Thiruvarur Thiyagaraja temple BY Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To all,

 

Thiyagaraja temple is one of the biggest temples in the town of Thiruvarur in

South India.

 

The chief deity Shiva assumes the name Thiyagaraja. 'Raja' denotes a king.

 

The lion is called 'mruga raja' as it is the supreme among animals. Garuda is

'Pakshi raja' as it is the chief among birds. A supreme artist is honoured with

a title, 'panditha raja'. Likewise, Lord Parameshwara, has the title,

'Thiyagaraja' — the supreme among sacrifices.

 

What did He sacrifice? He sacrificed the 'self'. Thus, sacrifice of the 'self'

is the supreme sacrifice.

 

The Navagrahas in this temple are not positioned in a block as usually in

temples. They are all in a straight line! More over, as

they are in the court of

the king - King Thiyagaraja, they appear submissive and obedient.
