Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Sri Thyagarajar Temple, Thiruvarur. LOCATION OF THE TEMPLE: Sri Thyagarajar Temple, is situated at Thiruvarur, a town which comes under older thanjavur district of Tamilnadu, India. HISTORY OF THE TEMPLE: The origin of the shrine at Tiruvarur is steeped in antiquity. Of the two major shrines in the temple, dedicated to Vanmikanathar and Tyagarajar the Vanmikanathar shrine is the older one. It enshrines a Shivalingam - prithvi lingam made of earth. Two of the major legends surrounding the temple are associated with Manu Needi Cholan and Muchukunda Cholan respectively.Anecdotes referring to the lives of these legendary rulers (not attributable directly to any of the Cholas of the Sangam period or the Vijayalaya line of Cholas) are referred to in ancient Tamil literature such as Manimekalai and Silappadikaram. DIVINESS OF THE TEMPLE:The vibrant tradition of worship that was present at this shrine during the period of the Nayanmars, is evident from the wealth of the Tevaram hymns that are dedicated to Vanmikanathar (Purtidamkondaar) and Tyagaraja (Veedhi Vitankar). AUSPICIOUS TIMES: Legends associated with the Saivite Saints Sambandar, Appar and Sundarar of the 63 Saivite Saints who led the Bhakti movement of the 1st millennium CE composed hymns on Tiruvarur. Several other saints were also closely associated with Tiruvarur, the notable ones being Naminandi Adigal, Dandi Adigal, Somaasi Maaranaar and Cheramaan Perumaal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
