (as if by GPS) and wherever some extra time was available he was quick to add some heritage temples and advised driver to take us there who was very glad to do so.
Being a banker I had the privilege of Leave Travel Concession and would have undertaken at least 25 tours during my service. But, this one supercedes all and by far the best.
Thank you Vasu dear and looking forward to more tours with you.

"Hare Krishna,
I truly second every ones accolades about Mr.Vasudevan sir.
Mere words are not sufficient to appreciate his profound expertise, diligent planning, excellent commitment and constant guidance in organising divine Divya Desams yatra. We completed Cholanadu and pandiyanadu divya desams yatra with their services.
In a group of 10 (all ladies of different age groups) and a 6 yr old, everything was taken care so exceptionally, we could not have wished for a better yatra.
All aspects were extremely well organised right from professional drivers who made sure we don't miss any temples due to time constraints, comfortable hotels stay & very convinient vehicles with no extra charges.
Most of all, the constant follow up to customise yatra as per our needs and willingness to accomodate anything we request though last minute is much appreciated.
I am yet to post an elaborate review on the website but it is taking forever to write one on the unmatchable services offered by Mr.Vadudevan sir.
Have seen most of the yatra organisers in the name of divinity making fortune but so far Mr.Vasudevan sir is the first person i have met by Krishna's mercy who is extremely passionate to serve the devotees to have blissful yatra and have lords darshan in such a pleasant and peaceful manner.
Really grateful to you sir. Many Many thanks again. Looking forward for our next Divya desams yatra with your services once the situation eases.

" We had the pleasure of engaging Mr Vasudevan of 108Divyadesam.com for the third time in the last 2 years, we did a customized tour of Cholanadu Divyadesams, earlier we had done Pandyanadu and Malainadu Divyadesams through him.
Vasudevan had always been very accommodating, tailors the tour to one's capabilities and endurance, keeping in mind being seniors. In addition to agenda he is always kind enough to include other Abhimana sthalams and other important temples of great interests. In our recent trip he included Thirumandagudi, birth place of Thondaradipodi alwar Janma sthalam and the only place where Ranganatha in standing posture.
His tours are never boring and is always full of surprises. Moreover the drivers provided are highly respectful, never flinch a bit for any extra requests made.
Vasudevan keeps a constant conversation with the driver on progress and welfare of the Bhaktas.
I recently recommended my friend from USA on a 18 day 95 Divyadesam trip that included 4 women,and they had high praises for Vasudevan.
I would highly recommend the tours for anyone, seniors,ladies travelling alone or for games from abroad. His Hotel choices had always been great.
We wish him success in his yours and projects.

" Devotional 108 Divyadesam trip. Srimathe ramanujaya namah:
Thanks to Perumal for giving us opportunity to have their darshan in various divyadesams.
I personally trying to visit Divyadesams since 2 years before, I am researching the internet and God's grace, I am able to coordinate Mr. Vasudevan, planned our trip on 1st week of December.
Our trip planned was from 06th December 2021 - 14th December 2021, for 9 days, After having discussion with Vasu sir, we planned to cover 64divyadesams Thondainaadu, Cholanaadu and Nandunadu
Planning was perfectly done by Mr. Vasu. we reached Chennai Egmore on 06th , it's good to see cab driver, keeps following up with me.
He took us to Hotel Arunaachalam, very nearby to Egmore station.
Check-in formalities are taken care by Vasu sir and Ambu. We got freshed and started our trip with Triplicane parthasaradhy perumal, Thiruneermalai, mahabalipuram sthala sayana perumal.
Thanks once again for Vasu ,Ambu coordinating throughout the trip and customization done. Also guiding us to have our lunch and dinner at nice hotels
Accommodation in kanchi is also Good, Hotel is small but facility and service is good.
Accommodation at Srirangam is very good and awesome.
Again successfully completed 14 divyadesams in kanchipuram with proper planning.
It's really awesome experience to have darshan of perumal and explaination of history of all perumal were being shared by Vasu day before, this helped a lot before visiting the temple.
Nice places around kumbakonam, maayavaram, serghzali.
We requested Vasu sir to include places to visit for my kids. While returning back from cuddalore on 14th day morning, arranged visit to crocodile park, My kids were excited and very happy.
I personally want to thank Vasu sir and appreciate for proper coordination .
I would like plan for balance divyadesam of pandiyanaadu and malainaadu in next 6 months.

