Srihi

Respected Bhagavathas,

http://www.pbase.com/svami/yoga_nrusimha_and_udayavar_temple

As promised this is the Third and Final  temple of Thondannur I am
presenting .

The temple dedicated to Yogananda Nrusimha and Lord Udayavar. This is temple
is in very small hill Lock and it was renovated very recently.


Here Perumal Moolavar is Yogananda Nrusimha with A Nrusimha Dandam. He has 
Vijayalakshmi in Vrusshastahala. Moovavar Thayar is Yadava Nayaki. 

It is said that Prahalada did the Prathistai of this temple.

A separate Sannidhi is dedicated to Our Beloved Udaiyavar. He is seated in 
Upadesha Mudra. It is a Sthuthai Shilpa.

It is the very same place where our Udaiyavar defeated 1000 Jain Monks in 
debate.

The History goes like this:- King Vishnuvardhan Embraced Sri Vaishnavism at the 
feet of Lord Bhashyakarar after his daughter got cured. King and Queen Shantala 
Devi were Jains originally. This was not liked by Jain Monks, so they 
challanged the Lord for Debate , Then debate was arranged in Yoga Nrusimha 
Sannidhi and Udayavar Sat behind a curtain (It is the same spot where the 
present archai is there) and thousands of Jain monks asked questions and SrI 
Udaiyavar answered them all back. When someone peeped, he was stunned, because 
what
he saw was a magnificint sight, he saw a 1000 headed Serpant (Adhi Sesha) 
seated then and answering all the questions and defating the Jains. Finally all 
the monks ebraced Srivaishnavism.

I spoke with Bhattar  who is looking after this temple and also Gopala
Krishna Temple and he informed that He needs Rs.250 /- per day to perform Pooja 
,Neyvediyam and pushpa Kainkaryam for Lord. I am sure you all will come forward 
and do something for this temple. Our Bretherns living abroad can take up the 
Pooja for each month and get the Lords Blessings. Those who want to help please
