ThrumOhur is 7 miles East from Mathurai in a different direction from ThirumAlirumchOlai . ThirumOhUr KaaLamEgha PerumAl & Mohana Valli ********************************************************************* Here KaaLamEgha PerimAL , Mohana Valli ( ThirumOhUr Valli) bless us with their darsanam from under Kethaki Vimanam on the banks of KsheerAbdhi PushkaraNi. The PerumAL is prathyaksham to Brahma and Rudran . Kethanki is the name for BalarAman . ThirumOhUr Paasurams of Swamy NammAzhwAr ***************************************************************** There are 11 Paasurams by Swamy NammAzhwAr and one paasuram by Thirumangai in SiRiya Thirumadal , where he combines the Mangala AasAsanam for ThirumOhUr with that of Azhagar at ThirumAlirumchOlai . At the very end of His ThiruvAimozhi (TVM 10.1) , Swamy NammAzhwAr declares that He has no recourse other than KaaLamEgha PerumAL at ThirumOhUr: " KaaLamEhatthai anRi maRRonRilam gathyE " (ananyagathithvam) . " ThirumOhUr Aatthan tAmarai adi anRi maRRilam araNE "(ananya rakshakathvam). " ThirumOhUr naNitthu nammudai nallaraN nAmmadainthanamE "(MahA ViswAsam). Swamy NammAzhwAr performs UpadEsam for us about this dhivya dEsam to gain Moksham : " ThirumOhUr naamamE navinru yeNNumin yEtthumin namarkAL " The meanings of Swamy NammAzhwAr's 11 moving paasurams on Sri KaalamEgha PerumAL are available at : http://www.ibibilo.org/sripedia They are at the Oppiliappan archives of June 2003 ( Message0029 ). Lord Sudarsanar at ThirumOhUr ****************************************** The description of the Vara PrasAdhi Sudarsana AzhwAr at ThirumOhur can also be accessed there ( Messages 00024 and 00027) . This dhivya desam's Sudarsanar archai has 16 Hands and sixteen weapons in those hands . The agni jwAlais around Him and His dynamic pose in PrathyAleeDam are mesmerizing . One has to recite Swamy Desikan's entire ShOdasAyudha SthOthram in front of Him to pay tribute to His full power : sva-sanklapa kalaa kalpai: Aayudhai: AayudhEswara: jushDa: shODasibhir dhivyair jushathAm Va: Para: PumAn ---SlOkam 1, ShOdasAyudha SthOthram ( Meaning) : May the Prama Purushan and the King of Sixteen weapons serving Him bless You with all soubhAgyams and fill your hearts with joy ! These sixteen weapons are a small portion of EmperumAn's sankalpa sakthi .( It is indicated by the SasthrAs that Bhagavan's sankalpam took the form of SudrsanAzhwAn) . Further , Swamy Desikan's SudarsanAshtakam , ThiruvAimozhi 7.4 as well as Sudarsana Sathakam of Sri Koora NaarAyaNa Jeeyar should be recited in front of Sudarsana BhagavAn . Archives contain postings on most of them . For accessing these messages , please use the above URL and then go to e-mail archives section of Oppiliappan and then and do a search against the subject of Thirumohur . There is a wealth of Information on ThirumOhUr dhivya dEsam assembled in the above three messages . Hence adiyEn wont describe further the enjoyment of the dhivya darsanam of ThirumOhur Aapthan and Maarga Bhandhu here . Incomplete postings on Sudarsana Sathakam are also available at Oppiliappan Archives of Sripedia : http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/aoppiliappan/archives/jun03/msg.00060 The Sudarsana-Narasimha Tatthvam behind the Joint Sudarsana- Narasimha Moortham is available for you at : http://www.srivaishnava.org/sgati Volume I Issue 8 , Nov 1997 (Author : Dr.M.Rangaswamy) . Nrasimha-Sudarsana Tathvam **************************************** The Narasimha Moortham on the back of Sudarsanar Uthsavar is not detatchable for seperate Thirumanjanam purposes as at the new temple of PuzhuthivAkkam (MadipAkkam ) near Chennai . This Moortham of Sudarsanar at ThirumOhUr is revered as Maarga Bhandhu (Vazhi ThuNaivan) by the Truck drivers who ply the National route passing via ThirumOhUr . Archai of KaaLamEgha PerumAL ****************************************** Sri KaaLamEgha PerumAL has Gadhai on His lower left hand like Lord VaradarAjar at Kaanchipuram . This KshEthram is recognized as the place , where Mohini dazzled the asuras and distributed amrutham exclusively to DevAs . Hence The KshEtham is called Thiru MohUr . The PushkaraNi is KsheerAbdhi and it reminds us of the Milky Ocean from which nectar arose with the help of Sriman NarayaNan . ThAyAr's name is Mohana Valli , who enchanted the PerumAL taking Mohani avathAram once . The archakars are very helpful at this dhivya dEsam . This dEvasthAnam manages the administrative affairs of Yaanai Malai Singa PirAn's cave temple . That is where we headed next this late morning . Yaanai Malai Narasimhar ******************************* This is a Yoga Narasimha Temple carved out of a cave of Yaanai Malai . It is 8 KM from Mathurai between Azhagar Koil in the North and ThirumOhUr in the East . Yoga Narasimhar Temple is situated on the western side of Yaanai Malai , a hill shaped in the form of an elephant with stretched out trunk. The temple is in a village called Narasingam . This temple was built by a Minister of Pandyan King Jadiala Varaman in the year 770 A.D .The Minister's name is MaaRan Kaari . Sthala PurANam of this Narasimha KshEthram ************************************************************* Sthala PurANam states that the original Bhagavan appeared