Guest guest Posted May 23, 1999 Report Share Posted May 23, 1999 thoo nilA muRRam - part 10 - kuda mookku Dear bAgawathAs, There is no need to address this kshEthram as a kshEthram that is 2 miles south of such and such city, 6 miles west of this city and so on. Whereas all other kshEthrams are to be addressed with some reference co-ordinates. However, this "kuda mookku" is the origin of all the global co-ordinates. This place is also the nucleus of the entire universe as per purAnAs. It is very specially referred as the "prapanchatthiRkE nadu nAyagam Akiya kudanthai". ie., thiru kudanthai is the nucleus of this entire prapancham. We may not want to look into the scientific astronomy to probe this. There are many reasons this has to be. We may learn more and more from our purAnAs. There is an anubavam that is related to this name "kuda mookku". One of the puNNya theerttham associated with this kshEthram is known as "poRRAmarai" kuLam or "pon thAmaRai" kuLam or golden lotus tank. It is also known for safe keeping the "gene" in a "kumbam" or container (hence known as kumbakOnam in short "kudanthai") made out of the "sEr" or "wet-sand" taken from "thiruch chErai" (also one of the "108 DD", the abode of "thiru sAranAthan and sAra nAyaki" few miles away from here) during the "praLayam". Obviously, it was under the protection of Sri Amudhan. It was unearthed later for subsequent "shrustis". The "kshEthra mahimai" describes that the amirtham was stored in a "kudam" or vessel" and that such kudam floated all the way in the praLaya veLLam or the great floods and came down to this city. While in this city it took refuge under the holy feet of Sri Amudhan and was hidden in poRRAmarai tank. When it was time to unearth the amirtham dEvas searched everywhere and could not find it. After praying to Sri ArA amuthan, and as per the bagawath sankalpam of Sri ArA amuthan, the kudam revealed its place from deep down the earth under the pottrAmaRai tank. It revealed itself in such a way that the amirtham started to overflow through the neck or nose of the "kudam" in which it was stored. Hence this place is known as "kuda mookku". dEvAs can never forget this very "mookku" by which the amirtham overflowed showing its identity. Many may even say that since our Lord was the sole reason for the safekeeping of this amirtham, and as well making it available to dEvAs through "kuda mookku", HE is HIMself more sweeter than this "amirtham" and is known as "ArA amuthan", the nectar that is never saturated when consumed. The anubavam is such that Sri Amudhan is HIMself being an amirtham and is safelykept in this holy city which is the very uLLam of many of HIS adiyArs. Due to Sri ArA amuthan's own sankalpam this "ArA anubava amirtham" that was kept within ourselves so long, is now simply overflowing from the hearts and souls of HIS adiyArs revealing its identity. Hence in the next few days we intend to flood with this "anubava amirtham" from the bottom of our hearts.
