[Guest guest]

Dear upasakas

There is a temple called Nachiyaramman near Manjakudi (via Avudaiyar koil)

Pudukkottai dt.

Tamilnadu near sea shore Kottai Pattinam installed by Bhaskarraya and it is our

family deity.In 1951

it was renovated by my father and other people with additional Kala nithya

yanthram. He was initiated

in

dream by her into the path of srividya.Our Maha periyaval visited this

temple on his sothern yathra.None can stay in the night those times.Our

Periyaval stayed. Now it is in very bad condition.Thoushs this

area is thickly populated by Muslims they also worship this deity for their

succes in busainess.We are putting

all our efforts to rebuild it it.The idol is very much defaced and removed from

the garbha gruha

and

kept nearby sheltering in hut form. The gopuram has been rebuilt and

the work is going on.This vanadurga is very terrific in chasing people

to worship Her.He fulfills all their desirtes.

Shri Vana Dhuraga Parameswari resides at KATHIRAMANGALAM, a small village. This

place is Mayiladuthurai - Kumbakonam route (Via Vanathirajapuram). The temple is

nearly 15 KM from Mayiladuthurai or Kumbakonam. Poet Kambar also worshiped this

deity and got her blessings.

There is a Vanadurga temple near Mayavaram-Kumbakona m route. It is

believed that Sage Agasthya built this temple. The ceiling above

Goddess's head is open. It is beleived that Durga devi visits Kashi

and other places. It is for that reason there is opening above in the

ceiling and it is not MAN MADE. The Idol is almost 6 ft high.

Quite near Kadiramangalam, there is a small village called Pandainallur, wherein

enshrined is Sri Durga Parameshwari. Although I am not sure if she is worshipped

as Vana Durga, there is a wonderful incident connected with this temple and

Kanchi Paramacharyal which is quoted below:

_______________

 

The Mahaan Who Wiped Our Tears

author:..... SivaSri Jagadeesa Shivacharya, PandanaiNallur

compiler:... T.S. Kothandarama Sarma

book:......... Maha PeriyavaL - Darisana AnubhavangaL vol. 2, pages 22-25

publisher:.. Vanathi Padhippaham (May 2005 Edition)

 

Devotees saw with their own eyes that water was leaking from the corner of Sri

Vishnu Durga's eyes in the aruLmihu Pandaadu Nayaki sameta PasupatiNatha Swami

temple (at PandanaiNallur)! This happened on 19th Feb. 1986.

 

They rushed and reported the matter to me. I went and had a look. Tears were

leaking out of AmbaL's two eyes! There were no words to describe the agony of

our heart.

 

I arranged to bestow worship on a young virgin girl, treating her as Durga,

submitting saubhAgya dravyas, and performing the navAkSari mantra japam in front

of the kannikA durgA.

 

" Why is this flaw, mother? " I asked her.

 

The virgin girl who was sitting as Durga told us that she had a vision of a

divine girl who wore a green skirt telling her, " Reduce my burdern " and

disappearing.

 

Thereafter, we performed special abhiSeka ArAdhanam to Vishnu Durga and the

tears stopped.

 

We went to Kanchipuram to supplicate this matter to Sri Maha PeriyavaaL and seek

his clarification and guidance.

 

Periyavaa gave us twenty-five litres of Gangaa Jalam (water from the Ganga). He

asked us to spiritually strengthen it with one lakh AvRttis (repetition) of the

navAkSari mantra, perform abhiSeka to Vishnu Durga with the strengthened water

and then report to him.

 

After four months and after carrying out the orders of Periyavaa, we went to

Orirukkai, a village adjacent to Kanchipuram, where Periyavaa was staying.

 

I told PeriyavaaL that the tears that had been flowing from Durga's eyes had

stopped.

 

Periyavaa heard me and then contemplated the matter for sometime. Then he asked,

" Does the roof over Durga touch Her head? "

 

I could not remember if it was so, though I have been performing the daily puja.

I said, " I did not notice. I shall go back and have a look. "

 

When I got back and checked the roof by inserting a thick thread between

Durga's head and the roof, I found out that the roof was indeed touching Her

head, for the thread did not appear on the other side. It was also confirmed

that a crack in the wall had caused the roof to slant slightly and thus touch

Durga's head.

 

We came back and apprised Periyavaa of the details.

 

Periyavaa ordered us to take Durga's statue out, make a shallow dent on the

roof, then place the staute back on its base and then perform a kumbhAbhiSekam.

 

Changes were made as directed by him and the kumbhAbhiSekam took place in the

Thai month of the year 1987.

 

We came back for PeriyavaaL's darshan with the prasAdam.

 

Periyavaa happily listened to the details and accepted the prasAdam. He said,

" The people of your village are very fortunate. AmbaL's crying was to give

everyone her anugraha. "

 

While we were conversing, a Gujarati devotee came for darshan. Periyavaa spoke a

few words to him.

 

Then, looking at us, he asked, " What would it cost for you people to make a trip

here? "

 

" About three hundred rupees. "

 

He asked the Gujarati to give us three hundred rupees. He considered

PeriyavaaL's AGYA as his parama bhAgya and gave the money very happily.

 

We experienced and melted at the utmost consideration and compassion the divine

PeriyavaaL had for the prosperity of Shivacharyas who touch the god and do puja.

 

Periyavaa not only cleared Durga's burden on the head, but also the burden in

our hearts! Who else except PeriyavaaL can give such divine guidance?
