    பாதங்களை அடையும் போது வெந்நீர் குளிர்ச்சியாக மாறும் ,லக்ஷ்மி வெங்கடேஸ்வரா கப்பூர்

    இந்தியக் கோயில்கள் என்னை வியப்பில் ஆழ்த்துவதை ஒருபோதும் நிறுத்துவதில்லை. ஆன்மீக வலிமையின் ஆதாரங்களாக இருப்பதைத் தவிர, அவை கட்டிடக்கலை அதிசயங்களும் கூட. பல கோயில்கள் வானியல் ரீதியாக அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. சில கோவில்கள்வானியல் நிகழ்வுகளுடன் இணைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. சில கோயில்கள் ஒரே தீர்க்கரேகையில் சீரமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. பன்னிரண்டு ஜோதிர்லிங்கக் கோயில்கள் ஃபிபானோச்சிச்(Fibonacci) சுழலை உருவாக்குகின்றன. சூரியனின் கதிர்கள் ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட நேரத்தில் ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட இடத்தில் விழும் கோயில்கள் உள்ளன. சிவலிங்கம் ஒரு நாளைக்கு ஐந்து முறை நிறம் மாறும் கோயில்கள் உள்ளன…. பட்டியல் நீள்கிறது.

    இப்போது இந்த அற்புதமான கோவில்களில் மற்றொரு கூடுதல். கர்நாடகாவின் ராய்ச்சூர் மாவட்டத்தில் உள்ள கப்பூர் என்ற இடத்தில் லட்சுமி வெங்கடேஸ்வரா கோயில் உள்ளது. இந்த கோயில் குறைந்தது 800 ஆண்டுகள் பழமையானது. இது கல்யாண சக்குக்கியர்களால் கட்டப்பட்டது. இந்த கோவிலில் ஸ்ரீ வெங்கடேஸ்வரரைத் தவிர ஹனுமான் இருக்கிறார். இங்கு, வெந்நீரால் அபிஷேகம் செய்யப்படுகிறது, அது சிலையின் பாதத்தை அடையும் போது குளிர்ச்சியாக மாறும். நீராவி உயர்வதைக் காணலாம். இருப்பினும், வெந்நீர் பாதங்களில் ஊற்றப்படுகிறது, அது சூடாக இருக்கும்.

  • Three Hundred Thirty Two Festivals A Year Sri Rangam Renganathar

    Information about temples of India never ceases to amaze me.The intimacy with which God is related to by people is unique to Santana Dharma.

    Though the Vedas,one of the sources for Sanatana Dharma,enunciates the Concept of Reality as The One Beyond Attributes , A Principle that is beyond Mind , the worship, the emotional connect of people to God in Hinduism is beyond one’s comprehension, if one is not a practising Hindu. Realising Brahman, The Reality, as A Principle by various practices is Nirguna Aradhana, worshipping It one beyond Attributes,though the term worship is not correct in place of Aradhana.As Dwelling upon A principle that is beyond Attributes is ,it appears to human Mind,a tough proposition, Hinduism suggests the practice of relating to Personal God/ Goddess. This method is called Sabina Aradhana,that is relating to a Personal God,Iswara, with Name, Form and Attributes in Perfection/ In Full measure.The Name and form might be that of reator,sustainer,destroyer,Father,Mother,Lover,Spouse, …That depends on one’s likes . If you can easily connect to Mother, the Concept of God is Mother and all the qualities we find and we expect to find in Mother to our Happiness, those qualities are ascribed to God, in this case,Goddess.The same process applies to other relations as well.One connects to this form emotionally without any mental blocks and rationalisation as reason belongs to mind and not to 💓.One relates to this concept of God easily and strongly. This is the power of Saguna Aradhana. Hindu texts state that this mode of relating to the Reality, is akin to one doing pre Kindergarten before obtaining PhD. One can not get PhD, without kindergarten, though it might look unnecessary after obtaining PhD.Hindus sastras declare that when one relates to Reality through Sabina Archana thus, one would migrate to Nirguna Aradhana, without one realising it. Thus one one Experiences Reality. That is what Matters.

    So much the relationship between Man and God is, God is treated with all the attributes of Man and all emotions one undergoes, one’s elations, pains are ascribed to Him and they are celebrated in Temples. This includes The early morning waking up, Brushing up of teeth,taking bath…Not only this, God marries and it is celebrated. Though God is Eternal and Unborn, His Birthday is celebrated.