"I got the number of Mr. Vasudevan Padmanaman from a friend and in short notice he organised the 40 chola nadu visit.
Very nice visit very well organised the driver was very cooperative and hotels very good and well located.
Sometimes we felt we are travelling too long for a temple but when the temple arrived and seeing it all our tiredness disappeared all of them extraordinary superb temples what architectute.
I can never forget this experience.
Very highly recommended to all those who wish to visit divya desams
I think Mr. Vasudevan Padmanam is the best person.
We hope to see other divya desams very soon after summer.
The attached photo was taken by a 7 year girl selling flowers telling she was taking our selfie this is Nathan kovil - Sri Jaganatha Perumal.

"Me and my childhood friends had a great opportunity to complete 95 of the 106 Divya Deshams Temple tours by Vasudevangaru! For total of 18 days-
we were supposed to see the Divya Desham tours.But Vasudevan added other temples of our choices and other Abhimana temples.
Although we choose hotels ahead, Vasudevan did make changes as and when feasible to accommodate our requests. All hotels were good with couple being excellent!!
The arrangements , timings made and his outstanding response and respectfulness was the main factor that enabled us to be so blessed with fantastic Darshans of all the deities.
The drivers were the best. Very very patient, professional!! Even though I personally knew very little Tamil, driver was great. He knew his temples and made all effort to bring us close to temples, so we did not have to walk far or stop for nature’s calls or get coconut water.
The added advantage of having a pretty spacious van. In all we ended up about 134 temples and ever Darshan was so divine !
With us going in end of February, crowds were less and at times it was us, Lord Vishnu, or Ammavaru and the priest. So serene, so beautiful surroundings, awesome architecture!
Thank you Vasudevangaru for arranging this memorable and blessed trip! It was perfect !!

" Namaskaram and RadheKrishna!
We (Kannan Gopalan and Vaidehi Kannan) live in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Our guru (Swami Gnanananda) blessed us to take spiritual tour (kshethram, theerthamendrutheduvom).
We don’t know where to start and searched in google and found Vasudevan 108 Dhivyadesam. Started our discussion with Vasudevan thru WhatsApp.
We believe our journey started, the moment we got connected with Vasudevan. With detail and passion, Vasudevan created a customized itinerary for us. Our plan required lot of coordination and Vasudevan’s planning/arrangements were perfect.
From Chennai went to Senganur to get the blessing of Sri Sri Krishna Premi Anna. We had great dharshan of Anna and with Anna’s padhukai we started our journey.
He had contacts with the temple to ensure we were in the kshetrams at the right time. Famous temples like Srirangam had large crowds and we managed the entry.
Selection of hotels for stay was very good as we need good rest before we start the next day.Sh. Vasudevan informed us at the end of the day plan for the next day. Perfect coordination.!!!
We visited 81 of the 82 temples in Tamil Nadu. Now looking back, an extraordinary task is never possible
without the help from Sh. Vasudevan. We are looking for Malai Nadu trip during this year.
We will connect with you Sh. Vasudevan and needless to say amazed with your professional friendly goal-oriented approach.
It can go on and on,and the summary:
We strongly believe, with our Swami and Anna’s krupai , we got our trip planned/booked by Vasudevan. During out Jan/Feb 2020 trip we ompleted all Tamil Nadu Dhivyadesam (except Sukran temple of Nava Tirupati).
Very spiritual and unforgettable trip. KodiNamaskarams to Vasudevan for all planning and arrangements. We strongly recommend Vasudevan’s 108 Dhivyadesam trips to anyone who is looking for Dhivyadesam Spiritual tour.
We are looking for our next trip to cover Dhivyadesam in Malai Nadu thru Vasudevan..

I had arranged my CholaNadu DivyaDesams (40 temples)darshan from January 23 to January 28, 2020 with “108 DivyaDesams tourism package” managed by Shri Vasudevan. During this visit, I was blessed to have darshan from 16 other temples too (some AbhimanaSthalas and some ShivaSthalas) and totally I had a wonderful darshan at 56 temples.
I would say that it was a wonderful experience and I loved each and every moment during those 6 days.
Vasu sir was so kind, humble and helpful throughout the trip. He made sure that the travel, food and accommodation was very comfortable for me.
He always updated me each and every detail of the trip in Whatsapp and SMS regularly. Moreover, he would also call and update the driver regularly regarding the direction/routes, temple timings and arrangement of a local guide (especially in Sirkazhi).
Without the guidance of him, it would be very difficult to reach some of the divyadesams in a stipulated period of time especially in the Nagapattinam district.
Overall, the itinerary provided by him for the 6 days was wonderful.
Vasu sir really deserves a whole hearted appreciation for his meticulous planning and management of the trips in a very skillful manner. I am waiting for my next vacation so that I can visit a few more DivyaDesams with “108 DivyaDesams tourism package” provided by Vasu sir.
I strongly recommend everybody to make use of this service in order to have a hassle free darshan

