The
legend has that Lord Brahma was put behind the bars by Lord Subramanya for not
pronouncing the ideal meaning for Pranava Mantra. Shortly, Lord Subramanya was afflicted with
the sin of capturing Lord Brahma, one of the Trinities and superior amongst the
deities. Due to the sin committed Lord
Subramanya wandered aimlessly without communicating with utter guilt or not performing
his responsibilities. He approached Lord
Vishnu and appealed for a way out of the load of distress. Lord Vishnu advised Lord Subramanya to
worship Lord Shiva who would be capable to relieve him from the disillusion. Lord Subramanya sincerely followed the
instructions of Lord Vishnu, he arrived in Chengannur near Thiruppanthan
consecrated a Linga and proceeded the worship.
Unfortunately, Lord Subramanya was found no relief for his grief and
continued to walk away depressingly. Finally,
he arrived on this sacred land on the river banks of Arasillaru and found Lord
Sivanandeswarar in a grove of Vanni.
Immediately, Lord Subramanya regained his composure and underwent strict
austerities. Lord Shiva was pleased at
the devotion of Lord Subramanya and blessed him with a compassionate
glance. Instantly, Lord Subramanya
relieved from the sins and attained eternal wisdom.
Worship
of Lord Sivanandeswarar with Goddess Sri Mangalambika provides abundance of pieties
includes mental as well as physical well being.
This
temple remains open from 6.00 AM to 11.00 PM in the morning and 4.30 PM to 7.30
PM in the evenings.
Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
