ARUPADAI VEEDU (Six Abodes of Murugan)

Arupadaiveedu are six temples dedicated to Lord Muruga, all of them are in Tamilnadu.

1. ARUPADAI VEEDU 1: Thiruparankundram
2. ARUPADAI VEEDU 2:  Palani
3. ARUPADAI VEEDU 3: Tiruchendur
4. ARUPADAI VEEDU 4: Swamimalai
5. ARUPADAI VEEDU 5: Thiruttani
6. ARUPADAI VEEDU 6: Palamudhirsolai

ARUPADAI VEEDU 1: Thiruparankundram (Madurai)

We reached  Thiruparankundram temple  around 5:30pm. This is a very big temple. As soon as we enter temple we saw colourful carvings of Horse and Mythical animals on each pillars at the entrance of the temple.

We  walked further and noticed Durga Idol. People were throwing Venne undai(Butter balls) on the Durga idol. When i asked person there they told its for good, however i did not get correct reason of why this is done.

.We walked further reaching a big mantapam, with various carvings and idol..Crossing that mantapam, we reached a huge door. Once you pass through the door you will find actual temple Mantapam. Lord Murgan is the main deity here..

Legend of this temple is, Lord Muruga at the end of Soorasamharam stayed here, along with his soldiers. As a gift for victory, Lord Indira married his daughter Deivanai to Muruga. To commemorate this event, Lord Muruga is worshipped as the presiding deity of this temple.Poet Nakkirar has composed a  poem about this Temple and is called Thirumurugatrupadai. Thiruparankundram is a rock-cut hill temple dedicated to the Lord Subramanya Swamy. It is referred as the "Southern Himalaya" in various classical Tamil texts, where the gods assemble. Some Legends mentioned Thiruparankundram as the place where the sun and moon abide.



ARUPADAI VEEDU 2: Tiruchendur (Tuticorn)

Yet to Visit. 




ARUPADAI VEEDU 3: Palani 

Yet to Visit. 



 ARUPADAI VEEDU 4: Swamimalai (Kumbakonam)

Swamimalai means Gods Mountain. It is fourth among the Padai Veedugal. The sacred story associated with this temple is that Lord Karthikeya expounds the meaning of pranavam (AUM) to His father, Lord Shiva, at this location. Hence, one can see the Lord Karthikeya depicted as Guru (teacher) and Lord Shiva listening as shishya (disciple)in the raja gopuram of the temple complex.

The reinitiation and reassertion of the knowledge takes place after an intense debate with regards to the pranava mantram (AUM) between Lord Brahma  and Lord Karthikeya, during which Lord Brahma fails to adequately convey the meaning of AUM. Hence, Lord Karthikeya suspends Lord Brahma from his duties by imprisoning him. Lord Shiva and Goddess Shakthi object and Lord Shiva asks Lord Karthikeya if He(Murugan) is aware of the meaning. In response Lord Murugan says that He is well aware of it and that He will teach Lord Shiva the meaning of the mantram if He(Lord Shiva) will take Him (Lord Murugan) as His Guru. 

Thus Murugan imparts this universal mantra to His father. The Murugan here is also known as Swaminathan and "Thagapan Swami" (literally "Father God" - referring to the fact that Murugan taught His father and hence was His father's Guru.)

ARUPADAI VEEDU 5: Thiruttani (Chennai)


                                       

Tiruttani is  85kms from chennai.. On one of our
visit to chennai, we decided to go Tiruttani.

We started home at  7;00am, and reached temple
by 9;30am. We had darshan in next 30mins....

 

Tiruttani is one of the Arupadai Veedu, six abodes of Lord Subramanya and is situated in Tiruvallur district. Tiruttani is the Fifth Padai Veedu of Lord Muruga. It is 84 km away from north west chennai . The temple is situated on a hillock. Three Hundred and Sixty five Steps lead to the shrine, each step representing a day of the year. Lord murugan fiercely fight with Surapadma at Tiruchendur, the anger of muruga wanted to reduce his anger. He reached Tiruttani Hill to reduce his anger, that is why Tiruttani is called as Thanigai malai. Tiruttani is also known by many other names. That is Purnagiri, Kshanikachalam, Mooladri, Neelotpala.