"Dear Vasudevan,
It had been a great pleasure choosing Divyadesamtours. Com visiting Malainattu Divyadesam package.
It was tailor made for us with two of us travelling in a comfortable car and the driver was extremely polite and a safe driver. He knew the Divyadesams very well and we were there at a right time.
The tour Organizer Mr Vasudevan was continuously monitoring the Driver and also us, in inquiring our welfare and comfort.
Hotels were extremely good. Being Margazhi month we had to start our trip from morning 5 am, that was a bit taxing but we got the money’s worth .
I would highly recommend Mr Vasudevan Divyadesamtours.com, and we are in sage hands.
There is great personal touch about it.

"Dear Vasudevan,
Thank you for the time taken for organising our cholanadu and nadunadu 42 Divyadesams temple yatra.
I wanted to mention that the yatra was very well organised. It was very comfortable throughout.
We got enough time in each and every temple and did not have to rush, which was the best part of the yatra. It was a completely blissful experience.
The driver and the guide were very helpful, and they made sure that the temple were open when we reach there so that we don’t miss any darshan.
I would like to receive more information about other Divyadesam temples, if any, you could provide.
Looking forward to visit other Divyadesam temple as well.
Thanks.

" Our Pilgrimage to Pandiyanadu, Thondainadu and Malainadu was simply excellent.
Our pilgrimage through Shri Vasudevan got initiated with Pandianadu Divya Desam pilgrimage.
We fortunately came across the poster of Shri.Vasudevan's website at one of the Kumbakonam Temples when we were on our Cholanadu Pilgrimage.
That was the beginning of our pilgrimage including Pandiyanadu, Thondainadu and Malainadu, which were overwhelmingly joyous. This has made a lasting impression on our minds.
Every step, including planning of itinerary, its implementation, constant communication, personal touch and above all providing the best of the vehicles and the well informed drivers who guided us through out the trips is worth appreciating. We would like to personally complement the patience and perfection of both the drivers.
They were well aware of the topography, very punctual, helpful and friendly.
Surely, we would recommend Shri. Vasudevan to our contacts in our community for Divya Desam Piligrimages.
Having been impressed by the description of our experience, a couple of them have already taken his contact details.
Thanks is a small word to express our gratitude to Shri Vasudevan. May God bless him for all his noble deeds.

The planning and execution were very good.
The detailed itinerary was sent in advance with full information. We have completed all thondainadu Divyadesam in 3 days and i
t was possible only because of effective and perfect planning by Shri Vasudevan.
Shri Vasudevan was in constant touch throughout the trip and the driver was monitoring the timely completion as per the schedule.
Overall, it was one our most memorable Divyadesam visit, thanks to Shri Vasudevan.

"Hare Krishna, Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya"
We completed our 40 chola nadu and 2 nadu nadu divyadesham temples with Mr. Vasudevan travels in Feb 2019.
1) The arrangement made by Mr. Vasudevan was excellent.
2) All the hotels where accomodation was booked were quite good and comfortable.
3) The car arrangement was also very nice. We travelled for about 6 days in order to complete our darshan to minimum 42 temples but we never found us tiresome on any occassion.
4) The car driver Mr. Chandra Mohan was also very co operative. On some occassions when the temples were closed in afternoon the driver took us for darshan in evening.
5) Every morning or either on earlier day Mr. Vasudevan used to sms me the temple darshan schedule for that particular day. This was very nice so that we could properly know which temples are we visiting that day.
6) Mr. Vasudevan had included many other non divya desham temples also because of which we could also visit various other temples like Lord Shiva.
7) Our yatra was very blissful due to nice arrangement of Mr.Vasudevan and we are very thankful to him.
We pray for his prosperity and success so that he can connect more and more persons to divyadesham dham of the Lord.

