Thepperumanallur Shiva temple where only devotees without future rebirths can go

 Thepperumanallur Shiva temple where only devotees without future rebirths can go


Compiled by
P.R.Ramachander



(I came to know about this temple (Which is the only temple in India where Lord Shiva is worshipped by Rudraksha) from a detailed write up by my face book friend Athreya Gothram Bairava Ramani. All what I have written is rewriting of what he has done .My acknowledgements to him. It seems the temple is in a bad condition and efforts are being made to do Kumbabhishekam to this temple.It is also known that the priests are very poorly paid .Humble request to all Pilgrims who go to Nava Graha temple trip. This tempe is very close the Rahu temple of Thirunageswaram .Please try to visit this temple and donate what you could. Ofcourse you would succeed only if you do not have a rebirth.)

This temple which is very near Thirunageswaram Rahu temple of Kumbakonam is also called Annadhana sivan temple,In this temple the entire Shva Linga is covered with Rudraksha beads (kavacha) on festival days and hence the God is also called Rudraksheswarar . IN this siva linga in the Avudiyar(base) a maragada is fixed inside on which sunlight falls every day. The Power of this linga is said to be the combination of all the 12 jothirlingams in India and therefore unique.
This Lord is also called as Viswanathar and his consort is Vedha Nayagi .She appears as if she is walking towads us with lips appearing as if she is speaking with us. The ARchana to Rudarkshareswarar is done by Eka mukha or 12 Mukha Rudrakshas.When you do pooja a Rudraksha and a vilwa dala is given as Prasada at this temple. It seems only the sanctum sanctorum of Lord Shiva is built with lime(chunnam) mixed with honey. There is a belief that on solar eclipse day a Cobra enters the temple with a vilwa leaf and worships the Lord .A video of this has been made once and can be seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdX81MavF-Q

There is an extremely interesting Sthala purana to the temple:-
It seems once the time came For Saneeswara to catch Lord Shiva and she told Goddess Ambal that he was going to trouble Lord Shiva for Seven and half Nazhigai(Slightly less than three hours) next day. Ambal told lord Shiva to hide behind Peepul tree and he agreed . When Lord Sani came he understood where Lord Shiva was and he stood there before the tree and after seven and a half Nazhigai when Lord Sani started moving from there, Ambal asked him whether he is going back without doing his job. Then Lord Sani replied her that he had troubled Shiva by making him hide for seven and half Nazhigai behind a tree .,Hearing this Lord Shiva came from the back side of the tree and assumed the form Maha Manthra BHairava and tore Lord Sani in to two pieces.When Lord Sani pointed out that he has an important role to play in the world by controlling the pride of people, Lord Shiva pardoned him and made him in to a single form.

The Goddess then chanted the four Vedas and pacified Lord Shiva who has taken the form of Maha Manthra Bhairava and because of this she got the name as Vedha Nayagi,

At that time sage Narada came and pointed out to Lord Shiva that by punishing Lord Sani , Lord Shiva has accumulated some sin and this would go away only if he sees all his tweleve Jyothir lingas together , Lord Shiva made all the twelve lingas come there .Because all of them came here, it is believed that only people who have no next birth would be fated to come to this temple. Among the 12 jyothir lingas , the Kasi Viswanatha Linga chose to stay in this temple itself.

Hearing about the greatness of this temple sage Agasthya wanted to come and do darsan at this temple. Since according to his fate, he had re birth , Lord Shiva wanted to prevent his coming to this temple. So he called sage Makarandha and asked him to prevent sage Agasthya from visiting this temple . That sage turned in to Makarada flowers and blocked the way of sage Agasthya from coming to the temple. Sage Agasthya could understand that it was sage Makaranda who was blocking his way and requested him to permit him to go to the temple. When he refused sage Agasthya cursed sage makaranda that his flower like face should become lion face.Then sage Makaranda asked sage Agasthya’s pardon and told him it was Lord Shiva who wanted him to prevent sage Agasthya . Sage Agasthya then told him that the day when he worshipped the Shiva linga of that temple with a flower which no one had ever used for before , then he will regain his form. Makaranda Rishi went on worshipping with different different flowers daily for 50 years,. After that one day, the rudraksha which he had tied on his neck fell on the linga , and a great luster arose from the Linga. Seeing this sage Makaranda started worshippingwith Rudrakshas from one to 14 faces. Then Lord Shiva appeared before him and made his face normal.

