[Guest]

Hi Nataraj,
Very commendable effort. Please keep up the good work. <!--emo&:ind--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/india.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='india.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Are you using some book or some site for reference? The reason I ask is that I had posted in
in temple thread this question:

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Recently purchased a book '<b>Temples of South India</b>,' written by Ambujam Anantharaman. This book highlights the prominent temples in in South (covers Karnataka, AP, TN, Kerala) and she has some excellent write-ups covering the legends, history along with spiritual/devotional aspects.

The author used to write for ChennaiOnline, some of her work can still be found in their archives section.

I only wish were there was a similar book on rest of the states of India. Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Viren,
I use multiple books for reference.But mostly the actual sthalapuranam from the temple itself.Moreover as it's a podcast ,I covered all the temples me or my family has visited so far,so that it's easy for me to describe while I talk.

The presiding deity Agneeswarar is the embodiment of Sukran. Sukrachariar was the Guru of asuras. He had got the blessings from Lord Siva after severe penances.

Sukracharyar has the prowess to bring the dead to living by virtue of his knowledge of Amirtha Sanjeevini Mantra. Using this mantra, in the asura war against the devas, he revived the slain asuras. This helped the asura army swell. The devas prayed to Lord Siva for help, who swallowed up Sukracharya in a fit of rage. After residing in Lord SIva's stomach in a siddha state, he emerged from Lord Siva's stomach.

Sukra endows those who pray to him with wealth, pleasure, wife, prosperity, vehicles. He is the next most beneficial planet after Guru. If in a person's horoscope, Sukra is well placed, then the person will enjoy pleasure, beautiful wife, wealth, house, vehicle, good food, fame, love, affection, marraige, siblings, governmental help, chance to govern the country/state and hold influential status.

This week's Podcast is about "Arulmigu Thirukalleeswarar Alayam – Thirukandalam (Thirukallil)".
This Shivasthalam is located at about 40 km from Chennai and 10 km from Periyapalayam. A calm village unpolluted from the mad crowd of the city. We cannot find even a single shop around the temple and so come prepared with all your pooja and food requirements. The temple tank in front of the temple is called Nandhi Thirtha created by Nandiswara is amazingly clean and very familiar for holy dip.

Main Deity : Shiva - Thirukalleeswarar, Sivanandeswarar
Goddess : Anandavalli
Holy tree : Kalli
Pathigam : Thirugnanasambandar, 18th of the 32 Tevara Stalams in the Tondai region
Theertham : Nandhi Thirtha
Festivals : Vinayaka Chathurthi, Navarathri, Skanda Sashti, Karthigai Deepam and Full moon day in the month of Ayppasi (Annabhishegam).


Shiva was in the midst of Kalli trees and so the name of the place is called Thirukallil and the Shiva is called Thirukalleeswarar. Rishi Bhrigu said to have worshipped Shiva here with 1000 Kalli flowers and Shiva appeared to him in the form of Sakthi Dhakshinamurthy, i.e., Dhakshinamurthy with Goddess Sakthi which is unique to this place.
