E is for Elephant- S is for Single - The ‘Alphabet Temple’

This is a vortex for higher intelligence. Set your intention on that and experience the transformation of your mind.

This is the spot where the Tamil alphabet came into being, an elephant was given darshan and today kids come to have their tongue written on.

Siddha Agastya was given the Tamil alphabet directly by Shiva here. Today parents bring their school age kids here to have the alphabet written on their tongue with a hibiscus flower. If the child is just starting school, then the alphabet is written on their tongue using a grain of rice. High exam results and excellent school grades are prayed for and given the amount of people that come to this temple for that service, the prayers are answered.

Children having problems speaking, like a stutter or stammer are brought here to do a puja and get an energy transmission, darshan, from the Shiva to cure their speech.

The entrance to the temple, the door to the inner sanctum and the inner sanctum itself are all huge. This is because the elephant of the king of heaven came here for darshan and today you can receive darshan at an incredibly close range.

Another story of the temple is that the king demanded that the accountant show the books of the temple the following day. The accountant was nervous and worried so as a devotee of Shiva, prayed to Him for guidance.

Shiva took the form of the accountant and presented the king with perfect books. After the king inspected the books the real accountant showed up ready for punishment for inferior accounting practices. The king heartily embraced the dumbstruck accountant. After piecing together to events, the accountant realized that Shiva had saved him.

There are 2 goddesses here: one in Her wedding posture blesses women expecting to be married to find a good match. The other goddess in penance posture blesses women wishing to lead a single life.

A great feature of the temple architecture is that the morning rays of the Sun fall on the Shiva Lingam in the inner sanctum 3 days in April/May.

There is another huge bronze Nataraj statue... This one not in India but in Geneva Switzerland...unifying ancient mythology, religious art and modern physics

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers have been probing the fundamental structure or creation of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – the fundamental particles.

Thousands of years ago, Indian artists created beautiful bronze statues illustrating Shiva’s dance, the source that created and continues to create the universe.

In 2004, this 2m statue of the dancing Shiva was unveiled at CERN. The statue, symbolizing Shiva's cosmic dance of creation and destruction, was given to CERN by the Indian government to celebrate the research center's long association with India.

The Shiva Nataraj. He embodies the Supreme Intelligence of the universe, unifying ancient mythology, religious art and modern physics.

Come explore the sacred spots in Tamil Nadu where Shiva Nataraj dances.

The Biggest Nataraj...and full of life...or else!

As the story goes...In a small town in South India...
the king wanted THE tallest, MOST beautiful statue of Nataraja to be created and installed at this temple. His request was for it to be ‘full of life.’

The expert statue maker made a couple of statues but they were rejected. The king gave the ultimate ultimatum to either come up with the statue within a stipulated time or have his head chopped off!

As the deadline neared the statue maker got anxious and depressed (as you might well imagine for someone threatened to be beheaded). He prayed to the Lord for Divine guidance on creating the statue that would please the king.

He had the molten 5 metals ready to be poured into the mold that he had created. An old couple came by and requested for some water to drink. The statue maker was in quite a state. In his tizzy, he pointed to the molten metal and told them to drink that if they were really thirsty.

To his astonishment, the old man drank the molten metal and then offered some to his wife. Before he knew it 2 statues of Nataraja & Parvathi stood at the spot where the old couple stood moments before.

The king, arriving to check the progress of work, was exceedingly pleased to see the statues. They looked so full of life that he could see the nails and body hair. He asked the statue maker how he created such a marvel. Trembling with devotion he told of his experience. The king was livid and thinking that he was being lied to, drew up his sword to cut off the statue maker’s head.

The sword hit the raised right foot of the Nataraj instead.
Blood gushed out and sprayed on the king and he immediately developed leprosy. Shiva appeared in His fierce form and told the king that he would be cured of this disease but he must offer prayers and perform abishekam to the Lord for 42 days.

The king followed the prescription for penance and was cured. Praying to the Lingam here is said to cure ALL diseases.

Nataraj stands here today in this bronze statue so full of life. He is so realistic that there is a mole under His left arm and the nerves and muscles are visible. You can see the scar on the right foot where the king’s sword hit. The priest says there are tiny hairs which drop during the abhishekam on Arudra Darshan in the Tamil month of Margazhi (December – January).

Oh that Nataraj smile... and the exquisitely beautiful Goddess at His side...

He’s Just Doing His Job
..and he is REALLY good at it. Saturn is a just planet. He only influences your life according to your own past actions or karmas.

As the story goes, Saturn didn’t really like his role as karmic task master. He was being blamed and held responsible for simply carrying out his assigned job. He made an appeal to Shiva who was pleased with Saturn’s attitude and in turn honoured him with the title of Eeswaran.

No other god other than Shiva himself, the supreme intelligence of the universe has this title. It gives Saturn prime status and respect.

That happened at the Thirukollikadu Pongu Saneeswaran Temple. Shiva directed that Saturn only blesses his devotees here. His right lower hand is in the blessing mudra (hand position) of 'abhaya hastham’.

Happy Saturn Darshan!

PS. Bhairava, Saturn's guru, stand opposite to him here. Another reason to visit this temple.

Nothing Escapes Saturn’s Influence!

