 Thiruvaikunta Vinnagaram Vaikuntanatha Perumal Temple: This is the sixth temple in the Thirunangur belt. We are visiting the temple of Shri Vaikuntavalli Thayar sametha Shri Vaikuntanatha Perumal (Thamaraikann Nediyapiran/Thamaraikannan). The temple is open from 7 am 11 am and from 4 to 7 pm. The contact number is 04364 275478.

There are three theerthams attached to this temple- Lakshmi, Uttanga and Viraja. The main one is in the northern direction. This temple is having only one prakaram and there is no Rajagopuram. The vimanam is called Ananda Sathya Vartaka Vimanam. This is another temple being managed by Sri Muralidhara Swamigal. The flower garden of the temple which was praised in Thirumangai Azhwar’s pasuram, was in bad shape. Thanks to the initiative taken by one Sri Varahachari, it is now renovated.

The Moolavar Shri Vaikuntanathar is in sitting posture (Irundha kolam) facing east. This is the only temple among the 11 Divya Desams of Thirunangur, where both the Moolavar and Utsavar are in sitting position. The way the Lord sits here is majestic, with one raised leg and another one on the floor with His hands resting on the knee.

The sthala puranam of this temple is connected a king called Swetaketu. ( Some claim that this is incorrect and it was King Uparisiravas) After performing all his duties as a king, he handed over responsibility to his son and entered into the Vanaprastha phase ( giving up the worldly life) along with his wife Damayanthi.

After they did intense penance without food or water, they left for the heavenly abode, Sri Vaikuntam. However they could not see the Vaikuntanathan there. The couple were desperate. At that time, Sage Narada came there. When the couple requested him for a way to meet the Lord, he suggested that they should go back to the earth and pray to Lord Iravatheswarar on the banks of river Kaveri and He would show the way.

The royal couple went to the temple of Iravatheswarar and prayed. Shiva appeared before them and when He came to know about their mission, He said that He was also searching for Sriman Narayanan. He suggested that all the three of them should do collective penance. Sage Uthankar who was also desperate to have darshan of Sri Vishnu, joined them.

Pleased with their prayers, Vishnu appeared before them along with Sridevi and Bhoodevi. Shiva requested Vishnu to remain in this place and bless the other devotees in future and Vishnu acceded to the request. As the Lord of Vaikuntam appeared here, this place came to be called Vaikunta Vinnagaram ( Vishnu temples are called Vinnagaram) and the Lord, Vaikuntanathan. The Mother came to be called Vaikuntavalli.

The Lord is called Thamaraikannan. I have read an article where the author has described the Lord as follows: personally enquired the bhattar to show the eyes of moolavar perumal. When aarati was performed, I saw the Lord, where He showed the stretch of eyes running from nose to ears. This has given raise to the name Thamaraikannan. Praying to this divine couple on the Magam star day of every month for six months, would ensure that childless couples, get children.

Since this is believed to be the Vaikuntam on earth, there is no Dwajasthambam, no Garudazhwar and no shrine for any other deity. The Lord in the only shrine gives darshan along with Sridevi, Bhoodevi and Neeladevi. I have not come across any other Divya Kshetram where there is only a single shrine. Outside the temple, along the walls, there is a shrine of Surya Narayanar. Note: Photos and some of the inputs were collected from various web sites.

Thiruvanpurushothamam Purushothaman Temple

Thiruvanpurushothamam (Thirunangur) Purushothamar Temple: The next Divya Desam in Thirunangur is the temple of Shri Purushothama Nayaki sametha Shri Van Purushothaman ( Thiruvan Purushothaman) Temple. This temple is kept open from 8 to 11 am and from 5.30 to 8 pm. The contact number for this temple is 04364 256221. The sthala vrukshams are jack fruit and plantain. The pushkarni is Thirupparkadal Theertham. This is north of the temple and is one of the rare temple tanks without any green moss ( Paasi in Tamil). Among the Divya Desams in TN, this is the second temple where the Lord is called Purushothaman, the other one being Uthamarkoil, near Trichy. Sri Manavala Mamunigal stayed in this place for two years and served the Lord.

As I mentioned in the previous write up, seven of the temples in Thirunangur are being managed by Sri Muralidhara Swamigal. This is one of them. However when we see the temple notice board, we would find that the Bhattar is being paid a monthly compensation of Rs 500! ( Even if it is over and above the salary given by the Government, if any, it is a pittance. I know from personal experience that the Government salary for the temple priests and workers, is very meagre). This reinforces the point I made some time back about giving liberal Dakshina to the temple staff.