    Thus one finds Festivals in In Indian temples,celebrating these events,called Utsavams.The Utsavams are performed for the idol specially made . This is is different from the Deity in the Sanctum. The Deity in the Sanctum is never moved and the Deity is called Moolavar.Every temple has its festivals.And these Festivals are many, spread over the twelve months of a Year.

      While the world is agog with Mummified bodies in Egyptian pyramids, many are not aware that the remains of Sanatana Dharma philosopher is kept in the sanctum sanctorum in Sri Rangam Temple,Tamil Nadu.

      ‘Vaishnava philosopher and guru Ramanujacharya original body preserved inside Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, Srirangam, Tiruchinarpalli since 1137 CE.

    • Vyakthaa Self Manifested Vishnu Temples Astakshara Temples

      Vyakthaa Self Manifested Vishnu Temples Astakshara Temples

      Reality, according to Vedas is a Principle.

      It is called Brahman.

      It is beyond words,thoughts .

      It is indescribable,Avaktavya.

      However worship of God’s is also recommended in Hinduism and it is called Saguna Aradhana,while meditating on the Abstract is called Nirguna, Beyond Attributes, Aradhana.

      To reach this level is not easy for all.

      Therefore worship of Gods is recommended in the form of Idols.

      What is indescribable, Avaktavya, becomes Vyaktha, Describable when worships as God of Names and Forms in the form of Idols.

      Some of these Idols are called Self Manifested or Swambhu.

      There are Eight Self Manifested Idols of Lord Vishnu in Eight Sacred places.

      These are called Vyaktha Kshetras,that is where Lord Vishnu makes Himself available as Idol and thus becomes Describable.

      There are also called Astakshara Temples as they represent the eight letters of Vishnu’s Sacred Name,

      Om Namo Narayanaya.

      There also Dwadasa nama temples,after Vishnu’s twelve aksharas.

      Om Namo Bhagavathe Vasudevaya.

      In this verse Lord Narayana points out that the eight

      Vanamamalai, Salagramam, Badri,and NaimisharaNyam,Pushkar

    • Athi Venkateswara Different Musical Notes From Hanuman Vanmutti

      Athi Venkateswara Different Musical Notes From Hanuman Vanmutti

      There seems to be no end to the number of temples in India which are astonishing in terms of architectural marvels and special characteristics.

      And the contributions they make in rewriting Indian history.

      Though I have written on many such temples,this is one is quite surprising as I thought I have covered all such temples in and around Myladuthurai,Tamil Nadu.

      There is a temple near Myladuthurai dedicated to Vishnu as Vanmutti Perumal,which in Tamil means the God that touches the Heaven.

      This temple has the Idol made of Athi Tree as the one in Kanchipuram Varadaraja Perumal temple.

      The moolavar is Lord Vishnu and the Utsavar is Yoga Narasimha,which is a rarity.

      In addition,there is Hanuman,whose body parts emit different musical notes from different parts of His body!

      ‘Sri Srinivasa Perumal, Kozhikuthi bestows Peace, prosperity, happiness and wealth.

      The temple is more than 1400 years old. The presiding deity, Vanamutti Perumal is more than 12 feet tall and carved out of a single Athi (Fig) tree. According to legend, Vanamutti Perumal gave Viswaroopa Dharshan to Pippalar Maharishi…’

      This temple Moolavar is worshipped with Sani Gayathri every morning.

      This Gayatri is by Sage Pippala.

      Will be writing on Pippala Maharishi.

      ‘The Lord is made up of single Athi (Fig) tree with 4 hands holding Sangu, Chakram, Gadhai. TulasiMalai, Ornaments, were beautifully carved. The Vimanam looks like an Umbrella which is known as ‘Chathra Vimanam’. There is a beautiful shrine for Lord Yoga Narasimhar. Those who worship Lord Narasimhar would be cured of all their ailments and find relief from various problems...
      There is a beautiful shrine for Lord Anjaneya. The unique feature of this Lord Anjaneyar is that the tail is coiled with a bell which lies over the head of Anjaneyar. Here Anjaneyar is called Sapthaswara Anjaneyar since Seven Music notes are produced (Sa re ga ma pa dha nee.) when it is touched in different places. Many musicians used to visit the temple regularly. Musicians and dancers who lit the Ghee lamp is assured of success in their profession...
