Kanchipuram, also known as Kamakoti Peetham, is one of the fifty Shakti Peethas in the holy earth of India (India). The perfect image of Sri Lalitha Tripurasundari is the original idol of Arulmigu Amman Kanchi Kamakshi.

MYTHOLOGY  

 

Mother Kamakshi Kalaimala (Saraswati) and Thirumakal (Lakshmi) are her two eyes. The story of Mother Kamakshi Devi's awakening in Kanchimana, which boasts of its glory, is a powerful history.

Once upon a time, there was a monster called Bandakasura. He made many serious mistakes and received many gifts from Lord Brahma. With the gift of power and arrogance, he seized the three worlds and inflicted great suffering on the gods and the sages.

As the suffering of Bandhakasura was increasing day by day, the more suffering gods and sages went to Lord Shiva and cried out for their suffering. Shiva, realizing that Bandhakasura was so powerful because of the gifts of Lord Brahma, sent him to Parasakthi, saying, "The power to destroy the Bandhakasura is with Mother Parasakthi."

At that time, Mother Parasakthi Devi, in the Kanchipuram known as Kama Kottam, was sitting in a cenotaph and meditating on Lord Shiva. The Devas and sages came to the place where Mother was, and they worshiped her and told her their sorrows.

Amused by their plight, Anna promised to kill Bandaka and solve their plight. At that time, in a dark cave, Bandakasuran, knowing that he was sleeping, decided that it was time to kill him.

She came to Kanchipuram with a foot on Bandakasura's neck and a foot on her chest, chopping off his head and lifting one hand. The gods and sages who saw the Mother in furious form trembled and fell in fear.

Wanting to relieve their fear, Mother immediately showed them the image of a beautiful silky little girl with a smiling creepy face. The gods and sages who were so impressed by the sight, praised her many times.

Then she told them to dig a ditch in the place, bury the bandakasura in the ditch and erect a pillar in the burial place. When the devas dug a crater at the behest of the mother, they found a deadly monster named Malligan.

They prayed to Lord Mahavishnu to destroy the demon and save it. Accepting the demand of the gods, Mahavishnu fought with Mallaka. But every drop of blood from Malligan's body transformed into a monster.

Thus he created a giant monster army and fought a fierce battle with Mahavishnu. Mahavishnu, seeing that every drop of blood emanating from the demon's body was transformed into a demon, called upon Lord Shiva to help him.

During the battle, Lord Rudra came as Murthy. He created two giants and ordered them to drink all the drops of blood from Mallagan's body so as not to fall to the earth. The Giants did just that. Thus, once more monsters were prevented from appearing, Mahavishnu destroyed the demon with his samurai.

Then, as the mother ordered, twenty-four pillars were erected near the place where the burial of Bandhakaran was erected, and the Gayatri Hall was erected, and within that hall, a beautiful pedestal, and an image of the Mother was worshiped. Then, shutting the door, they were praising Mother from outside.

The next morning, at sunrise, they opened the door with great reverence. What a surprise. There they were amazed at the spectacular scenery they saw. Yes, in the middle of the Gayatri Hall, instead of the statue they installed, Goddess Kamakshi Devi gazed at the beautiful temple.

It is a friday day with the Tithi and the Pura star in the day of Svayambu Manuvantra, Kritha Yuga, Srimukha year, Krishna Paksham. Kamakshi was seen as the Raja Rajeswari, the infinitely compassionate king.

In the center of the Gayatri Hall, Mother appeared to the south east, with four arms, in the Padmasana column. In her four visions she found affection, inch, flower arrow, cane.

The devotees and sages who were so impressed by the beauty and kindness of Mother, prayed to Mother, to sit there and bless the world. According to their prayers, Kamakshi Mother sits on a beautiful pedestal amidst the twenty-four pillars of the Gayatri Hall.

Today, in the center of Kanchipuram, Mother Kamakshi Temple stands out as a beautiful and magnificent temple with five levels of beautiful Rajagopuram, a place of devotion to the eyes and mind. Mother Kamakshi in this temple is in the form of the three forms of the pillar, sudum, reason.

