• Theertham: Papanasini Theertham

The divine cow Kamadhenu is believed to be delivering milk to the lingam daily and the lingam is white. For this reason, the lingam here is also called ‘Paalvannanathar’ (in Tamil, ‘Paal’ means milk, ‘Vanna’ means colour). Other names of the Lord here are Oushadheeswarar, Marundheesar, Vedapureeswarar. The Goddess is also known as Thirupurasundari, Chokkanayagi and Sundaranayagi

 

 

 

 

 About the Temple:

 

The temple has two entrances, one from East Coast Road (ECR) and the other from West. The Entrance from the West Tank Street has got three gates whereas the entrance from the East Coast Road has only one gate. The west Raja Kopuram has five tiers. The Temple had renovation and the Kumbabishkam done in 17th March 1985.

 

The temple has smaller Shrines for Lord Ganesha, Lord Murugan. Lord Theyagaraja has separate shrine before entering in to Moolavar sannithi. While entering the Swamy Sannathi from south entrance, adjacent to Thyagarajar shrine one can see straight Lord Natarajar and Sivakami Ambal facing south. Natarajar and Sivakami statues are big and beautiful.  Lord Maruntheeswarar is in Linga roopam and he is suyambu ( Formed naturally and has not been sculpted by anyone ).  Kamadenu the devine cow from devalogam poured the milk on the Lord everyday and worshipped to get relieved of the curse from sage Vashishtar. Hence, the Lord has the name Paalvanna Nather. Paal in Tamil means milk. When Sage Valmiki came there to worship Lord Shiva, Kamadhenu ran in fear pressing its feet on the head of the Shivalinga, the scar of which is still visible on the presiding deity. Due to this for the Lingam they will do only milk abishekam. Other abishekams like Pancamirtham, Honey, Tender coconut water etc will be done only for the Avudaiyar ( ஆவுடையார் ), the base of the Lingam. He is facing the west. Suyambu lingams facing west are rare and very special also. The Vimana (tower above the sanctum) of the Moolavar Marundeeswarar is of Chaturvastam design. While entering through the eastern entrance straight we can see Lord Vinayakar and Lord Murugar adjacent to each other facing east. On the right side Goddess Thirupurasundari facing south in a separate shrine.  Ambal is in standing poisture. There is a pragaram in the Ambal's shrine without any koshta murthys. Sukravara Amaan is there in the Ambal shrine. 

In the Swamy sannithi Vinayakar Murugar, Natarajar, 63 Nayanmars, Sandeswarar (Two), Bairavar, Dakshnamurthy and Durga Devi are there. In addition the Lingams worshiped by Hanuman, Indiran, Barathwaj and 108 lingams are there. Sthala Viruksham Vanni maram is there on the west pragaram.




Thirupurasundari


Sthala Puranam:

Lord Marundeeswarar taught sage Agastyar about some devine medicine and herbals. Since then The Marundeeswarar temple has been a place of worship for people with diseases and various problems with their health. It is said that even The Sage Valmiki, who wrote the Ramayanam, came here to worship the Lord Marundeeswarar. Sage Valmiki was said to be blessed here. After this incident, this place was to be known as Thiruvalmikiyur, after a long period of time, the name gradually changed to Thiruvanmiyur. There is a place present in Thiruvanmiyur called Valmiki Nagar in his honour. There is also a temple built for Sage Valmiki in the middle of the East Coast Road. The temple is built very close to the Marundeeswarar temple west entrance.
Lord Brahma is believed to have conducted a festival here for Lord Siva. Appaya Dikshitar stayed in Vedaserini (Velachery)  and visited Tiruvanmiyur daily and worshipped Marundeeswarar. It is believed that since Appaya Dikshitar wanted to worship the deity, Lord Marundeeshwarar faces west.
Vedas, Sun, Sage Bringi were also worshipped Marundeeswarar.

