Copper Idols

            The copper idols cast between the 12th century and 19th century at different periods of time is guarded safely in the Thirupampuram Saedapureeswarar Temple.  (for details refer the book written by “Cheriththira Chemmal”  S. Krishnamoorthy titled Thiruppaapampuram 2002 pp 158-161 published by TSN 2002). 

            The four armed idol of Vinayagar with its ornamental arch (prabai) must have been made during the 13th century. This idol is now being worshiped as “Kanni Moolai Ganapathy”.  The trunk of the Ganapathy made out of copper is found holding a fruit.   

            The Chandrasekarar idol is one of the oldest idols.  It belongs to 13th century. Pradosha Nayagar idol belongs to the period of cholas.  The God and Goddess manifest themselves on the lotus seat with its leaves.  These are considered as the Paeria Thevar and Nachiyar Idols. Lord Shiva’s rear hand hold a deer and battle–axe and one of the front hands shows the sign of dispelling fear and assuring protection (Abhayam) and the other hand embraces the Goddess. 

            Aadalvallan idol has four arms and is found in a dancing pose overlooked by Sivakami and with a big arch behind.  The big arch contains 25 flames of fire (blazes).  Lord Nataraja is found on   a lotus seat with leaves with his plaited locks of hair hanging on either side.  Each side contains five plaited locks of hair.  In one plaited locks of hair manifests Ganga with her head bent.  Lord is wearing Cobra ear rings on his ears and is also found wearing a string of beads around his neck and other ornaments such as  bracelets on  his hands.

           

            Two sets of   idols of Subramanyar along with Valli and Devayani are found in this Temple. There is a bigger idol of Subramaniyar in a standing pose representing the destruction of Asura the Demon. He keeps his left leg pressed on the back of a small pea-cock.  The peacock is found holding a snake between its beaks.  He is carrying the low arrow in his front hands. The usual ornaments are decorating his chest.  He is dressed up to his waist. The right leg is found with a shoe and is placed on the floor. Valli and Deivayanai are found in their usual shapes.

            Those who worship Raghu-Kethu, the Lord and the Goddess of this holy place are expiated from their sins. Their wishes are also fulfilled.  Raghu and Kethu who are responsible for this greatness have their shrine located in the North-East corner.

            Thiruppampuram has the combined power of the other five holy places namely, Kudanthai, Thirunageswaram, Nagore, Keezhpermpallam and Kalahasthi.  This is the place where the Panchalingam represents the five faces of the Lord. Since Rahu and Kethu assumed and lived in a single body and worshiped Lord Shiva, this holy place is known as Raghu-Kethu Sthalam.

Legend

            The celestial serpent Lord Aadisesha is associated with Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu sleeps over the snake bed. This holy serpent offered worship to lord Siva on Mahasivarathri day (Holy night of Lord Siva. This festival is celebrated every year during English calendar Months Jan-Feb precisely on 13^th night/14^th day (Tithi) of the waning moon fortnight (Krishnapaksham).

           

            The legend speaks about the serpent’s worship in four different Siva Shrines.  In the morning the worship of Aadiseshan commenced at Kudanthai Keezhkottam or Nageswarar temple Kumbakonam (present name) and in the noon was worshiped Keezhperupallam (six kilometers from Kumbakonam) and later the third Thiruppampuram was worshiped and in the evening the worship ended at the fourth shrine Thirunagai Karokanam. Even today people offer worship to all these places of four Lord Siva Shrines on Mahasivarathiri day.

Sthala Puranam

            “Chariththira Chemmal” S. Krishnamoorthy is responsible for bringing out many sthalapuranams to the lime light which were available in the palm leaf form in many places in Tamil Nadu.

           

                        Puranams may be classified under the   following three categories.

                        1. Puranams attached with the name of Lord.

                        Example Vishnu Puranam, Siva Puranam.

             2. Puranams attached with the staunch followers (Thondergal) of the Lords.

                         Example Thiruththondar Puranam.

            3.  Puranams attached with the place of the Lord who resides in the temple. 

                          Example Kanchi Puranam, Chidamaparam Puranam.

           The third category is called Sthala Puranam.  Number of Puranams was found only under this category and some times more than two Sthala Puranams were found for the same place and Lord but written during different periods of time. “Chariththira Cemmal” Thiru.S. Krishnamurthy found a Sthala Puranam of Thirupampuram from Thiru Thiyagaraja Desikar, Thiruveezheemalai nearly 30 years back in palm leaf manuscripts. History of “Thirupampuram temple - including Thalapuranam text” written by Chariththira Chemmal S. Krishnamoorthy and it was published by Thiru TSN in 2002. In this book S. Krishnamoorthy says that the author of the Thirupaampuram Sthala Puranam in palm leaves is not known since two or three palm leaves are missing.

