SUCHINDRUM -THE TRINITY OF GOD THE MOST POWERFUL SECRET KSEHTRA OF LORD DATTATREYA – HAVE A VISIT & GET THE BLESSINGS FROM TRIMOORTHI FORM Suchindra temple tower with pushkarini and Mantapa Suchindrum is a most powerful secret kshetra of Lord Dattatreya, but the main attraction is the renowned shrine dedicated to Lord STHANU-MAL-AYAN (Siva, Vishnu and Brahma). Suchindrum means the place where Indra attained ‘Suchi’ i.e., purification. It is one of the few temples in the country where the Trinity, Brahma, Vishnu and Ishvara, are worshipped. The temple enshrines Sri Sthanumalaya, the Trinity of God (Siva, Vishnu and Brahma). The linga is in three parts. The top represents "Sthanu" name of Siva,the middle "Mal" name of Vishnu, and the base "Ayan" name of Brahma. It is believed that the Trinity appeared here at the request of a sage, Atri, and his wife,Anusaya. The art and architecture of the temple stands as one of the best foremost and richest among the South Indian shrines. The unique feature of the Suchindrum temple is that both Saivites and Vaishnavites hold the temple in the high esteem. The shrines within, which are thirty in number. The sanctum sanctorum presenting a Shivalinga, the Thekkadam presenting the image of Lord Vishnu (human form), the Konnayadi presenting the three svayambhu lingas at the foot of an old tree (nature worship), the holy sanctum of Chitra sabha presenting a mirror (formless aspect of self-realisation) and many other smaller shrines presenting almost all the deities of Hindu

Pantheon, afford opportunities for all classes f people to worship here. ALL these are remarkably enhanced the spiritual significance of this temple. Suchindrum is a place of exceptional interest in many respects. Its sculptural wealth is one of the best in the South India. It is in the state of Tamilnadu in India and is 7 kilometers from Nagercoil and 13 kms only from Kanyakumari. Though the kshetra is in Tamilnadu, it is also nearer to Trivandrum (Kerala state) which is about 3 hours journey only. The village is surrounded n all sides by paddy fields and coconut groves. Conveyance to Suchendrum Kshetra::: (TRAINS/BUSES) From Chennai: There are direct trains to Nagercoil (Nagercoil express)/Kanyakumari/Trivandrum and from there one can reach Suchendrum very easily. If any one reaches Madhurai (Goddess Meenakshi), then it is convenient to reach Suchendrum by Travels buses maintaining by Private operators or by Tamilnadu tourism or by Tamilnadu State Road Transport. It is around 15 to 16 hours

journey From Hyderabad: Direct train is available to Kanyakumari or one can reach Chennai to catch a connected train as per our convenience.. From Vijayawada: Direct trains are available to Kanyakumari/Nagercoil/Trivandrum and weekly special trains are also available. It is around 24 to 26 hours journey from Vijayawada to Kanyakumari. City buses/private buses are available to reach Suchendrum. FROM PUNE/MUMBAI/HOWRAH/BANGALORE: Direct trains are available to reach Kanyakumari/Nagercoil and weekly special express is also available to reach Kanyakumari. CONVEYANCE BY AIR: Regular flights are available from Bangalore, Hyderabad, Rajkot, Pune, Mumbai, Kalkatta to Trivandrum and one can take bus/train/taxi to reach Suchendrum. Jet airways/Airdeccan etc., services are available for Trivandrum. ACCOMODATION FACILITIES AT SUCHENDRUM: Suchendrum is a small village and hence lodging facilities are available at nominal cost with ordinary facilities. Some choultries are also available for staying purpose. It is strongly recommending to have atleast one night sleep in the kshetra and perform Abhisheka in the early morning at about 4.00 a.m. Importance of the Kshetra: ONE ASPECT(connected to Indra): Indradeva performing puja to Lord Sthanumalaya Once Indra deva was infatuated with Ahalya, wife of Gauthama rishi. One night he took the form of a cock and came to the hermitage of Gauthama and gave the clarion call to think that he was late for his bath. Gauthama arose and hurried to the river. Indra in the disguise of Gauthama, entered the hermitage and molested Ahalya. Gauthama muni saw the river yet sleeping and returned to the hermitage and find Ahalya and Indra there. He cursed Indra that his body should be covered with a thousand female genital organs and Ahalya to become a stone. Greatly afflicted by his disgrace and Indra went to Gnaanaranya and performed penance for a long time. Atlast, the grace of Lord Shiva purified him thouroughly. Indra built the shrine and the Trimurthis were represented in one linga with the name Sthaanumaalaya. The legend is that, Indra is still doing pooja in the temple at midnight hours everynight. As Indra was purified at this Gnaanaranya, it’s