ARUPADAI VEEDU 6: Palamudhirsolai (Madurai)

We then went to Palamudhirsolai,one of the six abodes of Lord Subramanya which is on the same hill, down the Nuburagangai. There is a famous legend associated with the temple. It is said that Awaiyar, a famous Tamil poet and a Muruga devotee, came here, she became tired while travelling, and sat  under the shadow of a fruit tree and was very hungry and thirsty. At that time, a small boy who was sitting on the tree asked her whether she wants fruits to eat from the tree. She replied yes. Then, the boy asked Avvaiyar whether she wanted roasted fruits or unroasted fruits.Avvaiyar thought, "Is there any roasted fruit in the world?" then she asked him to give roasted fruits. The boy shook the tree and fruits fell under the tree. The fruits are stuck with the mud as soon as they fell down. To remove the mud, Avvaiyar took the fruits and blew on the fruit. It looked like as though  fruits were roasted and had become warm, and Avvaiyar had blown the fruits to cool them. The small boy asked Avvaiyar whether the fruits are warm that your blowing it to cool down.. Avvaiyar was amazed by the whole thing and thought "How did a small village cow boy played such an intelligent drama?A beautiful comparison between blowing the air on the fruit to remove the mud is like blowing air to reduce the heat as the fruit is roasted. Such a beautiful comparison would not have risen in her mind even though she had gained rich knowledge in Tamil." She asked the small boy, "Who are you?"Then the small boy disappeared and  Lord Muruga appeared. This incident is believed to have taken place in Palamudhirsolai..

Palamudhirsolai temple

Palamudhirsolai temple is middle of beautiful hills, surronded by green lush. It was drizzling, when we got down. We immediately entered the temple which inhouses a beautiful idol of Lord Subramanya...We had darshan and headed to next place...

Santana srinivasa Temple: 

Though temple might be new, Idol is believed to be 650 years old. As this deity is believed to give boon of a child for those couples who do not have child, the deity is called as Santana Srinivasa Perumal. The word "Santana" means child. Due to this, the area was named as "Maha Peru" meaning "boon of a child". In due course it became  Mogappair. The main shrine has Lord Santana Srinivasa Perumala (Vishnu) in the standing posture. The idol is gigantic and is 9.5 feet high. This seems to be a replica of the famous Balaji idol of Tirumala; however, it is taller than that of Balaji idol.

DESTINATION 3: Mangaladevi temple

Mangala devi temple is situated in mangalore.. Legend of temple is  Kundavarma, the king of the Ahepa dynasty, was ruling Mangalore. During this period, there were two holy saints of Machendranatha and Gorakanatha, who came from Nepal,  reached Mangalore.Hearing about the arrival of the two saints, the king came to meet them. He paid his respects & offered them patronage. Pleased with the humility and virtues of the king, they informed him that his kingdom needed to be sanctified  which  was dedicated to Mother Mangaladevi. They requested him to grant them land so that they could build a hermitage and make it a centre for their religious activities under his protection and patronage. King kundavarma learnt from his mother  the story of Vihasini and Andasura, Parashurama and the temple built by them. The two saints took the king to the sites where all these historical events had taken place. They asked the king to dig the place and relieve the lingam and the dharapatra symbolising Mangaladevi and install them. Kundavarma carried out the advice of the two sages.