(In most temples, one of these forms appears in two forms)

Those three forms are:Kamakodi Kamakshi,Anjana Kamakshi ,Kamakodi Peetham.

Kamakshi Amma is known as Mahadevi, Tripurasundari, Rajarajeswari, Kameshwari, Nayaka, and Kamaswari.

Kamakshi Ambal is the leader of all Shivalayas in Kanchipuram. Thus, in the Shivalayas in Kanchipuram, there are no separate constituencies for Ambal.

Kamakodi, the original is an archana Lakshmana Anjana Kamakshi on the left side of Kamakshi. It is the microcosm of the mother. This mother has no form.

He is the head of civic affairs at Kasi. He was the one who cut off the head of the brave Brahman. He is the lord of the planet Saturn, making from the strongest planet in the new planet.

In all Shiva temples, he is seen with the dog vechile in the northeastern direction known as the Eisani corner. Apart from this, there are many temples dedicated to Bhairava.

HISTORY

History of the temple is connected with the local history of the Ramayana period. Rama, the Sri Lanka warrior, was killed by Lord Brahma, Siva lingam in Rameswaram to worship Dosha, to be worshiped, Ramabran. He sent the permission to bring and took a Shivalinga from there and returned.

        But he did not ask for the permission of the Kalabairavar, who is the guardian deity of Kasi. By the way, Bhairavar blocked the permission to take Shivalingam. At the same time many of the devas came there and demanded that Lord Shiva lingam for the puja of Lord Rama be allowed to go. At the request of the gods, the Kalabairavar, half-heartedly allowed Hanuman to take shivalingam.

         However, the mind of the colonist did not find peace. With the help of Surya Bhagavan and Varunabhava, Hanuman was severly thirsty. On his way to the Shivalinga, Hanuman thirsted.

         Kalabairavar said to Goddess Ganga.Accordingly, Gangadevi made a pond there. Upon seeing the pool, Hanuman got excited. at that speed his enthusian was fading. Can anyone drink water from a Shiva Linga in his head? Hanuman looked round. The waiter appeared in front of him as a boy.

         He gave the boy a Shiva Linga and said. "For whatever reason. Shiva Lingam should not be put down". The delay was that Hanuman went to that side, and the boy, the collar, put Sivalingam on the floor and disappeared.

         When he returned, he was started to find that the Shivalinga he had brought was on the ground. He tried to take the Shivalinga by the hand. He couldn't take it. He tried to hug the tail. But coud not realizing that it was only Kalabairavar who got the Shiva Lingam from him, Hanuman worshiped Kalabairavar and got another shiva linga and went to Rameswaram.

         In a fit rage, Hanuman threw a small mountain into the pond. The Shiva lingam brought by Hanuman for the worship of Ramabran was consecrated on that hill. The place was also known as Ramagiri.

         Lord Hanuman was nicknamed 'Valeeswarar' by  the Lord of grace in this temple. Anjaneya and Lord Nandidevar displays straightly to the lord's Shrine. Ambika's nickname is 'Emerald'.

         The Kalabairavar, the cause of Shivalinga's dedication at this level, is called 'Santana Prabdhi Bhairavar'. Kalimata's Sunni can be seen next to the Bhairav Sannidhi. Also, there are a host of deities like Lord Ganesha, Lord Brahmadevar, Vishnu Shanmugar, Veerapatra, Dakshinamoorthy and Surya Bhagavan.

Thillai Nataraja Temple Chidambaram

THILLAI NATARAJA TEMPLE CHIDAMBARAM

Our ancestors were the earliest people who studied the Philosophies of the Punjab. We are familier with the four types of Panchpathas - land, water, air and fire. But the "Sky" is at an attitude that is not as easy as that of the Lord. Lord Shiva is the "Nataraja" in Chidambaram, who makes the sky a feature and blesses the devotees. Here we will learn more about the "Chidambaram Nataraja Peruman" temple.

HISTORY

Chidambaram Nataraja Temple is one of the oldest temples in tamilnadu. Lord Shiva is known as Nataraja, Ambal Umayambigal and Tirpurasundari in this place.Through the self - styled Thirumoolnath is the organizer of the temple, Utsavar Nataraja is worshiped as the main deity.