"Wonderful Experience - Malainadu Divyadesam Pilgrimage through 108Divyadesam.com" - Indeed it was a memorable experience.
The Malainadu Divyadesam Package for 4 Nights and 5 days was a leisure and extensive one.
We need not hurry in every temple. We can feel and experience the divinity refreshing the history of the
Divyadesam. The Nirmalya Darshan at Sri Ananta Padmanabha Swamy temple was a feather in the cap.
Several Abhimanasthala temples were visited. The timings were synchronized to have Dharsan of all the Deities w/o much waiting or anxiety.
It is a point that in Kerala most of the temples are open during early mornings and in the evenings.
We have travelled in Thondainadu , Cholanadu and Malainadu through Shri. Vasudevan’s guidance.
We will conduct the others also through him .
We thank him for his continuous monitoring and guidance in the episodes

"Hi sir,
I am extremely happy that we could cover all the divyadesams, abhimana kshetram & also Acharya & alwar kshetras..
When I was casually browsing on the net, I found your website and our touring under your able guidance started around two years ago in 2017. Since then I have traveled around four times.
I would like to highlight a few which I liked in the yatra conducted by you,
1 The day I contacted you, you sent me all the details required for the travel& number of days required to complete it.
2 when the program schedule was sent, we asked for many inclusion. Without any trace of displeasure at our frequent request, you accommodated all of them & also coordinated with them & madeus have darshan.
3 I liked the way the next days itinerary was sent to me the previous day & also the follow up with the driver & us at the end of the day.
4 The personal touch in all the travels is to be appreciated.
5 The team of drivers that you have are excellent. Like yatha guruh tatha sishyah, your driver's also show absolute perfection & professionalism.
6 Overall the trip that you organized was excellent. We had a pleasant stay & darshan. All my co travellers too endorse the same

"It is from my heart I give below my wonderful experience on Malai Nadu Divya Desam Dharshan arranged by Shri Vasudevanji of 108 Divyadesam.com.
First of all we 9 people all are senior citizens planned the visit of Malai Nadu and through one of my friends from California I got the contact details and started interacting with Mr.Vasudevanji right from July 31st 2019.
With his pleasing manners and honest approach he gave his itinerary for 4 days 3 nights package. Our journey started on 11th October 2019 (with one physically challenged person) and as committed by him, the guide Mr.Nagaraj and Driver (Our Parthasarathy) Mr.Suresh received us at 0530 hours and put us in a nearby AC Hotel for freshen up.
His interaction at each temple visit through phone and whatsapp messages on the temple history etc. to all the members eased the job of understanding the temple, Lord and Thayaar.
Their commitment, business ethics, reputation and trust is really wonderful. My whole group is totally impressed and satisfied the way in which he has very well arranged the trip.
We are all indebted to his dedicated and yeomen service. His full cooperation and sincere approach to our needs will ever be remembered by us for ever.
Long Live Vasudevanji to serve all the needy persons in need of Divya Desam Dharshans. Our whole hearted blessings to him for all the very best.
Thanks & Regards

"Respected Vasu sir,
We had a very satisfying and peaceful Malai Naadu Divyadesam Yatra.
Thanks to your seamless coordination in ensuring that the travel and transit arrangements make our Yatra very comfortable and enjoyable.
We had a peaceful darshan in all the temples.
The accommodation provided were very clean and comfortable and the courteous driver ensured that we reach the temples on time so as to avoid any last minute rush.
Your daily itinerary communication on whatsapp and follow up calls made things much easier for us to plan and start on time so that we don't miss any temples.
Information on temples that we visit was another value addition.
I will definitely recommend your services to my family and friends.
Looking forward for more such Yatras under your able coordination and guidance in future.
Thanks & Regards

" Hare Krishna, Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya,
We completed our 40 chola nadu and 2 nadu nadu divyadesham temples with Mr. Vasudevan travels in Feb 2019.
1) The arrangement made by Mr. Vasudevan was excellent.
2) All the hotels where accomodation was booked were quite good and comfortable.
3) The car arrangement was also very nice. We travelled for about 6 days in order to complete our darshan to minimum 42 temples but we never found us tiresome on any occassion.
4) The car driver Mr. Chandra Mohan was also very co operative. On some occassions when the temples were closed in afternoon the driver took us for darshan in evening.
5) Every morning or either on earlier day Mr. Vasudevan used to sms me the temple darshan schedule for that particular day. This was very nice so that we could properly know which temples are we visiting that day.
6) Mr. Vasudevan had included many other non divya desham temples also because of which we could also visit various other temples like Lord Shiva.
7) Our yatra was very blissful due to nice arrangement of Mr.Vasudevan and we are very thankful to him.
We pray for his prosperity and success so that he can connect more and more persons to divyadesham dham of the Lord.
Hare Krishna.