Thonda Nadu Temple 24. Thirumayilapore

 SIVAYA NAMA

 

 

THIRUMAYILAPURE

Eastern side Rajakopuram



Kapaleeswarar Temple: Kapaleeswarar Kovil is situated in Mylapore, Chennai. About 2 KM from the sea. This temple one of the oldest. It was first built on the sea shore,  when the Portuguese captured Mylapore in 1566 AD they demolished the temple.Tiruvalluvar and Peyalwar lived Mylapore. Mylapore was a seaport and a trade centre is supposedly more than 200 years old. Centuries later the temple was built in the present place in Vijaya Nagar tradition indicates the present structure could have been built by king of Vijaya Nagram. The temple is famous for its sculptures

 

 

• Swamy: Arulmigu Kapaleeswarar
• Ambal: Arulmigu Karpagambal
• Sthala Viruksham : Punnai Maram
• Theertham: Kapali Theertham

 

Sthala Puranam:
 
 

Lord Siva and Karpagambal :
As per Hindu mythology, Parvathi the consort of Siva performed penance and worshipped Kapaleeswarar in the form of a Peacock ( மயில் ) – and hence the name of the place Mylapore. Kapaleeswarer is the presiding deity. In the Puranas, Lord Shiva is the guru of his divine consort, Parvati Devi. The legend says that the Ambal here, Karpagambal wanted to know the full meaning of the five lettered Mantra – Na Ma Si Va Ya – ( ஐந்தெழுத்து மந்திரம் - நமசிவாய ) and the glory of the sacred ash ( திருநீர் / விபூதி ). While Lord Siva teaching her, Ambal was attracted by a peacock dancing before her.Lord Siva was upset and cursed her to become a peahen. To get relief from this curse, she would join her after she worshipped him in the form of a Shiva Lingam3under a Punnai tree ( Alexandrian laurel ). After many years of searching, the peahen finally found such a Shiva Lingam in Mylapore (Southern Chennai). She then worshipped her Lord in this form, offering him flowers that she carried in her beak. Fulfilling his promise, Lord Siva released her from the curse and accepted her as his consort. He named her as Karpagavalli.As requested by Karpagavalli Ambal, Lord approved the name of the place as Mayilai, Later it becomes Thirumayilai and Mylapore.
 
Brahma and Siva :
Kapaleswarar (kapala + Eswarar) literally means "The Lord with the skull-bowl." Here, Shiva is depicted standing with an ascetic's bowl in the form of a skull in his hand. The skull is supposed that of the fifth head of Lord Brahma. Shiva is said to have plucked off Brahma's fifth head to teach him a lesson and to check his pride . Brahma represents the creation principle, and Siva represents destruction. The story symbolises how everything that is created must one day be destroyed. Furthermore, Siva's kapalam represents how the universe at end of a cosmic cycle is resolved into seed form. Then, from this kapalam, eventually springs forth the next creation.Kapalam in Tamil means skull, hence Lord Siva was praised as Kapaleeshwarar and the place is called KAPALEESWARAM.
 

 

Lord Murugan and Surapadman:
Lord Murugan performed penance in this temple before waging his war against Surapadhman. Kapaleeswarar and Karpagambal blessed their son and gifted him the weapon Vel (வேல்). Lord Murugan defeated the demon and made him as peacock. He used the peacock as his vahanam. He returned triumphantly as Singaravelan. Lord Singaravelan grant dharshan with his consorts Valli and Deivanai sitting on Iravadham. This is a rare darshan.

Poompavai and Thirugnanasambandar:
The first Tamil literature on this holy soil was the sung by the Saint Tirugnana Sambandar beginning with the line ‘Mattitta Punnayam Kanal’. These are the lines that brought Poompavai, daughter Sivanesar back to life who died of snake bite while plucking flowers for Siva Puja.

The story goes that one day a girl by the name of Poompavai was gathering flowers in a garden for the daily worship when she was bitten by a poisonous snake and died. Her father, a merchant named Shivanesan Chettiar, had deep faith in Tiru Gnanasambandar.

