                 - Solar Eclipse day[Translation]

 

Kumbakonam: At the Siva Temple in Thepper uma nallur,  large numbers of devotees

witnessed a miracle of a Cobra doing Archana for Siva Lingam with Vilvam

leaves.  

 

 

In Thanjavoor district of Tamil Nadu, near Thirunageswaram, there is a Siva

Temple at Thepper uma nallur. Here Vedhanthanayagi [sakthi] with Viswanathaswamy

[siva] are the main Deities. In this Temple , it has been customary to do

archana with Rudhraksha only.

 

 

 

 

Yesterday morning, just before Solar Eclipse, at about 10:30 AM Sivachariar

Satish, priest of the Temple , noticed a Cobra lying on top of the Siva Linga.

The snake slowly descended from there and went towards the Vilvam tree which is

the Sthala Viruksham- Holy tree of the temple. It climbed the tree and picked a

Vilvam leaf and came back and entered the Sannadhi. It hissed at any devotee

trying to get near it. It climbed onto the Siva Linga and opened it hood and

dropped the Vilvam Leaf. This miracle was witnessed by all devotees who were

excited. Then the Cobra went again and again to do the same repeated two or

three times. As the news spread all over the village, hundreds of villagers

rushed to the Temple to have the Dharshan of this event of Cobra with Siva.

[ Note: Vilvam leaf (Bilva Leaf) is holy and special for Siva Pooja]
