Dear Members,

 

Sri Mandeswara (Saniswaraya) Temple is an ancient manument in Village

Mandapalli in East Godavari Distt of Andhra Pradesh.It is about 35 Kms

from Rajamundry on the Vijayawada-Vishakhapattnam route. You are aware

that Saturn is also called Mandi, or Mandachari. in legends, it is

known as famous Siva Temple, which was built by Saturn. Lord Saturn had

atoned the sin of Brahamhatya by installing and adoring his Ishta, Lord

Shiva. There is another legend, which is also popular. When demons were

on the path of destruction of devatas, they all pleaded Sage Dadhichi

for help. Sage Dadhichi offered the shastras created from his body

bones. But, devatas could not defeat the demons. Then sage Dadhichi

adviced them to approach lord Saturn ,as he was the only capable entity

to use these shastras and kill the demons. When approached by devatas,

Saturn expressed his inability, as he was performing Yajna for his ishta

devata, lord Shiva, for atoning the sin of brahamhatya. However, after

forceful pleadings by the all devatas, Saturn consented to use the

shastras of the bones of sage Dadhichi and fight demons, thus leaving

his yajna . The place where Saturn killed the demons is known after the

name of Saturn, Mandapalli.

 

After the victory Saturn created a great temple for his ishta Shiva by

installing a black ahivling,then the temple of Pavatiji was also

installed, followed by temple of Narayana and Nageshwaray. All in the

same premises. Im this temple. the pujaris perform pooja for removing

the severe effects and Graha dosham of all the planets,and mantras are

also addressedd to Saturn to help the devotee to free them from all

obstacles and bad times they are undergoing. This pooja takes about 45

minutes. The pooja can also be specific for mahamritunjaya , if one

wants that way. After this, gingelli oil is offered on the Shivlinga

through a long funnel,and obeseience is paid to other deities. After

performing the abhishekam ,the prasad given to the devotee is Kumkum,

called Sri Ammavari Kumkum.

 

I was undergoing very severe period in my life from 2004 onwards, and I

had done all the upayas, whatever I could do to the best of my

knowledge,but of no avail. Guru Rafal Ji is in knw of the things. Even I

had stopped my astrology work. Then all of a sudden I just read about

this temple in an article, and I simply proceeded to Rajamundry and

visited the temple. AQfter my return, within 3 months my peace of mind

started returning, health improved, astrology centre started re-working

with more devotion and inner energy. As a gratitude I again visited the

great temple in November, for thanks giving, and now I feel greatly

energised and happy and satisfied. It has been really a great

experience, after visiting almost all the know temples and places of

worship in the country during past 20 years.

 

The pujaris there are not at all greeedy or flece anyone. The samagri

costs Rs.40/- and you can give any amount to the pujari who performs

special pooja anything between Rs.150 or more,as per your choice.

Offering to all deities are normally done in cash to help the upkeep of

the temple, and pujaris in 4 temples do not look askance at the devotee

for money. Great expereince indeed, when all other methods fail and

hopes are faded and one is on the verge of collapsing, a visit to Sri

Mandeswara (Saneswara) Swamy temple is a great blessings for all of us

who have lost hopes in life.

 

With my best wishes to all members and especially to those for whom

nothing seems to be working right ! It is just the question of good

faith in His powers.