I have been writing about Thirugnana Sambandar in several Shiva temple write ups. When he was a child in Sirkazhi, he started crying when he could not see his father. Mother Parvathi came with milk and fed him and pacified him ( More about this in Sirkazhi write up). Similar incident is narrated in this temple.

I have mentioned about Sage Vyakrapathar who was blessed with the feet of tiger so that he could climb trees to pluck flowers for his pooja. His strange form also helped him to remain away from others and focus on his meditation. He had a son by name Upamanyu. When he was very young, once Vyakrapathar took him to this place.

He left the child in a safe place and went around the garden for plucking flowers. The child waited for some time and as his father did not return, he started crying. The cry reached Vaikunta and moved by his tears, the Lord created a milk ocean and Mother Purushothama Nayaki, fed the child with this milk, to calm him down. When Vyakrapather returned, he saw this wonder and was speechless! Due to this reason, the temple pushkarni is called Thirupparkadal Theertham (Milk Ocean). Thirumangai Azhwar sang pasurams hailing the Lord for His kindness towards the child.

Perumal is in standing posture (Nindra Thirukolam) in the central shrine, facing east along with Sridevi and Bhoodevi. Since Sanjeevani herb is associated with Sri Rama and Maruthi, the temple vimanam is called Sanjeevi Vigraha Vimanam. Since this is more a Rama temple, it is called Purushothaman ( Purusha Uthaman= Noblest man) temple and Thiruvan is an honorific prefix. The Utsava Murthy of this Lord in this temple is extraordinarily beautiful. Unlike many other Vishnu temples, here both the Moolavar and Utsavar are called by the same name (Purushothaman).

Mother Purushothama Nayaki’s shrine is in the southwest corner of the temple and She is in sitting position. The shrines of Sri Rama, Seetha, Lakshmana, Udayavar, Nammazhwar, Senai Mudaliar and Anjaneya are in the prakaram. In fact, there are three Anjaneyas in this temple, of which the one in front of Sri Rama is in traditional worshipping posture with folded hands with one hand covering the mouth.

The temple is surrounded by paddy fields. It is having a three tiered vimanam over the main shrine. The entire complex is surrounded by madhils ( walls). Chanting Vishnu Sahasranama for 48 days followed by pooja to this Lord, is believed to solve most of one’s problems. Note: Photos and some of the inputs were collected from various web sites.

Thiruvali Divyadesam

 

