SrI :

Dear BhakthAs :

We left Azhagar Koil around 9 A.M and arrived at ThirumOhUr 
with in the hour . ThrumOhur is 7 miles East from Mathurai  
in  a different direction from ThirumAlirumchOlai .

ThirumOhUr KaaLamEgha PerumAl & Mohana Valli
*********************************************************************
Here KaaLamEgha PerimAL , Mohana Valli ( ThirumOhUr Valli)
bless us with their darsanam from under Kethaki Vimanam on
the banks of KsheerAbdhi PushkaraNi. The PerumAL is prathyaksham
to Brahma and Rudran . Kethanki is the name for BalarAman .

ThirumOhUr Paasurams of Swamy NammAzhwAr 
*****************************************************************
There are 11 Paasurams by Swamy NammAzhwAr and one paasuram 
by Thirumangai in SiRiya Thirumadal , where he combines the Mangala
AasAsanam for ThirumOhUr with that of Azhagar at ThirumAlirumchOlai .

At the very end of His ThiruvAimozhi (TVM 10.1) , Swamy NammAzhwAr declares 
that He has no recourse other than KaaLamEgha PerumAL at ThirumOhUr:

" KaaLamEhatthai anRi maRRonRilam gathyE " (ananyagathithvam) .

" ThirumOhUr Aatthan tAmarai adi anRi maRRilam araNE "(ananya rakshakathvam).

" ThirumOhUr naNitthu nammudai nallaraN nAmmadainthanamE "(MahA ViswAsam).

Swamy NammAzhwAr performs UpadEsam for us about this dhivya dEsam 
to gain Moksham :

" ThirumOhUr naamamE navinru yeNNumin yEtthumin namarkAL "

The meanings of Swamy NammAzhwAr's 11 moving paasurams on
Sri KaalamEgha PerumAL are available at :

Lord Sudarsanar at ThirumOhUr 
******************************************
The description of the Vara PrasAdhi Sudarsana AzhwAr 
at ThirumOhur can also be accessed there ( Messages 00024 
and 00027) . This dhivya desam's Sudarsanar archai  has 
16 Hands and sixteen weapons in those hands . The agni jwAlais 
around Him and His dynamic pose in PrathyAleeDam are mesmerizing .
One has to recite Swamy Desikan's entire ShOdasAyudha SthOthram 
in front of Him to pay tribute to His full power :

sva-sanklapa kalaa kalpai:  
Aayudhai: AayudhEswara:
jushDa: shODasibhir dhivyair 
jushathAm Va: Para: PumAn ---SlOkam 1, ShOdasAyudha SthOthram  

( Meaning) : May the Prama Purushan and the King  of Sixteen 
weapons serving Him bless You with all soubhAgyams and
fill your hearts with joy ! These sixteen weapons are a small
portion of EmperumAn's sankalpa sakthi .( It is indicated by the SasthrAs
that Bhagavan's sankalpam took the form of SudrsanAzhwAn) .

Further , Swamy Desikan's SudarsanAshtakam , ThiruvAimozhi 7.4 
as well as Sudarsana Sathakam of Sri Koora NaarAyaNa Jeeyar
should be recited in front of Sudarsana BhagavAn . Archives contain 
postings on most of them .

For accessing these messages , please use the above URL 
and then go to e-mail archives section of Oppiliappan and 
then and do a search against the subject of Thirumohur . 

There is  a wealth of Information on ThirumOhUr 
dhivya dEsam assembled in the above three messages .
Hence adiyEn wont describe further the enjoyment of 
the dhivya darsanam of ThirumOhur Aapthan and 
Maarga Bhandhu here .

The Sudarsana-Narasimha Tatthvam behind the Joint Sudarsana-
Narasimha Moortham  is available for you at :

http://www.srivaishnava.org/sgati

Volume I Issue 8 , Nov 1997 (Author : Dr.M.Rangaswamy) .

