Yaanamalai Narasimhar Thirukovil at Madurai and Jyothishkudi
The glorious Thiruvarangam… 21 Gopurams – 7 prakarams ….
~reverred as ‘The Kovil’ by all Sri Vaishnavaites – Srirangamis an island created by Coleroon [kollidam] and
Kaveri. The temple of Sri
Ranganathaswami at Srirangam boasts an historic past of great kingdom and a
civilization thousands of years old. It has flourished through various
dynasties though the invasion of Malikapur was a dark era. At that
time, Acharyar Pillai Lokacharyar [Pillai Ulagaryar] who was already 60+
by historical accounts along with his disciples Kura Kulothamadhasar and other
committed devotees, traversed miles carrying Arangan to safety as many
thousands sacrificed their lives fighting for the divinity………….
Around 150 km from Thiruvarangam is Yanaimalai [literally
Elephant hill] in Madurai, a protected monument. The hill does look like an elephant in
sitting posture. It is located in
Othakadai, 8 km in the outskirts of Madurai, stretching over 3 km and around
300 ft high. Yanaimalai has significance
for Jainese too. Tamil-Brahmi
andVattelettuinscriptions have been found on the hill.

Yoga Narasimha Swami temple situate on this hill, is a famous temple, dating back to Pandya
King JatilaVarman, also known as KomaranSadaiyan.According to the SthalaPuranam
of Madurai KoodalAzhagar Temple, known as KoodalManmiyam, sage Romasa had
installed the Narasimha idol in a cave in the hill.

In 1300s, Swami Pillai Lokacharyar at ripe old age, along
with trusted aides set out of Thiruvarangam carrying NumPerumal in a bid to
protect Him from the Islamic invaders who were plundering all wealth. On the
way, nearer Jyothishkudi [in Yanaimalai], Pillai Ulagariyar, unable to bear the
stress, attained paramapadham. Our
NamPerumal travelled places – Thirumalirumcholai, Kozhikode, finally
Thirumalai, returning after long years.
Today’s The Hindu reports of a news item about ‘Thiruman’
painted atop the holy hillock – being the subject matter of discussion by a section
of lawyers in the Madras High Court Bench at Madurai. It is reported that a lawyer reportedly is contemplating
to file a public interest litigation petition against painting of religious
symbol on the hillock since it had been declared a protected monument under the
Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958.
Two temples, one for NarasingaPerumal and another for Lord
Murugan, were situated in the foothills of Yanaimalai, and the ancient hillock
with a recorded history of over 2,000 years houses Jain caverns with Bas Relief
of Mahavira, Parsuvanath and others – and a group is objecting to
painting. According to the report, ‘Thiruman’ has been painted exactly on a rock
that resembles the forehead of an elephant.
“Painting on rocks is against an order of the Supreme Court
in 2002 when it fined cola companies for defacing the Himalayas by their
advertisements,” the advocate claimed.A priest associated with the Narasingam
temple clarified that they did not paint the ‘Thiruman’ and was not aware of who
painted the new one.The ‘Thiruman’ was in existence for some years now,
signifying the presence of Jothishkudi village below the hillock, where the
‘utsavar’ of Ranganathaswamy Temple in Srirangam was kept by Pillai Lokachariar
after it was taken away from the temple for protection from invaders. The
priest was not aware of who painted the new one, concludes the report.

Thirumalai Ananthalwar Uthsavam at Avatharasthalam - Siruputhur - 2015
ThirumalaiAnanthan
Pillai Uthsavam
at
his AvatharaSthalam - (Siruputhoor / Kiranganoor) near Melkote 2015
The
Hoysala empire ruled between the 10th
and the 14th centuries. The capital of the Hoysalas was initially located at
Belur but was later moved to Halebidu.
Art, architecture, Kannada&
Sanskrit literature and Vaishnavism
flourished during their reign.