The Shivalinga and its base(Avudayar) and Naga(serpent ) covering the linga are covered using twenty two thousand rudrakshas on Monthly Sivarathri and special festival days of Lord Shiva.

The Lord Nandi outside Lord Shiva’s temple does not have the right ear . It seems when deluge(pralaya) came this Lord Shiva did not get covered with water.It seems Lord Brahma vsited this temple and found this temple intact and Lord Shiva appeared before him as JYothir linga. At that time Lord Nandi was partially drowned but when it tried to climb in to this temple it slipped and felled down and its right ears folded inside. Lord Shiva then gave a boon to that Nandi that if a devotee comes and tells his request on the place where right eear was there , it would be definitely fulfilled.
ON the southern side of the temple is lord Dakshinamurthy. He appears without disciples and sitting on a bull facing south west . He is known as annadhana Dakshinamurthy and if you see him all your curses would get destroyed . Daily he is offered the rice cooked the previous day stored in water(Pazhaya Chatham) . People believe that if you pray him,you would get always food when you are hungry.
On north west of the temple is Lord Subrahmanya with his consorts and north is temple oh Maha Wishnu. It seems during Navarathri Lord Vishnu takes his sister Veda Nayagi and broth in law Lord Shiva to his temple on the last day of the festival.
Near to this temple is two Chandikeswara one very big and another small.There are also temples for four handed Vishnu Durga and eight handed Durga
There are also idols of Kalabhairva and Saneeshwara which is just outside the Amman shrine ; Vedanayagi.
Then there is a Kapala Vinayagar temple ., which fulfils the wishes of devotees
The power of the temple is such that Rahu/Kethu doshas are removed, childless couples bestowed with divine child and there are many more plus to benefit the devotee.
Temple Timings : Morning 07:00 am to 12:00 am, Evening 04:00 pm to 08:00 pm.
Nearest Town : Kumbakonam(8 km)
Temple Address : Thepperumanallur Shiva Temple,

Job at home without wife

Job at home without wife

 

Based  on a tamil  article

By

P.R.Ramachander

 

 


 

For   twice  a year  , darling mine ,

You do go to your  parent’s  place

Without you   and children,

The home   is looking   very dull

 

If I want  to boil  milk in the stowe, for coffee

After  struggling half an hour  to light it,

Half the milk  after  boiling   comes out,

And drenches the stowe , no coffee  till tomorrow

 

Though   I do not sweep  the home daily,

And  postphone   it for once a week

Sweeping once makes hips and knee,

To pain and some how , I could not find pain spray

 

In the office   some how  , I manage  to eat,

From a friends  tiffin box but for dinner,

On day one I called   the swiggy

And half my salary   was spent on that day

 

Deciding to cook, when I went  to buy vegetables

Some how   all that I get are fully spoiled  or very solid vegetables.

Trying to cut  them the  kitchen knife  breaks

And all  our kitchen  there  is fowl smell

 

Long back  when   I was a student   Dhobhi  ,

Used to come home and take the cloths ,

But after theto be washed  bucket  is full,

When I try to wash, I get torn and more  dirty cloths

 

Mot of the time  Iswitch on motor   to pump water

But sleep  without realizing that and once,

Neighbour called   fire engine to put off   fire on motor,

And   next day was spent   with no water  to drink

 

Without locking front    door  and without

Putting off  the stowe , I do go out

And by the   time I come back,.

Home is full of gas, dogs   and thieves

 

One day I put   salt in coffee  instead of sugar

Made   idlis   with thick curd you had left

Tried to make  chapathi  with maida
And Upma  with  idli rava

 

Oh please   darling , I wanted  to suggest  you

Request  your parents  to shift  next door

Or take me   every time   with you when you go

For unless you do it , both me and home  may not be there

 

But when you came back  with kids from there

And ask me  , “How was life   when I am not there”

I tell, “It was indeed   seventh heaven,

Why did you come so early”


Be Hospitable ,Even hungry man has pride

 Be  Hospitable  ,Even hungry  man has pride

 

Translated by

P.R..Ramachander

 


Instead  of asking  “Have you taken food?”