Thiruvali – Thirunagari Divyadesam both the Narasimha Kshetrams are together worshiped as One Divyadesam. Being the place where the “Thirumandhiram” was taught to Thirumangai Azhwar by the Almighty Himself, the temple is being worshipped as equal as Badrinath. Thiruvali Thirunagari is one among the Pancha Narasimha Kshetrams. Devotees can worship Yoga Narasimhar and Hiranya Narasimhar at Thirunagari. Lakshmi Narasimhar with Goddess Lakshmi Devi on His Right Lap can be worshipped in Thiruvali. Thiruvali Thirunagari is one of the Pancha Narasimha Kshetrams. Devotees can worship Yoga Narasimhar and Hiranya Narasimhar at Thirunagari. Lakshmi Narasimhar with Goddes Lakshmi on HIS Right Lap can be worshipped in Thiruvali. Ugra Narsimhar at Thirukurayalur, the birth place of Thirumangai Azhwar and Veera Narsimhar is blessing at Mangaimadam, where Thirumangai Azhwar fed 1008 vaishnavites every day for the whole year as per the wish of Kumudhavalli Nachiyar to marry her. Narasimhar Idol Worshipped as "Sindahaikkiniyan" by Thirumnagai Azhwar was Installed by him here Thirumangai Azhwar and Kumudhavalli Nachiyar Neelan, the great warrior in Chozha Kingdom – Once in a village called Thirukurayalur near Thiruvali, a boy was born with bluish body and hence he was called as Neelan. Very soon he became the successful warrior and attained an honorable status in the Kingdom of Chola Dynasty beacuse of his braveness To admire Neelan, Chozha Emperor gave him a villages called Thiru Aali and Mangaimadam made him as a King. Thus Neelan became Aali Nadan and Mangai Mannan. Once a head of Apsaras named Sumangali visited Bhoologam along with her collegues. At that time, she saw Kapila Munivar when he was on his penance. Kapila Munivar was ugly and Sumnagali on seeing him commented about his ugliness. Angry Kapilar cursed her that she would not go to Vinnulagam and will born as a human being. Stunned Sumnagali apologized her mistake and begged for the remedy. Pleased Kapila Muni said her that soon she will get married with a great warrior of Chola Kingdom and if sumnagali twist his mind towards Sreeman Narayanan, both will get Blessed by the Almighty. Sumnagali was born as a female baby and brought by a Vaishnava Doctor in the name of "Kumudhavalli". When she attained the age for the marriage, her parents discussed her about the marriage. Sumangali clearly explained to her parents about his curse and the remedy. Meanwhile, Aalinadan who was also called as Mangai Mannan came to know about Sumnagali and her beauty. He approached her parents and informed them that he wanted to marry her. But Kumudhavalli made a condition to Thirumangai that if he dedicates his life towards Sreeman Narayanan and doing the service for the Vaishnava devotees, she will marry him. Aalinadan accepted her condition and became an adherent devotee of Parantahman and started servicing HIS devotees. He became a typical vaishnavite and based on the request from Kumudhavalli he fed 1008 vaishnavites a day for the whole year in a place called Mangaimadam. Finally on a very auspecious day they got married. Neelan becomes Thirumangai Mannan Being very fond and dedicated to Paranthaman, Mangai Mannan started to raise funds to build temples for Him. One fine day he had no funds to proceed further. To a big surprise, he started robbery. By noticing this all his acts, Goddess Lakshmi requested Paranthaman to bless Aalinadan and his deep devotion. One Fine Day Paranthaman along with His consort Goddess Lakshmi Devi came as a Rich Newly Married Couple and passing through the place where Thirumangai was making robbery. By seeing the rich couple Neelan attempted to capture all the ornaments. He took all the ornaments from the couple and finally he saw a Toe Ring the bride was wearing. He tried his level best to pluck that, but he was not able to do so. Mangai Mannan asked the bride what was the mandhram he made for not removing his toe ring. The Almighty called Neelan near to HIM and taught Thirumandhiram. Overjoyed Aalinadan begging the Almighty for His blessings. Thus a King Mangai Mannan became Thirumangai Azhwar. Thereafter Thirumangai followed a righteous religious life and became one among the 12 Azhwars.

Thiruthevanarthogai Madhava Perumal

Moolavar of this sthalam is  Sri DeivaNayagan in the Nindra thirukkolam (Standing posture) facing east.

Prathyaksham for Vasishtar.

Thayaar in this sthalam is Kadalmagal Nachiyaar.

Pushkarani(holy tank) of this place is Sobana pushkarani, Devasabha pushkarani.

Mangalasasanams The temple is revered by the verses of Tirumangai azhwar

 We are now visiting the seventh temple in Thirunangur. The present name of the place is Keezhachalai. This is another temple being managed by Sri Muralidhara Swamigal. We are visiting the temple of Shri Kadal Magal Nachiar sametha Shri Deivanayakan (Utsavar: Madhava Perumal and Madhava Nayaki)This temple is around two kms from Van Purushothaman temple. The temple is open from 8.30 to 11.30 am and from 5.30 to 7.30 pm. The contact numbers are Balaji Bhattar @ 04364-256221/ 97864 90185. The theertham is Shobhana ( Deva Sabha) Pushkarni and the Vimanam is also called Shobana Vimanam.

The temple is on the south bank of river Mannar. This is a west facing temple. It is having a three tiered gopuram and all the shrines are enclosed within the tall compound wall (Madhil). The central shrine is that of Shri Deivanayakar who faces west. Generally, in most of the temple, Moolavar faces east. He is flanked by the two Thayars. He is in standing posture ( Nindra Thirukolam). Thayar and Utsavar Murthy shrines are in the prakaram.

Readers may be familiar with the story of churning of the Milk Ocean (Thiruparkadal) for getting the coveted Nectar. Sri Mahalakshmi is believed to have come out of this churning. This is the place where the Thayar got married to Perumal. Hence both the Lord and the Thayar are in their wedding attire. As the word Shobanam is associated with auspicious events like marriage, the pushkarni as well as the Vimanam are called by that name. In this aspect, this temple is compared to the Thiruvidanthai temple on the East Coast Road from Chennai to Mahabalipuram.

