Krishna / Shani Trayodasi

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

Seeing the captioned thread I just couldn’t resist talking about this

particular Shiva temple, which is very different from others, and which temple

I had the good fortune of visiting the other day.

The tiny hamlet, where this Shiva temple is located is called Surutpalli. It is

situated around 60 km away from Tirupati. Infact it is closer to Tamilnadu and

is just 4km away from Uthukottai. It is 9kms from Nagalapuram, where the only

Matsyavatara temple in the world (according to my humble knowledge) is

situated.

Contrary to the “lingarupa” which is invariably associated with Mahadeva (except

for Dakshinamurthy), the idol at Surutpalli shows the Lord in a reclining pose,

very much like Lord Vishnu. This manifestation is supposed to be the

“Tatpurusha” aspect of Mahadeva. Let me share with you the interesting legend

woven around this temple and Krishna Trayodasi.

During the churning the Ksheera Saagaram, “Halahalam” (deadly poison)

originated before “Amritam” (nectar). To save the universe from the burning

halahalam, Lord Shiva drank the poison. Then, Sarvamangala, Compassionate

Mother of All, wanted to restrict the poison to the throat of Shiva so that

the worlds cocooned in His belly wouldn’t suffer and pressed His throat

accordingly. The poison was so powerful that even Rudra choked and was overcome

for a moment by the poisonous fumes. In the sanctum sanctorum of Surutpalli

temple one sees the Lord lying in a swoon, his head cushioned in the lap of

Mother. Around this central tableau, there are figures of Brahma, Vishnu and

all the demigods and rishis. When Shiva recovered from the swoon, He saw the

waiting congregation and then the Pure-Hearted One danced in great ecstasy. The

grateful gods and worlds joined Him joyfully. This

celestial event took place on Krishna Trayodasi and from then onwards, every

Krishna Trayodasi is celebrated as maasa shivaratri and the “pradosha” on this

day is supposed to be especially auspicious.

I request all members to forgive me for this non-astro mail.

Regards,

Lakshmi

Dear Lakshmiji and Ramadasji,

 

Lakshmiji, thanks once again for your usual heart warming mails, it is very nice

to read them, pls kindly post more often.

 

Ramadasji, thanks for ur mail, incidentally I had already moved out of home and

visited both the Shani temple and also Shiva temple which are 5 mins away from

my house.

 

Can I request you all to pls keep on informing us list members regularly about

such imp dates, maybe a monthly Muhurta or Calendar can be created and

circulated in advance so that everyone gets ample time and reminders to do

their remedies effectively and on time.

 

I know you all are already burdened by so many other mails, but this one step

shall make wonders for many.

 

Thanking you,

 

Sunil John

Mumbai
