Akilandeswari blesses us giving relief to Breathing problems!!

Worship in Akilandeswari sametha Jambukareswarar temple in Pathiniyaalpuram village is a boon for devotees looking for relief from breathing or lung problems. Sathguru Venkataraman has revealed the sthala puranam of this temple for the benefit of all devotees!!The details were revealed in one of the publications of Agasthiar ashram.

https://agasthiar.org

Pathiniyaalpuram is a small village is located within saliperi village near Tiruvarur Nannilam route in Tamil Nadu. One has to travel in Tiruvarur Nannilam route and reach Saliperi. Villagers can be approached in order to reach this temple.

Since the Archaka comes to the Temple in the morning and stays here only for short time, one has to contact the archaka over phone and confirm in order to pray in this temple. The Google location of the saliperi village is as follows,

Akilandeswari sametha Jambukaaranyeswara temple

Agasthya vijayam publication book below reveals that Akilandeswari devi here has a natural hole in her nose (for nosering) that is the mooladhara bilam (hole) giving the prana jeeva shakthi to all living creatures-humans, animals, plants and all immovable objects in the ecosystem.

So donating a nosering to Akilandeswari here is a solution for all people suffering from breathing problems. Dhana dharmam in such ancient temples is for the benefit of this entire world. So this dhanam will bless us so that we get solution to our problems.

Please note that now the archaka is not able to directly place the nosering in the hole as it is partially closed now. So any nosering donated here is placed n devi's nose along with a block of sandal paste or chandanam. (To avoid any damage to vigraham as it is an ancient one) 

Wearing nosering as advised by ancestors is not a mere ornament but a way for regulating breathing. Gold has a property to retain mantra shakthi and gold nosering will bless the person wearing it with the mantra shakthi. Nosering worn by Aakilandeswari who is Akilanda Eswari or Empress of all the worlds, is for the benefit of all creatures.

The Agsthya vijayam publication cover page below gives all the details of Temple Sthala puranam,

Ramanujacharya : The Adhisesha Avaratam

Ramanujacharyar is the Adhisesha Avataram in Kaliyugam. Adhisesha took avataram as Lakshmana in Tretha Yuga, Balarama in Dwapara Yuga and Ramanuja in Kaliyugam.

Nammalwar was the Srivaishnava saint who gave the revered Nalayira Divya Prapabandam as Tamil Vedam in Alwar Tirunagari situated in Tamil Nadu. He lived long before Ramanuja was born in Bhoolokam. 

Madhurakavi Alwar wanted to revere a Vigraham of his guru Nammalwar and requested his guru for a vigraham. Nammalwar asked his disciple Madhurakavialwar to boil water from Tamraparani river  nearby and the Copper idol of Ramanuja emerged after boiling the river water. Nammalwar explained that he is the Bhavishya Acharya or the Acharya for the future generations. It is to be noted that Tamiram in tamil means copper. The Ramanuja idol is also a swayambu idol made of copper as seen below. This Ramanuja Temple exists behind the famous Adhinatha temple Divya Desam in Alwar Tirunagari. The murty there can be seen till date there.

Madhurakavi Alwar boiled the water of Tamraparani river for the second time as guided by Nammalwar. Now he received the copper vigraham of Nammalwar as he had requested.

Melkote

In Melkote Ramanujacharya brought back the famous Chella Pillai Perumal Utsava Murty from the Muslim King's Palace. The Utsava Murty is hence known as Chella Pillai as Ramanujacharya called him sweetly that way and immediately the lord walked in the palace from his room and came and sat in Ramanuja's lap. It is interesting to note that the Muslim princess was so attached to this Lord and could not bear his separation after Ramanuja brought him to the Temple. She merged her life in the Lord and is revered as Bibi Nachiyar in Srirangam.

The Chella Pillai or Cheluva Narayana Swamy Vaira mudi Utsavam is also very famous wherein the Lord wears the Powerful crown studded with Diamonds once a year during Chitirai poosam day. This Vaira Mudi or crown is said to belong to Lord Narayana himself in Ksheersagaram or Paarkadal. It was stolen by a asura and brought back from the asura to be consecrated here.

Ramanujacharya consecrated the Narayana Temple in Melkote. After organising worship procedures, Ramanuja was leaving Melkote and the disciples could not bear his separation. Hence Ramanuja asked disciples to make a Vigraham of himself and Ramanuja embraced the vigraham in order to transfer all his powers to the utsava murty. The Murty is known as Thamar Ugandha Tirumeni as seen below.

