Hello All,

I know Tiruchandur is not known as a Vaishnavite location. Neverthless
I just had to forward this email. I also have photographs which i
cannot post here in this mailing list.


------- Original Mail -----------
Tiruchendur Lord Murugan Temple is on the sea shore - within 100 metres of the 
waves. The Temple is a cave with the entrance at the sea level and the cave 
inside is sliding down to the Sanctum Sanctorum of the Lord Subramaniam ( 
Murugan ) . When we stand in front of the deity, the sea water level outside is 
higher than our heads. There is every likely hood that tidal waves and tsunamis 
can rush in and fill the cave Temple with sea water. In the history of the 
Temple, it is mentioned that the Water God ( Lord Varuna ) has promised Lord 
Murugan that he will not cross the boundary of the Temple.

It seems the Water God has kept his promise. While the tsunami on 26/12/04 has 
lashed the eastern coast of India
and inundated all places near the coast deeply, the sea water did not enter the 
Temple. At 10.00 Hrs on the fated day ( 26/12/04), the sea near the temple 
receded by a Kilometre - people could see there a big crater with rocks visible 
- gradually the sea came back to its original level. But sea water has entered 
Jeeva Nager located opposite Tiruchendur Bus stand at 12.30 Hrs.

All other coastal areas near Tiruchendur were affected by the lashing of 
tsunami. The Temple area is unaffected as the sea receded there as though to 
keep the promise given.
