The First KshEthram
************************
1. Dodda Mallur ( ApramEya PerumAL , Aravinda
Valli ThAyAr
and Crawling/AmbEgal Navaneetha KrishNan ) is the first
kshEthram that is covered .Route Maps
from Bangalore, Temple
timings, Bhattar 's name and telephone
numbers are given for
this and other temples to help you
plan your visits .
Saint Purandara
Daasar composed His Famous krithi
"JagadhOdhAraNa "
on the most beautiful crawling Navaneetha chOra Moorthy of this temple.
Daasar was overcome
by the beauty of this
dhivya moorthy and sang
this krithi from the Mantapam
known now as Purandara Mantapam .
This Navaneetha KrishNan is crawling on
Garuda Peetam and has a ball of
VeNNai in His hand , which stands
for Jn~Anam ( Bhagavath Githai ) .
He is ready to bless us with that
Jn~Anam for our Moksham .
AchyuthAshtakam , MadhurAshtakam
, KrishNAshtakam , SrI Raama
MangaLam , RuNa VimOchana
Narasimha SthOthram and
NrusimhAshtakam are recited
in front of the appropriate sannidhis
at this temple . Thus , Five
beautiful sthOthrams are devoted to this
KshEthram (abhimAna
Sthalam).
The alankAram in KaranAtaka
Temples are a delight to watch
.
AmbEgal KrishNan with
VeNNai alankAram is a beautiful image
to enjoy. His whole body is covered with VeNNai
. ApramEyar
(Uthsavar and Moolavar ) are eye
filling .
ApramEyan means Immeasurable ,
unbounded, unlimited and limitless.
That Tatthvam , which is
beyond speech and mind has taken the form
of a dhivya MangaLa vigraham at
this temple to be with in the reach of
our mind and
senses.
Saint Purandara Dasa , tha
avathAram of Sage Naradhar attempts to sum up
the greatness of
ApramEyan and crawling KrishNan in his
HindusthAni Kapi
krithi , "JadadhOdhAraNa
aadisithaLiyasOdhA ": Hr addresses the Lord as
"apramEyana , agaNitha Mahimana
, aNOrOneeyana , MahathOmaheeyana ,
Parama Purushabnaa, Vara
VaasudEvanaa , SuguNAntha Ranganaa ".
There is not much to say
thereafter; only thing to do is to rush to
this KshEthram for the darsanam
of the ApramEyan and prepare for
that visit with the help of the
CD ROM put together by SrI Sridhar.

significant
time , while escaping from the

Srirangam at moment's notice.
At this KshEthram was born His
"Abheethi Sthavam ".

Kaimakryams at this temple

Swamy Desikan .

Swamy including avabrutha SnAnam in Cauvery river is a rare

the Jn~AnAsvattha tree ( Sacred
Pupil tree under which Swamy
Desikan did his daily Japam

Swamy Desikan sat during
His anushtAnam are at the
peaceful KshEthram of Satyagalam .
At the appropriate Sannidhis ,
MahA Lakshmi Ashtakam and Hanumath
Ashtakam are recited in this

3) SrI RanganAthan of Madhya Rangam
**********************************************
This temple is 5.5 KM from Sathyagalam on a

Madhya Rangan . He is in between
Aadhirangan at

VeNNai alankAram
on SrI Vaikunta EkAdasi day for this immense
PerumAl is incredible to
watch . His beauty is only matched by SrI
