KSHETRA FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE 2013

                                       THIRUVAALITHIRUNAGARI

Lord Narasimha manifested Himself from a pillar and tore Hiranyakashipu into pieces. All the Devas were terrorised. Even lakshmi felt grievous and left for Thiruvaali, a kshetra called Bilvaaranyam to do penance. She did not like the Lord in this fearful form. She was born in the Ahlada theertham there, created by Prahlada Himself. She was named Amruthavalli. She sincerely prayed to her Lord who appeared before her one day. The Lord embraced Amruthavalli. She spoke to him thus “ Oh Lord, isn’t it true that by your grace the poison turns into nectar, fire turns into sandalwood and water becomes land. Then why is it so that Hiranyakashipu remained an enemy to Prahlada all his life. Why didn’t you change his mind? Instead you chose to kill your devotee’s father , isn’t it an act of shame? For the welfare of the three worlds you killed that asura. But isn’t your devotee more important to you than the three worlds? You made your devotee fatherless. Thats the reason why I left you and came here.” The Lord smiled and consoled her “ My Dearest Laksmi, I had to kill Hiranyakashipu only because of the curse of the sanakadis. Prahlada Himself knew this. Hence he did not find fault with me. But I realise that you love Prahlada so fondly as to pinpoint my fault. I appreciate your vathsalya bhava towards Prahlada. But it is neither my fault, dear. Understand. Lakshmi thus was pacified and lakshmi Narasimha chose to bless all at ThiruvaaliThirunagari. Those who worship LakshmiNarasimha here are  always rid of their sins. This is the avathara sthala of Thirumangai azhwar. Since the Lord gave darshan to him in his wedded pose the Lord is called KalyanaRanganathar.

SLOKA FOR THE MONTH OF MAY 2013

“ Dusheela Kaamavrutho va Dhanairva parivarjithaha

Sthreenam Aarthaswabhaavaanam paramam deivatham pathihi

Kimpunaryo gunaslagyaha saanukroshaha Jithendriyaha

Sthiraanuraago Dharmaathma Mathruvathpithruvathpriyaha”

A chaste woman is always focussed on serving her husband. Very noble women believe they serve their husband in this world and the outer. A wife shares in her husband’s  happiness and sorrow. She consoles her husband in sorrow. As an example Sita comes along with Rama during his exile and serves him there too. She shares his sorrow.

                                    Sri Rama sent away Bharatha with his paduka. After Bharatha left Rama also left Chitrakoota. Rama heard of the difficulties the sages were experiencing due to Kara and Dhushana. He left Chitrakuta with the aim of helping theses sages. He came to the ashrama of Athri who showered his affection on Rama. Anasuya happily welcomed Sita. Both were highly chaste women. Only a noble lady can truly undersatnad the high mindedness of another chaste woman. Hence Anasuya appreciated Sita’s chastity. Anasuya said “ whether a husband is of good character or not, whether he is rich or not he is truly a Lord for a wife. Your devotion towards your husband is truly appreciable. You followed him even in exile, thus she extole Sita.

                               Sita replied” Who will not love Rama? He is full of virtues. He is full of compassion. He has controlled his senses. He loves all. He is a righteous man. He loves me too. Who will not love such a person? “ Anasuya praised Sita for following Rama to the forest. Sita inturn surrenedered the praise too at the feet of Rama and said “ he is the reason for me being so’.