 

With  adamancy   again and again tell .

“Please  Take food”

This will be sign  of hospitability

 

If You ask a hungry man

He will only feel like

Saying “Yes  , please.”

 

Even hunger has

Respectability and pride please

Speciality of Coimbatore

Speciality  of  Coimbatore

Deaths are many in old age

Deaths are many in old age

 

By

P.R.Ramachander

 

(I got this idea by reading a tamil face book post, Thanks to him)

 


Some friend send a message  ,

Our great  friend Anonymous   is no more

His kith and  kin   have ccome  from all over

And tomorrow   he   will  be cremated in royal way

 

I thought  is it true  , had he  not died,

Twenty   years  ago  when his wife died

And in the house  of his children,

No one   asked him “Had he  eaten his lunch?”

                                            Did any one find out?

 

Is it true  , had    he not died  ,

On a day when he   was sleeping

And his daughterin law  was screaming

Why did he  not follow her then itself?

                                              Did any one find out?

 

 

Is it true  , had he  not died,

When he  gave all he had  to his son

And his son  was Telling his friend  , does trees,

Bear  money, how will I look after this burden?

                                              Did any one find out?

 

 

Is it true  , had he not died ,

On that  day  , when he  went to toilet

His children were  discussing  seriously,

Which old age home  he should  be put.

                                              Did any one find out?

 

 

Is it true ,  had he not    died  ,

On the day  , when sitting  on park  bench,

His close   friend  teased  him,

“She has gone , your life is jolly”

                                            Did any one find out?

 

 

When you go for a walk  in tne evening, on your way

Several  people  like anonymous   will be sitting,

Stop for  a minute  , with sympathy and friendliness,

Ask  him “ Hey friend how are  you?”

Dedicated to all mother’s

 

Dedicated   to  all  mother’s

 

Translated with  tears  in eye

By  an old  granpa  of 84( P.R.Ramachander)

 

 


This mother  makes a moon

On a dosa   thawa

 

It may  be father’s home

But for us  it is n mother’s home  only

 

Mother’s  office  is in kitchen

Her  salary is  our  affection

 

Her  children  may  be working  abroad

But  in her house  neighbor’s children   are eating

 

Father  lives  below   sun

But mother  below  a moon

WE  find perfume  of moon  in her kitchen

 

If   we   fall sick  , we  do not  need medicine

Mother’s hand  which touches  our forehead often is more  than sufficient

 

Hey friends  who tease  us seeing  turmeric  mark on our new shirt

It  is  not just  turmeric but mother’s  turmeric

 

Mother’s expect in bag of son  who has  come from another place

Only   dirty   cloths   to wash

 

The  peace  and joy  for a son,

On whom  father  is angry

Is only  the lap  of mother

When mother  is sick with covid

She  is sad   that she  cannot   cook

 

The word  for home  in many  people’s

Dictionary  is  Mother

 

If  a man travels eighteen hours  and stuggles

There  is only  one reason –Mother

 

The begger   who invented to call “Oh mother”

Is  a genius   psychologist

 

You   can   deceive  mother  by telling any lie

But  not  the lie “ I have  already  eaten”

 

When very   rarely  son and father  chat  and laugh

Mother would  wipe her eyes  for dust  that has  not fallen

 

When   you pack  your  bag  to abroad

Mother packs  it tight  with  her affection

 

When school children have  to pay fees,

Kids  ask mother , for  she will get it some how
 Or  take  from father’s  packet  and  be scolded

 

Though  father and mother  are  inside home

WE knock  and call  “Oh mummy”

 

In all  the  poems  written about mother

There   will be two wet  drops  of tears

 

The  great  slogan  of  all  mother’s  are

My  child cannot tolerate  hunger

Ideally integrated humble research (IIHR)

 Ideally   integrated humble  research (IIHR)

 

 By'

P.R.Ramachander



People  always talked  of farmers,

And  expressed  sorrow   that they  were poor

But  none  of them talked about Horticulturists

Because   they   always   thought  they were  rich

 

