                - Solar Eclipse day[Translation]

 

Kumbakonam: At the Siva Temple in Thepperumanallur,

 

large numbers of devotees witnessed a miracle of a Cobra

 

doing Archana for Siva Lingam with Vilvam leaves.

 

 

 

In Thanjavoor district of Tamil Nadu, near Thirunageswaram,

 

there is a Siva Temple at Thepperumanallur.

 

 

 

Here Vedhanthanayagi [sakthi] with Viswanathaswamy [siva]

 

are the main Deities.

 

 

 

In this Temple, it has been customary to do archana

 

with Rudhraksha only.

 

 

 

Yesterday morning, just before Solar Eclipse,

 

at about 10:30 AM Sivachariar Satish, priest of the Temple,

 

noticed a Cobra lying on top of the Siva Linga.

 

 

 

The snake slowly descended from there and went towards

 

the Vilvam tree which is the Sthala Viruksham- Holy tree

 

of the temple.

 

 

 

It climbed the tree and picked a Vilvam leaf and

 

came back and entered the Sannadhi.

 

 

 

It hissed at any devotee trying to get near it.

 

It climbed onto the Siva Linga and opened it hood

 

and dropped the Vilvam Leaf.

 

 

 

This miracle was witnessed by all devotees who

 

were excited.

 

 

 

Then the Cobra went again and again to do the same

 

repeated two or three times.

 

 

 

As the news spread all over the village, hundreds of

 

villagers rushed to the Temple to have the Dharshan

 

of this event of Cobra with Siva.

 

 

[ Note: Vilvam leaf (Bilva Leaf) is holy and special

for Siva Pooja]

The Priest explained " It is doing the archana during

 

The Naga Serpent has been regularly visiting the Siva

 

Idol for the last three SOLAR ECLIPSES.

 

 

 

The priest and some locals had arranged for a

 

photographer a few months back during Sooriya Grahanam.

 

 

 

In fact, they had kept milk offering also for the Naga.

 

But the snake did not appear on the day.

 

 

 

On this particular  SOLAR ECLISE Grahanam day

 

when the priest opened the Sanctum Sanctorum he saw

 

the snake on the top of the Siva Linga idol.

 

 

 

He immediately called Mr. Thenappan the photographer

 

who lives in Thrunagesvaram a kilo meter from this village.

 

 

 

Meantime a dozen or more people including my house

 

caretaker had assembled to witness this miracle.

 

 

 

In front of their eyes the Naga went back to the

 

" Vilwa tree " ( Bilwa Tree ) plucked the leaves and came back all the way

 

to drop it on the Siva Linga.

 

 

 

All these have been photographed by Mr. Thenappan

 

(photos received directly from the photographer annexed).

 

It may be pertinent to note that many of the residents

 

of this  VILLAGE (Agaraharm) are named Nagarajan

 

or Nagalingam for a few generations .
