Sri Kothanda Ramar temple - Ganapathipuram

 

 

Thondai Nadu, which is famous for both Vaishnavam and Saivam temples has a lots of story to say about. In that Thondai Nadu, Kanchipuram is said to be the sthalam where lots of temples are found. There is a slogan, which says the "Nakareshu Kanchi", which praises the Greatness of Kanchipuram. From this great Kanchipuram, 18 Kms away from it in the travel towards Arakkonam, a small village by named "Ganapathipuram" is situated. This Ganapathipuram is previously called with the name "Vishwaksenapuram". This village is surrounded by lots of great lands and the raised paddy fields, coconut and Mango trees, the cool breeze are said to be so pleasant and can easily attract all the peoples. In this Ganapathipuram village, a beautiful temple for Sri Vaikundanathar is found. The way he is got needs to be explained. Sri Vaikundanathar is kept as the Moolavar in this temple. He is got from the earth and for him a small temple is built and was done daily poojas. All the people are worried since only Moolavar is found. But, its the duty of the perumal to clear the minds of his bhaktas. One fine day, a Saadhu who lived in Thiru Ayodhya did the daily pooja for Vigrahams of Sri Ramar, Seetha piratti and Lakshmanar. But, he wanted all these Perumals should be kept in a temple so that lots of utsavams will be done for the perumal. Because of this, the Saadhu took those vigrahams and started from Thiru Ayodhya and he came to Singa Perumal temple near Chengalpet. Before any work is started, the first pooja should be made to "Vishwaksenar)" . But, the people of Ganapathipuram is expecting utsava moorthis to be placed in their temples. The news of having the Utsava moorthi on the hands of the Saadhu reached the family members of the Vaishnavites living there. They rushed to Singaperumal temple and got the utsava moorthies from the saadhu and now to those utsavars, along with the moolavar, the daily poojas are done. Later in 1986, the Maha Samprokshanam is done to the temple. Following it, as a regular way, Ekadhina Laksharshanai for Sri Anjaneyar is also done in a grand manner.

As the year passed on, the temple surroundings and temples got destroyed and even if it rains, the rainwater can easily enter the temple. Because of this, the Vaishnavite members thought to reconstruct the temple. So, as an action, now "Balalayam" is done and the Utsava Moorthies are now kept in a small house and daily poojas are done.

So, to keep him inside the temple once again, an amount of Rs.10 Lakhs is required. But, this amount is seemed to be an enormous and large amount for the Vaishnavite families.

For travelling from Sethu bandhanam to Lanka, even a small squirell helped Sri Ramar to cross him. Likewise, even lots of small amount of money can help the temple to grow. So all the bhaktas who read this, with full-hearted of bhakthi can donate as a cash (or) DD (or) cheque (or) some products can afford for the construction of the temple. New get yourself involved in the construction of the temple and get the complete blessings of Sri Ramar.