Income  from vegetable crops  varied from  very low to high

Income   of   Fruit crops  depended  on season of yield,

Income  from   flower  crops fluctuated due to cost  and season

And  medicinal  crops yielded nothing till  they became famous

 

The research   on these crops were   done  here  and there

And so there  was  a need to  pointed  investigations,

To increase  yields , protect them from pests   and diseases

Preserve  them  during off season and to generally modernize  their research

 

It took   twenty  years   for   the   great  country  India

To start a  centre  where  research on all  this was done

And it got started   near the great  lake  near Bangalore

But without  any  place for people    to sit and work

 

They   did  a search   for  a man to lead  and execute this dream ,

And  found  a great  Sardar Randawa  who started  to Run   and  do the  workRandhawa)

And  with a   great effort  , he found  a  place

That  was   in  the  upper  parts  of  the palace garden

 

The sardar  true   to his name  started    selection

Of a  great  team   who  will work   with dedication

And  to build  and equip  great  laboratories  ,

And also  choose   a  team for such  a job

 

He  found , Doctor   Chadha  to help  him  with fruit crops

Doctor  Premnath   to help  him   with  vegetable crops

Doctor  Negi for  flower  crops  , Doctor TRS  to  set up labs

Doctor   Sohi  and  Doctor Prasad  to  protect  all  the crops

 

Within a  few  years  the  land  given to them

Became  green with very  many  vegetable   crops,

Large  number  of tree crops  which   took time  to grow

And  the flower  crops  which stole     the mind  of visitors

 

New crop  divisions  , and new   lab   divisions  soon came

Doctor  Krishnan started   the  medicinal crop division

The labs  of  physiology and  Biochemstry to  investigate nature  of Crops

Post  harvest  division to  preserve    the   crops  harvested were  set  up.

 

These  doctors   who    ran   the  institute  felt,

That  the tree should have many  more branches

The divisions  of Extension  , division  of  Economics and statistics

The  division of agriculture  engineering  and Biotechnology  were  set up

 

Very  many  great  scientists   were  selected  and 

This  Great  Institution went  on  releasing ,

Sweet fruits  , tastey   vegetables  , pretty  flowers,

And Health preserving  medicinal    crops

 

Many  new   directors   who lead  the  institute  came

And   it was  known   all  over   the  world,

That this great centre  made  india self  sufficient  in horticultural crops

And  put in great  seeds   for export of  many crops   rather  than their import

An old Man also is OK

An old  Man also is OK

 

Transcreated  by

P.R.Ramachander

 


Some people  consider  old age,

As a guest  whom they do not need

With  negative     thoughts every second

They would  live, scared of their next day of life

 

There  are some others   , who do not fear

They think fear is just like   a cobweb,

Which   should be cleaned  ,

With   courage  and positive thoughts

 

There  are others who keep on thinking

That all the world  talks him as silly  old man

And   this makes them loose  all peace

And though not sick, they will be in hospital

 

Every  person   in world  has   worries

And the old  man is   another person

All that he has   to do  all the time is to

laugh at the comedian worry and  drive  him out

 

Yes,   we are old and  when you see others like you,

Do  great  things  which you feel you cannot

Do not be jealous  of   them  but ,appreciate them

Then enjoy  their joy and we should  grow great and healthy

 

Every   human being old   or young   will get sick

Like all  , consult the doctor    and obey him

May be   he will say  get it tested  or

Get it operated , obey him  you will be healthy again

 

Yes   you are old   and every one will  become old

You  feel  youngsters   are  not looking after you

With   a healthy  and proper  thought  process

You laugh   at them   and say .,Ok  boys , I am ok

Vallalar’s compassion for the living

 

Vallalar’s  compassion  for the living

 

By

Vallalar   Rama linga   adikal

 

Translated by

P.R.ramachander

 


If you do it in forenoon,

It  will  yield  in the afternoon

If you  eat   the flesh  ,

Of  another  being,

One  of the days  in future

You would get  killed,

This is truth

You  would undergo same suffering,

That the  soul   which  was  totured  ,

By you underwent  , this is definite,

And so do not do any sin
