Dear Devotees: Have you heard about the place aappoor near Singaperumalkoil. This place is situated west of Singaperumalkoil at the 6th kilometer on S.P.Koil - Sriperumpudur Road. The temple is situated on a hill.The temple can be reached by climbing 500 steps. There Lord Srinivasa is blessing us. The specialty of this place is as it is said that thayar is with him perumal is dressed with saree He is with abhayahastham unlike Tirupathi Except temple and monkeys around it there is nothing. Battachariar goes daily from Singaperumalkoil both in the morning and evening and returns after daily tirumanjanam and aradhanam. Battachariar one Mr.Baskar taking special interest has built steps with the help of visiting devotees. A mandapam has also been built in front recently. He has made silver kavachams also for perumal. Only moolavar is there. It is said that Utsavar is in the village near the hill. Further there is big idol of paravasudevan in the sitting posture with chank and chakra and one leg is folded posture. But it is in the midst of the forest beneath this hill on the other side of the hill. The steps are on the Western side and the paravasudevan is on the eastern side. It is difficult to go there. Further there is a Lakshmipadam in a separate place on the one side of hill. It is said that this hill is full of herbals and called aushada malai.It is believed that siddas and rishis were doing penance on this hill. The archa moorthi is very beautiful and graceful.If we go there we can have a silent and calm chanting of mantras without any disturbance and the place will give peace of mind. The interested person may contact Mr.Baskar Archakar,Singaperumalkoil After my visit before some three years I long for next trip everytime and I used to go often. Devotees in and around chennai who have not visited this temple, they are really missing a good temple. Due to this uphill task many of our acharyas have not gone there, to the best of my knowledge. If anybody knows more about this temple they may share with us.I will attach Perumal photo in my next letter It is also said that there were villages and houses around this hill once upon a time.