DESTINATION 5: Lord Manjunatheshwara at Dharmasthala

Dharmastala is the main piligrim centre for  lord shiva followers in karnataka, this temple is located on banks of netravati river in Belthangandi taluk.Legend is that a person called Anappa, used to work for the Heggade family. Once when the Heggade he was serving wanted to worship Lord Shiva, Annappa had assured him to get one linga and vanished from the sight. Surprisingly next day morning, by the time all woke up, he had already established the linga in Dharmasthala, few metres away from Heggade's house. Later it was known that the Linga was from the Kadri temple(Mangalore). By then, Annappa had vanished and he was never again sighted in the vicinity. Now people in Dharmasthala worship Annappa as a local god.Around the 16th Century, Devaraja Heggade invited Shri Vadiraja Swami of Udupi to visit the place. The Swamiji gladly came but refused to accept Bhiksha (food offering) because the idol of lord Manjunatha had not been consecrated according to vedic rites. Shri Heggade then requested the Swamiji to reconsecrate the Shivalinga himself. After doing so, Swamiji arranged for the pujas for the Shivalinga according toMadhwa practices.Pleased by the observance of the vedic rites and Heggade's charity to all, the Swamiji named the place Dharmasthala, the abode of religion and charity. Thus, the roots of charity and religious tolerance established by the Pergades 600 Years ago have been nurtured and strengthened by the Heggade family. Free food "Anna Daana", is provided to devotees.The average flow of pilgrims is about 10,000 people everyday.We reached dharmastala around 12:00, seeing the big que, we took special tickets, which got us darshan in 45 mins, then we headed to Annapoorna hall to eat lunch. By the time we came out after lunch, it started pouring big time for an hour, so we stood under a shelter, where most of our bus people also came after having darshan and lunch, we spent a quality time of an hour, discussing about  different things inculding  our cultures, temples and gods and also about politics and stuff...

 DESTINATION 6:  Southadka Mahaganapathi kshetra (Dharmasthala)

The uniqueness of the place is Lord Maha Ganapathi is out in the open field and there is no proper structure of the temple.A lot of cows can be seen freely wandering around the place of worship. In Kannada language, Sowthe means  cucumber' and Adka means 'field'. Cowherds in this place were growing cucumber and they offered the same to Lord Ganapathi of this place during their worship. Hence, means 'this place gets the name as Southadka. According to the sthala purana of Southadka, a Ganapati temple revered by a royal family was once destroyed by enemies. Not to let the enemies destroy the beautiful idol of Ganapati that was at the temple, cow herds of the place carried it along with them and installed it in a place where cucumber was grown in plenty. Since southe means cucumber and adka means meadow in Kannada, the place soon gained popularity as Southadka.The farmers of the place reaped huge harvests of cucumber, offered it to Lord Ganapati and even wished to build a temple there. But, according to a popular belief, Ganapati graced their dreams and asked them not to build a temple for him at Southadka as that would mean restrictions on devotees visiting the place to seek his blessings. The Lord expressed his wish to remain in open air with no formal structure surrounding him so that devotees could access him round-the-clock. Lord Ganapati’s wish was the farmers’ command and to this day the Lord sits majestically in the lush green surroundings of Southadka, blessing his devotees 24/7.

DESTINATION 5: Aadhi  & Kukke Subramanya

Kukkesubramanya  located in the village of subramanya in Sulia taluk of Mangalore.According to Mythology, after killing  Tharaka, Shurapadmasura(Demons) and their followers in a war, Lord Shanmuka reached Kumara parvatha.He was received by Indra,  who prayed Lord Kumara swamy to accept and marry his daughter Devasena. Thedivine marriage took place on Margashira shudha shashti at Kumara parvatha. Gods like Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra and many other deities assembled for the marriage and coronation ceremony of Shanmukha for which waters of several holy rivers were brought. With these waters of Mahabhisheka fell down to form a river which was later known by the popular name Kumaradhara.The great Shiva Bhakta and Serpent king Vasuki was performing tapas for years in the Biladwara caves of Kukke Subrahmanya to avoid the attack of Garuda. Following Lord Shiva`s assurance Shanmuka gave darshan to Vasuki and blessed him that he would stay with his parama bhakta in this place forever. Hence the poojas offered to Vasuki or Nagaraja are nothing but the poojas to Lord Subrahmanya.

We reached temple around 6:00 pm.Guide told us to  visit  Aadhi & kukke temple, which is  within walkable distance of 5 mins, and told us this temple is famous for Sarpa dosha nivarana.
