DIVYA Desams – 11 to 20 DIVYA DESAMs – 11 TO 20 DIVYA DESAMs - 11/108 - Thiru Athanoor Name of the Divya Desam : Sri Aandalakkum Aiyan Perumal temple Location : Thiru Athanoor, Kumbakonam circle, Thanjavur Dist Moolavar (Presiding Deity) : Sri Aandalakkum Aiyan Perumal Thayaar (Consort) : Ranganayaki Thayar Thirukkolam (Posture) : Sayanam(Reclining) Thirumugam (Facing) : East Mangalasasanam (Hymns sung by) : Thirumangai Azhwar Sthalapurana (Brief History) : Cont..2 -2- Thirumangai Azhwar exhausted all the money he had in the renovation of Srirangam temple. He had nothing left to pay the wages for the workers. He prayed to Lord for money, a divine voice asked Azhwar to come to a specific place on the banks of Kollidam river to collect the money. Azhwar reached the place and found a trader wearing a turban holding a measuring bowl (marakkal), palm leaf and Ezhuthani (writing tool). The trader told that Lord Ranganatha had sent him to help Azhwar and asked him his need, Thirumangai requested money to pay wages for the workers. The trader said that he had no money but the Marakkal he had would fulfill the need. He said that he would give sand measuring by his bowl, which will turn into gold only to such workers who sincerely worked and would remain sand itself to those who are not sincere. Azhwar accepted the condition. To many, it was sand only. The workers felt that the trader was a magician and began to attack him. He began to run away. Azhwar too chased him. The trader-Lord stopped at this place and showed His true form. He taught Azhwar in writing on the palm with the Ezhuthani. "Aandu" means to govern/rule in tamil, "Alakkum" means to measure, hence the Lord here is called "Andallakkum Aiyan". As Kamadhenu, the divine cow performed penance here, the place is named Athanoor. "Aa" in tamil means cow, "Than oor " means its place. About the temple: Lord Perumal appears in His reclining form with His consorts Sridevi and Bhoodevi. He has His Marakal (measuring bowl) as a pillow holding the palm and ezhuthani in His left hand. Cont..3 -3- Kamadhenu, the divine cow is at the feet of the Lord. Lord Shiva who had his Brahmahatti Dosha relieved by worshipping Perumal, has His due place in the sanctum near Perumal. Sage Bhrigu and Thirumangai Azhwar are also in the sanctum. According to our beliefs and scriptures, there are two pillars in the Paramapata, Abode of Lord Vishnu. Jeevas would be relieved of their sins once they embrace these pillars while going up. There are two such pillars in this temple in the Arthamandapa. Devotees use to circumambulate the pillars and worship the feet and head of Lord to attain salvation. Of the 108 Divya Desams, only Srirangam and Adanur temples have these pillars. �Proud to be a Hindu� Cont..2 -2- DIVYA DESAMs - 12/108 - Thirukudandhai Name of the Divya Desam : Sri Sarangapani Swamy temple Location : Kumbakonam Moolavar (Presiding Deity) : Sri Sarangapani / Araavamudhan Thayaar (Consort) : Komalavalli / Padithaanda pathini Thirukkolam (Posture) : Sayanam(Reclining) Thirumugam (Facing) : East Mangalasasanam (Hymns sung by) : Sri Aandal, Periyazhwar, Thirumazhisai Azhwar, Boothathazhwar, Peyazhwar, Nammazhwar, Thirumangai Azhwar Sthalapurana (Brief History) : As per legend Sage Hema Rishi did penance here to get Sri Lakshmi Devi as his daughter. Lord Vishnu was pleased by the penance and blessed the sage that he will get Sri Lakshmi as his daughter. Lakshmi Devi emerged from the Potramarai kulam (Lotus tank) among thousand lotuses and was thus named Komalavalli (one who emerged from lotus). At her appropriate age, Lord Vishnu descended to earth holding a bow, as Araavamudhan (unlimited nectar) in a chariot drawn by elephants and horses from his abode Vaikuntam and married Komalavalli thayar. "Sarangam" means bow of Vishnu and "pani" means holding, hence the Lord here is called Sarangapani ("one who holds the bow"). About the temple: The temple rajagopuram (main gateway) has eleven tiers and has a height of 173 ft (53 m). The temple faces east and the Potramarai tank is located outside the western entrance. Cont..3 -3- There are two stepped entrances to the sanctum, Utharayana Vaasal (opens from 15/Jan to 15/Jul) and Dhakshanayana Vaasal (opens from 15/Jul to 15/Jan). The speciality of this temple is that the central shrine is in the form of a * Chariot drawn by horses and elephants*, with openings on either side, showing the descent of Sri Sarangapani from Vaikuntam in the chariot. Lord is in a slightly raised reclining posture, with his head resting on his right hand. Sage Hemarishi, Lakshmi Devi and festival images are enshrined within the sanctum. Once Thirumazhisai Azhwar came here to worship the reclining Lord Araavamudhan. He was enchanted by the beauty of the Lord and sang ”Oh, Keshava, please just raise yourself slightly and talk to me". The Lord readily obliged and tried to get up (from the sleeping posture) to speak to the Azhwar. The Azhwar requested Perumal to remain in the exact