KSHETRA FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH 2015
THIRUVAZHUNDUR OR THERAZHUNDUR
Once there lived a king called Uparicharavasu. He was a
Dharmic ruler. He did a Purodasa Yaga worshipping Lord Vishnu. The Lord pleased by his yaga gave darshan to
him. He was surprised to see the Lord in person and shouted in joy. However the
sages performing the sacrifice there relented. They could not agree that the
king could see the Lord whereas they had not. Then the Lord spoke “Iam attained
only by those having devotion. I cannot be attained by Tapas, or Yoga marga. I
have given the king my darshan as he is full of loving devotion towards me. The
sages having heard this praised the king for his bhakthi. After the completion
of the yaga the Devas presented the king an aeroplane with which he could
travel anywhere around the world and attain success.
Once while travelling
in his vimana, he felt something pulling it. He came to the ground and was
stunned to see Lord Krishna grazing a cow. How come you are here Oh, Lord? Why
have you left the banks of Yamuna and why have you chosen the banks of Cauvery
instead, he asked. The Lord smiled and related to him an incident.
“ Once Lord Shiva
wanted to see me as little Krishna. He was meditating on my form when Parvathi
playfully closed his eyes. Angered by it he cursed her saying “ You are Vishnu
Maya. You , who close the eyes of one and all against wisdom are now trying to
close my eyes too. That which is devoid
of knowledge is a pashu (cow). May you become a cow. When the Lord showers his grace on you, you can rejoin me.”
Thus Parvathi became a cow at the banks of the river Cauvery and I looked after
her. Shiva too came here and had my darshan. With a fulfilled heart, my sister
Parvathi released from the curse went back to her loka. Now I stand before you
to show you my beautiful form.” Uparicharavasu was only too happy to build a
beautiful temple for the Lord Gosakhan- friend of the cow. Those who worship
this Lord will always beget victory in all their endeavour. The kshetra is
called Therazhundur because Uparicharavasu’s vimana was stuck here. The Lord is
called Aamaruviappan because he holds the cow close to him ( Aa- cow, maruvi-
hugging).

SLOKA FOR THE MONTH OF FEB 2015
" Nivaasavrukshaha Sadhunam Aapananaanam Para Gathihi
Aarthanam Samsrayaschaiva yashasaschaikabhajanam"
Vali proceeded to
fight with Sugreeva.Tara stopped vali.
She said “ This time Sugreeva has come with strong support.” Vali resented
saying “ Who would support Sugreeva after all? There is somebody to help such desperate
destitute. He is known by the name Rama.
Just as a tree is the refuge for various birds and insects Rama is the
refuge of all sadhus. Sages seek him wherever he is. Rama resolves the
suffering of one and all. 1) He killed kara, Dooshanas and protected the
rishis.2) He removed the curse of Viradha and Kabandha. Angadha said Sugreeva
had made friends with Rama. So please do not go for war” she pleaded Vali said “
I know about Rama. If I meet him I will bring him here. I will also teach
Sugreeva a lesson. He went with the thought of dying at the hands of Rama. He
was a prachanna bhaktha.

KSHETRA FOR THE MONTH OF FEB 2015
THIRUKOTTIYUR
Everybody knows that there was a wicked
asura by name Hiranyakashipu who harassed all sadhus. The Devas, Kinnaras, Gandharvas,
Sidhdhas, Vidyadaras, Kimpurushas, Garudas, Nagas, Pithrus assembled together
at a place as a goshti( group) and thought about the destruction of
Hiranyakashipu. Hence this kshetra was thenceforth called Thirukottiyur. (
Goshteepuram).
It was then that SowmyaNarayanan said I
will incarnate as Narasimhamurthy and destroy this evil asura.
This place has another significance.
There was a king called Purooravachakravarthy of Chandravamsha who ruled the
nation as a dharmic ruler. It was at this time that Urvashi of swargaloka was
cursed by Indra and came to earth, lived with Purooravachakravarthy. She had a
condition: As long as this goat ( pointing to the goat) lives with you I shall
live with you”, she said. Indra was freed from rancour and ordered the Devas to
bring back Urvashi. One of the devas secretly took away the goat and Urvashi
vanished. Puroorava was almost mad with lust. He mediatated upon Urvashi all
the time and went in search of her. At a particular place ( at Kurukshetra) he
saw Urvashi bathing in the Suryapushkarni and begged her to come along with
him. She said if he wanted her he had to do a sacrifice and pray to the Lord
that you may attain me in swargaloka.. The king did so, went to the devaloka
and lived with Urvashi. But this too was temporary. As soon as his punya was
over he had to be born again on earth. He incidentally met a sage called Kadamba
muni who told him” All worlds attained
through karma are temporary. But Vaikunta is not obtained through karma. Even
if you enjoy this bhuloka for years together , you will not be satisfied. What
is there to enjoy in a body which is nothing but an assembly of skin, muscles,
blood, bonesetc. Go to Thirukottiyur, worship SowmyaNaryanan, get freed from
lust and attin his feet. Thus the king did as advised and attined Vaikunta.
Those who come to this kshetra will be
freed from mental illness, physical illness, lust and other diseases of the
heart..