Ramanujacharya in Sriperumbudur

In Srirangam Ramanujacharya was giving a discourse to his disciples when suddenly he remained frozen like a statue for a few minutes. He regained normal consciousness a few moments later. His disciples asked the reason behind this unique behaviour and Ramanujacharya explained that in his Birth place Sriperumbudur, devotees had made a Utsava Vigraham of himself and was doing prana prathishta and eye opening ceremony for a few minutes. Hence Ramanujacharya said that he had to go there to Sriperumbudur in sooksham or subtle form for the Prana Parthishta. Hence the murty is known as Thaan Ugandha Tirumeni in Sriperumbudur as seen below.

Ramanuje being the Adisesha Avataram, once can see the serpent in the back of Ramanujacharya in Sriperumbudur. It can be seen during tirumanjanam or abhishekam

Ramanujacharya in Srirangam

In Srirangam temple, Ramanujacharya is present with his physical body for the past 1000 years and it is God's Grace that we are able to see the Sthoola Shariram of the Acharya. This is testimony to the fact that Acharya is the Adhisesha Avaratam. No other preservation mechanism is carried out for his body except for Pachai Karpuram and Kumkuma poo being applied in this Tirumeni. He attained the lotus feet of the Lord in Magha Sukla Paksha dasami, Saturday in 1137 AD listening to Diva Prapandam.

The Eyes of Ramanujacharya and his nails can be seen clearly till date when the archaka carries out the aarthi of Ramanujacharya.

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha!!

Tirumullaivoyal Temple is unique in many ways. One is that the swayambu lingam is covered with sandalwood paste all through the year. Only on tamil month Chitirai, Sadayam Nakshatra day, the sandalwood paste is removed and a new sandawood paste is applied to the lingam.

Sri Agasthya Vijayam, the monthly spiritual magazine details that there used to be a sannidhi for Dwara Shakthi Amman in this temple before 1990s. One had to have darshan of the dwara shakthi devi only through a small hole. After 1990s, somehow the devi sannidhi has been removed in the temple by mistake. 

Dwara shakthi Ambika is the devi who blesses women with Sowbhagyam and good children. Our bodies are said to have 9 Dwarams including eyes, ears, nose, mouth, places where we urinate/excrete, navel etc.

The Three devi forms protecting women during the 3 days of menstrual period has also been revealed by Sathguru Venkataramam in the spiritual magazine Sri Agasthya Vijayam. The sloka to be recited during the 3 days has also been detailed in their magazine. Chanting the slokas during menstrual period days blesses women with Sowbhayam, good children and relief from in laws problems as per Sri Agasthya Vijayam.

• Om Godhayi kulkarani devi: First day
• Om Kulavi malakarani devi : Second day
• Om Badhu bakshana karani devi : Third day

Dwara Shakthi Ambika in Tirumullaivoyal is said to be the unified form of the above 3 karani ambika forms. Worshipping devi here solves women's health issues related to fertility. Pooja can solve girls problems who have not attained puberty, women with irregular periods and also bless them with good children and sowbhagyam in life.

Sthala Puranam of Tirumullaivoyal

Once Thondaiman Chakravarthy king was returning from battle where he could not defeat asuras. On his way back, his battle elephant's leg got caught in mullai flower creeper. The king cut the creeper with his sword. The Swayambu Lingam under the mullai kodi got cut by the sword and blood oozed out of the creeper area.

The king tried to kill himself since he had tried to cut the lingam. Lord Shiva gave darshan to the king here and said he will remain without flaws despite having a cut in the lingam. Hence the name Masilamani eswarar. Shiva has a Gaja Brishta Vimanam or the vimanam in the shape of the back of the elephant.

Shiva sent his nandhi along with the king to fight the  battle with asuras again. The King won the battle the second time, The king constructed the temple here and Nandhi Deva is seen near the Sthala Vriksham, Mullai Creeper here. 

Nandhi does not face Shiva here and faces outside. This is because nandhi was sent to battle along with King to defeat negative forces. Hence he faces outside till date.

Mullai Kodi/Creeper is the Sthala Vrisham here

Vellerukku Thoon/Pillar

The king brought two vellerukku thoon or pillars from the asuras and installed in front of the Shiva Lingam here. 

The Velerukku thoon/pillars are home to many celestial angelic beings well versed in medicine and cure even incurable diseases. Agasthiar.org details that devotees should circle the pillars and donate sesame oil, coconut oil and shikakai powder to poor people here in order to get cured of their diseases here. Also ven pongal is to be donated here. The weblink given above in this post details the same.

Also this temple is the place where Indra got cured of his nervous problem and hence worship here solves ones nervous problems.