Nrasimha-Sudarsana Tathvam
****************************************
The Narasimha Moortham on the back of Sudarsanar Uthsavar 
is not detatchable for seperate Thirumanjanam purposes as
at the new temple of PuzhuthivAkkam (MadipAkkam ) near Chennai . 
This Moortham of Sudarsanar at ThirumOhUr is revered as 
Maarga Bhandhu (Vazhi ThuNaivan) by the Truck drivers who ply 
the National route passing via ThirumOhUr .

Archai of KaaLamEgha PerumAL
******************************************
Sri KaaLamEgha PerumAL has Gadhai on His lower left 
hand like Lord VaradarAjar at Kaanchipuram . This KshEthram is 
recognized as the place , where Mohini dazzled the asuras and
distributed amrutham exclusively to DevAs . Hence The KshEtham
is called Thiru MohUr . The PushkaraNi is KsheerAbdhi 
and it reminds us of the Milky Ocean from which nectar arose
with the help of Sriman NarayaNan . ThAyAr's name is 
Mohana Valli , who enchanted the PerumAL taking 
Mohani avathAram once .

The archakars are very helpful at this dhivya dEsam .
This dEvasthAnam manages the administrative affairs of
Yaanai Malai Singa PirAn's cave temple . That is where 
we headed next this late morning .

Yaanai Malai Narasimhar 
*******************************
This is a Yoga Narasimha Temple carved out of a cave of Yaanai Malai .
It is 8 KM from Mathurai between Azhagar Koil in the North and ThirumOhUr
in the East .    

Yoga Narasimhar Temple is situated on the western side of Yaanai Malai ,
a hill shaped in the form of an elephant with stretched out trunk. The temple
is in a village called Narasingam . This temple was built by a Minister of 
Pandyan
King Jadiala Varaman in the year 770 A.D .The Minister's name is MaaRan Kaari .

Sthala PurANam of this Narasimha KshEthram
*************************************************************
Sthala PurANam states that the original Bhagavan appeared in response
to the prayer of Sage Romasa for progeny in the cave where the sannidhi
of Narasimhar is today . The Lord who appeared before the sage had 
the form of Ugra Narasimhar and the heat from that Moortham was too
intense to bear.The sage prayed to PrahlAdhan to mitigate the heat 
emanating from Ugra Narasimhar. PrahlAdhar was able to help a little .
The heat was still intense . The sage prayed next to MahA Lakshmi for 
intervention .
She arrived and quenched the Lord's ugra Jwaalais . She is worshipped as 
Narasinga Valli at this temple and She has a big Moolavar Mortham and Her 
Sannidhi faces South at the entrance of the temple .PerumAL uthsavar 
is also big in size ( 6 Feet) . Right now , BalAlayam is taking place
in the context of approaching SamprOkshaNam .

As a result of the intervention of MahA Lakshmi , Ugra Narasimhan
transformed Himself in to soumya Yoga Narasimhan form as at 
ShOLingar (Thirukkadikai ) hills . The Uthsavar here is in standing form 
with Gadhai and abhaya hastham . Narasimha Jayanthi celebrations 
are well known at this KshEthram . Sri KaalamEghar Of ThirumOhUr 
dehivya dEam visits SingapirAn on Maasi Maham day . 

Thirukkoodal Dhivya Desam
************************************
After resting  in the afternoon , adiyEn arrived at Thirukkoodal temple
in the center of Mathurai city during the evening . This dhivya dEsam is 
Known as Mathurai Koodal Azhagar Sannidhi .The Vimanam is AshtAnga 
VimAnam . Moolavar faces East in sitting posture . ThAyAr has four names : 
VaguLa Valli , Maragatha Valli  , VaraguNa Valli and  Mathurai Valli . 
PushkaraNi is Hema PushkaraNi and the Lord is Prathyaksham to 
Bhrigu Maharishi , Sage Sounaka and PeriyAzhwAr. 

