Thiru Kazharsinga
Nayanar was the righteous ruler of Pallava Kingdom. During his regime, people were lived a happy
and prosperous life. Thus, he earned lot
of fame and won over his enemies. He was
a zealous devotee of Lord Shiva; visited many sacred temples of Lord along with
his wife.
Once, King
Kazharsingar along with his Queen made a visit to the temple of Lord Tyagaraja
at Thiruvarur with their escorts. The
King was transcended to the world of ecstasy after visualizing the mesmerizing
beauty of Lord. In the meantime, Queen
was gracefully moving through the circumambulatory paths observing the
enthralling beauty of the environment.
At one moment, her eyes get caught of a beautiful hall and its
dais. At the center of the hall there was
heaps of alluring fresh flowers of various fragrances which was kept for making
garlands out of it for the worship of Lord.
Instantly, a gorgeous flower fallen down from the dais which was picked
by the Queen and smelt it.
Thiru
Cheruthunai Nayanar, one of the passionate devotees of Lord Shiva was happened
to observe the Queen’s movement. Thiru
Cheruthunaiyar was totally annoyed by her act; he had strict disciplined
manners in the worship of Lord and purity of materials used for the worship of
Supreme Lord. It was most frustrating
moment for him, he rushed off his feet and cut down her nose for the sin she
had committed. The queen was traumatized
at the behavior of Thiru Cheruthunaiyar and withered in pain. Soon, King Kazharsingar joined at the spot,
he was utterly shocked to see his dearest wife shivering and screaming out of pain. Thiru Cheruthinaiyar explained the state of
affairs to the King Kazharsingar. The
King scrutinized the situation and declared that the punishment for polluting
the flower which was kept for offering to Lord was the severe sin committed and
the verdict followed to chop her hands down for picking the flower kept for the
worship. At once, there were flowers trickled from the
sky appreciating the uprightness of King Kazharsingar. King Kazharsinga Nayanar ruled his Kingdom wisely
for several years and finally attained the Abode of Lord Shiva.
In the Tamil
month Vaikasi – Barani is widely celebrated as Guru Puja of Thiru Kazharsinga Nayanar, the day he
attained the Abode of Lord Shiva.
