Embodiments of Love!
I visited my ancestral village
in Feb 2017;
It is called Thirupazhanam;
there is a temple called Sri Abathsahayeswarar temple
The Moolavar( main deity) is
called Abathsahayeswarar
His consort is called
Periyanayaki THaayaar;
There are a few personal
things here;
My ancestors occupied the
village and were patrons of the temple; elders have died and remaining have
shifted;
The priest said that we belong
to Shri Appodhi Adigal clan and we are bound to do service to Siv and he swears
that I will go back to Shri Abathsahayeswarar and Amma Periyanayaki Thayar
The temple is slowly
undergoing changes: the unwanted weeds and plants have been removed
Lord Nataraja has recently
been installed and abhishekam (bathing the Lord) has been done;
I will skip unwanted things;
the temple team is planning for Pradhosha urchavam with Swamy Purappaadu(
celebreation of Pradhosham by bathing the Lord and Bull and decorating with
flowers and taking the Urchava moorthy around the temple)
As such pradhosham is being
observed with simple abhishekam’
Since there is no vehicle to
carry the Lord there is no travelling of Lord;
I spoke to the priest; Rs
60000 is the estimate for making the bull( rishbham)
I am planning for a big
contribution over and above sponsoring a few pradhoshams out of 26 numbers.
Lord Siva is calling me for
something.
धन्यवाद:
See you in the next episode
With lots of love