name was changed to SUCHI+INDRA = SUCHINDRA and the village is SUCHINDRUM. ANOTHER ASPECT(connected to Lord Dattatreya) : The great sage Atri and his devoted wife Anasuya had their hermitage at this gnaanaranya (now it is Suchindrum). Anasuya was renowned for her chastity. Once the sage Atri was away to participate in a Yagna, and in his absence Anasuya was ding poja to the Paadatheertha of her Lord. She was able to bring rains from the sky by sprinkling the paadatheertha of her husband during the times of severe drought. When Goddesses Laxmi, Saraswathi and Parvathi heard throught Narada that a woman of the world had excelled them in her love towards her husband, they became jealous and decided to test the chastity of Anasuya. To satisfy the bidding of their wives, Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara appeared in the form of old Brahmins at the hermitage of Anasuya and

begged alms. Trimoorthis asking for alms When she was about to serve them food, they told her that they had taken a

vow not to eat fod served by a person who wore any dress. So, she prayed to her Lord and sprinkled the paadatheertha on the Brahmins. Immediately the old Brahmins were transformed into three suckling babies. Trimoorthis

in the form of little kids The long absence of the Gods instilled fear in the minds of the threee Devis, and they approached Anasuya for Mangalya bhiksha. Then Anasuya sprinkled the paadatheertha on the babies and the three Gods appeared in their resplendent glory by the side of their partners. These thrimoorthis combined together and gave a birth to Atri and Anasuya in the form of Lord Dattatreya.

Trimoorthis blessings to Atri and Anasuya to give birth as Lord Dattatreya The Devas, Rishis and sages came to Gnaanaranya to have the holy darshan of the Trimoorthis. When they disappeared , there sprouted three svayambulingas at the fot of a laurel tree. This laurel tree and the lingas can be seen even now at the Suchindrum temple. Darshaneeya places in the temple: 1. PUSHKARINI: The Pushkarini is at the outside of the temple. It is a big tank with a beautiful Mandapam in the center. It is advised to take a bath in the Pushkarni before having the darshan of Stahanumalayan/Lord Dattatreya. The legend is that, the sins of the devotees will be purified by having a bath in this Pushkarini. Swamy’s Kalyana and Theppotsava will always be performed in the Mandapam of the Pushkarini. Temple tower 2. Tower (Gopura) of the temple: The tourists will always attracted by the charm and grandeur of the lofty Gopuram at Suchindrum temple. The Gopuram is a marvel of construction, standing majestically 134 feet hight with 7 steps. Even from a distance the tower of the temple, framed by the coconut trees and the sky as a backdrop, makes a fascinating picture. 3. Smiling

Subrahmanyeshwara: The Lord Subrahmanya in this temple is appearing with full smiling face. He is in the shakti sampanna form. 4. Vigneshwari: Lord Vinayaka is appearing as a part of female and remaining as a male form. This vinayaka is a combination of male and female form and hence this Vigneshwar is terming as VIGNESHWARI. 5. NAVAPAASHAANA BALAJI: Lord Venkateshwara is appearing with silver kavacha and the stone used for the lord Balaji moorthi is Navapaashana shila. We can find this type of shila in Palani (Lord subrahmanya moola virat) and in very few temples. Whoever takes the abhisheka theertha of this navapaashana shila, then deceases if any of the concerned person will be cured within few days. 6. Shankhu powder Nandeeshwar (huge white bull): In this temple, we can find very big Nandi (vahana of Lord Shiva) . It is 9 ft height and 13 ft width. It is a gigantic bull and is terming as Makkalai which is facing Lord Sthanumalaya.The full Nandi was made with full shankhu powder only. 7. Jagadguru Adishankara: There is a legend that, Jagadguru Aadishankara obtained the “PRANAVA” mantropadesha from Lord Shiva and had seen the Shiva thaandava darshan of Lord Shiva in this Suchendrum. 8. Viswaroopa Hanuman: W Vishwaroopa Hanuman-Jai Hanuman It is stunned to see the huge image of Lord Hanuman the embodiment of devotion and humility, depicting his Vishwaroopa Darshan given to Sitha at the Ashoka forest, as described in the Sundarakanda of Ramayana. It is about 18 ft height and is remarkable for its grandeur and massiveness. As we approach the image we feel how insignificant we are and stand transfixed. This figure is placed diametrically opposite to the figures of Lord Rama and Sitha. The full tail of Lord Hanuman is in he full upward direction. As per Shaastra, it is very powerful to perform puja to tail of Lord Hanuman. In this temple, it is a practice to apply butter to the edge of the tail to give cooling effect to Lord Hanuman to get a relief from the burning position of the tail. Sides of vigraha two ladders are there, the priest will go to the top of the murthy and apply the butter to the tail. They will give the applied butter as a prasada and if we apply this butter to the backside of our children, there won’t be any graha doshas to the kids. 9. Sapthaswara piller/ring piller: It is true that, we can hear the music from the rock pillors of the temple. By entering into the Alankara mantapa, we can see four pillers each carved out of a s ingle stne. Two of them contain 33 smaller pillars. These are the famous Musical pillars and one can hear

