This week's Podcast is about

" Saranathar ThiruKovil,Thirucherai " .

This divya Kshetram is 15 kms South of kumbakonam, and 4 km north of kodavasal.

 

The

Moolavar is Saranathan in a standing posture and the thayar is known as

saranayaki.As per Legend it is believed that Markandeya and Kaveri Amman

meditated upon Lord Vishnu.It is also believed that brahma made a clay plot to

rescue and preserve the Vedas during pralaya,but none of the pots made by

Brahma would last.There upon he was directed by Lord Vishnu to proceed to

Thirucherai (Saara Kshetram) and make a pot out of the clay on the banks of

kaveri, and thus the Vedas were protected in a pot made out of tough mud at

this place.
