HE ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF SRI KAGANNAI ESWARAR HOLY TEMPLE
One
day when i was in deep-contemplation, i perceived with infinite joy a
divine-child of extraordinary beauty and radiance gazing at me while lying on
my lap! Even as i was looking at it, the sheer brilliant light that emanated
from the child, hindered my sight and immediately i prayed to my Guru and
sought his help, where upon with his guidance i could once again see the child
and was surprised to see embossed on the chest a golden-hued Linga that
radiated effervescent - Light and simultaneously i perceived all the Siddhars
surrounding me and the child and saying that they were very happy to note that
i was caught in the Love and embrace of
Lord Siva. Even now whenever i recollect the Maha Siddhar’s blessing’s
the hairs on my entire body stands on end with utmost feeling of joy and
gratitude!
On the very next day, a dear
devotee of mine Rathivelu based of Singapore called me and told of the
wonderful dream he had in which he saw Lord Siva in the form of Dakshinamoorthy
towering as tall as the Brahma rishi - hill and claimed that he had out
of Grace selected that very hill to manifest in combination of Sri Kagapusundar
and Annai as Sri Kagannai eshwarar and would be known as ‘Kagannaisaram’
and would thus establish ‘Jnanam’(wisdom), ’Arul’(Grace) and ‘Dharmam’(“universal
order of Righteousness”) and make it flourish in this world. Lord Siva had thus
shown his desire to reside in the temple to be built and consecrated on the
blessed hill.
As per the Divine instruction,
the Lord Sri Kagannai Eswarar’s Temple took form on the
Brahmarishi-hill. Even as the Holy Temple was being constructed by utilizing
black granite-stones and the finishing holy-designs and touches were being
completed, once again the Siddhar Himself came in the form of Lord Siva in the
month of ‘Masi’ (February) ‘Amavasai’(new-moon day) and instructed that the
temple should be consecrated within 60 days and as per the Lord’s wishes a
particular day in the month of june has been selected for the Holy Consecration
(‘Kumbabishekam’).
The
‘Selva Maha Vetri Ganapathi’ Holy-Temple that existed previously had been
pacified (‘Shanti’) by performing ‘palalayam’ and in addition Lord Siva and
Siddhar Holy-Temple constructed presently. Every day at dawn, noon and at
dusk,’Yaagas’ (Holy Sacrifical-Fire) are performed for the 210 Siddhars and
‘Annadhanam’(free food) is served to all the worshippers,the elderly and the
poor who assemble there.
The
Lord Sri Kagannai Eswarar is the father of Lord Shani Bhagavan
(Saturn) and thus would absolve the worshipper’s sins caused by Lord Shani’s
influence (‘Shani-dosham’). The sins and difficulties caused by the bad
influence of all the stars and all
previous life karmas and curses would be absolved for ones who worship here.
All the ‘Maya’, ’Mantra’, ’Tantra’, ’Yantra’ and ‘Enthira’ powers are surpassed
by the power of the Brahmarishi-hill and the fortunate few who are able to
personally visit the Hill and attain tremendous gains do not understand the
significance and only myself and the my Father Bhagavan Sri Kagapusundar alone
realize the Exalted-Truth!
