Temple Where Shiva Changes Colors Five Times A Day

I have posted articles on how the rays of the Sun touch the Idol in the sanctum, the shadow of the Idol is present all day, the list is long.

There is an ancient temple near Myiladuthurai, where The Lord Shiva's Idol changes its colors five times a day coinciding with the Kala Pooja, the poojas conducted at fixed hours daily.

Located near Valangaiman/Papanasam near Mayuram,Kalyanasundareswarars?Pancha Varneswarar temple,The Self born idol of Lord Shiva changes colors Five times a Day during the day.

Another unique feature is that there are two Shiv Lingas in the sanctum

The devotees are Blessed with the 'Satari', A Vaishnava Practice, as this is the place where Lord Shiva Saint Thirunavukkarasar had the Darshan of the Lord's feet.

Why Siva Muruga Have No Dynasties

1.Why Shiva and Muruga do not have Dynasties?

2.Why does not it continue in the Kaliyug?

1.In Hindusim most of the Gods mentioned are symbolic representations of the principles of Nature.

Vishnu the Kinetic Energy,Shiva The Potential Energy,Manmatha as the embodiment of sexual desire,Goddess Parvati as the dormant energy of the Macrocosm and the Microcosm.

However, the same principles represented as Gods have also descended to the earth as Avatars.

When an Avatar as a Human Being takes place, the Gods are also bound by the laws applicable to Man.

They undergo the whole process that Man goes through.

So we have Lord Ram and Krishna getting married , having children, winning and losing wars and dying.

If they had not been born( I am not sure my grammar is correct here), they would not have had to undergo the tails and tribulations of Man.

By definition Gods in Hinduism have some basic qualities that qualify their existence.

1.Their feet will not touch the ground.

2.Their eyelids do not blink.

3. Garland adorned by them will not wither away.

4.They do not have sexual intercourse through Genital Organs.

If one notices, Brahma was born out of the navel,Nabhi, of Vishnu,Subrahmanya, Muruga was born of the third Eye of Lord Shiva and Ganapati from essence of Parvati's whole body.

So in the strictest Human sense Sybramanya, Ganapati are not the progeny of Lord Shiva, unlike Lava, Kusa,sons of Lord Ram or Pathyumna or Samba of Lord Krishna.