posture of getting up, and to this day the Lord in this shrine can be seen in this Udhaana sayanam (slightly raised reclining) posture. Lord serves his devotee: * Sri Lakshmi Narayanaswamy, a devotee was ever engaged in the Nityakainkarya (Daily service to Lord) of the temple. With the help got from kings and the wealthy, he was able to procure oranaments for the deities, accumulate properties for the temple. He also built the Raja Gopuram and other extensive mandapas for temple. When the devotee breathed his last on a deepavali day, the Lord himself ordered to perform the funeral rites of the deceased as he had no heir. Even now on every Deepavali day shraddha is performed to Sri Lakshmi Narayanaswamy on behalf of the Lord. All the things necessary for doing rites and rituals are kept in Sri Aravamudhan's sannadhi and the temple is closed, so that Perumal can perform shraddha for Sri Lakshmi Narayanaswamy. * �Proud to be a Hindu�⁠⁠⁠⁠ DIVYA DESAMs - 13/108 - Thiruvinnagar Name of the Divya Desam : Sri Oppiliyappan temple Location : Thirunageswaram, Kumbakonam circle, Thanjavur Dist Moolavar (Presiding Deity) : Sri Oppiliyappan / Uppiliyappan Thayaar (Consort) : Bhoomi Devi Thirukkolam (Posture) : Nindra (Standing) Thirumugam (Facing) : East Mangalasasanam (Hymns sung by) : Thirumangai Azhwar, Peyazhwar, Nammazhwar, Poigaiazhwar Sthalapurana (Brief History) : Cont..2 -2- As per legend, once Tulasidevi did penance to attain closeness to Lord Vishnu. Lord gave a boon to her that His consort Mahalakshmi would appear under her lap in Thiruvinnagar. Tulasidevi appeared in the place where the temple is located as Tulasi plant. Markandeya Maharishi worshipped Lord Vishnu and desired to have Mahalakshmi as his daughter and Vishnu as his son-in-law. Once the rishi was on a holy trip and as he reached Thiruvinnagar, he felt that it was the right place for getting his desire fulfilled. The Rishi started severe penance for thousand years seeking Mahalakshmi's blessings. Lakshmi appeared as an infant under the already incarnated tulasi plant here. Markandeya took the baby, named her Bhoomidevi (as she was found in the Bhoomi - ground) and raised her with care. At the appropriate age of Bhoomidevi, on the panguni month of Shravana, Lord Vishnu appeared as an old man and showed interest in marrying her. Requesting the old man, Markandeya said "You are very ripe and old, my daughter is too young and she does not even know how to cook with right proportion of salt" to which the old man replied, "If your daughter must cook without salt, then I will still take it as my best food, but I will not leave from here without marrying her". Markandeya prayed and sought the help of Lord Vishnu. He realised that the old man was none other than Maha Vishnu himself. Just then Vishnu appeared in front of him with Sangu (conch) and Discus (chakram) as in Vaikundam. Markandeya Rishi happily offered his daughter's hand in marriage to the Lord. Cont..3 -3- The temple Neivedhyam (prasadh offering in the temple) is always prepared without salt. As Perumal accepted food without salt (Uppu in Tamil), He is known as Uppili Appan and as Oppili Appan as none equals Him (Uppili - without salt, Oppili - no equal). Tulasidevi-Bhooma devi came to stay on the chest of Lord in the form of garlands offered by devotees in all Perumal temples. About the temple: As the Lord says in Bhagavath Gita Ch-18:Ver66 - “*Maam Ekam Charanam Vraja*”, it is written on Sri Oppiliyappan's right hand pointing to His feet, meaning “I take care of those surrendering unto me”. As per another legend, a learned Brahmin by name Devasarma, overcome by passion had a forceful union with the daughter of Jaimini rishi. On her tearful complaint to her father, the rishi cursed him to become a bird. It was then the sinner repented and begging pardon, requested the Sage not to impose the curse. The Sage relented and advised that while he could not withdraw the curse already pronounced, as a bird he might live in the branch of a tree overlooking the holy pushkarini (pond) at this temple. Several years later, a cyclone blew in the night and broke the branch of the tree, the bird fell into the holy waters. Due to the bird's contact with the holy waters, it was relieved from the curse and Devasarma regained his original form. A speciality of this temple is that bathing is permitted in the pushkarini known as "Ahoratra pushkarini" both during day and night. �Proud to be a Hindu�⁠⁠⁠⁠ DIVYA DESAMs - 14/108 - Thirunaraiyur Name of the Divya Desam : Nachiyar Kovil / Sri Srinivasa Perumal temple Location : Nachiyar Kovil, Kumbakonam circle, Thanjavur Dist Moolavar (Presiding Deity) : Sri Srinivasan / Thirunaraiyur Nambi Thayaar (Consort) : Vanjulavalli / Nambikkai Nachiyar Thirukkolam (Posture) : Nindra (Standing) Thirumugam (Facing) : East Mangalasasanam (Hymns sung by) : Thirumangai Azhwar Sthalapurana (Brief History) : As per legend, Sage Medhavi prayed to Lord Vishnu to get Goddess Lakshmi as his daughter.

