resided in the time of one deluge, where the prodigy Thirunyanachampandhar was

born, was the place where Gananatha Nayanar was born. He came in the family

that considers the holy Vedas as their life. He excelled in his endeavours to

do all the kinds of services to the elegant Lord who appeared in the boat

there. His love for that Supreme Lord was overwhelming; his inclination to do

the services was surplus; his mindset for doing the perfect work for that

Perfect God was powerful; hence his hardwork was blessed by the Lord to

be great. He trained a number of interested souls in his work to do service. Lot

of people were attracted by his perfection in love

and service and thus the service kept multiplying. His motto was ‘it is

the service that is the ultimate worship’.

them in many fields depending upon the skills required and the skills the

persons possess. Growing and maintaining the gardens in the temple that give

the garlands for the God, plucking the fresh flowers of flowing honey, making

many mind-stealing garlands with them for the most beautiful Mahesha,

collecting chill and clean water as well as cow-milk etc. for the anointment of

the Lord, removing the dust from the temple of the Compassionate who removes

the rot from the heart of real devotees, washing the floors and vessels,

illuminating the abode of the Luminant with oil lamps, doing namasmarana on the

Charming Shiva were some among the services he trained them. He led an entire

mass of people in the path of liberation. He transformed the society to be

disciplined and delightful by doing all these services with love to the Lord.

font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:blue;font-weight:bold">With the wealth of

truth, love and service he led his wedded life leading to the achievement of

the goal of the family life. Offering respect and doing the needful he was a

servant of devotees. He had a great respect towards Thirunyasnachampandhar who

removed the pests of false and immature philosophy. His words and thoughts

inspired him a lot. He lived for those high philosophies transmitting the light

to all around.

lotus feet of the God by way of serving Him and lading the others to serve Him.
