Guide to 275 SIVA STHALAMS Glorified by Thevaram Hymns (Pathigams) of Nayanmars

He regularly contributes articles on Management, Business, Ancient Temples and Temple Architecture to many leading Dailies and Magazines. His articles for the young is very popular in “The Young World section” of THE HINDU. He was associated in the production of two Documentary films on Nava Tirupathi Temples, and Tirukkurungudi Temple in Tamilnadu. His book on “The Path of Ramanuja”, and “The Guide to 108 Divya Desams” in book form on the CD, has been well received in the religious circle. Preface: Tirth Yatras or pilgrimages have been an integral part of Hinduism. Pilgrimages are considered quite important by the ritualistic followers of Sanathana dharma. There are a few centers of sacredness, which are held at high esteem by the ardent devotees who dream to travel and worship God in these holy places. All these holy sites have some mythological significance attached to them. When people go to a temple, they say they go for Darsan – of the image of the presiding deity. The pinnacle act of Hindu worship is to stand in the presence of the deity and to look upon the image so as to see and be seen by the deity and to gain the blessings. There are thousands of Siva sthalams- pilgrimage sites - renowned for their divine images. And it is for the Darsan of these divine images as well the pilgrimage places themselves - which are believed to be the natural places where Gods have dwelled - the pilgrimage is made. -

Madhura Murali March 2017
Sri Hari: Madhura Murali March 2017 Spiritual Monthly With Blessings of His Holiness Maharanyam Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji Madhura Smaranam My Guru As I See Him Dr A Bhagyanathan Vaikunda Ekadasi was on 8th January this year. This day always brings to our mind Lord Sri Ranganathar and Srirangam. On this day, several people from many places come to Sri Rangam for the opening of the holy doorway of parama pada. Around the time of Vaikunda Ekadasi, Sri Swamiji also gets immersed in deep thoughts of Sri Rangam. This year, at ashram, in the early hours of the day, along with dhanur month pooja, thiru manjanam for Premika varadan was performed. At about 8 AM, Sri Premika Varadan was taken around in procession in garuda vahana. With all devotees doing namakirtan during procession, Premika Varadan went around blissfully enjoying all the proceedings, gently moving along with his consort, Sri Madhuri Sakhi. From the previous night before Vaikunda Ekadasi itself, Sri Swamiji was consumed by the thoughts of Vaikunta ViNNagaram dhivya desam. Only in this Thirunangur dhivya desam, situated near Seergazhi, Perumal, both moolavar and urchavar are exactly in the same form as the Para Vasudevan in Sri Vaikuntam. Bhagavan resides here with Sri Devi, Bhoodevi and Neeladevi. As Swamiji desired to have darshan of this Perumal on Vaikunda Ekadasi day, He left ashram after the procession of Sri Premika varadan. In the evening around 7 pm, Swamiji reached Thirunangur pada sala and from there he went to Vaikunta Vinnagaram and had darshan of Perumal. Sri Swamiji’s happiness knew no bounds. -