"We 4 senior citizens recently visited Thondainadu and Nadu nadu Divyadesams. Mr. Vasudevan had planned and conducted the yatra in a very professional way. Though we had planned the yatra inclusive of Kanchi Athi Varadhar Vaibhavam, he arranged yatra in a very comfortable and pleasant way. The 4 days trip that went very smoothly and the driver was very helpful, co operative and of very decent behavior.
Totally the trip was a very memorable one with divine dharshans.
We are immensely happy to appreciate Mr. Vasudevan and his team for all the arrangements and execution of the tour.
We thank Mr. Vasudevan and wish him best of luck in his future endeavors.

"Dear Sir, We had a very good pilgrimage of Thondainadu Divyadesam during July 2019.
The time was coinciding with Athi Varadar’s Darshan period also. The tour started with warm welcome and pick up from The efficient and courteous Driver. All along he was quite helpful in attending to our needs and explaining the Temple’s might.
Shri Vasudevan was coordinating all along our travel and solving any problems copping up. The accommodation arranged was good and managing us at Kanchipuram amidst the rush for Athivaradar Darshan was quite remarkable.
We could cover all the temples within the time frame with ease and had Athivaradar Darshan also . When we were not able to climb Sholinger they helped us to locate the Doli and guided us correctly.
Altogether the Trip was wonderful and I am sure the other Divya desam tours also we will conduct through Shri. Vasudevan. Long Live Vasudevan and his services.

" We had been to Pandiyanadu Divyadesam yatra which was arranged by Mr Vasudevan of Team 108DIVYADESAM.COM between August 16-18, 2017 (three days).
Meticulous itinerary prepared by Mr Vasudevan helped us to complete our yatra and we had very good dharsan in all the 18 templess.
Accommodations and transportation arranged by Mr. Vasudevan was nice and comfortable.
Here we should mention the service of chauffeur, who accompanied with us all the three days with his Etios.
It would be very difficult to cover all the 18 temple
in just 3days without the support and services..
Hats off to Mr Vasudevan

I want to sincerely thank you for the wonderful arrangements that you made during our Divya Desam trip to Kerala between Jan 28th to Feb 1st.

Hotel accommodation was excellent and the Driver Narayanan was very calm and kind and enthusiastic throughout the trip.

"Vasudevan, The trip to Malinadu Divya Desams was fantastic.
First off, let us state unequivocally that for me, this was the trip of a lifetime.
This has been in making for years. I was worried how to do this being someone does not know the local languages and cultures,
Vasudevan you were the one who assured me that I could do this Tour! Well, I did it and loved every moment of the trip, besides seeing every Divya Desam highlight stop along the way including unannounced and very interesting side trips to other temples and stops such as, The VarakalaJanardhana Temple, The swarnathu mana, Etc.
Nagaraju was outstanding, an excellent tour guide and Driver, I would recommend him highly.
Hotels were just perfect for a foreigner like me. Everything else went tremendously well.
Once again, I appreciate the way you took care of me at every step of the way.
I will always be grateful for your help in all of the planning!You are outstanding,
I will be passing on your contact info to anyone who asks. “till we meet again, have happy holidays and a great 2019!.

"During December / January 2018, we planned to visit 13 MALAI NADU DIVYADESAM
TEMPLES.
We contacted various tour operators and travel in Coimbatore / Trissur /
Nagercoil but could not finalize as we were uncomfortable with their response and plan.
During that time we could come across 108 DIVYADESAM website and contacted Mr.
VASUDEVAN over phone. The response was excellent, impressive and the way he
answered all our queries was admirable.
Initially we planned for 3 days tour for which he assured of all the 13 DIVYADESAM
Temples but visiting and darshan of other temples would be difficult. On the contrary for
the 4 days trip it was assured that in addition to the darshan of 13 divyadesm temples
but also various temples also would be made possible.
The excellent gesture of Mr VASUDEVAN is that the advance which he took just 10
days before and the balance he said was to clear after the completion of the tour
Programme
Our family friend Mr. Loganathan and his wife Kasturi joined us. So along with my wife
Maitreyi and Daughter Amrutavarshini the trip was planned and we booked our tickets
to Nagercoil and return from Kochi for 4 days and 3 nights Malinadu Divyadesm Tour.
Mr Vasudevan has made all the arrangements meticulously for Comfortable stay. The
driver cum guide Mr Nagarajan has excellent driving skill, flexible, polite, soft spoken,
and well versed with the details of the each and every temple and also about the
importance of each and every village we cross by.
Each and every day starts with his call as well as the details of the temples we visit as
well as the hotel where we would be staying.
Also he was very well in constant touch
with the driver about our whereabouts (admirable gesture to be appreciated).
The trip was executed providing sufficient time to have darshan in each and every
temple and also rest in between on every day.
The trip was enjoyable and we intend to visit other temples also but would prefer only
Mr Vasudevan from now on wards..
God bless him and his team with trouble free ling life for supporting many like us in the
years to come.

