Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 TIRUVAHINDRAPURAM This Divya shetram is located 5 Kms closer to Cuddalore town. The moolavar is Devanathan in a standing posture and the Thayar is Hemambujavalli also known as Vaikuntanayaki. The Utsavar is called Moovaragiya Oruvan – a manifestation of Brahma, Vishnu and Siva. The Theertham is Seshatheertham created by Adisesha and Vajra Theertham by Garuda. The Vimanam is Suddhasatva Vimanam. The Aushadagiri hillock adjacent to the temple has the shrine for Hayagriva – the embodiment of knowledge and learning. Vedantha Desikar is believed to have worshipped Garuda and obtained the image of Hayagriva being installed in this temple. The legend has it that Adisesha the serpent mount of Lord Vishnu created this shrine. The place where Vedantha Desikar lived is preserved as “Desikan Tiru Maaligai”. Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam: Tirumangai Azhwar – 1148-57 (pasuram numbers as found in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam) The annual Brahmotsavam is celebrated in the Tamil month Chittirai. Maasi Makham and the birth of Desikar during Purattasi are celebrated in a grand scale. Om Namo Narayanaya Padmashri Sampathkumar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