The construction of the Chola Kings is an example of this, many Chola Kings have supported the shrine at all times in the 9th century, King Paranatakai gave "golden roof" to the shrine of Lord Shiva. History states that one of the Pandya Kings. Sundara Pandya, also built the eastern tower of the temple. The inscription states that during the reign of Rajendra Chola, the king of Cambodia handed over gold and gemstones to the Lord of the temple through his ambassadors.

Here, Shiva Perumana appears as Nataraja, a "Cosmic dancer" who is said by modern physics and nuclear scientists say he is the center of the earth the beneath the thumb of his foot. The dancing Lord Shiva is also known as the "goat". Spread over an area of 51 acres. It is one of the largest temples in Tamil Nadu and India. Chidambaram Nataraja Temple in "Panchabhuta" refers to "sky". The special feature of this temple is that the three sons of Lord  Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Shiva are members. Govindaraja Perumal, one of the 108 Vaishnaya Divya Natios, located near the Nataraja Perumal Sanctuary, is a fine example of Saiva and Vaishnava unity.

In the past, Lord Shiva was worshiped in this place, the sage called Matyanthan. Every day, Lord Shiva worshiped and worshiped Lord Shiva in the forests near this place. He regretted that such flowers would not be used for Shiva, Since each time the flowers were absorbed by the bees, most of its was absorbed by the nectar. Lord Shiva registered that he could not go in the dark before the bees were able to pick flowers.

The Lord Shiva, who appeared before him, climbed into the trees  and plucked the flowers, and the leopard's feet, and the sight of the leopard, who had the power to see in the dark, gave the Madhyandians a gift. Due to this, the Madhyanadians named the Vaikiram, which means the Venkat, from the day the sage was called "Vyakripadhar". Lord Shiva is blessed by the presence of Vyakira Pada Sage and "Patanjali" Sage, the father  of "Yogakalai".

ARCHITECTURE

The word "Chidambaram secret" is remembered by all as Chidambaram. The real secret of this is to explain the philosophy of life  that we are nothing when mixed with the knowledge of "Sith"and "Ambaram". That is why the principle of the shrine is screened in the presence of a while light, to offer the liturgy, and then remove the vevil and shown the witchcraft to the devotees.

The temple is built according to the philosophy of the human body invented by the Siddhas. The 21,600 gold tiles in the temple are  the exact number of breaths a man can breaths in a day. The 72,000 nails implanted in the horns refer to the 72,000 nerves that run through the human body. The 9 gates in the temple represented the 9 holes in the human body. The pillars of the temple made up of 5 steps of Ponnambalam representing the five letters "Sivayanama", 64 Satyam trees representing 64 arts, 96 windows representing 96 philosophes, 4 Vedas, 6 Shastras and 5 gurus.

During the months of the month, the special worship of Lord Shiva is performed by singing "Thiruvemba". The month of Thiruvathirai is celebrated with great fanfare. On special days like Anirithramanjanam and Mahasivarathri, special rituals are performed for Lord Shiva. The worship of Chidambara Nataraja is the consensus of the Sivanadiyas of salvation. They come here with all the demands and requests in mind and say that they will surely be fulfilled by worshiping Lord Shiva. Chidambaram Natarajar Temple is one of the most visited temples in the country.

Vibeshan, Who wished to worship the Lord on his way back to Sri Lanka, gave the idol of Lord Narayana to the idol of Lord Ganesha, and went to the banks of the river Kaveri, for no reason.

It was tie for Vibeshan to come down and Vinayaka left the Achilles. Vibeshan later realized that the statue of Narayana had been put down and that it had been gratly transformed. Narayanan then told Vibhishana that he wanted to stay here as an Asari. But he voted for Vibeshan, saying that he was looking at the southern direction of Sri Lanka.

Dharma Varma Chola, who ruled the region at that time, built a temple for Ranganathar. At times there was a great flood in the river Cauvery, and the river was completely buried in the river. One of the Chola Kings who came to power later came to the river daily to find the Ranganathar's temple. One such time, when the ranganathar temple was buried in the sand, the rituals were recited by the Vedas during the Ranganatah pooja with this, he rebuilt the site of the burial shrine and called it "Kilicholan".
