SrI:

Dear Devotee :

Kurugai Kavalappan is the name of
a dear Sishya of Swamy Nathamuni .
It is therefore not a temple .We can
make some guesses at the UpAsanaa
Moorthy of Kurugai Kavalappan .
His AchAryan was from Sottai Kulam
( ShadamarshaNa GOtram) and Lord KrishNa was
the UpAsanA Moorthy for them . As a sishyar of
Swamy Naathamuni and inheritor of
Yoga Rahasyam from his AchAryan ,
it will not be surprising that Kaavalappan
also had Aayan (GopAlan) of ThirukkOvalUr
as his UpAsanaa Moorthy . He was many years at
Veera NaarAyaNa puram , the birthplace of
Swamy Naathamuni . Hence that koil at
KaattumannArgudi near Chidambharam
could also be the koil related to him .

Kurugai Kavalappan was blessed with upadEsam
on Yoga rahasyam by Swamy Nathamuni and was
an expert in AshtAnga Yogam that leads to
Bhakthi Yogam for Moksha Siddhi . He was born
on Thai VisAkam and is the author of the Taniyan
on MoonRAm ThiruvandhAthi of PeyAzhwAr .
Hence if any remote connection has to be made
about a temple dear to this AchAryan , it could be
that of Aayan of ThirukkOvalUr .

Another AchAryan comes from Thirukkuruhai
( Thirukkuruhai PirAn PiLLAn , the Jn~Ana
putran of AchArya RaamAnuja) .He is the author of
the 6000 Padi . Thirukkuruhai could be a village near
Kaanchi in ThoNdai ManDalam . Thirukkuruhai PirAn
PiLLAn was the son of AchArya RaamAnujA's uncle ,
SrI Saila Nambi ( Thirumalai nambi) , a great devotee
of Thirumalayappan . Thirukkuruhai PirAn PiLLAn
is the3 author ofthe Taniyan for the IraNDAm
ThiruvandhAthi of BhUthattAzhwar .
