Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 Dear BhAgavathAs We worship Mahalaxmi keeping to the right of the Lord Narayana (Vala mArbinil vAzhgindra Mangaiyum). This can be seen invariably in all archA murthys of Sriman NArAyanA. Similar to this, ThAyAr sannadhi in temples in Tamil Nadu also placed to the right of the perumal sannadhi. But in Karnataka and some temples in AP ThAyAr sannadhi is located to the left of PerumAl sannadhi ( similar to that of shaivaite sampradhayam in TN). Urchava murthy of Thayar (like in Ram and Sita) also placed to the left of the Lord Narayanan in all utsavams. Is there any mention about this in Ramanujacharya's Koil Ozhugu and in his other works? ..I think, placement of ThAyAr interchangely (left or right) is not Sri vaishnava sampradhAyam. Then why there is a difference. I request bhAgavatAs enlighten me on the subject. Namo Narayana Adiyen K Balaji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 Dear Sri K Balaji, You wrote: >But in Karnataka and some temples in AP ThAyAr sannadhi is located to >the left of PerumAl sannadhi This difference in position of thAyar is specific to some temples in Karnataka. Adiyen is not sure about the position of thAyar in AP. You can see this difference in Nambi Naarayanar Koil in Thodanur (about 12 kms from Melukote). There is also Nambi Naarayanar Sannidhi in Krishnar Koil,11th Cross,Malleswaram,Bangalore. You may want to have a darshanam of Nambi Naarayanar there. The Reason : Nambi Naarayanar has the chakram in his right hand and shang in his left hand. While other forms of perumal like Thiruvengadan , Aaramudhan etc have chakram in left hand and shang in right hand. This is because Nambi Naarayanr is performing samaashrayanam to his bhakta. ==I have forgotten the name and details== but this is the reason why Nambi Naarayanar has chakram and shang inter-changed. This is also the reason why thAyar in Nambi Naarayanar Sannidhi is on the left side of Perumal. +++This is what adiyen can think of, but adiyen is not sure that this may be a befitting reply to your question. I request vaidikas to provide some pramAnam/explanation for the position inter-change+++ Sri Balaji, you may wish to consult Koil Bhattar who are well versed in Pancharaatra Aagamams (Protocols of worship).