On
way to Mysore from Bangalore lies Mandya district, region purportedly getting
its name, meaning a habitat preceding a civilization or roughly an ancient
abode. Then there is - 'Pandavapura' which literally means "Town
of Pandavas". Legend has it that the Pandavas during their period of
exile stayed here for sometime, and Kunti, mother of the Pandavas, liked the
hillock so much that it became one of her favorite haunts. The town has
historic relevance also as it was used as the camping ground by the French
army, which came to help Tippu Sultan in his war against the British. It is
believed that French named the small town as "French Rocks", as the
town is in the vicinity of two rocky hills. Pandavapura having paddy and
sugarcane fields is 130 km from Bangalore and 25 km from Mysore.
There are many jaggery manufacturing units too adding sweetness to the town
which has Cauvery water flowing through Visweswarayya Canal.
To
us, devout Sri Vaishnavaites, this place – to be specific a small village known
as Siruputhur ‘Kiranganoor’ [Hale Kiranguru] in Srirangapatnataluk is of
significance for its association with
one of our Acharyars. I have been posting
about the mahothsavam at the Holiest Thirumala for Sri ThirumalaiAnanthalwan, a
great Acharyar who did floral service for Thiruvengadamudayan, about 1000
years ago.
Sri
Ananthazhwaan was born in year 1053 near Mysore in a village called
‘siruputhoor’ ~ now called Hale Kiranguru in SrirangapatnaTaluk 571807 situate
on Pandavapura Station High Road.
When Udayavar was rendering
kalakshepam on Thiruvaimozhi, (the verse – sindhu poo magizhumThiruvengadathu –
meaning the place replete with flowers), Udayavar asked whether anybody would
do the pushpakainkaryam at Thirumala. Remember, Tirupathi was a very
dense jungle ridden with wild animals with adverse weather. Ananthazhwaan
readily came forward and said that he would go, if Udayavar so desires.
Udayavar was so elated that he praised Ananthazhwaan as the real man and till
date, his descendents have the name ‘ThirumalaiAnanthanpillai’ meaning manly.
ThirumalaiAnanthazhwaan
continued his floral and other services to Lord Srinivasar for many years. He
was so devoted in his service ordained by Ramanujacharya that for him, it was
service that was of primary importance, even when compared to
God. The Vigraham of Sri Ramanujar that we worship
inside the Sri Vari Temple was installed by him. ‘Sri
VenkatesaIthihasamaala’ is considered the best amongst the many works of
ThirumalaiAnanthazhwaan
For
the past few years, anniversary Uthsavam of Sri Ananthazhwaan is being
celebrated at his place at Thirumala. His descendants thought it fit to
organize one at his birth place too and this year on 23rdAug 2015
- his Thirunakshithira celebrations
were grandly conducted at his avatharasthalam at Kiranganoor. Understand
that till a few years ago, other than a slab nothing existed here ~ now it is a
beautifully constructed place having a temple tank, a Sannadhi where ThiruvengadamUdaiyan,
Sri Andal, Sri Ramanujar and Sri ThirumalaiAnanthanpillai, Swami Manavalamamunigalare
worshipped.
This
year being 3rd in succession, it was ‘Kaliyan’sPeriyaThirumozhi’
rendered by hundreds of Vaishnavaites comprising of Adhyapakars from Thirumalai, PerumalKovil, Thiruvallikkeni and
other divyadesams and of course from ThiruNarayanapuram. The function was
grandiosely well organized thanks to the
untiring efforts of Swamis from Melkote,
[unfortunately I am missing out the
details of the names of those Organisers
who did untiring work as they remained in the background ~ a visitor like me was awe-struck seeing the
spirit, enthusiasm and ease of people who visibly were Septuagenarians or
perhaps easily more]. My Pranams to those Organisers and thanks
to Dr. MA Venkatakrishnan swami [&
MA Madhusudhanan] for taking us
there. Understand that afew years earlier, a branch of the divine Magizhamaram from
Thirumala [‘PuraisaivariThottam’] planted here, has now grown well thanks to
the divine grace and pervading fragrance.
Let
us worship the feet of ThirumalaiAnanthalwar renowned for his knowledge,
devotion, steadfastness and more good qualities. Some photos taken yesterday at
his avathara sthalam are here.

