Sri Swamiji visits Acharpakkam Ashrama

Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji arrived in Acharpakkam Ashrama in Tamil

Nadu state on the afternoon of Feb. 10, 2001

At 6 PM, Sri Swamiji have back the papers of the Nadu Palani Ashrama

to its donor, Sri Muttu Swamy who had recovered from a long illness

and Sri Swamiji wanted him to care for the Ashrama and Murugan

temple there. Sri Swamiji traced the history of the Nadu Palani

Ashrama, the relationship of Muruga with Dattatreya and that

Muttuswamy had asked Sri Swamiji to care for the Ashrama as he was

aged and sick. But now, after four years and much development, Sri

Muttu Swamy had recovered and Sri Swamiji wanted him to care for the

shrines.

In the evening the Shankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Math, His

Holiness Jayendra Saraswati Swamiji visited the Ashrama and in His

brief address to the gathering the seer extolled the efforts of Sri

Swamiji in bringing spiritual and Dharmic awareness in the rural

areas of India. He was in full admiration of the unique Dhyana

Mantapa (Meditation Hall) which was to be inaugurated the next day.

Sri Swamiji in His speech Blessed the audience and donated Rs.50,000

to the Shankaracharya who was going to the earthquake affected areas

in Gujarat for rehabilitation works.

Later, both saints left for the recently renovated Shiva Temple in

Acharpakkam village whose Kumbhabhishekam was to be held the next

day. The 2000 year old large and imposing temple complex houses the

ancient Udbhava Shiva Lingam (self created Shiva Lingam), a newly

consecrated Shiva Lingam and a Devi shrine. The Acharyas (seers)

were taken around the temple complex by the members. Sri Swamiji was

pleased with the sincere and dedicated efforts of the members who

had transformed the temple from black and sooty greased up smelly

place to a new and sparkling temple in just 15 months. Sri Swamiji

placed the Yantra of mother goddess in the shrine and offered

Purnahuti in the Yaga Shala.

Next day, Sri Swamiji inaugurated the Ganapati Dhyana Mantapam in

Acharpakkam Ashrama. This octagonal shaped meditation chamber has 32

Ganapatis around the hall. Inside there are placed a large photo and

Padukas of Sri Swamiji A music system hummed with meditation tunes

and chants of Sri Swamiji. Sri Swamiji blessed the place and left

for the consecration of Shiva temple in the village. Over two

hundred thousand people had thronged the temple premises. Trucks and

busses loaded with folks from surrounding villages were still

arriving. Sri Swamiji first proceeded to the house where The junior

pontiff of Kanchi, Sri Vijayendra Saraswati Swamiji was camping in

the village. The seers met for over 30 minutes. Then they proceeded

to the temple where the chief priests welcomed them with Purna

Kumbha. They were then taken to the Yaga Shala for Purnahuti and

Visarjana. At 10 AM both the Swamijis proceeded to the top of the

tower and performed Kumbha Abhishekam from there. Sri Swamiji

Blessed everyone and left for Mysore at 11 AM.
