KSHETRA FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL 2015
THIRUCHENKUNDRUR
Jagajjyothi vimanam, thiruchchitraru, seen by Lord Siva
At the banks of Sanga theertham lord Hari stands at
Sonashailapuram ( thiruchenkundrur). Once upon a time there was a powerful
asura by name Andhaka. He performed severe penance. Brahma bestowed on him a
boon that he will not be killed by any weapon of the Devas. “ Indra’s
vajrayudham, or Yama’s dandam, or Varuna’s pasam or Vayu’s gada,, Rudra’s
parasu or Vishnu’s chakra, or Muruga’s vel ( trident) will not hurt you” said
Brahma. But as he was of a vicious nature he began assaulting all the Devas.
The Devas sought refuge under Lord Siva. As Siva fought a tough battle Andhaka
disappeared from His sight. Even Lord Siva’s parasu failed to succeed. Siva came down to Malayadesham at the banks of
sanga teertha and performed penance. The Lord appeared along with Durga,
lakshmi and saraswathi. The Lord said ‘” Previously I took the avathar of
Hayagriva and killed the asuras who took away the Vedas. I shall now give to
you the same shoola which I used in that battle.” It was at that time that a
girl who was the amsha of Lakshmi was born to a sage called Aprunar. She was
named Sarawathi and wanted to wed me. In the Hayagrivaathar I married her.
Andhakasura is Tamas embodied. Only the shoola which is wisdom personified can
kill him. Brahmavidyaswarupini Durga killed Mahishasuran with this same
weapon.” Having said thus the Lord ordered sarawathi and Durga to give the
shoolam to Siva. Lord Siva inturn waged a war and killed Andhakasura.
Thus this kshetra has the deities of Siva, Durga, Vishnu(
hayagriva and Saraswathi. Those who worship them at this ksehtra will beget
longevity, health and success.

SLOKA FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH 2015
“ Thvam Aprameyascha Durasadascha jithendriyascha
Uthathamadharmikascha
Akshayyakeerthischa Vichakshanascha Kshithikshamaavan kshathajopamaaksha”
Sri Rama killed Vaali. Vali’s wife, Tara was a chaste lady. She came
running, hid her face in his bosom and cried aloud. With tears in her eyes she
lifted her face to see Rama. With the Kodanda in his arms Sri Rama was standing
there in his full majesty. She understood atonce that He was none but the
Supreme Almighty. She then cried to him
“ The Supreme
Lord cannot be understood by any of the senses. He cannot be understood even by
assumption. He can be understood only by the sastras. You who can be understood
only by the sastras have taken this incarnation and you stand before me as a
human. You have controlled your senses. You are Dharma personified. Everyone
has to learn the dharmic virtues from you. You are of blemishless fame.. If one
wishes for fame, he would beget it by reciting the Ramayana. You are as
forbearing as the earth. He was patient even when Vali was chastising him.
When Tara thus
spoke Rama’s eyes became red with tears as he thought within himself “” I have
made a chaste lady ( Tara) cry, though for the sake of another chaste lady (
seethe).. Tara saw his eyes and called him “ Oh Lotus eyed One! Please send me
to the same loka as that of Vali.” Rama consoled him through Hanuman.
