Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 THIRUVAHEENDRAPURAM: This Divya desham is mentioned in brahmandapurana, skandapurana, As per skandapurana, devas pleaded for gods help when asuras defeated them. The lord then used his sudarsana and destroyed all the asuras. Realising that paramatama has come to their help, shiva who came to help asuras then surrendered. The lord then gave darshan to shiva as " TRIMOORTHI SWAROOPA (Moovaragiya Oruvan)". At the request of devas and rishis . The paramatma stayed here and took the name DEVANATHAN . the archa avataram of SrIman Narayanan .. This kshetra is called Tiru Aheendrapuram as it was conceived and constructed by adishesha . Garuda and Adhishesha brought Viraja and Patala ganga threertams to this kshetra . These are used for thriumanjanams and making prasadams (thaligai) for the perumal ans thayar. The vimAnam is similar to the suddhasatva vimanam at vaikuntam . Stone inscriptions in the temple refer to the deity as 'Ninraruliya Mahavishnu' and 'Ezhisai naada perumaan' This kshetra is also favorite to our swami Desikan , as our swami will be presenting rathanangi to perumal during the Tamil month of puratassi/ Iypaasi . Our swami Desikan worshipped Garuda atop the gill Oushadhagiri hill that is near the temple and was blessed there with Hayagriva mantram and vigraham of Yoga hayagriva. There is temple for Lakshmi Hayagriva perumal atop that hill. The hill has 74 steps which signifies 74 simhasanapathies established by Swami Bashyakara . Markandeya maharishi did penance here and our Devanathan married the daughter of the Maharishi , HemAbhjavalli and both the father-in-law and the bride of the of the Lord took their place on either side of the perumal . There are sannidhis for Chakarvarthi Thirumagan and Raajagopalan here . Long time ago their was swami namazhwar's idol was discovered under a tree . Hence there are two idols of swami namazhwar in His sannidhi . Their is a sannidhi for our Swami Desikan and the dazzling beauty of the vigraha of our swami is beyond description . This is a vigraham constructed by our swami himself , when some one challenged our swami on his title of Sarvathatra Swatantra .