in response to the prayer of Sage Romasa for progeny in the cave where the sannidhi of Narasimhar is today . The Lord who appeared before the sage had the form of Ugra Narasimhar and the heat from that Moortham was too intense to bear.The sage prayed to PrahlAdhan to mitigate the heat emanating from Ugra Narasimhar. PrahlAdhar was able to help a little . The heat was still intense . The sage prayed next to MahA Lakshmi for intervention . She arrived and quenched the Lord's ugra Jwaalais . She is worshipped as Narasinga Valli at this temple and She has a big Moolavar Mortham and Her Sannidhi faces South at the entrance of the temple .PerumAL uthsavar is also big in size ( 6 Feet) . Right now , BalAlayam is taking place in the context of approaching SamprOkshaNam . As a result of the intervention of MahA Lakshmi , Ugra Narasimhan transformed Himself in to soumya Yoga Narasimhan form as at ShOLingar (Thirukkadikai ) hills . The Uthsavar here is in standing form with Gadhai and abhaya hastham . Narasimha Jayanthi celebrations are well known at this KshEthram . Sri KaalamEghar Of ThirumOhUr dehivya dEam visits SingapirAn on Maasi Maham day . Thirukkoodal Dhivya Desam ************************************ After resting in the afternoon , adiyEn arrived at Thirukkoodal temple in the center of Mathurai city during the evening . This dhivya dEsam is Known as Mathurai Koodal Azhagar Sannidhi .The Vimanam is AshtAnga VimAnam . Moolavar faces East in sitting posture . ThAyAr has four names : VaguLa Valli , Maragatha Valli , VaraguNa Valli and Mathurai Valli . PushkaraNi is Hema PushkaraNi and the Lord is Prathyaksham to Bhrigu Maharishi , Sage Sounaka and PeriyAzhwAr. Thirumangai and Thirumazhisai have performed MangaLAsAsanam with one paasuram each . PallANDu of PeriyAzhwAr was born here as PeriyAzhwAr was being taken on the back of the royal elephant around the Raaja Veethis of Koodal Azhagar after AzhwAr won the bag of gold thru the etablishment of the Parathvam of Sriman NaarAyaNan . PerumAL with Parijanams appeared in the sky on the back of Garudan and Ubhaya NaacchimArs to enjoy the sight of His bhakthan being honored for his victory in the Raaja Sabha by establishing His Supermacy . PeriyAzhwAr was ecstatic over the darsana soubhAgyam of the Lord with his own physical eyes on this earth and sang PallANDu to ward off the effects of any evil eye that might fall on the Lord . PallANDu is a prayer for the Lord's Svaroopam , Roopam , GuNa and IswaryangaL to stay forever without dimunition and for a long , long life for the Lord . In his PallANDu , PeriyAzhwAr performed his own MangaLAsAsanam for the Lord thru the first two Paasurams . Not being content with that , AzhwAr invited thru the next 3 Paasurams Bhagavath SaraNArthis , Kevalar and IswaryArthis to join in the PallANDu for the Lord . During the next three paasurams the above set of adhikAris are seen to unite with AzhwAr (Aaahuthars become sangathars). In the final three Paasurams , all of them unite to sing about the Vaibhavam of the Lord and His Parijanams .. The last Paasuram is the Phalasruthi Paasuram . The Phala Sruthi Paasuram of ThiruppallANDu *********************************************************** PallANDenRu Pavithiranaip-ParamEttiyai, Saarngamennum villANDAn Tannai VilliputthUr Vittuchittthan virumbiya soll, nallANDenRu navinRu-uraippAr NAMO NAARAAYANAAYAVENRU PallANDum ParamAthmanaic-chUznthu irunthu yEtthuvAr PallANDE Upanishad BhAshyakArar's Commentary on this Paasuram **************************************************************************** " Paavana-tamam ParamEshtiNam Saarnga-nAma-dhanurdharam SwAminam , Srinavyadhanva puravAsinA Sri VishNuchitthEna PallANDu ithyAdhi roopENa sAnurAgam krutham kaimkarya- roopamEnam MangaLAsAsana Prabhandham abhyasya asmAkam sameechinOayam vathsara ithim anusandhAnA: ananudhtithOpAyAscchEth PrapatthimanushtAya , anushitithOpAyAsccha bhOgyataya YaavacchareerapAtham dhvayam anusandhatha: dEhapAthAnantharasccha ParamAtmAnam paravruthyAvasTithaa: sarvAn kaalAn ithyAdhi gATAmanusandhadheeran , Jithanatha ithivath , " yEthath SaamagAyAnnAsthE " ithi hi SrUyathE " . Here , Upanishad BhAshyakArar summarizes the Phalans from the MangaLAsAsanam of PeriyAzhwAr's PallANDu Phala Sruthi Paasuram : Our Lord is by nature ( svabhAvamAhavE ) Parisuddhan. He is established in the dhivya SthAnam of Sri Vaikuntam . PeriyAzhwAr (VishNu Chitthar ) of Sri VilliputthUr sang PallANDu to this Lord having Saarngam as His celebrated bow. Those who recite this PallANDu dhivya Prabhandham composed with highest order of Bhagavath bhakthi and in the mode of Kaimkaryam to Him by VishNu CHitthar will grant all soubhAgyams be they people , who have done Prapatthi or not . If they have not performed Prapatthi , htey will complete UpAya anushtAanam and if they have completed Prapatthi , it will let them recite Dhvayam as long as they leave their body here and let them recite at Sri Vaikuntam Jitham tE sthOthram and Saama GhAnam at all times front of Sriman NaarAyaNan surrounded by His sakala ParivAram there . With these thoughts ringing in adiyEn's mind , adiyEn engaged in NidhrA yOgam and got ready to travel next day to PeriyAzhwAr's Sri VilliputthUr for the Mutthangi SamarpaNa Uthsavam .