" I had the pleasure of engaging 108Divyadesam.com services for a custom made yatra in the month of August 2018.
In the past I had visited divyadesam temples , at my own pace, whenever i visited india. This required a lot of planning and researching on my own . Then I came across 108Divyadesam.com and decided to engage them for a custom-made yatra covering 23 Divya desam temples in Malai nadu and Pandya nadu. Couple of other places were included and pick up and drop off cities were different.
I had the pleasure of dealing with Mr Vasudevan ( Vasu) - from start to finish - who really planned my trip well with all the minute details and worked out to my satisfaction with lots of additional temples included as a part of the yatra.
As it was a complex tour ( in a limited time) we need to revise it a few times, to get it right.... and all along during the planning phase Vasu was extremely helpful and communicated with me all the time to make sure my requirements were included. When it came to execution of the yatra Vasu allocated a very competent driver, who was very knowledgeble about the whole route and very polite and good mannered to deal with. This made a huge difference as well.
On top of this Vasu used to SMS day's agenda and follow up with the driver after every temple visit and would call me every evening to check how I am going.
On the whole professionally planned and well executed yatra with everything was fully taken care leaving me to totally focus on my prayers at various divya desams and
I came back with very happy memories of the whole exercise and would highly recommend 108Divyadesam ( and Mr Vasudevan)
A big thank you Vasu

" In November 2018, we were blessed to go on a yatra of the Chola Nadu and Nadu Naadu Divyadesham temples. The visit to all 43 temples and a few additional temples over 6 days was an amazing experience from start to finish. We flew into Trichy from Bengaluru and was met by our driver Guna.
The itinerary was very well planned by Mr. Vasudevan, including arrangements in hotels, and timely stops. Mr. Vasudevan was in constant touch with us, making adjustments as necessary and supporting our driver throughout the road trip.
We almost hit the cyclone in TamilNadu but for Mr. Vasudevan's timely intervention, we were able to reroute and complete the yatra without any problems.
Mr. Vasudevan also accommodated several other temples enroute that we specially requested. Cholanadu has its own charm - driving past green paddy fields, well built roads, some quaint roads leading to almost empty temples, and the welcome on Perumal's face at the end of the journey! A special shout out to Guna, our driver. A young man, very professional, courteous and completely immersed in his responsibility.
If not for his persistence, we wouldn't have gone back to a couple of temples that were closed the first time we went. He made sure every temple in the itinerary was covered.
We had a great trip and we highly recommend Mr. Vasudevan and team for their Divyadesham tours.

" I am G.V. Ravikumar, residing in Chennai, a retired person from a Private Ltd., Company. During May 2017, I was intending to visit 108 Dhivyadesam temples. When I was discussing with my wife (R. Sasikala) on this and searching for a good tour Organiser, We came across 108divyadesam.com website and contacted Mr. Vasudevan over phone.
The way he explained and answered us over phone was so impressive and we decided to go for Chola Mandala Divyadesam (Kumbakonam) of around 40 temples. On hearing this, my Co-brother Mr. Muralidharan (retired person from a Bank) & Sister-in-law (R. Savithri) also joined us.
Mr. Vasudevan has made very good arrangements for a conforrtable stay, travel, dharshan etc., from Day one of our
tour till its completion. His package was so good and we never felt any discomfort.
We met him at Kumbakonam and he was so polite in explaining our programme everyday.
Sufficient time was given for Dharshan as well as for taking rest in between every day. The Driver he allotted to us also was so good and the driver was so flexible / adjustable for all the days executing his assignment with a smiling face.
Got attracted by Mr. Vasudevan's package we again made a booking for Pandiya Divyadesam (Tirunelveli& Madurai) during December 2017 and visited all Divyadesam temples in this package.
We now intend to visit Cheranadu (Kerala) Divyadesam in near future.
No doubt, it is none other than Mr. Vasudevan who will arrange for our trip for this. Adding to this, our visit to one of the temples was recorded in a religious programme by Podigai TV and we were so happy to see us in TV whenever they telecast this programme.