Thirumangai and Thirumazhisai have performed MangaLAsAsanam with 
one paasuram each . PallANDu of PeriyAzhwAr was born here as 
PeriyAzhwAr was being taken on the back of the royal elephant 
around the Raaja Veethis of Koodal Azhagar after AzhwAr won
the bag of gold thru the etablishment of the Parathvam of 
Sriman NaarAyaNan .  PerumAL with Parijanams appeared in the sky on 
the back of Garudan and Ubhaya NaacchimArs to enjoy the sight of
His bhakthan being honored for his victory in the Raaja Sabha by
establishing His Supermacy . PeriyAzhwAr was ecstatic over 
the darsana soubhAgyam of the Lord with his own physical eyes on
this earth and sang PallANDu to ward off the effects of any evil eye
that might fall on the Lord . PallANDu is a prayer for the Lord's Svaroopam ,
Roopam , GuNa and  IswaryangaL to stay forever without dimunition 
and for a long , long life for the Lord .

In his PallANDu , PeriyAzhwAr performed his own MangaLAsAsanam 
for the Lord thru the first two Paasurams . Not being content with that ,
AzhwAr invited thru the next 3 Paasurams Bhagavath SaraNArthis ,
Kevalar and IswaryArthis  to join in the PallANDu for the Lord . During 
the next three paasurams the above set of adhikAris are seen to unite with 
AzhwAr (Aaahuthars become sangathars). In the final three Paasurams ,
all of them unite to sing about the Vaibhavam of the Lord and His Parijanams .
The last Paasuram is the Phalasruthi Paasuram . 

The Phala Sruthi Paasuram of ThiruppallANDu
***********************************************************
PallANDenRu Pavithiranaip-ParamEttiyai, Saarngamennum
villANDAn Tannai VilliputthUr Vittuchittthan virumbiya soll,
nallANDenRu navinRu-uraippAr NAMO NAARAAYANAAYAVENRU
PallANDum ParamAthmanaic-chUznthu irunthu yEtthuvAr PallANDE 

Upanishad BhAshyakArar's Commentary on this Paasuram
****************************************************************************
" Paavana-tamam ParamEshtiNam Saarnga-nAma-dhanurdharam 
SwAminam , Srinavyadhanva puravAsinA Sri VishNuchitthEna 
PallANDu ithyAdhi roopENa sAnurAgam krutham kaimkarya-
roopamEnam MangaLAsAsana Prabhandham abhyasya 
asmAkam sameechinOayam vathsara ithim anusandhAnA:
ananudhtithOpAyAscchEth PrapatthimanushtAya ,
anushitithOpAyAsccha bhOgyataya YaavacchareerapAtham 
dhvayam anusandhatha: dEhapAthAnantharasccha 
ParamAtmAnam paravruthyAvasTithaa: sarvAn kaalAn 
ithyAdhi gATAmanusandhadheeran  , Jithanatha ithivath , 
" yEthath SaamagAyAnnAsthE "  ithi hi SrUyathE " .

Here , Upanishad BhAshyakArar summarizes the Phalans from
the MangaLAsAsanam of PeriyAzhwAr's PallANDu Phala Sruthi
Paasuram : Our Lord is by nature ( svabhAvamAhavE ) Parisuddhan.
He is established in the dhivya SthAnam of Sri Vaikuntam . PeriyAzhwAr
(VishNu Chitthar ) of Sri VilliputthUr sang PallANDu to this Lord 
having Saarngam as His celebrated bow.

Those who recite this PallANDu dhivya Prabhandham composed with
highest order of Bhagavath bhakthi and in the mode of Kaimkaryam 
to Him by VishNu CHitthar will grant all soubhAgyams  be they people , 
who have done Prapatthi or not . If they have not performed Prapatthi , 
htey will complete UpAya anushtAanam and if they have completed
Prapatthi , it will let them recite Dhvayam as long as they leave their
body here and let them recite at Sri Vaikuntam Jitham tE sthOthram
and Saama GhAnam at all times front of Sriman NaarAyaNan surrounded by
His sakala ParivAram there .

With these thoughts ringing in adiyEn's mind , adiyEn engaged in
NidhrA yOgam and got ready  to travel next day to PeriyAzhwAr's
Sri VilliputthUr for the Mutthangi SamarpaNa Uthsavam .
