Subject: SHRIMAN NARAYANA - THIRUNANGUR DIVYADESANGAL The
Divyadesam, which ShrimanNArayana, Himself helped to build.
Do you know Shriman NArayana, Himself
helped to build one Divyadesam? Yes, it is Semponsai Kovil of Thirunangur.
How?
After His fight with Ravana, Shri Rama was
returning to Ayodhya. Enroute, He stayed in the Ashram of Druda Nethra
Munivar. The Munivar suggested Shri Rama, to donate a golden cow to a poor
brahmin, so that
the brummahasthi dosham surrounded by Him
on account of killing Ravana would be warded off. Shri Rama, accordingly made a
big golden cow and did tapasya for four days sitting inside the cow. On the
fifth day He donated the cow to a poor brahmin. Thus he got himself relieved off
the brummahasthi Dosham. The poor brahmin sold the golden cow and used the
sale proceeds to build a temple , which is none other than Semponsai Kovil
Divyadesam named aptly. Of the 108 Divyadesams, it is the only Divyadesam,
Shriman Narayana Himself helped to build. Here Shriman Narayana is called as
Sempon Arangar, Perarulalan and Herambar. In Paramapadam, Shriman Narayana is
called Arulalan. Here since he is admist of us, he is aptly called Perarulalan.
Here he is with Bhoomadevi and Allimamalar Nachiyar.
Once there lived a rich brahmin by name
Kashyapan in Kancheepuram. He became poor after loosing his wealth. He came to
Thirunangur and worshipped Perarulalan. He with devotion chanted the divine
manthram "OHM NAMO NARAYANANAYA" 32000 times in three days. Perumal felt
happy and granted him boons
and thus Kashyapan became rich again. Hence, there is a belief, that poor people
by worshipping Perarulalan can overcome their difficulties and get good
profession and thereby enough wealth.
Here, Brammothsavam is celebrated on Ipasi
Swathi Nakshathram day, which happens to be Perumals Thiru Nakshathram. Perumal
also participates in the 11 garudaseva, conducted in Thirunangur, on the day
following Thai Amavasya day.
Semponsai Kovil Divyadesam is situated in
Thirunangur, which is about 8 Kilometers from Seerkazi of Nagapattinam of
TamilNadu.