Since all the Devas assembled here as a group to witness the marriage ceremony, this place came to be called Devanar Thogai ( assembly of Devas). As He is the the leader of the Devas, He is called Deivanayakan or Devanathan. Thayar is called Kadal Magal ( daughter of the sea) Nachiar as She came out of the Milk Ocean. This is another temple where the construction is so precise ( there are two levels of Vimanam with a particular angle) that like the Tanjavur Big Temple, here also the shadow of the vimanam does not fall on the sanctorum.

The sthala puranam is related to Sage Durvasar and Indra. The Sage got the garland adorning the Lord in Vaikuntam. When he went to Indraloka, he gave the garland to Indra who did not realise the holiness of the garland . He threw the garland on his elephant Iravatham. The enraged sage cursed him to lose all his wealth as he had insulted not only the Lord but also Sri Lakshmi who was residing in the heart of the Lord. As She was controlling all his wealth, Indra would lose everything including his elephant.

Indra realised his mistake and sought a remedy from the sage. He was in no mood to forgive him and asked him to consult his guru, Brahaspathi. The Guru also expressed his helplessness and advised him to seek Brahma’s help. Brahma suggested surrendering to the Vaikuntavasan. Indra fell at the Feet of the Lord. Sri Vishnu said that as Indra committed a grave error, he had to pray till the time of churning of the Milk Ocean. Indra did intense penance and when the Milk Ocean churning went on, Sri Lakshmi came out of it along with Indra’s elephant iravatham. Sri Lakshmi pardoned Indra and gave him a fresh garland and Indra got back all his lost wealth.

This temple is connected with Sage Vasishta who was the Kula Guru of Ikshvaku kings ( Sri Rama was born in this dynasty ). The meaning of the word Vashista is one with unparalled brightness ( due to his conquering of desire, jealousy, anger, pride etc). He is believed to have got all his knowledge right from a very young age and he was one of the Saptharishis who was revered by everyone. He wrote one of the sections of Rig Veda and is the only Rishi who is mentioned there. This is the reason why the celestial cow Kamadhenu who came out of the Milk Ocean was given to Vashista. This sage had darshan of the Lord here.

Devotees pray in this temple if marriage proposals are getting delayed. Since the Lord and the Thayar got married and are present in their wedding attire in this temple, They would bless the devotees for an early marriage. Similarly, those who face acute financial problems pray to the Thayar for resolution of the issues. Note: Photos and some of the inputs were collected from various websites.

Annan koil Thiruvellakulam

 Moolavar - Annan Perumal - standing posture East facing

Thayar     - Alarmelmangai Poovar Tirumagal - Padmavathi

Utsavar    - Srinivasan

Swethan the son of Dundhumaran was predicted to die at the age of nine. As directed by sage Vashishta he came to Annan koil, bathed in the white-lilies filled pond and did Nrisimha Mrithyunjaya japam and lived uptil a ripe old age. Swethan means white so the pond got the name vellakulam. This pond is the avatharasthalam of Kumudhavalli nachiyar who made Tirumangaimannan an azhwar by making him do pancha samskaram and feed thousands of Srivaishnavas daily.Perumal is senior to Tirupathi Srinivasa and is therefore known as Annan Perumal.

There are 11 Thirunangur divyadesams .Angered at the insult meted to his wife Sati by her father Daksha ,Shiva performed Tandavam on the banks of ubhaya kaveri near Seerkazhi. So great was his fury that for every hair that fell a Rudran emerged. Scared the gods asked Perumal to save the situation. As soon as Shiva the foremost Vaishnava saw Perumal his anger abated . As requested by Shiva, Perumal took 11 forms which form the 11 Tirunangur divyadesams.

Annan Perumal Koil, Thiruvellakulam : We are now visiting the tenth shrine in the Thirunangur cluster. Though this is known as Thiruvellakulam, the popular name is Annan Perumal Koil. This is very close to Thiruthevanar Thogai temple which is east of this temple. We are visiting the temple of Shri Alarmel Mangai sametha Shri Narayanan ( Annan Perumal/Kannan) temple. However this is known more for the Utsavar Shri Padmavathi (Poovar Thirumangai) sametha Shri Srinivasan.

This sthalam and the colour white have close connections. Vellai (white) kulam became Vellakulam. ( There are other meaning for the word Vella which refers to water and Kulam refers to temple tank). Sri Ramar, Balaramar and Adhi Vishnu were fair coloured. The Sanskrit word for white is Swetham. Hence the temple tank is called Swetha Pushkarni and the vimanam, Swetha Vimanam (Tatvat Yodhaga Vimanam). Sthala Vrukshams are Vilvam and Purasu. Its association with Swetan ( more about this later) also was responsbile for the name.

