Fwd: SOME INFORMATION PLEASE

[Guest guest]

The distance between Trichy and Kulithalai is 40 Kms. The three temples

mentioned are not exactly in Kulitalai itself. The sampradaya method of

worship is to take a pratha snana in the aganda cauveri at Kulitalai and

worship the Kadambar NAthar at Kulitalai. Then cross the Cauveri by a road

bridge and go to the Eangoi Malai which is atop a hillock by noon. After

worship at Eangoi Malai. again cross the cauveri back to Kulitalai and

proceed to Ratnagiri which is on the Kulitalai Manapparai road. This temple

is atop a medium hill. You will have to walk up the hill which will take

atleast an hour. Kindly note that this is not all. You will also have to

visit the Simhapuriswarar at Karupattur 15 Kms from Kulitalai on the

Kulitalai Karur Highway, for arthajamun. Tha local samprodaya is to visit

all four temples in a single day. I give this info as i was a student of

vedanta at the local patasala a few years back.

> On Temple Tour, Srirangam

 

Namaste.

 

If there is enough time, I suggest the following:

When visiting Srirangam or any temple, imagine

yourself as an Alwar or a well known

Shiva/Ambaa-bhakta.

In Srirangam, early in the morning before Sunrise,

start by foot from Cauvery and walk towards the temple

before temple doors open. While in the temple and

while walking to the temple, remembering all the time

that one is pretending to be the great bhakta-Saint in

thought and deed.

If there is not enough time to do this, one may do the

pretending while visiting the temple, however short is

the duration possible.

 

With Kind Regards,

Raghava

You will require a minimum of 1 1/2 days to 2 days for the 9 temples.

 

Your best bet of being based centrally will be Mayiladuthurai (Mayavaram).

 

There is a decent hotel there. I think it is Malar. The accomomodation is not

bad at all.

 

You will need to do the following

 

Suryanaar Koil - For Suryan

Tingaloor - For Chandran

Vaitheeswaran Koil - For Angarakan

Tiruvengadu - For Budhan

Alangudi - For Guru

Kanjanoor - For Shukran

Tirunallar - For Sani

Kizhperumpalam - For Ketu

Tiru nageswaram - For Rahu

 

I would suggest an iterinary but I might be wrong. Malar has a board in its

reception itself which details directions, distances etc. A very good idea would

be to talk to the local tour operators in Malar itself. They are quite helpful.
