Saint Tirumangai Azhwar has lavishly praised Mother Lakshmi
born in the milk ocean and occupying the handsome chest of Lord Nitya Kalyana
Perumal gracing the devotees from this shrine.
His Mangalasasanam hymn is the quintessence of not only the saint’s
devotion to Lord and Mother but an exquisite poetic expression through the
Tamil language. Only gifted scholars can
render the verse in English or any language.
Vaikunda Ekadasi is very devotionally celebrated in the
temple in December-January.
Of the
celebrated 108 Divya Desas of Lord Vishnu, this is the only temple, where the
Wedding Festival is celebrated throughout the year – all the 365 days of the
year. Women facing delays in their wedding are advised to pray to Mother in the
temple
The temple is open from 6.00 a.m. to 12.00 a.m. and from
3.00 p.m. to 8.00 p.m
Lord Perumal appears majestically in His standing form
facing east. The Vimana above the
sanctum sanctorum is called Kalyana Vimanam.
Sage Markandeya had worshipped Perumal in this temple.
This is the place of prayer suggested to those affected with
evil looks (dhrushti dosha), adverse aspects of serpent planets Rahu and Kethu
and those facing delays in marriage.
Lord of the temple is praised in the Mangalasasanam hymns of
Saints Tirumangai Azhwar and Manavala Mamunigal. There is a dot on the cheek of the Lord which
is considered as a protection from the jealous look of others.
Mother made a single woman fusing together 360 virgins,
hence praised as Akhilavalli Nachiar.
The philosophy behind this is described as that Lord Vishnu alone is
Purusha the male and all others are but females. He is Nayaka.
Others are Nayakis. Mother in Her
separate shrine is worshipped as Komalavalli.
Lord Perumal in the temple appears with one foot on earth, the other on
the heads of Adisesha and his wife and having Akhilavalli Thayar on His left
lap and graces as Lord Varaha Murthy.
During Thretha Yuga, Bali the son of king Meganathan was
ruling the kingdom in a righteous way.
Demons Mali, Malyavan and Sumali and others sought the help of Bali to
fight against the devas. Bali simply
declined to help them. The demons fought alone were defeated by the Devas. They came again to Bali for help which he
obliged this time. Bali won the war but
was afflicted with Brahmmahati dosha. He
came to this place for relief and performed penance on Lord Perumal. Pleased with his penance, Perumal appeared
before Bali and granted darshan in Varaha Rupa.
Sage Kuni and his daughter performed penance on Lord
Narayana to reach Sorga-Paradise. Kuni
alone reached Sorga but not the daughter.
Maharshi Narada told the young girl that she could not reach Sorga as
she was not married. He requested other
sages to marry her. One Kalava Maharshi
married her and got 360 female children.
He performed penance on Lord Narayana begging Him to marry his
daughters. Narayana did not come. A brahmmachari – bachelor came one day there
saying that he was on a Divyadesa Yatra.
As he was very handsome as Nayarana, the sage requested him to marry his
daughters. He agreed and married one
each day. On the last day, He showed
what He was. He was but Narayana in the
form of Varaha. He fused all the
daughters into one and had them on His left lap. As Perumal had them together in one form on
His Left Lap (left in Tamil is Idam) the place came to be known as
Tiruvidavendhai which later changed as Tiruvidandhai.
