THIRUVAHEENDRAPURAM:
This Divya desham is mentioned in brahmandapurana, skandapurana, As per
skandapurana, devas pleaded for gods help when asuras defeated them. The lord
then used his sudarsana and destroyed all the asuras. Realising that paramatama
has come to their help, shiva who came to help asuras then surrendered. The
lord then gave darshan to shiva as " TRIMOORTHI SWAROOPA (Moovaragiya Oruvan)".
At the request of devas and rishis . The paramatma stayed here and took the
name DEVANATHAN . the archa avataram of SrIman Narayanan .. This kshetra is
called Tiru Aheendrapuram as it was conceived and constructed by adishesha .
Garuda and Adhishesha brought Viraja and Patala ganga threertams to this
kshetra . These are used for thriumanjanams and making prasadams (thaligai) for
the perumal ans thayar. The vimAnam is similar to the suddhasatva vimanam at
vaikuntam . Stone inscriptions in the temple refer to the deity as 'Ninraruliya
Mahavishnu' and 'Ezhisai naada perumaan'
This kshetra is also favorite to our swami Desikan , as our swami will be
presenting rathanangi to perumal during the Tamil month of puratassi/ Iypaasi .
Our swami Desikan worshipped Garuda atop the gill Oushadhagiri hill that is
near the temple and was blessed there with Hayagriva mantram and vigraham of
Yoga hayagriva. There is temple for Lakshmi Hayagriva perumal atop that hill.
The hill has 74 steps which signifies 74 simhasanapathies established by Swami
Bashyakara .
Markandeya maharishi did penance here and our Devanathan married the daughter
of the Maharishi , HemAbhjavalli
and both the father-in-law and the bride of the of the Lord took their place on
either side of the perumal . There are sannidhis for Chakarvarthi Thirumagan
and Raajagopalan here . Long time ago their was swami namazhwar's idol was
discovered under a tree . Hence there are two idols of swami namazhwar in His
sannidhi .
Their is a sannidhi for our Swami Desikan and the dazzling beauty of the
vigraha of our swami is beyond description . This is a vigraham constructed by
our swami himself , when some one challenged our swami on his title of
Sarvathatra Swatantra . Here our swami also constructed a well which still
available
This divya deshams can be reached by bus as well as train . The nearest station
is thiruppaapuliyur or we can take a bus from koyembadu and get at cuddalore
and take mofasal bus from cuddalore to thiruveendhapuram