Ascending the holy Thirumala by foot ~ ஒன்றுமே தொழ நம் வினை ஒயுமே!
For a Srivaishnavaite - visiting Divyadesams and having darshan of
Emperumans in these places are of utmost importance. When we utter – “Kovil, Thirumalai, Perumal Kovil “- reference
is to “Thiruvarangam, Thirumala Tirupathi and
Kanchipuram” respectively.
The sacred and most reverred temple
of Sri Venkateswara is located on the seventh peak – Venkatachala hill of
Tirumala. The Lord stands tall as bestower of all boons and lakhs of
people reach here to have a glimpse – a few seconds darshan of the Lord.
This beautiful temple in its present form owes a lot to the works of the
greatest Vaishnava Acharya –
Sri Ramanujar.
“Adi vo Alladi Vo Sri Hari Vasamu….
Padi Velu Seshula Padagala Mayamu” … Look and behold, this is abode
of Hari- the place where He resides, formed by the hood of Adisesha; place
where sages dwell uttering His name all the time; the place replete with riches
and prosperity, the Holiest of all places ….
sang Tallapaka Annamacharya [popularly
Annamayya], the 15th century musician who composed keerthanas on
Lord Venkateswara.
The sacred Thirumala, the abode of
Lord Venkataramana, [Balaji, Govinda, Ezhumalaiyan….] starts with Alipiri, the place at foothill of seven hills
in Tirupathi, from where pilgrims starts ascending the Holy Thirumala. Alipiri
literally would mean resting place. In olden days pilgrims used to climb all
the seven hills only through the stepped way on foot, as there was no other
option. The pilgrims coming from long distances used to take rest for some
time at the starting place [adivaram in Tamil] cooked their food, eat, heard legends of the
Lord and after rest, started climbing
the steps.
Now there are lots of facilities in
the hill; the roads are very well laid. The transportation is at its best
as there are buses at almost every 5 minutes from the foothill to the top – the
abode of Lord. Private vehicles too are allowed ~and there are so many new
cars, motor cycles, jeeps and other vehicles. In olden days, people used
to climb the hill afoot which was arduous. Sri Udayavar (Ramanujacharya)
used to climb the hill on his knees reverring the sacredness of the hill
itself. The starting point Alipiri
is around 5 km from the Railway Station / Bus stand and the temple of Sri
Govindarajar at Tirupathi.
The Seven hills have thick vegetation
and some animals too. Once in a while
some wild animals are spotted. A few
decades ago, there were lot of monkeys abounding the holy hills – [I thought them to
be common bonnet macaque; they were caught and taken out of Thirumala; this
time I spotted some, which looked like Gray langurs or Hanuman langurs, more
hostile than the macaque !]…….. What was thick vegetation and foothill of a forest
has in the recent decade been converted– to a spacious hub where vehicles and
persons undergo ‘security check-up’. The
transformation at this place in someways owes to that ghastly incident in Oct
2003, when the then CM of Andhra Pradesh
N. Chandrababu Naidu, survived an attempt on his life when suspected People's
War naxalites exploded improvised claymore mines targeting his motorcade on the
Tirumala ghat road. Mr Naidu suffered
some injuries – the impact of the blast
was so severe that the bullet-proof car was hurled in the air. A major
bloodshed was averted because the car could absorb the impact of the powerful
blast.……. Years later a Tirupati court on Thursday sentenced three persons --
accused in the Alipiri blast case to undergo rigorous imprisonment for four
years and to pay fine of Rs. 5,000 each.
Of the 33 accused in the case registered in Alipiri police station in
2003, 11 died during trial and 15 were still at large.
There are now 3550 steps [ a distance
of around 11 – 12 km ] and for a healthy
person would take around 4 to 4.5 hours
to climb the hill. The footsteps in most places are well covered and
there are shops along the way selling beverages, fruits, biscuits and the like.
