Thirukacchi Nambi ThiruNakshatram at Poondamalli

February 25, 1999

Its adiyens privilege to post the following note received from Sri.Arvind. I was

happy to know that Sri.Arvind was able to visit this koil, and am of the hope

that it becomes a regular visit. (Nice to be getting bhagavathas to admire and

pray to Sri.Varadaraja Perumal, maybe he is the "Chinna" Perumal, since the

Periya Varadaraja Perumal is in Kanchipuram).

Respected Sir,

We were delighted to enjoy your article about Nambi's thirunatshatiram and

also about Shri Pushpavalli sametha Shri Deva Perumal temple at Poondamalle.

We were blessed with the good fortune of going to this temple, for

concluding day utsavam(10 days). The sannidhi's and the prakarams were very

crowded. Infact to have darshan of Nambi(Moolavar) and Shri DevaPerumal it

should taken atleast half an hour in the queue( at 10pm !) . Lot of

Bhagavathas had come from in and around villages.Their devotion to Nambi was

something which adiyen could only envy. A musical concert was also

arranged.

The temple was renovated, and painted nicely. ARangan(moolar) was

beautifully adored with a Velhi kavasam. Some blessed devotee had sponsored

this kainkariyam 6 months back. The Velhi Kavasam of AdiShesan was also

completed and inagurated on Nambi's thirunatshatiram, yesterday. A new

Kannadi arai was also constucted. Thirumanjanam for Nambi was performed and

Nambi was prepared for Vedhi Ula by about 11 pm, when we returned back home.

Due to office compulsion, we could not be present today(25th Feb) at

11am(IST) to honour thirtham.

It was a suprising experience, since we never knew that such a big temple

exists at Poondamalli.

Having read your article, adiyen was prompted to share our experiences with

your humble self.
