Subject: [Oppiliappan] A virtual tour of divya desham I


> 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
