When Siva offered a boon to Banasura, that whoever gets touched by him

(banasura) will be burned, Banasura wanted to test the boon. So he

tried to touch Siva himself to test. Out of fear Siva ran and

surrendered to Vishnu to save him. Vishnu protected Siva by taking the

Mohana avataram and appeared in front of Banasuran and mesmerised him

to touch his head, by himself and he got burnt. This touching of siva

is the posture in which He protected the surrendered siva.

 

Many of the present day saivaites, have added a flower in the photos

(though this is not a case in thiruvananthapuram itself) to say that

sri padmanabha swamy is worshipping Siva.

 

"WELL THE TALES OF SAIVITES AGAINST VISHNU IS ALWAYS EVOLVING".

SrI:

please accept adiyen's humble pranam

the present mulavar at thriuvanantha puram is not the

one seen by Azhwar, the old murtham was belived to be

made of wood. in 1750 after the problems regarding the

successions then prince Martanda Varma of the

Travancore Kingdom, in a spectacular ceremony

surrendered the kingdom to SrIpadmanAbha, and then

onwards all the kings are known as SrI padmanabha

dAsa. it was during marthaNda varmAs time, the temple

got completly renovated, and is now standing to its

present glory. the present mUla mUrthy, is perhaps the

largest Sayana thirukkOlams, and can be seen only

through 3 sanctum doors. at that time, 12000 thIrtha

nAyanArs (sAlagramam) were baught from gaNdaki nadi,

they were wraped in gold wires, and covered with

KaDuSarkara (a mixture of jaggery, mustard, granite

powder etc)and the present murthy was made. there is

not only a sivalingam, but also brahma, saptha rishis,

indradi devas performing kainkaryam inside the

sanctum, to our lord, recling in the AdiSEshaparyankam

with SrI bhUmi dEvi nAcchiyArs.

nammALwArs mangaLASAsanam in thiruvAzymozhi is the

last mangalasasanam for kerala based divya desams,

10.2.1 is a place, after "thALathAmarai" and before

"vEymeru thOLInai" with adiyEns limited knowledge here

adiyen is quoting from AzhWars pasuram

it would be extremly helpful if the learned

bhagavathas in the group can provide explicit quoting

from Edu vyAkhyAnam about this.

how emperumAn is giving darsanam is like

* ulakellaam undumizndhaan* chErum thaNNanandhapuram*

The Bhagawaan, who ate and brought the

universe back, after the PraLayam (Cosmic cycle) is

here most gracefully presenting Himself at

Thiruvananthapuram.

and towards the end of the pathikam there is a clear

statement about Siva

naamumpOy naNukavEndum* kumaranaar thaathai* thunbam

thudaiththa kOvindhanaarE. 10.2.6

Let us also join the NityasUris and involve ourselves

deeply in Bhgawath Kaimkaryams to This Emperumaan-

Govindhan- is the One who removed the sin of

SubrahmaNyan's Father, Sivan

 

and the total feeling of the pathikam seems to go to

thiruvanathapuram and perform kainkaryam immediatly,

without a second of delay
