Guest guest Posted August 2, 1997 Report Share Posted August 2, 1997 Dear Bhagavatha-s, On July 24, I came across this notice in the Hindu. I think it is my duty to mention it here. Hari Om, srikanth - || SRI RAMA JAYAM || AN APPEAL FOR A NOBLE CAUSE Thirupovanur, also known as Punnagavankshetram, is on the banks of the river Pamini between Needamangalam and Mannargudi, in Tanjore. Here lies an ancient shrine, dedicated to Lord Varadaraja, with an unknown origin. This place is hallowed by the worship of Jatayu, sage Markandeya and other sages. About 500 years ago the saint-composer Bodendra Swamigal had a divine vision of Lord Rama and on His instructions unearthed a beautiful statue of the God, his consort Sri Sita and Sri Lakshmana and installed the deity. The presiding deity has showered His grace on His devotees. After consectration of Lord Rama by sage Bodendra, the temple came to be known as Poovanur Sri Ramar Temple. The shrine is quite unique to prove the oneness of Shiva and Vishnu. It also houses Lord Muneeswara. The temple was patronized by Tanjore Maratha kings. The utsava idols were donated by the queen and the original idols can be found at the Sri Rama Temple. The temple now needs urgent renovation. The state government has shown interest in renovating this temple. As this involves a huge expenditure we need your assistence for this noble cause. To undertake this activity, a association has been formed with Nataka Kavalar R. S. Manohar as the chairperson under the aegis of Ramanjaneya Bhakta Samajam. Send in your donations to... SRI RAMANJANEYA BHAKTA SABHA c/o R. S. Manohar "Suraj" 76, Sriram Colony Chennai- 600 018 ---- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am extremely sorry for the lapse: please read the first line in lower case as:- "Thirupoovanur, also known as Punnagavanakshetram, is on the banks..." --------------- Please let me add my heartfelt thanks to Shri Sudarshan for having shared his thoughts on Bheeshma Sthuti in his typically captivating style of language. I wish him all the best in his future endeavours! Hari Om, srikanth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