" End of the year 2017, my wife and I decided to do a DivyaDesam tour in India.
We aren’t familiar about required routes and aren’t ableto travel by car, train or bus even wehave been already few times in India.
Hence, we searched for a tour guide in the internet to get support.By this way, we found Sriman Vasudevan. We contacted him and told him, that we like to plan DivyaDesam tour in India, which contains, that we visit more than 108 Temples in different cities of India.
He made a perfect tour plan for us with wonderful hotels.
Even challenges could be managed byhim, like one example: We had problems with our lagguage, which arrived oneday later. Consequently, our tour need to be to postponed oneday later than planed. He quickly did a great job by replanning the tour, considering hotels and drivers.
Despite planning, he was always beside by the way of phone. When we had any request he fuilfilled them. Unfortunately we only visited 95 DivyaDesam, but we are looking forward to do another tour next year, ofcourse with support of Sriman Vasudevan.
Summarized, he made our DivyaDesam trip unforgattable and for that we like to thank him from heart. Radhae ! Radhae !
" Seit einer geraumen Zeit wollten meine Frau und ich die DivyaDesam Tour in Indien machen. Dazu suchten wir im Internet nach einem geeigneten Reiseleiter und traten so auf SrimanVasuvedan.
Wir erläuterten grob unsere Vorstellung. Daraufhin plante er die Routen und buchte die notwendigen Hotels. Die Unterkünfte, welche gebucht wurde, waren alle wunderschön und einzigartig. Obwohl sich unsere Reise wegen der Gepäckrückgabe um einen Tag verspäte, organisierte SrimanVasuvedan alles neu.
Er war immer erreichbar und erfüllte uns jeden Wunsch. Da wir leider nur 95 Tempel aufgrund der fehlenden Zeit besucht haben, werden wir nächstes Jahr wieder eine neue Tour, natürlich mit SrimanVasuvedan, anstreben.
Wir danken unserem Reiseleiter aus Herzen für diese wundervolle und unvergessliche Tour. Radhae ! Radhae !

" My wife and myself visited the Malainadu Divyadesam Yatra conducted and coordinated by Sri Vasudevan.
We would like to give our feedback on the tour.
Planning of the tour – Excellent planning – the tour itinerary was given well in advance and in very much detail and clarity. We wanted to complete all the 13 divya desams in 3 days and it could not have been possible but for the effective planning.
Followup / tracking– Over and above the planned schedules, Sri Vasudevan was in constant touch with us and the driver of the vehicle thus tracking / monitoring the timely completion as per the plan. More so we felt as though he was travelling with us all the time.
Response – quick and effective response to all our queries thus putting us at ease. We also wanted to visit few other temples like Varkala in addition to the deviya desams. But for the meticulous planning we could not have had the darshan at Varkala, Chotanigara, Guruvayoor temples.
Overall it was one our most memorable trips, thanks to Sri Vasudevan.
We are now extremely confident we will be able to complete all the remaining (as per our account) divya desams through Sri Vasudevan’s tour plans.
Last but not the least though we are yet to meet sri vasudevan, we hear his pleasant and courteous voice through the mobile phone giving us the confidence to explore unknown terrain.
VERY MANY THANKS TO SRI VASUDEVAN.

He has been instrumental in helping us visit all 106 divyadesams in south India in a very short span of 5 months.
He strength lies in his detailed planning and clear understanding of our needs (I have children aged 8 and 3 years).
He is excellent in his follow-up with his drivers during the travel. The drivers are very reliable.

We contacted Mr. Vasudevan who guided us and helped us to choose the right package. He was very professional, through, courteous and prompt. Both drivers were polite and courteous.
Mr. Vasudevan adjusted itenary to avoid crowds in the temples due to festivals and other engagements to ensure that we get dharshan within our scheduled time.
Without his arrangements it would have been impossible to visit 62 Divyadesam temples in 8 days.
We greatly appreciate his services and professionalism.