the most melodious musical saptaswara tunes emanate from then when tapped. It is real and another pillor will give the sound of a ring. The aarohan and avarohana styles can be easily experienced as per your tapping style of the pillar. We can also see a pillor in the temple premises, in which if we introduced a piece of wire through the right nostril of the statue, it will comes out of the left ear and when it is made to pass throught the right ear comes out of the left. It is a wonder and can be seen in the temple. 10. Dharmasamvardhini: Now, we come to the shrine dedicated to Devi, The Goddess Dharmasamvardhini. The image is made of bronze. 11. Lord Dattatreya: We can have the darshan of Lord Dattatreya in the hollow at the foot of the tree, where three lingas sprout one above the other. This can be seen only at the time of abhisheka in the morning (4.00 a.m.) and they are usually hidden in the a golden kavacha in the day hours. The branches of the Konnai (laurel) tree are also seen at the top of the shrine. It is an irrefutable fact that the tree is very old and parts of the tree were sent to London

and Kalkatta and were examined by experts who concluded that the tree would have flourished atleast 2000 years ago. There is an evidence that, almost all the shrines in the temple are came into existence before the first quarter of the 12th century. 12. Lord Sthanumalaya: The

Sanctum Sanctorum of Lord Sthanumalaya, is fully illuminated by oil lamps. Crossing the Nandi, we have the darshan of Lord Sthanumalaya in the form of Linga at about 1.25 ft hight. Except at the time of Abhisheka (4.00 a.m.), the linga is fully covered by a golden kavacha. The charming serenity of the spot and the devotion is superb. The main hall of this garbhalaya appearance is very great and akhanda jyothi is continuously illuminating in this hall. 13.NAVAGRAHA VASANTHA MANTAPAM: The Navagraha Vasantha mantapam is a monument of art. Unlike other temples, the Navagrahas are placed at the top in the

ceiling. The Navagrahas are engraved on the ceiling.Deepas have to be placed on the mandapa at proper position of the grahas as per ishta and have the darshan of Navagrahas by seeing

the ceiling part of the Mantapa. It is a speiciality in this temple. In addition to the above shrines, we can see Natraja, Lord Rama, Sita, Vishnu, Thiru koneru, 2 dwaja stambhas, Chitra sabha, Garuda mandapam, Jayantheeshwara temples etc., in the temple premises. IMPORTANT FESTIVALS OF SUCHINDRUM:

There are two important festivals, one in the month of Markazhi and the other in the month of Chithirai. During the the Markazhi festival ending with the Anuradha Dharshan, the Lord Suchindaperumal and other deities are taken out in procession around the streets. On the ninth day the Car festival is cnducted with great pomp and show when three cars are drawn around the streets. The Chithrai festival is conducted in a similar

manner excepting for the last two days when only 2 cars are taken outon the ninth day and on the tenth day Lord Suchindaperumal and Umayal are taken round the Mandapam of the tank (Pushkarini) on a decorative float. CONCLUSION: This Kshetra is a powerful one for performing sadhana. Many rushis, deities were performed penance in this Suchindrum. The

kshetra itself is having very power. Shree Gurucharitra parayan under the laurel tree (premises of Lord Dattatreya) is highly recommending in addition to datta mantraanushtan. It is confirmed that Indra is regulary visiting this temple in the night hours and performing puja to Sthanumalaya. Even priests of the temple are confirming that the location of the puja samagri in the Garbhalaya are changing by the next day morning everyday means, Indra is coming and performing

puja to Trinity God. It is advised to every one to visit this Kshetra atleast once in their life time and have the blessings of Trimoorthi roopa. If an unmarried person visits Kanyakumari devi and Suchidrum Trimoorhty in a single trip, their marriage will be settled at the earliest. Thus this sacred shrine leaves indelible impressions in the minds of the visitors and no tourist fails to carry sweet memories on his exit from this shrine.
