Agastya Muni & Kaveri River
#story
This is a story which describes how River Kaveri was brought on earth by Agastya muni. There was a king named Kavera lived in the Brahmagiri hills who prayed to Brahma for a child. He was blessed with a daughter whom he named Kaveri.

Agastya muni married her. A demon, named Shoorapadma, wanted to trouble people so he prevented rain from reaching South India. As a result famine occurred in South India.
Agastya Muni who came that way was very sad seeing this. He started to pray Mahadeva for a solution.

Shiva gave him small amount of Ganga water in his Kamandalu (small pot) and said wherever you spill this water the river will flow from there. Agastya Muni travelled lot of places to find a suitable place to pour water. Feeling tired he kept his Kamandalu and took rest.

At that time Ganesha took a form of crow and perched on the Kamadalu and made a hole that water began to flow as river Kaveri. This place is now called as Talakaveri (Karnataka), located in the Brahmagiri hill.

Tala Kaveri has temple for Agastheeswara, which denotes the story between Kaveri and Agasthya muni. Kaveri is a part of Ganga, thus, also called Dakshina Ganga.

Thrikkangode Sree Randu Moorthy Temple
Ottappalam, Kerala. 🚩
#keralatemples

This is very unique temple as Shiva and Vishnu both are in the “linga” form in the same Garbhagriham. The Srikovil is in a circular pattern. Temple's Prathishta was done by Parasurama.

Mahadeva and Maha Vishnu in the same Srikovil is very rare Prathishta, but poojas are done separately Dhara is done to Maha Vishnu here. People suffering from “KAIVISHAM” and mental illness are fully cured on drinking a medicinal herb supplied by a nearby family here.

The root of the banyan tree around the Ayyappa Sannidhanam is said to have great powers for skin ailments.

Very ancient temple but was covered with forest for many years.
Later two persons Chakki and Chaathan, while cutting trees their axe hit on the nearby
@SriramKannan77

Vigrahams and it suddenly started bleeding. Later Devaprashnam was held and thus found out that these were murthy's of Shiva and Vishnu which was worshipped long back. And thus temple is constructed here.

NAMAKKAL ANJANEYAR

Namakkal Anjaneyar Temple is located in Namakkal Dt. Anjaneyar is about 18ft tall seen with folding hands praying to Narasimha Murthy.

Story says that, Once when Anjaneyar was carrying Saligrama from Mandakini river, was surprised to see Mahalakshmi here. Devi was praying for Bhaghavat darshan in the form of Narasimha. As Saligrama must not be kept on the ground Anjaneya requested Devi

To hold it till he returns. Hanuman didn't return on correct time & Devi placed the saligrama on the ground, which grew to a hill & Mahavishnu gave darshan as Narasimha here. Thus Anjaneyar also stayed here worshipping Narasimhar. Vada Mala is very famous here.

@LostTemple7

Shankha, Chakra, Gada and Padma.
The form which was revealed to Devaki and Vasudeva. Vigraham is made out of a special stone called Patala Anjana.

Sthala Puranam says that Vigraham was made by Mahavishnu himself and handed over to Brahma Deva, who transferred it to King Sutapas

and his wife.
After many generations the Vigraham was worshipped by Vasudeva & Devaki and later prathista done at Dwaraka by Krishna. When Dwaraka was flooded the Vigraham was given to Udhava and Krishna instructed Guru (Brihaspati) & Vayu to do prathista in a suitable

suitable place to worship during Kali yuga.

Parashurama lead them here which was a beautiful pond of Paramashiva & Parvati Devi. Shiva gave permission for Guru & Vayu to built a temple here, thus the name Guruvayur (Guru+ Vayu).

Paramashiva & Parvati Devi is worshipped at Mammiyur nearby and the worship at Guruvayur is not complete if one does not visit Mammiyur Mahadevan. Ekadasi is very important here.

Hare Krishna

When You feel upset, Light a Diya &
Tell him Everything

Ugra Narasimhar at Padmanabhaswamy Temple is so powerful & ferocious that many had heard loud roar in night. To keep him calm Sundara Kandam parayanam is done there.

Let the mind breathe, the heart rest, so the spirit can express the paths it already knows, letting the great Mothers align the worlds with their wisdom.

ॐ उग्रं वीरं महाविष्णुं ज्वलन्तं सर्वतोमुखम् ।
नृसिंहं भीषणं भद्रं मृत्युमृत्युं नमाम्यहम् ॥

हे क्रुद्ध एवं शूर-वीर महाविष्णु, आपकी ज्वाला एवं ताप चारों दिशाओं में फैली हुई है।
हे नरसिंहदेव प्रभु, आपका चेहरा सर्वव्यापी है, तुम मृत्यु के भी यम हो और मैं आपके समक्ष आत्मसमर्पण करता हूँ।
