HISTORY

1200 years old ancient temple has the history on its own. The most renowned and extensively accepted myth goes to say that a king named “Bahiradha” who reigned the place “Salamkondapuram” which was situated in the country “Illanchi”, once out of ego, he (King) dis-respected the great Saint Naradha Maharishi who visited him. Out of anger, he (Naradha Maharishi) left to the forest.
Meanwhile the “Asura” named “Koran” who was undergoing “Dhicvijayam” met Saint Naradha” (Naradha Maharishi) in the forest, who advised him to defeat Bahiradha’s ego, to fulfill his “Dhicvijayam”. Asura duly fought with the king Bahiradha and defeated him. When he lost everything in the war, out of frustration he went to forest. There, one fine day he met Saint Naradha in the forest. Filled with emotions of happiness, grief, fear, wonder, devotion (bhakthi), and self-surrender, the king repented for his mistakes and requested him for the mercy and blessings.
Saint Naradha was happy with the actions of king and enlightened the king on the path of attaining glory, by directing him to meet the “Saint Dhurvasaka”. As a consequence of an event, King met Saint Dhurvasaka and narrated the incidents and solicited his guidance. On the basis of his request, the Saint Dhurvasaka instructed him to follow “Virutham” on fridays, and to worship Lord Muruga who is dwelling under “Padhiri (one of the variety) Mango Tree” with Goddess Valli and Deivannai.
On worshipping, as per the instruction given by “Saint Dhurvasaka” he attained the glory.The king duly constructed the temple at Vallakottai, which was once known by the name “Kodai Nagar”. The temple tank (Thirukulam) that is facing the temple contains the fresh & cool water, which is so called by the name of “Vajra Theertham” (Holy water) related to the widely accepted myth, which says that, Indhra (Leader of Devas) who created the temple tank with the help of his “Vajrayudham”. Devotees believe that bathing in the temple tank and worshipping Lord Muruga by chanting Six-letter mantra will make them to get divine blessings.

PURUSHA SUKTAM

Purusha Suktam

Translated by P. R. Ramachander

IntroductionAmong the great Gods of Vedas is Purusha, which in simple translation means the “male”. But the word actually indicates Lord Vishnu, who is the God among the great trinity in charge of the care of the created beings. He is supposed to live in the ocean of milk and his consort is Lakshmi the goddess of wealth and prosperity.Possibly along with Rudra it is one of the greatest stotras originating from the Vedas. While the devotees of Rudra are afraid of his anger and request Him again and again the devotees of Purusha keep praising him, describing his various facets and request boons from him.Though the original Purusha suktha manthra occurs in Rig Veda , it also occurs in Vajaneya Samhitha of Shukla Yajur Veda, Taiteeriya Samhitha of Krishna Yajurveda and also with slight differences in Sama Veda as well as Atharva Veda.Many great sages have given details of how this great Suthra should be used in Fire Sacrifices and many sages including the great Sayanacharya have written commentaries on Purusha Suktham.Purusha in this Suktham is described as a gigantic personality who is spread everywhere.Brhama the creator is supposed to have his huge body as a sacrifice so that he can creae the world.

For the good deeds that are medicine,
For the sadness of the past and future,
Request we for the growth of fire sacrifices,
Request that only good should occur,
To the one who presides over such sacrifices,
Request we for the mercy of gods to man,
Request we for good to the community of men,
Request we that the herbs and plants,
Should grow taller towards the skies.
Request we for good for all two legged beings,
Request we for good to all four legged beings,
Request we for peace, peace and peace.

DURGA SUKTAM

Durga Suktam;

(From Maha Narayana Upanishad)Translated by P. R. Ramachander

[This is a prayer to the fire God Agni occurring in the Maha Narayana Upanishad. Durga is used here as a word for Difficult problems in almost all the stanzas. The salutation to Durga is given only in the second stanza. (But many people consider this as prayer to goddess Durga for removing all obstacles and evils.)

. 1 Jatavedase sunavama soma marathee yatho nidhahadhi veda,

Sa na parshadathi durgani viswa naaveva sindhum durithathyagni

Our oblations of Soma to the fire god,May he, the all knowing one destroy all those who do not like us,May that divine fire lead us out of all perils,Like a captain takes his boat across the sea,And also save us from all wrongs.

2 .Thaam agni varnaam thapasa jwalanthim vairochanim karma phaleshu jushtam,

Durgam devim saranamaham prapadhye, sutharasi tharase nama.

I take refuge in the divine mother Durga*,Who shines like a fire due to her penances,Who resides in actions and their fruits and makes them effective,And I salute her who helps us cross our difficulties.* It could be translated as Mother of difficulties also

3. Agne thwam paaraya navyo asmaan swasthibhirathi durgani viswa,

Pushscha prithwi bahula na urvee bhava thokaaya thanayaya shamyoh.

Oh God of fire, you are worthy of praise,For by novel methods you help us cross,The difficulties and make us happy,May our land in this earth become extensive,May the land for growing crops become large,And be pleased to join our children and,Their children with joy and happiness.

4. Vishvaani no durghaa jathaveda sindhunaa nava durithathi parshi,

Agne athrivan manasaa grina no asmakam bodhayithwa thanoo naam.

Oh Jatha Vedas who is the destroyer of all sins,Make us cross all our troubles like a boat,Which takes us to the other shore without problems,Oh Fire, protect us like the sage Athri, who would take care of us,Mindful of our safety and our happiness.

5. Prithana jitham saha mana mugram agnim huvema paramath sadhasthath,

Sa na parshadathi durgani viswa kshamaddhevo athi durithatyagni.

We invoke the fierce Fire God who is the leader of us all.And who is the killer of all our enemies from the highest place,To take us across all difficulties and all that is perishable and protect us.

6. Prathnoshika meedyo adhvareshu sanacha hota navyascha sadhsi,

Swacha agne piprayaswa asmabhyam cha soubhahya maya jaswa.

Oh Fire God, you are praised during sacrifices,And always increase our happiness, and exist as sacrifices,Which are olden and those which are new,Please make us, who are only yourself, happy,And grant us good fortune from all our sides.

7. Gobhir jushta mayujo nishithktham thavendra vishnor anusancharema,

Naa kasya prushtam abhisamvasaano vaishnavim loka iha madhayantham.

Oh Lord, you are not connected with sin and sorrow,Permit us to always serve you who pervades all wealth,May the Gods who live in the highest region make me,Who adores Vishnu, delighted and happy and grant my wishes

sudarshan ashtakam

Sudarshana Ashtakam

By Vedanta Desika--Translated By P. R. Ramachander
[Sudarshana is the holy wheel which Lord Vishnu uses as his chief weapon. There isa story that the daughter of Viswa Karma, who was the architect of theGod's, was married to the sun God and she left him because of hisimmense heat. It seems Viswa Karma put Sun God in a cage and churnedhim to reduce his heat. The heat was reduced and Sudarshana Chakra,Trishoola and Shakthi, respectively the weapons of Lord Vishnu, Shivaand Subrhamnya wereborn out of the churning.

Sudarshana Chakra is giventhe status of God by the followers of Ramanujacharya. He being a primedevotee is called the Chakrathazhwar. (Sage of the wheel) andworshipped by Vaishnavas. Venkata Natha or Vedantha Desika is one ofthe greatest savants that Visishitadvaitha produced after Ramanuja. Helived about 140 years after Saint Ramanuja and has written severalbooks. The prayers he wrote are immensely popular among the devotees ofVishnu. )
