TWO in ONE

[Guest guest]

Sri Muralidhara Rangaswamy, in his timely posting on Narasimha Jayanti said:

>>>There is also a Temple in Srirangam where the Murthis of Sudarshana

Chakram and Lord Narasimhar are seen in a single

Peetham .<<<

 

I have seen a similar Two in One (Narasimhar and Sudarshana Chakram) in the

Pandava Dhootar temple in Kanchi Puram.

 

I like to invite you all to the 2 in 1, Narasimha Jayanti and Madhura Kavi

Alwar Thirunakshatram (thanks Sri Ramaswamy for your timely posting)

celebrations at 7 PM on May 2 at the Cincinnati Hindu Temple (513-948-4586:

513-528-3714). The Puja will be performed by Sri Narayana Bhattar accompanied

by Sri Srinivasa Bhattar. The Bhattars native village Suggana Halli (Shuka

Puri of the Puranas) near Bangalore, has a temple of Narasimhar (in the

pillar) and Garudar. Apparently, nitya puja in this temple is performed fro

Garudar and most devotees visit only the Garudar in this temple.

 

Mr. Narayana Bhattar is an ardent Narasimha-aradhakar. We in Cincinnati feel

fortunate that Sri Narayana Bhattar will also be present during this

occassion.

 

Incidentally, Sri Shankara and Sri Ramanuja's thirunakshatram (2 in 1)went

on very well at our temple. Both sri Malolan and Sri Lakshmi Narasimhan (2

in 1) of the Prapatti group partcipated and enriched the celebration.