           Thiru S. Krishnamoorthy explains in his book that there is no mention in the Sthalapuranam that Thirupampuram temple is one of the “Raghu- Kethu Parikara Sthalam” and secondly there is no mention about the prayer of other snakes like Ananthan, Vasuki, Sutchgan,  Karkodan Sangabalan, Kuligan, Pathman, Mahapathman to the Pampuranathar in the Sthalapuranam except Adiseshan. It speaks about the twelve “Theerthangal” which were created by the Adiseshan, Indiran, Agni, Agaththiyan, Thakkan, Ganga, Suriya, Umaiyal, Chandran, Suneethan, Chilanthi Cholan.  

          Thirupampuram sthalapuranam begins with the prayer of Thygarasapilliar. Eight “Viruththappakkal” was found in this part. In the “Payiram” prayer songs and there is a mention about the people who were alleviated from the sins committed by them.  Including the “Payiram” fourteen “Cherukkankal” are found in the sthalapuranam. Next to the “Payiram- Cherukkam”  “Sthala Virutzham” is written in which a statement is found about 12 “Sthala Theerthankal” which were created by devotees of Saedapureeswarar.

        Thirupampuram sthalapuranam speaks about the importance of the Maha Sivarathiri which occurs during the month of “Masi”. During that time bathing in the river Kaveri at Myladuthurai is considered to be very valuable.    

        Thirupampuram sthalapuranam’s second   “Cherukkam” speaks about the prayer performed by the “Nagarasa”.

       Thirupampuram sthalapuranam discusses Lord Brahama’s prayer and the “Cherukkam” consists of sixteen “Viruththappakkal.” A statue of Brahma is found in the temple of Saedapureesvarar.

       Thirupampuram sthalapuranam consists of Devandiran’s  16 prayer songs. In most of the  Sthalapuranams the name of Devandiran is mentioned. ( to know more about Devandiran refer  book titled “Varalarril Vallam” written by S. Krishnamoorthy, Sekar Pathippagam. Chennai 600 078).

            Parvathi prayer songs were found shortly in the Thirupampuram sthalapuranam. Agaththiyar Prayer songs are found in twelve “Viruththankal”. Thirupampuram sthalapuranam speaks about the involvement and dedication of Agathiar for the development of Tamil language.

        Thirupampuram sthala puranam tells us River “Gangadevi” is taking bath in the Kaveri River at Mayavarm for 30 days during the month of “ Thula” and then she is moving to Thirupampuram during the month of “Karthigai”. “Gangadevi” continuously performing the prayer for sixteen years and she get relieved from the sins of the devotees which occupied in her body. 

            Thirupampuram sthala puranam speaks how “Agni” gets relieved from the sins he has committed by issuing nectar to all person except to Lord   Siva in Thakkan “Vaelvi Pooja”  and how he was graced by the Lord.

            Thirupampuram sthalapuranam gives a detailed account of “Thakkan” and his act of not giving respect to his “Son-in Law” Lord Siva. He was punished by Virabadthira who was created by Lord Siva by slaying Thakkan’s head.  Later on he came to Thirupampuram with the goats head provided by Lord Siva and worshiped the Lord to expiate his misdeed and he was graced by our Lord Saedapureeswarar.

          “Chandiran” who committed sin to his Guru “Prakaspathy” came to Thirupampuram and prayed to the Saedapureeswarar to get relived of his sin is mentioned in the Sthalapuranam.

          “Suneethan” king of Kasi as per the advice of “Vashista Munivar” who presented himself  in his dream  came to Thirupampuram to get rid of his Epilepsy disease  and performed the prayers as per the rituals and get cured and went back to rule his Kingdom. This incident is found in the Thirupampuram sthalapuranam.

           “Kochchenganan” alias “Chilanthi Cholan” alias “Chenkanan” came to Thirupampuram to get rid of the disease “Leukemia” and after taking bath in the “Brhama Theetham” performed Prayers to the Lord Saedapureeswarar for three years. His disease was cured by the Lord and ruled the Chola Kingdom for a longer period. The king arranged for the Chariot to run in the streets of Thirupampuram for the Lord.

            Jothida Mamani Dr. Ganapathy Krishnan is of the opinion that in the horoscope of an individual, Astrologers find many “Thoshams” but among them very important one is “Piththuru Thosham” This happens in one’s horoscope for not doing the necessary rituals to their ancestors for various reasons. This leads to “Kalaththira Thosham”, “Naga Thosham” and “Puththira Thosham”.

            Many families forget their “Kula Daivam” and they are not performing any poojas to the “Kula Daivam”. Astrologers predict for a person or family that they are   having “Good time” but they will get only 75% benefits. It is because the astrologers have to see the 5th place in the Lagnam to find the “Ancestral Punniyam” for the individuals. Then accordingly suitable “Parigara Poojas” can be performed   to get rid of the Thoshams.  

            “Parigaram”, “Pirayachiththam” and “Shanthi” are different from one another.   

            “Jothida Mamani” Dr. Ganapathy Krishnan is performing the following Poojas for the welfare of the people and society.

1. Kula Daiva Vazhipadu”
