Kurichi Temple of Perundevi Nayika Sametha Sri Abheeshta Varadaraja Perumal

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dear BhakthAs :

 

I am enclosing a note from Sri man V.Seshadri of

T.Nagar , whose family hails from the famous

village of Kurucchi , which is near Raaja MannArgudi .

 

This village near a tribituary of River Cauveri is an

ancient center of Sri VaishNavaas , who were experts in

Tarkam , VyAkaraNam , Vedam , Dhivya Prabahndham ,

Sri BhAshyam and other Sri Sookthis . Similar agrahAram

is at Naaval Paakkam , where even today the Veda Paramparai

flourishes .

 

In this utthama agrahAram of Kurucchi was a flourishing temple

for Sri PerumdEvi ThAyAr SamEtha Sri Abheeshta VaradarAjan , whose

moolava moorthy you can enjoy at the bottom of this note . After

the Vedic scholars left such villages to the cities , these villages

and their temples were neglected due to lack of archakAs , resident

Scholars and funds . Kurucchi is no exception to these trends .

Today , number of descendants of Kurucchi scholars have

rasied approximately 2 Laks of Rupees between themselves

and have performed BalAlayam . They would like to complete

a modest Sannidhi to begin with to complete the Prathishtai .

Sriman Venkat Seshadri of T.Nagar , Chennai is looking to

identify like minded aasthikAs to help inn the reconstruction of

this sannidhi at Kurucchi . Please contact him and support his

welcome efforts . His telephone number at chennai is:

2-814-4769 . He is at 14 Ashok Arpudha (new No.186) ,

Habibulla Road , Chennai 17 .

 

Thanks for your attention ,

V.Sadagopan

Dear Bhakthas- This is further to the kind

introduction of Sriman U.Ve.Sadagopan Swami. Appended

are a few details of the temple.

 

The temple houses the Divya Mangala Vigrahams of

Perundevi Thayar and Sri Abheeshta Varadaraja Perumal

and Ubhaya Nachimars. It atleast atleast 600 years

since the Avatharam of Perumal in this place. Per

Aroodam experts, worship at the kshetram rids one of

Pithru dosham and needless to add, confers all

prosperity on the devout.

 

Adiyen could not earlier have the good fortune of

visiting Kurichi since I was in Mumbai . Thanks to a

wonderful dream in which the Lord's sevai was

obtained, I felt an indescribable urge to leave for

Kurichi. The temple was crumbling and Iwas about just

in time to provide the wooden barricades on the beams

above the Lord's Divya Managala Vigrahams to prevent

any injury. The last Sri Vaishnava left the place

about 5 years back at a ripe age of 87 no longer being

able to continue on his own and post which the temle

was infested with snakes, bats and insects. By the

Lord's grace none of these harmed me and within a

short time, we were able to arrange for the Balalayam

and an Aradhakar. Difficult as it was to locate an

aradhakar swami who will settle in such a remote

village it was the arrangement of the all

-compassionate Lord who had himself arranged for an

aradhakar (thro a dream again wherein one of my

relatives known to the aradhakar swami was also

revealed and thro him the contact of the aradhakar

swami was obtained). This gave us the courage to go

ahead and build the temple since otherwise, there was

no point in building a temple without ensuring

continuity especially in a highly remote village. You

will be pleased to note that post regular aradhanam,

what was once a desert for over 80 acres has now

become a lush agricultural land with all 4 lakes

brimming with clear water and in the two rivers that

flow by.

Please see the photographs of the Lord attached.

 

Some of the Uthsava divya Mangala Vigrahams (Thayar,

Swami Nammalwar, Bhagavad Ramanuja and Swami

Desikan)are housed in a temple in Mannrgudi belonging

to another Vedic faith and can be retrived only after

the new temple is constructed and adequate security is

available.

Should you like to contribute to the noble cause of

temple contruction and equally importantly to be able

to look after the maintenance of the daily Aradhana,

please send your contribution per the following
