Guest guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Dear Chandrashekarji,Ramanarayanji,Lalit.Sheevaniji and Group, Information on a very sacred temple dedicated to Lord Shiva in South India Comments/Feedback welcome as always Regards, aavesh Om Namah Sivaya Somaskanda Muchukunda was a king ruling over South India having his capital at Karur. Desirous of doing Tapas on Lord Subrahmanya, the king approached sage Vasishtha and requested him for initiation into the correct observances of the Vratas. The sage explained to the king the importance of observing the Sukravara (Friday), Kirttikai and the Skanda Shashthi Vratas of Lord Subrahmanya. Having learnt in detail the Vratas, their importance and the methods of observing them, king Muchukunda started observing them with faith and devotion. After sometime, while the king was greatly absorbed in his devotion to Lord Skanda, the Lord appeared before him and granted him many boons. The Lord had made his followers, Virabahu and other warriors of his own forces, serve the king. At the behest of the Lord, Virabahu Devar and others, taking human births, obeyed the commands of the King and helped him. The king enjoyed much peace, plenty and prosperity by His grace. King Muchukunda’s might was such that even Devendra had to approach him to get his help for defeating the Asuras. The king complied with the request of Indra and defeated the Asura King Valan. When he returned from Devaloka he was given by Lord Vishnu the Murti of Somaskanda. Arriving at his kingdom, the king performed the Pratishtha Ceremony for the Somaskanda Murti at Tiruvarur (http://www.templenet.com/Tamilnadu/Tiruvarur/tiruvarur.html), in South India. Somaskanda is a manifestation of Siva featuring Siva (SAT), Uma (CHIT) and Skanda (ANANDA); Siva in a seated posture, with Parvati to his left and with Skanda his son, seated in bet ween the two. Represents SATCHITANANDA. After sometime he had a son, Agnivarman by name. Entrusting the kingdom to his son, the king retired peacefully to Mount Kailasa for spending the rest of his life in Tapas.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 SARVAM GYANANANDAMAYAMAUM GURUBYO NAMAHDear Shri Aavesh ji,Namaste. Worship of Lord Subramanya is generally advised for all those persons who have Sun in Indra(dasamsa deities) and also for those persons who have Sun as their Atmakaraka. Dreams relating to snakes or fear of snakes indicate troubles promoted by Venus. Worship of Lord Subramanya on a Sunday coinciding with Shasti thithi will help transcend the Kaala boundaries and remove the negativities of Sun.The other jyotish principle of worshiping Lord Subramanya for facing the onslaughts of Mars and to bring about auspiciousness/mangala is the one you already know.Best wishes.May Mother Bless.Astrologically & spiritually yours,p.s.ramanarayanan.