After her cremation, Shivanesan Chettiar placed his daughter's ashes in a pot with the firm conviction that the saint would resurrect her when he came to through the area in the near future. Indeed, when Tiru Gnanasambandar to the Kapaleswarar Temple, Sivanesan Chettiar approached him with his daughter's ashes. Hearing the man's sad tale, Tiru Gnanasambandar heart overflowed with compassion. He then broke out in a spontaneous 10-versed hymn in praise of Siva in the form of Kapaleswarar. When he reached the final verse, Poompavai emerged from the pot alive and well.
Tiru Gnanasambandar did not cast even a glance at Poompavai, the beautiful young lady he had brought back to life. Instead, he attributed the miracle to the grace of Lord Siva, claiming no responsibility of his own. Sivanesan Chettiar offered Poompavai's hand in marriage to the saint. However, Sambandar could not accept Poompavai for his wife as requested by her father, as he himself had now become her father by restoring her to life back. Poompavai spent the rest of her life as a virgin serving Lord Siva and attained the feet of Lord Siva.


It is also believed that Lod Brahmma, Vedas, Sukkiran and Ramar worshipped Lord Siva here.

 

 

Moolavar Arulmigu Kapaleeswarar

 

                   

 

About the Temple:

The Kapaleeshwarar temple is of typical  Dravidian Architecture  style, with the Kopuram overpowering the street on which the temple sits. This temple is also a testimonial for the vishwakarmas sthapathis. There are two entrances to the temple marked by the Kopuram on either side. The east Kopuram has nine tiers and about 40 m hight, while the smaller western gopuram faces the sacred tank. The temple is surrounded by four Mada Streets.There is a large tank on the western side of the temple.

 

While entering through the eastern side one can get the darshan of Vinayakar. All the Uthsava Murthys decorated on the Mandapam on the northern side of the eastern kopuram and all festivals are conducted through the eastern enterance. After worshiping Vinayagar while proceeding on the pragaram Singaravelar shrine is there facing west. Further on the left side Veda mandapam is there. On the left side of the mandapam Palani Andavar shrine and Vayilar Nayanar shrine are there.

 

In front of the Swamy Sannathi the gold plated Flag Mast (கொடிமரம்), Bali Peedams and Maha Nandhi  are there. From the mahamandapam one can see both Karpagambal and Kapalleeswarar from one place. Swamy facing west and Ambal facing south. Both Swamy and Ambal shrines have separate inner pragarams.

 

Kapaleeswarar Swaymy is a Syuambu Lingam in a raised position and visible to a wide spectrum. The Lingam is  big and majestic.

Vayilar Nayanar:

Vayilar Nayanar was a Vellala by caste. He belonged to Mylapore. He was a devout Siva bhakta. He constructed temples mentally and did manasa puja (mental worship). Vayilar built the temple of non-forgetfulness, lit the shining lamp of self-illumination, bathed the Lord in the waters of immortal ananda (bliss) and worshipped Siva with the elixir of supreme love. Thus, Vayilar obtained salvation.

Here is the life of a para bhakta — a supreme devotee. He had transcended the stage of idol worship. He had attained great purity of heart and clarity of inner psychic vision so that, without the aid of a symbol and without the help of rituals, he could raise his mind to the sublime heights of the Abstract.

The inclusion of this wonderfully simple life of Vayilar Nayanar is to point out that devotion is of many types, to suit the taste and temperament of different individuals. Whatever be the path the devotee chooses, ultimately they reach the same goal — union with Lord Siva. The Hindu sages have always declared that the spiritual path is not a stereotyped one. The Hindu spiritual path is not the same drug for all diseases; it is not the same food for all people at all ages (from infancy to old age!), but rather, the Hindu path is spiritual life adapted (within broad limits) to the needs of each individual. Everyone pursues the path (or the combination of paths) suited to him and ultimately reaches the same goal.
