Tirupputkuzhi Divya Desam

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

Tirupputkuzhi is one of the 108 Divya Desams with a special

significance.

This is the place where Sri Ramanujar studied Vedanta under

Yadavaprakasa.

This kshetram is also known for the great sacrifice by Jatayu, the king

of

birds. When Ravanan kidnapped Sita, it was Jatayu who came to her rescue

 

on hearing her cries for help. Ravanan defeats Jatayu in a great batle

and

recounts the incident to Lord Rama before departing this world. Sri Rama

inturn

grants moksham to Jatayu and as per his request resides at this kshetram

 

as Vijayraghava (on return from Lanka).

days to come.
