Adi piran sannidhi

The devasthanam, is known as Azhwar adinathar

devasthanam, where the jivathma and paramathma is

given the same status like in the Sacred “Om”

The fameous “onnum thevum ulakumuyirum” (4.10.1, TVM)

glorifies AdinAthan, in the nintra thirukkOlam.

Photography was not permitted inside the temple (so

kindly excuse me adiyen donot have a picture of

azhwar) There are 4 uthsavams margazhi, Ani, mAsi, and

vaikasi. Two each goes to Azhwar and perumAL.

Perumal moolavar is AdinAthan and uthsavar is polinthu

nintra pirAn. Thayar : Kurugoorvalli, Adinathavalli .

There is a sannidhi for pantriAzhwan (njnAnapirAn).

Which Azwar mentions in the thiruvirutham and in the

end of the last ten on thiruvaymozhi (meenavarai

irandu pirakovvi nimarnthathoppa kOlavarAhammonnAy..).

Thiruppuli Azhwar (the sacred tamarind tree) was full

of puliyankai, but adiyen was told the tamarind fruits

never get ripened. They just fall down, while they are

tender, and the fruits, have only its outer skin.

Adiyen had a wonderful sevai of nammAzhwar, for a very

long time, since the temple was not at all crowded.

Both moolavar and uthsavar has beauty beyond adiyens

explanations. Moolavar adorns karimaran kondai, a

special crown. The sannidhi archakar was kind enough

to give Ney DoSai prasadam, a flower garland adorned

by azhwar and sandal wood paste with azhwars abhaya

hastham imprint, thirtham and SrIrAmAnujam. Every

where Azhwars thiruvadi is called madhurakavi, except

in azhwar thirunagari, emperumanar resides on the

SaTari, and is reverently addressed as SrIrAmAnujam

(akin to poomannu mathu porunthiya mArban,

puhazhmalintha pAmannu mArAn ADipaninthuynthavan…).

All other azhwars are present inside the azhwar shrine

itself. After explaining the history, the temple

priest paused a quiz for adiyen, “having had sevai of

Azhwar-adinathan sannidhi, can you tell which

AchArya’s divyamangala vigraham alone is present

inside the azhwar shrine?”. Adiyens answer was

immediate, SrIman nAthamunikaL. Yes adiyen was right.

Only nAthamunikal donot have a separate sannidhi, he

resides with Azhwar always. Azhwar thirunagari has all

other AchAryas, in individual sannidhis (as you have

seen in the previous postings the pictures from few

sannidhis), maintained as separate temples outside

adinathar devasthanam, except nAthamunikaL. As mAsi

uthsavam was going on the two days adiyen stayed

there, evenings were a feast for eyes with polinthu

nintra pirAn riding on hanumantha vahanam and SEsha

vahanam (paran thiramantri pallulakIr daivam

mattrillai pESuminE 4.10.3 TVM). Adiyen humbly

requests for those who visit azhwar thirunagari to

stay there at least a day. Every village person, you

will meet, is a scholar, and will have a piece of

valuable information for you. They never count you as

a stranger, they talk to you as they know you since

long. AdiyEn literally experienced “bOdhayanthaH

parasparam”.
