Guest guest Posted August 21, 1998 Report Share Posted August 21, 1998 I sincerely thank all of you who took the efforts in answering my questions on the rites/practices of either Acharyas or Avatara Purushas. I was overwhelmed by all the nice words and praises that I have received on posting my sisters poems on this site. I am waiting to convey the same to her, and chances are she will definitely "lose-it" now. I thank all of you, and with a special thanks to Srimans Sadagopan and Ramesh Sarangapani. Sri.Varadhan, in our discussion on the Best Arca-murthi and Perumal, based on Divya Desams, mentioned Sri.Narasimhar of Sholingur. I have visited and prayed to this all-smiling and cheerful Perumal, and also Chinna-malai to pay respect to SriHanaumar, and I am surprised I overlooked him. My question pertains to if there is a specific reason as to why in most Perumal koils (based on my extremely limited knowledge) there is a sannidhi for Narasimhar (eg. Thirumalai, Thiruvarangam, Thiruvellikani). One does not find as many for other avatarams such as Matsya, koorma or Varaha or Vamana. I am not taking in to consideration Ramar, Krishnar avatarams. Yes, Varahar swami has one in Thirumalai. The second question is in regards to the temple adjoining Thiruvarangam, where Sri Kattu Azhagiya Singar resides. Yet another beautiful arca of Narasimhar. Could some one throw some light on the Sthala-Puranam of this place.
