Srimad Venkata lakshmaNa yativarAya namah.

 

 

Dear Sriman Madhavakkannan swAmin,

 

adiyen dasoham.

 

Thanks a lot for your detailed posting on Lord SampatkumAran. It also

cleared my doubt as to why this holy place is called dakshiNa badarI.

Visited this place in 99 march and spent one hour in His sannidhi.

 

I will try to post on how Sri Anandanpillai felt when he visited the divya

sthalam.

Sri:

Srimathe Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya namah:

Dear Sri Vishnu,

 

MelkOttai kshEthram- ThirunArAyaNa puram:

 

It is on the way between Bangalore and Mysore (12 miles from Paandava puram

Railway station) Buses go to top.

 

PerumAL: Moolavar: ThirunArAyaNan- Facing West.

Uthsavar: ChellappiLLai, Sampathkumar, Ramapriyar.

Thaayaar: Yadhugiri Nacchiyaar ;

 

At the Feet of PerumAL- Nacchiyaar Varanandhini (Bibi nacchiyar?).

 

Theertham: ashta theertham (KalyANi), dhanushkOti and Vedha pushkarani.

Vimanam: Anandha mayam (?)

Prathyaksham: Garudan

 

VisEsham: On the Hill, Nrusimhan, Desikan and Emperumaanaar can be

"sEvicchufied". Sri Ramanjuar's most favourite sthalam. Nanjeeyer (sishya of

Bhattar)'s avathara sthalam. ChANdilya Maharishi, with the anugraham of

Bahagawaan, had a darshan of BadrIkAshrama PerumAL here and hence this

kshEthram is called "dhakshiNa BadrIkashramam".

 

Thus, Those who can not go to Bardi can sEvicchufy" Badtri Narayanan here.

One can get puNyam of having gone to Badri.

 

BrahmA gave this PerumAL vigraham to Raman and Rama's son Kuchan (not

Lavan)had a daughter by name Kanaka maaligai was presented as a wedding gift

and the descendent of her was VasudEvar who performed ArAdhanam to this

PerumAL. Then Balaraman, KrishNan performed ArAdhanam says sthalapurANam.

 

Once, when VirOsanan (son of Prahalada) snatched away the crown of

KsheerAbhdhi nAthan Sriman Narayanan (who was reclining,having His Yoga

nithrA), Bhagawaan instructed GarudA to bring it back. GarudA won the fight

with Virosanan and got back the crown,- saw Lord KrishNan on the earth and

placed the crown on His Head. It did not fit properly. He placed on the

ArAdhana PerumAL Sri Rama priyar (Balarama priyar?) it fitted perfect.

 

GarudA however took it back, narrated the whole thing to Bhagawaan, who in

turn asked GarudA to place it on Sri Ramapriyar.

 

Since Garuda (VainathEyan) placed the kireetam (crown- Mudi), it is called

Vaina + mudi- Vaina mudi, and later transforms (maruvi) to be called

"Vairamudi". Even today, in the month of Panguni, Vaira mudi uthsavam is

celebrated GRAND. (This is from Lifco book on 108 Divya Desams).

 

This Moolavar and sthalam is discovered by Ramanuja. (Is that true?)

 

Another incident: When Sulthan took the wealth when he conquered, he took

this Sri Rama priyar too along with him. He gifted to his daughter. She feel

in love with the beauty of PerumAL and converses with Him. When Ramanuja

came to know later, he went to Delhi, met Sulthan, explained him the

divinity of PerumAL, and asked for Him. Sulthan was convinced and told

YathirAjar, "please take Him from my daughter. If she says okay, it is fine

for me.". Ramanuja went to her harem and saw Him in her place. Ramanuja

called "Sella PiLLaiyE! Vaarum" (my) darling Lord! Come!) Lo and behold! He

started walking to Ramanujar and climbed on his lap.

 

Happily Ramanuja came back to ThirunArAyaNa puram and consecrated the

PerumAL. Unable to bear the separation teh daugher also follwoed PerumAL and

united with the Lord at His sannidhi. Even today, one can see "Kutti"

(small) bigraham of Nacchiyar (Bibi Naachiyar) between His Feet who can not

be separated from Him. (This I had heard only)

Narayana Narayana