This is also a relatively small temple with only one prakaram. This is one of the TN temples which is kept open throughout the day from 7 am to 8 pm. The contact numbers are 04364 266534, 94436 79303 / 94439 85899 and 094898 56554 ( Sri Madhava Bhattachariar). For many people in this region, this is the preferred temple to perform their 60th, 70th and 80th birthday poojas ( similar to Thirukadaiyur or Pillayarpatti). The last Jeernodharana was done in 2016.

At the entrance, there is the temple tank and a 3 tiered rajagopuram. The entire complex is covered by granite wall. Apart from the Moolavar, there are shrines for the Nachiar, Anjaneyar, Nammazhwar, Manavala Mamunigal and Kumudavalli Nachiar, wife of Thirumangai Azhwar. She was found on the steps of the temple tank and she agreed to marry Thirumangai only after the latter had promised to fulfill all her conditions. She was one of the first persons to pave the way for the ordinary Neelan to become the extraordinary Thirumangai Azhwar! In this village, Azhwar was treated with utmost respect as he was the son in law of the village. Whenever he visited this place, he used to be received with two manjal thengais ( 2 coconuts smeared with turmeric) and when he was leaving, accompanying him upto the village boundary.

Shri Manavala Mamunigal had darshan of the Lord here. The name Annan Koil has interesting origin. Shri Thirumangai Azhwar called this Perumal as elder brother of Tirupathi Balaji. Hence he addressed Him as Annan (elder brother in Tamil) and the place came to be called Annan Koil and the Perumal, Annan Perumal. Like Tirupathi, here also we have the divine couple Srinivasan and Alarmelmangai and Padmavathi. It is believed that those who are unable to visit Uppiliappan temple or Tirupathi, could offer prayers in this temple ( as He is considered elder brother of both these Perumals) and get the same benefits. Hence this kshetram is called Dakshina Tirupathi (Tirupathi of the South). Azhwar praises this place also as Bhooloka Vaikundam.

This temple is connected with a king called Swetharajan, son of King Dundumaran. (It is likely that as this king had Swetha as his first name, the place got the same prefix which in Tamil is called Vellai or Vella). Sage Vasishta predicted that the boy would die in a miserable way at the age of nine. When the king begged for his advice, the sage advised the boy to recite Maha Mrutunjaya Mantra continuously staying in the ashram of Maruth Rishi in this kshetra. The boy commenced the Japam from Sukhla Paksha of Karthigai month ( Nov-Dec). When he did it for more than a month, Perumal appeared before him and assured him of a long life and also ensured that the Pushkarni was named after Swethan. Hence it is believed that those who recite this mantra more than 8000 times would conquer the fear of death.

#மஹாலக்ஷ்மி_அஷ்டகம்

#அஷ்டகம்_என்றால்

எட்டுப் பொருள்களைக் கொண்டது என்பது பொருள். ஈரடிகளாக வரும் இந்த ஸ்லோகம் இந்திரனால் மஹாலக்ஷ்மியை துதித்து “பத்ம புராணத்தில்” பாடப்பட்டது.

இந்த மஹாலக்ஷ்மி அஷ்டகத்தை ஒரு முறை, இரு முறை, மூன்று முறைகளால் சொல்வதால் ஏற்படும் பலன்களைக் குறிப்பது.

ஏக காலம் படேந் நித்யம் மஹா பாப விநாஷணம்
த்விகாலம் ய : படேந்நித்யம் தனதான்ய ஸமன்வித:

இந்த ஸ்லோகத்தை ஒரு முறை சொன்னால் அணைத்து பாவங்களும் நீங்கும்.
இரு முறை சொன்னால் தனங்களையும், தான்யங்களையும் அடைவோம்.

த்ரிகாலம் ய படேந்நித்யம் மஹா ஷத்ரு விநாஷனம்
மஹாலக்ஷ்மீர் பவேந்நித்யம் ப்ரஸன்ன வரதா ஸூபா

தினம் இதை கூறி மஹாலக்ஷ்மியின் பரிபூரண அருள் பொங்கிய சாந்த வடிவத்தில் நாம் சகல அனுக்ரஹங்களையும் பெறுவோம்.
