As I see renewed interests among youngsters and dharmic oriented people who are keen to learn about our temples, our glorious history and scriptures, thought of sharing this.
Do listen to ‘Periyava puranathil Periya Puranam’ by Balaji Bhagavathar.

Wonderful upanyasam on Periya puranam with beautiful anectodes and descriptions. Total 102 episodes and I just completed 50.
Immerse yourself in bliss listening to Nayanmars’ glorious lives full of unbridled Bhakti, Sacrifice and mesmerising Tamizh.

For friends who cannot understand Tamizh may miss out on this. However, I will try to post the life history of Nayanmars thro’ my posts on ‘TEMPLE OF THE DAY’ series. Started with Sundarar in Thiruvennainallur yesterday. Do check this space.

TEMPLE OF THE DAY: On this auspicious day of Karthigai Somavaram, let us know about a glorious temple which stands witness to a divine play and bears the footsteps of Lord Shiva in its premise.

Sri Kripapureeshwarar temple in Thiruvennainallur, Villupuram dt, TN @punarutthana

This is that divine place where Lord Shiva appeared as an old man claiming Sundarar ( first of 63 Nayanmars Shaivaite saints) as his attendant on his wedding day.
Here, the Lord is called ‘Atkondanadhar’ and Supreme mother blesses us as ‘Mangalambigai’

The current structure of this temple with its enchanting Dravidian architecture is probably more than 1400 years old.
Sundaramoorthy Nayanar, considered to be the reflection of Lord Shiva born as Nambi Aroorar in Thirunavalur few kms away from Thiruvennainallur in 8th century AD.

Nattrunaiyavadhu Namachivayame 🙏🏻

With divine grace, Annamalaiyar Arappani Kuzhu led by @pollaavinayen is involved in Uzhavarapani of dilapidated temples since 2006.
Today’s post is about one such revival activity done in 2019. @punarutthana @raaga31280

An ancient dilapidated Shiva temple probably as ancient as 700 years was lying in ruins in Koogaiyur around 250 kms and 12 kms from Chinna Salem on Salem-Perambalur road.

@SaveTemplesBH

Inscriptions day the Lord’s name is Karyampureeshwarar. With glorious linga thirumeni, the Lord’s presence & divinity was undeniable there. One could feel His presence. With no roof, He was drenched in sun, rain, wind continuously for centuries.@SaveTemplesBH

Om Namo Narayanaya 🙏🏻

Thondai Nadu, northern part of ancient Thamizhagam with northern boundary at Thirupati is a treasure trove of divine temples. Also the birth & tapo stal of great saints.

One such ancient temple was brought to light by Annamalaiyar Arappani Kuzhu recently

@pollaavinayen

Sridevi Bhoodevi sametha Sri Adi Kesava Perumal temple at Bagasalai, 45 kms from Poonamallee near Chennai. This temple was in a highly dilapidated condition when Kuzhu surveyed it before Uzhavarapani.
@pollaavinayen @punarutthana @raaga31280

Probably there was no Pooja done for last 200 years. Villagers themselves avoided this place as it was home to many poisonous snakes. The temple structure was completely hidden in dense vegetation.
A video below when team surveyed the temple before Uzhavarapani
