My humble Namaskarams to all the
respected members of srirangasri /ramanujamission / parakalamathan
groups.
I wish to inform you that I was recently blessed with the
opportunity to visit this divyadesam during this deepavali time . With a
heavy heart I wish to bring before your goodselves the fact that this age
old temple ( one of the 108 divyadesams).is struggling for its daily nitya
poojas.
I happened to meet Shri Ramanujam Iyengar- Accountant of this
temple. He also complained that the temple badly requires re-wiring
immediately,as the electric wires existing was drawn/ fixed during
1965. Due to the present heavy rains in Tanjore district and also around
the temple area- all walls have dampened and water has seeped into the
walls & the poor archakas are experiencing electric shocks when they
touch the switch itself. Sri Ramanujam Iyengar has roughly estimated the
electric expenses to come to around 50000 INdian ruppees. Some amount from
this he wishes to use for strengthening/ waterproofing the roof top
terrace also where water is leaking into the temple.
Generous Srivaishnava devotees can
send in your contributions to below given address as our
beloved Lord Sri Krivasamudra Perumal can live there peacefully and
protect all of us. Let all our members be blessed with the Punyam of giving
light to the ageold temples.
Pl send in your DD / Cheques
favouring " The Executive Officer, Sri Kribasamudra
Perumal thirukoil, Sirupuliyur Post- 609403. ( pl mention at the back
of the DD / Cheque that it is mentioned for re-Electrification
purposes)
If someone doesnot know about
this divyadesam, a small write-up copied from the web:
About the
Temple:
This temple lies in the Tanjore district of TamilNadu. It's
about 2 miles from Kollumankudi which is on the Aranthangi - Maayavaram
railway route. There is not much of places for
staying.
Sthala Puranam:
Gauthama Maharishi was the son
of Madhiya Nandhana Maharishi. He was a devotee of Lord Shiva. To offer pure
and sweet fruits and fine flowers he requested Lord Shiva to grant him eyes
in his hand finger tips and claws like tiger. And he got the name
Viyakirapadha rishi. Then he married Vashits Maharishi's sister and bore
upamanyu Maharishi as his son.
Once Padanjali, the son of Aadhishesha
came to chidambaram and joined the Maharishi to enjoy the graceful dance of
Lord Shiva and attained the eternal happiness in the process.
Lord
Shiva ordered Viyakirapadha rishi to do penance at Sivapuliyur requesting Lord
Maha vishnu to give him place in vaigundam. As the saint who was in the
form of a Tiger this place is known as Serupuliyur. He has also got a seat
under the feet of the perumal in the Moolavar Sannathi.
Salam means
Maya. Here the Lord god lays in the sleeping posture indicating yoga maya (of
the type Arithunar Yoga Thuil).
It's been said the perumal of this
place gave protection to the snake Aadhiseshan from his enemy
Garuda.
The Lord here is very small in size. Thirumangaialwar worried
about this. So, Perumal asked him to come to Thirukannamangai to view his very
big statue.
Moolavar:
The Moolavar of this sthalam is
Arulmaakadal. He is also called with other names like Arulmaakadalamudhu,
Salasayana Perumal. He is giving his seva in Kidantha (Sleeping)
Thirukkolam in Bhujanga sayanam. Prathyaksham for Vyasa Maharishi and Viyakra
Padarishi.
Thayaar:
The Thayaar found in this sthalam is
Thirumaamagal Naachiyar. And the Utsavar Thaayar is Dhaya
Naayagi.
Utsavar:
The Utsavar found in this sthalam is Kriba
Samudira perumal.
Mangalasasanam:
a.. Thirumangaialwar -
10 Paasurams Total - 10 Paasurams.
Pushkarani: Manasa
Pushkarani.
Vimanam: Nandha Vardhana Vimaanam.
With Best
Wishes & Regards
