गुरुपुष्य-योगः

  • →17:52

When Pushya nakshatra falls on a Thursday, it is a special yōgaḥ. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

नमिनन्दियडिगळ् नायऩ्मार् (२७) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Puṣyaḥ nakshatra of Vr̥ṣabhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Nami Nandi Adigal, a devout Brahmana from Emaperur in the Chola kingdom, dedicated his life to worshipping Lord Shiva in Tiruvarur. One day, driven by a desire to light numerous lamps in the temple as extolled in the Shiva Agamas, he sought ghee from a nearby house. However, the Jaina inhabitant mockingly suggested using water instead. Distressed, Nandi Adigal prayed to Lord Shiva and was divinely instructed to use water from a nearby tank for lighting the lamps. Miraculously, the lamps burned brightly with water, astonishing the Jainas and leading to a decline in Jainism as people turned to Shaivism.

Recognising his devotion, the Chola king appointed Nandi Adigal as the head of the temple. He zealously conducted the Panguni Uttaram festival at Tirumanali, drawing worshippers of all castes. One night, feeling unpurified by the contact with people of various castes, he hesitated to enter his home. As he waited for his wife to bring him water to bathe, he fell asleep and dreamt of Lord Shiva, who revealed that all born in Tiruvarur were His ganas! Awakening, Nandi Adigal narrated this story to his wife, and performed his worship. In the morning, he went back to Tiruvarur and saw that the people of Tiruvarur bore the form of Lord Shiva! As he prostrated to them, they all resumed their original forms — thus a divine Lila being enacted by the Lord.

Settling in Tiruvarur, Nandi Adigal devoted himself to serving the Lord and His devotees, earning praise as ‘Anipon’ (pure gold) from the Nayanmar Appar. He ultimately attained the sublime abode of Lord Shiva, exemplifying pure devotion and service.

श्रीनिवासमङ्गापुरे साक्षात्कार-वैभवोत्सवः

Observed on Śukla-Ṣaṣṭhī tithi of Jyaiṣṭhaḥ (lunar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

The temple of Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy, which has been a center of devotion from ancient times, once fell into disrepair. It was later renovated by Chinna Tirumalacharya, the grandson of Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya, as evidenced by an inscription dated March 22nd, 1510 CE at the temple’s entrance. Despite regaining its glory for several years, the temple again faced neglect in the 20th century.

In 1940, an Archaka named Sri Sundara Raja Swamy from Kanchi, inspired by a dream in which Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy appeared, took it upon himself to clean the temple premises and resume regular pujas. He conveyed his dream to the villagers, narrating how Lord Venkateswara Swamy manifested in the dream and instructed him to restore the temple’s former splendor (Past Vaibhavam) by conducting Deepa Naivedya Aaradhana, after which the Lord vanished from the dream. On July 11, 1940, which was Ashada Shukla Paksha Shashti, Sundara Raja Swamy conducted a special puja, marking the day the deity revealed his divine form to devotees. This event led the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams to initiate the annual “Sakshatkara Vaibhavotsavams.”

“Sakshatkaram” refers to the deity’s holy appearance or Darshan. The Sakshatkara Vaibhavotsavam is a three-day festival that includes the day of the deity’s appearance (Ashada Suddha Shasti) and the days immediately before and after. The first day of the celebration includes a procession of the deity, Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy, along with His consorts, on the Pedda Shesha Vahanam, from the temple to the Kalyana Mandapa, followed by Abhishekam and Unjal Seva in the evening. The second day features Hanumantha Vahana Seva, and the third day concludes with the Garuda Vahana Seva at night. These celebrations provide devotees the opportunity to witness the deity and receive blessings.
