Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Sri Lakshmi Narasimhar Temple - Narasingapuram Location : This great temple of Sri Narasimhar is located about 55 Kms from Chennai in a place named "Perambakkam" while traveling from Chennai to Sri Perumbhudhur on the National Highway. Bhaktas has to take a right turn near Empee distillers and traveling through the road, we can reach this temple. Transportation to reach : From Chennai - Koyambedu (CMBT) Bus stand - Bus number 91B, 138B, 86A, 107, 107A.From Poonthamallee - 91, 91P, 91B.From Tiruvallore - 160, T19. An appeal to the Bhaktas : There are lots of temples that are in good condition and lots of bhaktas do visit those temples. So, the temple gets well known. But, there are some great temples, which are still under dark and not known to the world. One among such temple is this great Sri Maragathavalli Sametha Sri Lakshmi Narasimhar - temple - Narasingapuram. The temple is now being renovated. The Raja gopuram, Garbhagriham, Vimaanam, Thaayar Sannadhi, Andal Sannadhi, Dwajasthambam, the compound walls and the Madapalli are in very bad condition. So, all the bhaktas of Sri Malolan - Sri Narasimhar are requested to visit this great temple and involve themselves into the great Kovil Kainkaryam and generously donate for the renovation of the Sri Narasimhar temple. The deities : The Moolavar of this temple is Sri Lakshmi Narasimhar along with Sri Lakshmi on his lap. He is found in Veetrirandha (Sitting) position. The Perumal is huge and gigantic - and he is about 7 feet in height. Both thaayar is about 5 feet in height. Both thaayar and Perumal are so beautiful and their beauty attracts all the bhaktas, as they don't vanish our eyes. But, before entering into the temple and seeing the beauty of the Perumal, we are very sad to see the Raja gopuram being totally dilapidated. The Raja gopuram invites all the bhaktas towards the temple, but Narasingapuram temple Raja gopuram is now in a bad state. As the architectural works in the temple shows that it would have been built during the period of Vijayanagar kingdom in 16th Century. As we enter into the temple after looking at the Raja Gopuram, we can see the Chitra Mandapam, which is also being destroyed. And as a passage towards the Moolavar sannadhi, we can see the compound wall, Andal sannadhi etc., are completely ruined. Even people who don't believe god will feel for the temple condition. But, as the bhaktas true of Sriman Narayanan, we have to contribute towards the great temple and explore this temple to the world. Specialities of the sthalam : This Narasingapuram is said to be a great sthalam for all the prarthanais and the Perumal is said to be "Varapprasadhi" (gives us whatever the varam (boon) we ask for "). Bhaktas who are affected by Chevvai (Angaragan) dosham can visit this sthalam. The Perumal is also called with the Thiru Naamam "Sri Kalyana Lakshmi Narasimhar" (as the Perumal performs "Aalinganam" - holding Sri Lakshmi towards Him very closely). The Periya Thiruvadi - Garudalwar is about 4 feet height and 16 Naagams (snakes) are found in his body as the ornaments. By continuously worshipping this Sri Narasimhar for 9 Swathi Nakshathiram all the wealth / health problems, obstacles in marriage etc., gets vanished all the good and mangala things comes to our way. Asthikas and other village members have united themselves for performing the huge deiva Kainkaryam. Some of the temple works are in the process, but still the temple for regaining its lost glory needs so much of money. So, bhaktas who read this, can visit this sthalam and contribute how much eve they can with full of bhakti or people can taken up any particular thiruppani like renovating of Bali peedam, Dwajasthambam, electrical works, Pragharam works etc. Sri Lakshmi Narasimha swamy seva sabha trust, Narasingapuram, PO., Via - Perambakkam,Thiruvallur District - 631 402.Tamil Nadu.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Namaskarams, I have covered about Narasingapuram on a personal data compilation here: http://srivaishnavanetwork.blogspot.com/2006/10/sri-lakshmi-narasimhar-temple.ht\ ml Moderator: This is non-profit non-business promoting service oriented post. ------- Deepak Vasudevan 91 98400 26014 ------- *** Shadow of a subject can not be separated from that for any reason. So, Where money involves, there business and profit follows automatically. So, it is better to keep posting Vishayams and avoid suggesting / promoting any money involved matter. Also, some capable person may contribute, some (like me) may feel sad for not able to contribute! nvs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