Cassini space probe slowed 2 millimeters per second when orbiting Earth

Scientists have still not found any convincing explanation for the ‘flyby’ anomaly that occurs when space probes such as Cassini fly over certain planets and moons. Some have hypothesized the cause as solar radiation, some magnetic fields or the effect of tides or even that there is a halo of dark matter trapped by Earth’s gravitational pull.

Consider that a probe travels at a velocity of about 44 kilometers a second. 2 millimeters in one of those seconds doesn’t seem like much but imagine the power that it would take to completely stop the satellite while orbiting through space. Then 2 millimeters becomes a lot.

Cassini set out from Cape Canaveral in 1997 to reach and explore the exciting realm of planet Saturn and it took until 2004 for the probe to enter Saturn’s orbit. It was in 1999 while doing a ‘flyby’ of Earth that Cassini’s slow down occurred. Some say it happened over Thirunallar, a Saturn temple in Tamil Nadu India. They attribute the slow down to Lord Saturn, the slow moving one himself.

Scientists are still baffled, myth busters call the theory a hoax, yet others maintain the belief in power of Lord Saturn’s pull.

Once upon a time... 1 king ruled the entire world.

He learned that the planet Saturn was to transit into Rohini Nakshatra which according to a wise sage would cause famine everywhere for 12 years...doom and gloom for humans, animals, plants...every. living. thing.

The king launched Divine weapons (given to him as a reward for severe penance) at Saturn to stop him before he reached Rohini. The king’s attempts were futile since Saturn could destroy anyone just with one look. BUT Saturn was pleased at the king’s concern for the welfare of the planet and his sincere efforts.

The temple stands in the location that the pleased Saturn appeared to the king. Saturn is benevolent here and so very important place to venerate him. His 2 wives and 2 sons reside here with him.

Lord Siva is enshrined in the sanctum sanctorum at this temple and is called Ramanathaswami, also the name of Shiva in the island temple at Rameshwaram. It is said that Rama and Hanuman came here and it is considered as sacred as the temple in Rameshwaram especially for karma removal.

Food From The Gods

Anything can become Prasad but most often it is the term for a food that has been blessed.

Food becomes Prasad when it is offered to a deity, a saint or a Perfected Master who ‘breathes in the essence’ transmuting it to become energetically charged or blessed. After some time it can be eaten by the offeror as a precious gift from the divine. 'Prasad'...literally a gracious gift. The higher vibration of the divine, the offeree, is consumed by and becomes part of the offeror.

Basically, you give it to the divine, the divine blesses it and gives it back blessed.

Historically, Prasad was the term used to express the high state experienced by gods, sages, and other powerful beings who then would spontaneously grant good fortune. The offering of food stuffs in exchange for a transmission of this high state, a prayer answered or wish granted has since then become a regular part of ritualistic practice in temples, homes and at functions.

It is a mutual giving and receiving between humans and the divine. In many temples food Prasad is distributed among the devotees. This can be fruit, nuts, sugar cubes, cooked rice dishes or even full meals.

Each deity has a favourite for example Ganesha loves his ladoos, Saturn responds to rice and black sesame seeds, Krishna loves butter and other dairy products and Tirupathi ladoos from Balaji are world famous. (Ladoos are sweet balls made from clarified butter, jaggery- a raw form of sugar- and chick pea flour; recipes vary)

Archana plates available for offering at temples almost always include a few bananas and then vary with the inclusion of incense, specific leaves considered holy to the specific deity, seeds, ghee, turmeric camphor etc.

A great practice at home is to offer all of your food to the divine first. Then you are only taking in divine energy It will truly be Food from the Gods.

Every day this 'Snake Planet' takes a blue holy shower!

A well known miracle occurs at this temple daily.
When milk abishekam is performed on the statue of Rahu, the milk becomes tinged blue!

It is said that Rahu through the milk, absorbs the
karma of those who are blessed enough to watch,
especially 'doshas' in your horoscope- Kala Sarpa Dosha
or Snake Affliction.

It is best to go to this temple during Rahu Kala or the time of day ruled by the planetary energies of the snake planet or 'node' of Rahu.

This picture shows Rahu with his 2 consorts Nagavalli and Nagakanni.

Shiva is the main deity at the Rahu Temple or Sri Naganathaswamy Temple in Tirunageewaram just outside Kumbakonam (Tamil Nadu, India).

The King of Snakes- Adishesh- did penance to Shiva here and was blessed. (Penance is a punishment undergone in token for an acknowledged wrong doing and a willingness to make good) Tirunageeswaram loosely means village of snakes.

In a separate temple in the Rahu Temple complex,
Maha Bhairava guards divine mother known as Goddess
Girigujambal (a form of Parvati) during her prayers. She is here
with both Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Saraswati

From our friends at "Vedic Rituals"... the photo is great but in person the sunsets and sunrises beyond the temple towers are nothing short of spectacular...divine...

The main deity of any temple i.e., Shiva, Vishnu, Shakti are invoked and worshipped as a subtle body (Sukshma Deha) inside the Sanctum Sanctorum (Moolasthanam/Garbhagruham). The same deity is invoked as a Gross or physical body (Sthula Deha) in the Gopuram (Tower). So, even if you're too busy to get inside a temple and worship a deity, atleast make a small prayer or bow down to the physical body of the deity (Gopuram/Temple Tower)
