Subject: Perumbakkam (Villupuram) Oru Perum Bakkiyam


Dear Sri Vaishnavaites,
                        AdiYaen wish to bring to your attention to Tamil Daily 
"Dinamani " dated 23rd November 2003 (Supplement: Velli Mani), the article 
about "Sri Venkatavaradharaja Perumal Thirukkoil" at Perumbakkam( near 
Villupuram) South Arcot Dt.,Tamilnadu,India.
                        About 400 years back, Sri Varadharaja Perumal , gave a 
"Darshan" to a devotee in his dream and has said that He was hidden in a land 
called "Thoramaniyam" and has asked the devotee to take Him out along with the 
Devi & construct a Temple with Nithya Aradhanaas. Then the God disappeared from 
his dream.
                        The devotee consulted the local people and searched for 
the Idol.He found the "Swami Vigraham"with His two Devis,viz., Sri Devi and Sri 
Bhoomi Devi. Later with the cooperation of the local people, he constructed a 
Temple as ordered by the God, and the project was completed in the year 
1605.This incident was scripted in the Temple in Perumbakkam.
                        The Temple was constructed according to the "Ahama 
Vidhi"with High quality of stones. There were "Artha Mandapam", ".Maha 
mandapam""Sabha Mandapam", Sannadhis for Sri Perundevi Thayaar, Sri Andal, Sri 
Nammazhavar, Sri Ramanujar,Sri Nigamantha Maha Desikan & Sri Adhiven 
Sadagopan.Every year, during Purattasi month, 10 days festival were being held. 
Besides this, Panguni Uthiram and other maha utsavams were also being 
conducted.Later, the Kalyana Anjaneya Swamy has become more popular in this 
temple. Many devotees worshipped Him and got the benefits in getting their 
wishes fulfilled.
                       Four peetathipathis (Jeers) of Sri Ahobila Mutt had 
offered their Mangala Sasanams to this Temple. Amongst them, 42nd Pontiff "Sri 
Injimedu Jeeyar"-the very learned Acharya, who founded the Divine Magazine-"Sri 
Nrisimhapriya", has stayed in this Village and gave His Managala sasanam to Sri 
Venkatavaradha Perumal.  He remarked this village, "Perumbakkam" as "DAKSHINA 
AHOBILAM' and has praised it as "PERUMBAKKAM ORU PERUM BAKKIYAM'.

THE PRESENT SITUATION: Since it is more than 400 years, and during the past 
sixty years the Temple is damaged due to insufficient care. 
Now, the devotees of this village have decided to renovate the temple and the 
"Samprokshanam" (Kumbabishekam) will be held shortly as the work is progressing 
in a rapid speed and is expected to be completed in another two months.

AN APPEAL: TO ALL THE BHAKTHAAS ARE REQUESTED TO JOIN IN THE AUSPICIOUS 
OCCASION AND SEND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO :
                         SRI K.S.VARADHA DESIKAN M.A.,
                         VICE PRESIDENT :THIRUPPANI COMMITTEE

            PERUMBAKKAM; VILLUPURAM SOUTH ARCOT DT.,TAMILNADU, INDIA