Tirumala Temple Devasthanam [TTD] has elaborate
arrangements including care of the luggage of the devotees who ascend the hill
on foot. The baggage deposited at Alipiri is carried free of cost and can
be collected at the top. The bags should have a lock is pre-requisite. They also issue tokens facilitating special
darshan for the pilgrims, which is revalidated at another point. On the way stands a deer park
housing hundreds of deers, which
attracts people. At every point enroute,
you can see thousands of people climbing the hill by foot – the pilgrims
include children, youth, old people and those with some disabilities – all with
full faith on Lord Srinivasa, climbing happily singing paeans in praise of
the Lord and speaking of the greatness of the Lord.
At the starting point, a huge statute
of Garuda azhwar stands. There is Raja gopuram, Mysore gopuram, Gali
gopuram, tall statute of Prasanna Aanjaneya, steep steps known as Mokali
mitta (literally breaker of knees). On the way, TTD has installed statues
describing the Dasavatharam – 10 avatars of Lord as also that of Azhwars who
have sung about the divyasthalam. Near the Mokali mitta stands a
temple of our Ramanuja charya. Legend has it that Udayavar took rest at
this particular place, when he was climbing the hill on his knees.
Here are some photos taken recently
when I had the great fortune of climbing the divine hill by foot. In fact there is another path too – besides
Alipiri, there is another known as Srivari Mettu, nearer Srinivasa Mangapuram
in Chandragiri mandal. It is believed
that Srivarimettu is much older pedestrian path, believed to have been used by
legendary emperor Sri Krishna devaraya in 16th century. This path stands revived in a decade or
so. This reportedly is shorter route and
Thirumala can be reached in less than 3 hours. The facilities on this route are
perhaps less and there are time restrictions in using this path. While there
are frequent free buses of TTD to Alipiri,
it much less to Srivarimettu,
which passes through dense forest that has some animals.
Adiyen Srinivasa dhasan.

Sri Andal Thiruvadipuram - Sarrumurai purappadu 2015
16th Aug
2015 was a great day -
Thiruvadipooram [PuramNakshathiram in the month of Aadi] – a most blessed day
for all Srivaishnavaites – the day of birth of KothaiPiratti [Andal].
Sri
Andal whose birth occurred at the divyadesam of Sri Villiputhur excelled in her
singleminded devotion in service to
the Lord. She gave to us Thiruppavai and
NachiyarThirumozhi. On the day hailed by
our Acharyanin his ‘UpadesaRathinaMalai’ as a day
that has no parallel – there was the grand purappadu of Sri Andal with Lord
Parthasarathi on ekaasanam [on the same pedestal without ubayanachimar]
Here
are some photos of the grand purappadu.
16/8/2015 - மிகச் சிறந்த
நன்னாள் ! ஸ்ரீ ஆண்டாள் அவதரித்த தினம். 'திருவாடிப்பூரம்' ஸ்ரீவில்லிபுத்தூரில்
பெரியாழ்வார் பெண்பிள்ளையாய், நந்தவனத்தில், துளசிமலரில்
பூமிபிராட்டி அம்சமாய் தோன்றிய கோதை பிராட்டியின் பக்தி அளவிட முடியாதது. ஸ்ரீ
ஆண்டாள் அருளிச்செய்த பிரபந்தங்கள் 'திருப்பாவை;
நாச்சியார் திருமொழி".
Sri
Andal in her Nachiyar Thirumozhi
describes the Lord as having the white conch, wearing beautiful yellow
silken robes, having tresses on shoulders hovering like bees over His lotus
face, the Lord of immense compassion been worshipped at Vrindavan [Brindavan
nearer Mathura, where Krishna grew up !]
வெளிய சங்கொன்றுடையானைப் பீதகவாடையுடையானை*
அளிநன்குடைய திருமாலை ஆழியானைக் கண்டீரே? *
களிவண்டெங்கும் கலந்தாற்போல் கமழ்பூங்குழல்கள் தடந்தோள்மேல்*
மிளிர நின்று விளையாட விருந்தாவனத்தே கண்டோமே !
Let us fall at the
lotus feet of SrimanNarayana singing the verses of Andal – which will ensure
all goodness and prosperity.
AdiyenSrinivasadhasan.
