Akshaya Thrithaya one day trip

Last year on Akshaya thrithaya our tour organizer took us on a trip to Lakshmi Kuberar temple. It’s in Ratnamangalam near Vandalur .

Being Akshaya thrithaya it was overcrowded with devotees. This temple is open by 5 am to 1pm again by 4 pm to 8 pm daily .

We paid Rs. 100 for a special archanai on that day . They gave us a nellikai (Amla) a small akshaya bowl along with prasadham and a green sacred thread they tied in our hands .

We bought a green lamp with the Kubera enthiram numbers when added any sides sums upto 9 .

There were seperate shrines to Lakshmi Ganapathy, Muthukumaran ( lord muruga) lord vishnu, Swarnaakarshana Bhairavar , lord Hanuman and navagrahas.

Near this temple is a Saibaba mandir and Chakrakali temple .

Both temples are maintained by the same trustee .

From the street end a narrow passage leads to Araikaasu Amman temple . In this temple the main deity being Arai Kaasu Amman . It is believed the lost things if we pray keeping a rupee coin to this Amman it will be found out soon .It was under construction being a newly constructed temple the hall consisted of all 51 Shakthi peedam Ammans .

Then we had a lunch break and from there through Mahindra tech city we travelled to Thiruvadi soolam.

This temple is also a newly constructed one and workings were going on still .

First was a Bhairavar temple and then a Goddess Karumari Amman temple of 51 feet . The 51 feet denotes the 51 Shakthi peedams and Kodi linga . A big linga in which Kodi (crore) small lingas are sculptured within .

This temple was also overcrowded being an auspicious day . There is a side entrance for 108 Divyadesham Perumal in this temple. Lord Venkatachalapathy temple and Lord Anjineyar temple. All Divyadesham Perumal could be seen in one place .

Finally Thirukachur Maruntheeswarar temple. In this temple the main deity is Maruntheeswarar or Oushadeeswarar and Goddess name is Irul neekiya Amman .

Near the dwajasthambam of this temple there is a pit , where people take the mud and apply for their skin ailments.

Legend of this temple is once Indra the celestial Lord was sick even Ashwini brothers (God of medicines) could not treat him . Lord Shiva told Ashwini brothers to go to this place to get certain herbs . Hence the Lord is known as Maruntheeswarar. When the Ashwini brothers came for herbs the place was filled with darkness and Goddess Parvathi gave glow to this place and hence known as Irul Neekiya Nayaki.

Thirunangur 11 Divyadeshams

Image
11 Cholanadu Divya Desams in and around Thirunangur near Seerkazhi. Deities from each of the Thirunangur temples go out on a street procession on Garuda Vahanam and come together at Mani Mada Koil in Thai maasam (mid January) Sthalapuranam Angered at not being invited for the Yaagam conducted by Parvathi’s father Dakshan , Lord Shiva performed the Rudra Thaandavam (dance) in a place called Ubaya Cauvery (between Cauvery in the South and Mani River in the North) , a few kms South East of Seerkazhi . So aggressive was his performance that for every hair that fell down on the ground, a new form of Lord Shiva emerged. And very quickly 11 forms of Lord Shiva were each performing the Rudra Thaandavam. Sensing a possible damage to the world as a result of Lord Shiva’s fury , Lord Vishnu appeared here before Shiva as Paramapatha Naathan . Softened by the presence of Lord Vishnu , Rudra requested Vishnu appear in just as many forms . Lord Vishnu is said to have acceded to this request and provi...

Nava Dwaraka

My recent Nava dwaraka trip along with Bav nagar koliyac  Nishkalang Mahadev beach temple and Diu and Daman Gangeshwar Porbandar Kirti mandir and many other sub temples near Somnath , old and new Somnath temple and Nageshwar jyothirlingam. First day we saw  Kankroli Dwaraka here the deity is Lord Krishna named Dwarakadesh. The significance of the temple here is every 1 hour the temple will be closed for 15 minutes to decorate the Lord and kept open for an hour and again the same thing repeats and it's considered as Shyam bogh dharshan. We were lucky enough to see the arathy dharshan of the Lord Dwarakadesh. The next dwaraka was at Nathdwara named Srinath Dwarakadesh . In both the temples they follow the same Shyam bogh dharshan. Here a closed room with wooden doors with silver carvings are done and this room was considered sacred as Lord krishna himself has played here with his friends and there is a Balakrishna shrine too inside the temple complex. Both these temples a...

On maatu pongal ( 16th January 2020 ) day my daughter and grand daughter visited us after worshipping Pongal at their place . We decided to visit our farm near Thiruthani ( Podatur to chittoor road ). There is Lord Murugar temple in Thiruthani , which is one of his abode in ” arupadai veedu “. Since we have visited this temple many times wished to go to Mathur Mahishasuramarthini temple just 3km from our farm . We started by 10 am having breakfast at home and had a short coffee break at Hotel Akshayam in Thiruvallur from there drove straight to the temple . The temple is situated at 2.5 kms from Ponpadi railway station and 13kms from Thiruthani Lord Murugar temple . The Swayambu Amman Idol was found in 1960’s near the Railway track in a place called Sakthi Medu. In 1954, while laying the railway track between Chennai and Tirupathi, this Goddess appeared as Swayambu to a group of workers in this place. Stunned by the charm of the Goddess, they constructed a small temple for her...
