This week's Podcast is about "Arulmigu Periya Anjaneyar
Thirukovil,Ambur."
The story has been glorified in a temple in Ambur in Vellore
district which dates back to centuries. The 11-foot idol of
Hanuman carved out of hard black stone has Saneeswara under his foot.
The idol and the temple are believed to have been renovated probably
in 1489, during the period of Krishanadevaraya of Vijayanagar
kingdom who then ruled this region. An inscription found in one
corner of the temple testifies to this fact. In 1976, the temple
was taken over by the HR & CE department of the State Government. In
1987, Maha Kumbabishekam was performed.
Interestingly, the main deity Hanuman is place in one corner of the
sanctum sanctorum facing south. This is considered a rarity in
India. It is believed that, because devotees lit oil lamps at this
temple, it got rid of the harmful effects of Saneeswara, in one
stroke. The temple has been drawing thousands of devotees
steadily.
In the eastern corner of Ambur town, in a place called Anaimadugu, a
rocky foot print, believed to be that of Hanuman, receives special
poojas once a year during the Hanuman Jayanthi celebrations. It is
said that Hanuman holding the Parvatha hills in one hand and
standing on Saneeswara made a big leap from here to cross the Indian
Ocean to reach Sri Lanka where he gave the herb to revive Lakshmana.