We just sat back, relaxed and fully EXPERIENCED the pilgrimage with the least pain. He was constantly in touch with us and ensured that we kept up with the tight itinerary which he tailor made for us.
We wish a lot of success to him and his team and may they be able to guide more and more people like us. I heard that by just showing direction to a temple by pointing a finger, one could be liberated. Vasudevan ji! You and your team are blessed souls!!

" Dear Vasudevan, We wanted to thank you for your services given by your organization to us for our visits to Divyadesams. When we approached you for your guidance to visit in the year 2014 to Cholanadu, Thondainadu and Nadunadu Divyadesams, you had drafted a detailed itinerary which suited our convenience. Your car arrangements were very helpful.
You had made sure that we visited all the temples without missing anything, you had arranged a guide for Thirunangur and Kanjipuram and also following through phone. That was really wonderful.
In the year 2015, we were guided in the same manner to visit Pandiyanadu and Malainadu Divyadesams. In Kerala we could get the darshans easily because of perfect planning.
Your follow up is always very helpful. Last year Ahobilam trip was also accomplished well with the help of guide and jeep arrangements. We are very happy to have had your assistance through all our visits to South.
In the course of our journey we also could go to Temples of great importance called Abhimana Kshetrams.
Thanks a lot sir once again. Let your services continue for many more years to come so that senior citizens like us get benefited to cross this samsara sagara to The Almighty at Kshirasagara. With regards,

Malai Nadu Diyadesam- A plesant and blessed experience.
Our planning for the trip started well before an year and we were blessed to get in touch with Mr. Vasudevan Padmanabhan who arranged the entire trip for us as if he was arranging this fot his son or a daughter.
It was a four day trip that went smoothly and the driver was so helpful and never interjected in any of the conversation.
The trip was very memorable. We had good darahans at every temple and all the temples were very clean and quiet.

" To, Mr.Vasudevan Padmanabham,
Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya.
I am sending you the following feedback regarding our divyadesham yatra ( Cholanadu and Nadu nadu ) in June 2017 through your 108 Divyadesham Tours. You had always kept telephonic and email contacts with us regularly from time to time regarding our tour schedule. Both hotel accomodations i.e. at Kumbhakonam and Chidambaram were very nice. We found us very comfertable at the A.C. hotel. The A.C. car arranged by you was also very comfertable. As it was a hot season the travel in A.C. car was very convinient for us.
The yatra schedule planned and arranged by you was very convinient. We had to complete 42 divyadesham temples ( 40 in Cholanadu and 2 in Nadu Nadu ). But your arrangement of temple schedule was so nice that we never found it tiresome or hectic any time. Some of the temples were in a remote area and very difficult to approach. But you provided a guide to lead the path. Thanks for your arrangement !! In addition to our regular divyadesham temples you also arranged for additional non divyadesham temples.
This arrangement was also very nice. We never found it hectic or tiresome within our 4 days tour.There was no hurry or any confusion during any occassion during this tour. Every morning you used to phone us and provide us details about the temple schedule of that particular day. This arrangement was very nice.
In nutshell, your tour arrangement was very nice and comfertable so that your travel company can be very much helpful for those desiring to visit divyadesham temples.
We wish you best luck for your tour business !!!!. Yours faithfully,
Mr.Sanjay V Joshi, Mumbai, Maharastra, India. |

His foresight as to include other must see khetrams like kaladi, chotanikara, guruvayur etc, carves his generous approach not just restricting to the divyadesams.
Thank you sir for the planning like how a family member would do. Your periodical calling on us, networking with the driver, choice of accommodation, all need a special mention.
Sridevi n me have done100 divyadesams, and would like to accomplish our goal with your able guidance.
Thank you once again from both of us. God bless you to keep up this divine endeavor.

" I had a Divyadesam Yatra throughout Tamilandu and Kerala through Mr.Vasudevan.
The service support and guidance was Absolutely fantastic. I Will use you again and refer my friends too. Mr.Prakash from my Mumbai office searched in Google and discussed with some,of the tour organizers and,finally felt comfortable with you.
During the yatra, even though we have amended the itinerary so many times, Mr.Vasudevan didn't feel tired and customized the itinerary as we required. I'm glad we had such a good experience with you. I also want to personally thank you for being so flexible .It was a very memorable trip and one that we would suggest to other people.
The communications were excellent, and we were very impressed that the arrangements made was very comfortable especially the,well planned itinerary and the communication throughout the yatra. "
Thank you Mr Vasudevan, we have now seen 103 temples.
