It has been ordained by Lord Sri Ram to have a Sannidhi constructed
for Him within the premises of Sri Varadaraja Swami temple at
Miralur, Chidambaram Taluk, Cuddalore District.
Miralur is a small village on the banks of Vellar River, a branch of
Kollidam River. It is 10 km from Chidambaram, a famous temple town
of Sri Nataraja and Sri Govindaraja Swami, en route to
Vriddhachalam. It is 6 km from Bhuvanagiri and is in between
Bhuvanagiri and Cross Road, near Sethiathoppu. Sri Raghavendraswami
was born at Bhuvanagiri and a temple is constructed there for him.
Miralur is nearer to Valayamadevi and Srimushnam. Agriculture is the
main occupation of the village people.
Miralur village is blessed with 4 temples, Sri Varadaraja Swami
Temple et al. Sri Varadaraja Swami temple is said to be more than 500 years
old.
The presiding deity is Sri Varadharaja Swami and His consorts Sri
Sri Devi and Sri Bhudevi. A separate sannidhi for Thayar Mahalakshmi
and Sri Garudan are also there. Sri Srinivasa Perumal with His
Proyoga Chakra removes the difficulties of the devotees and blesses
them with Happiness, Peace and Prosperity. One must have darshan at
the temple to enjoy the bliss and the beauty of the Deities, which
is not possible to be described through words.
The temple is managed by a family of hereditary trustee.
Samprokshanam for the temple was conducted last in September 1997
after a gap of 60 years, mainly due to the efforts of the present
trustee, Shri K.Venkatesam Pillai who took over after the demise of
his father, Sri S. Kuppuswami Pillai. Sri Venkatesam Pillai, who
hails from this village, is a retired official from Annamalai
University.
A request has been made with Sri Subbiah Sthapathi, Asthana
Sthapathi of Sri Sankara Mutt, Kanchipuram to have the idols
prepared according to Agama Shastras and he has assured to provide
the Vigrahas before 20th May 2008.
It is proposed to have the Samprokshnam during the last week of May
2008 or first week of June 2008. The exact date of Samprokshanam
would be communicated after finalising with the Vedic Scholars.
Devotees are requested to participate in the Samprokshnam and
receive the Blessings of Sri Ram.
Ambition (Long Range Plan):
i. Collect donations from the willing donors for Samprokshanam and
utilise the amount judiciously
ii. Invest the surplus funds after the Samprokshnam in some mutual
funds/fixed deposits
iii. Ensure daily pooja and celebration of yearly festivals without
any omission including Sranavanam, Janma Natchathiram of Sri Ramar
Punarvasu etc. At present Thirumanjanam is performed every Sravanam
every month.
iv.Encourage the children/students to learn
rabhandam/Thevaram/Thiruvasagam etc.
v. Educate the people about the health awareness especially the ill
effects of drinking habits and arrange for the treatment of alcholic
addicts.
vi. Involve all the people in the village to work together for
common cause and take care of the destitute.
