ardhanareeshwera namanskarams

[Guest guest]

Meenkulathi mataye saranam,

i am a humble devotee and i am ignorant about any upasana. i visit temples.

There is one ardhanareeswara temple in thiruchengode near Selam. That temple is

located on a mountain top. and the swami is about 6feet high with a big kumkum

and adorned face. and half the part is dressed in shiva's form that is soman and

with all the shiva's aayudam and the other half is dressed as devi in saree and

with her aayudhams. and that temple is worthseeing. and we get the theertham

from the feet of shiva it is real padodakam shubham theertham. and the theertam

comes from the groundspring form and it always flows thouching Lord's feet. and

this is given as theetham to devotees.and one can reach mountain by ar or bus

and one can walk also upto to the sannithanam

devi saranam m.s.iyer

Namaste,

 

I would like to share what I feel about this episode.

 

When hiranyagarbha, conceived the idea of a human body,

he became a man. When he started contemplating on how the

corresponding female form should be, shri rudra helped

him by assuming the ardhanArI form. The point to be made

here is: male and female forms of species are dual of one

another. Define one and you have already defined the

other. shri rudra, who very well understood this duality,

showed hiranyagarbha that since he has come up with the

human male form, this is what the counterpart should be like.

 

Best regards

Shrinivas Gadkari
