Eighth Wonder -2

Kshetram, nadhi (river), sindhu (sea), vanam (forest), pushkarani, puram and

vimanam are the seven punya vasthus. This Divya Desam is the one that has all

these seven entities. They are as follows:

Kshetram – Krishna kshetram

Nadhi – Kaveri

Sindhu – Thirumalarayapatnam (Eastern sea shore) kadal karai

Vanam – KrishnAranyam

Pushkarani – Nitya Pushkarani

Puram – Krishnapuram

Vimanam – UtpalAvataka vimanam

One among the five Krishna kshetrams (Thirukkannamangai, Thirukanankudi,

Thirkkannapuram, Kapisthalam, Thirukkovalur), this Divya Desam is known as

Thirukkannapuram. Perumal is called as Elephant on the eastern side in our

sampradayam is called as Saranya Mukundan by Nammazhwar. Neelamega Perumal is

the moolavar Thirunamam. He is in standing posture facing eastern direction

with Prayoga chakram. Utsavar is known as Sowrirajan. Thanikkovil Nachiyar is

known as Kannapuranayaki Thayar.

Adding to the link of seven punya vasthus, the eighth important thing about

Perumal is the link to the greatest mantram told in all Vedas. It is the

thirumantram. There are eight svayamvyakta Kshetrams. They are Salagramam,

Badri, NaimichAranyam, Pushkaram, ThiruVenkatadam, SriMushnam, Vanamamalai and

Srirangam. Each letter in the AshtAkshara matram refer to each of the above

Perumals. Sowrirajan is very special by the fact that He refers to the complete

AshtAkshara mantram. This is the eighth specialty of this Divya Desam. This

Perumal is referred even in Vishnu Sahasranamam. The 649th name in Sahasranamam

is Sowri. A gandharva king called as uparicharavasu worshipped this

Perumal. He was also worshipped by Dhantaka maharishi. The entire paddy field in

this Divya Desam was none but rishis who were worshipping Perumal. They were not

interested in their body (meaning able to differentiate between atma and body).

Hence, this vimanam is known as UtpalAvataka (utpalA refers to body. The

entire word conveys the fact that there is no desire for body) vimanam.

Let us continue enjoying the vaibhavam of this Perumal in the following postings

in this series.

aDiyEn,

ramanan

Dear Divya Ramanan,

Superbly written - every word is a nectar - don't know

and don't have words to express how much I enjoy.

Please keep up your excellent kaimkaryam...

Just a request - I am not sure if this question is

going to be covered in your next posting - can you

please explain in detail the connection between

thirumantram & akshtakshara mantram with this perumal

?
