ThirunaRaiyoor - garudan, naRaiyoor nambi and nambikkai naachiyaar kainkaryams - Part 5

[Guest guest]

Once a vaitheeka Brahmachaari was so eager to visit all the 108 DD's. However,

he was not able to do so in the course of time and he cried out to this Lord of

NaRaiyoor and plaeded to HIM for help. he "beleived" this Lord "nambi" and

"nambikkai naayaki" (nambi in tamil means beleive) who appeared and offered

his darshan of all 108 DD's in his dream and also told him that he is being

given with the iconised vigrahams of archaamoorthis of all the 108 DD's. When

he woke up from the dream he saw the 108 archa vigrahams in his place and he

performed arradhanai with great devotion to these vigrahams. During his end, he

left these vigrahmas with the temple and one can see all the 108 archa

vigrahams that were presented by the Lord HIMself even to day in this temple.

Thus this Lord and naachchiyaar are varap prasaadhi for those who beleived THEM

and give boon to every sincere bakthaa without any delay. And this has been

happening ever since methaavi maharishi and untill now. We must seek THEIR

blessings on this holy day of paNgunai uththiram by doing or pledging to do

some bagwath kainkaryam for this Lord.

The street in which the Car (or thEr) of this Lord goes will be rich

with the contents of vedaas in it. The pity is that this car is not

running now with such great efforts that thirumangai once had provided, and

the temple needs to be supported with sufficient

funds. It is told that it was a dark day in early seventies when this

temple was shut down for a day for non payment of Levy by the Lessee

thus not offering the very prasaadham to the Lord who HIMself

emphasised the importance of this through pancha samaskaaram, . It is a pity

that it was also the same Lord who helped the aazwaar pay the Levy to the King.

This History may not be repeated again. But it is also our desire that the

kainkaryams of this temple be supported by us by raising adequate funds (approx

$ 2000 US) and supporting this temple on these special occassions atleast. ie

such as car festival, desikar ursavam, Garuda sErvai. The baagawathaa who is

organising the dEsikan festival (by forimg a trust in India) had already made

his request for a financial support from me and also suggested to raise money

for car festival. It was so nice when I called home 2 days back to hear that 45

the Jeer was present for the kal garida sErvai this time. Already a few poeple

had consented for supporting this. Number of fellow srivaishnavaa sent me

personal mail on these posts on thirunaRaiyoor and I thank them for their

interest and faith on this Lord of thiru naRaiyoor and I hope that they and

other bakthass as well will come forward to fulfill this task. Meanwhile I

had already requested Sri Jagan nath to open an account head for naachiyaar

kOil garuda sErvai etc. Sri PDileepan had already pleadged his support of 108 $

and I request all the bakthaas who enjoyed the vaibavam of the Lord and read

the mahaathmiyam of Sri Garuda and the vaibavam of thirumangai to come forward

to support this thirup paNi for thiru naRaiyoor Lord and obtain HIS blessings.

 

I conclude my posts on ThirunaRaiyoor on this paNguni utthiram day the birth

day of thaayaar periya piraati and nambikkai naachchiyaar of naachchiyaar kOil

whom I beleive will clear all our vinais.