After returning from Badrinath, Adiyen also visited Tirumala-Tirupati and participated in Vimsathi darshanam a scheme which allows a family of 6 members to have Suprabatham, Nijapada and SahasraDeepalankara seva for any 2 consecutive days in a year . It was only due to the abundant grace of Thiruvengadamudaiyan adiyen was able to vist all the Divya desams without any difficulty. Before proceeding further, Adiyen would like to thank all the internet bhagavathas especially Sri Rangasri group members and M.S.Ramesh for providing abundant information about these divya desams. I have uploaded a Map of the hills again downloaded from UP Tourism site for ready reference . As Adiyen had not planned the trip in advance, it was not possible to join “package tour” organised by number of travel agencies and could not do as it was Off season. Adiyen wishes to share my experience with all of you and request the bhagavathas to correct the shortcomings. Adiyen was blessed to take my father aged about 70 years a heart patient , to this divya desam and it would not be an exaggeration to say that only because of my acharyar’s and elders’ blessings , the trip was very comfortable.

In bakthi special, Kumudham’s, a monthly magazine, on the heading “108 Thirupathis”, Ms. Priya kalyanaraman is writing all about every divya desam, in each issue, which was really, very useful for our trip. The writings of Ms. Priya kalyanaraman, elaborates the history back up of every divya desam and all the details including the timings of temple opening, Bhattacharya’s addresses and phone numbers. Our special thanks goes to Ms. Priya Kalyanaraman and Kumudham’s Bhakti special. On 5th December 2004, Sunday, by evening we started our holy trip from koyambedu Mofussil bus terminus (CMBT) at 22:15 hrs by the bus 157PP to chidambaram, it had reached chidambaram by 03:00 hrs on 6th December 2004.

U.Ve. Sowmyanarayanachariar of ThiruveLLaRai as a curtain raiser before we embark on the anubhavam of Kaliyan. ThiruveLLaRai is otherwise called as Aadhi ThiruveLLaRai or Sri SvEta Giri. The word Aadhi as a prefix for this Divya Desam indicates its ancient character; the suffix Thiru refers to its exalted state. VeLLarai and SvEta Giri are names associated with the hillock here, which is made of white granite slabs. It is considered ancient, since the legend has it that this temple predates that of Srirangam. This divya Desam is located 15 Kilometers north of Srirangam on the Tiruchi-Turayur road. THE ASSOCIATION OF SIBI CHAKRAVARTHY WITH THIS STHALAM Emperor Sibi was a predecessor of Sri Ramachandra. He spent time at SvEtagiri with his army on his way to Lanka to engage RavaNaa in combat and to teach him a lesson.

  • Sri Vaishnava Sampradaya Saara Nidhi(In Tamil) by Sri P.B.Annangarachariar Swamy
    Sri VaishNaVa Sampradaya Saara Nidhi(in Tamil) By Sri P.B.Annangarachariar Swamy (The quintessence of of VaishNaVa Tradition) English Translation by Vengrai Parthasarathy Many are the ‘Living Creatures’ created by Brahma, the Lord of Creation (who is himself a creation of Sri Narayana). To be born a Human is a special privilege. And, to be born as a Hindu, that too a Sri VaishNaVa is a matchless blessing, because it is the cumulative effect or fruit of generational virtuous deeds (Karma). At the same time this privileged position carries with it many an obligation. To enhance its value, a true VaishNaVa has to know what the tradition is about and follow certain daily duties (dinacharya) or guide-lines. Lord Maha Vishnu, (known also as Narayana and Vasudeva among a thousand other names) manifested Himself in many AvatArs on earth to animate house-holders who may have lost their spiritual moorings and to crush evil doers and protect the virtuous (ParitharANAya SadhunAm, vinAashAya dushskruthAm). Archa-s are consecrated idols in the Divya Desam-s (108) the most prominent of which are Tirumalai, Srirangam, KAnchipuram, and TirunArayanapuram (Melkote) shrines. To bring home these truths the Lord has deputed Azhvar-s and Acharyas in human form. VaishNaVas are expected to follow sincerely the daily observances' (anushtAnam-s). We shall now follow through the highlights, by citing important things that Sri VaishnavA-s should know and do.. The Bhakthi cult was propagated by the Azhvar-s and the shrines cited by them are known as DIVYA DESAMs. The word ‘Divya’ has been employed by our ancestors very elegantly.Of all the religious literature on the Supreme Being, Sriman Narayana, the most important are the Sastra-s (in Sanskrit ) and –of equal importance--the Tamil Veda known as DIVYA PRABHANDHAM.
