DEvarAjan , the son of SrI KrishNan Ayyangar ; SrI Sridhar attended this upanayanam at Thiruneermalai ( ThOyAchalam) and has produced a 45 minute long video of Thirumanjanam and KalyANa Uthsavam for the EmperumAn of this dhivya dEsam during this occasion .adiyEn will release that divine content as a separate CD ROM with the help of SrI Sridhar later. It is SrI Sridhar's most welcome contribution to ThiruvahIndhrapuram RathnAngi Kaimkaryam fund raising effort . Location of Thiruneermalai ******************************* adiyEn has had the bhAgyam of sevai of the EmperumAn of Thiruneermalai a few times. This dhivya dEsam is located at a distance of three and half miles from Pallavaram station on the Chennai-Tambaram rail route . The peace and tranquility that descends on one at the end of the sevai of the Four EmperumAns of the dhivya dEsam is some thing to be experienced . When one sits outside the sannidhis on the steps of the hill temple and experiences the wind gently touching one's face , one can connect it to the presence of Saantha Narasimhan inside one of the three sannidhis on top of the hill .The experience is similar to sitting on the steps leading to Melkote Yoga Narasimhan's temple on the hill . Thiruneer malai: MangaLAsAsanam by two AzhwArs *************************************************************** This EmperumAn has recieved MangaLAsAsanam (20 Paasurams) from Thirumangai AzhwAr and BhUthatthAzhwAr ; When Thirumangai AzhwAr visited Thiruneermalai , there were torrential rains and swirling floods that formed a deep and dangerous moat around the hill , on which the temple is located ; it was difficult even for the sturdy Thirumangai AzhwAr to swim across . The thirst of Thirumangai to have the darsana soubhAgyam of the EmperumAn of this dhivya dEsam was so intense that he did not want to leave the dhivya dEsam without performing MangaLAsAsanam of the Lord and ThAyAr. Thirumangai simply waited for six months at a village near by known today as Thirumangai AlwArpuram . Once the floods subsided , the AzhwAr visited the EmperumAn NeervaNNan) at the foot the thill and the three sannidhis ( IrundhAn , KidanthAn and NadanthAn ) on top of the hill ( Thiruneer Malai). MangaLAsAsana Paasurams ********************************** Ninteen of the twenty Paasurams on this dhivya dEsams are from Thirumangai and the remaining one is from BhUthatthAzhwAr ( IraNDAm ThiruvandhAthi: 47th Paasuram). Ten out of the 19 paasurams of Thirumangai are housed in Periya Thirumozhi( PTM): 2.4 decad that begins with "AnRAyar KulakkodiyOdaNi maamalr Mangai--) The other Nine Pasurams are found among Thiruidaventhai dhivya dEsa Paasurams (Periya Thirumozhi 2.7.7), ThirnaRayUr paasurams ( PTM :6.8.4 , 7.1.7) , ThirukkaNNapuram Paasurams ( PTM: 8.2.3) , ThirunAhai Paasurams ( PTM: 9.2.8) , PTM: 10.1.1, Thirunedum ThANDakam: 18th Paasuram , SiRiya and Periya Thirumadals. The Four Sannidhis *********************** 1. Temple at the Foothill : PerumAL faces East in standing posture and has the names of Neer vaNNan , Neelamughil vaNNan . ThAyAr's name is ANimAmalar Mangai. Saanidhis at the top of the Hill & Sacred PushkaraNIs ************************************************************** 2. IrundhAn or the Seated One ( Moolavar): Saantha Narasimhan in a seated posture facing the East . 3. KidanthAn (Moolavar): Lord RanganAtha in a reclining position known as MaaNikka Sayanam . He faces South to bless ANDAL and VibhishaNan. 4. NadanthAn ( Moolavar): Thrivikraman in a standing posture looks in the Eastern direction . There are five sacred PushkaraNis ( Thiruneer) at this dhivya dEsam : MaNikarNigaa , Ksheera , KaaruNya , Siddha and SwarNa PushkaraNIs. With the sacred waters ( Thiru Neer) and the hill (Malai) , the dhivya dEsam got the name of Thiruneer Malai. Legend has it that Sage VaalmIki worshipped at this temple . Being a top Raama BhakthA , the sage had the darsanam of Lord RanganAtha as Raamachandra , RanganAyaki ThAyAr as SitA PirAtti , AadhisEshan ( the bed of Lord RanganAtha ) as LakshmaNan , PerumAL's Chakram and Sanghu as BharathA and SathrugnA and Garudan as HanumAn at the hill top temple . adiyEn will comment on the 20 Paasurams relating to this dhivya dEsam in the next posting.
