Sri Narasimha Darshanam 5-Sevilimedu

SrI
Srimathe ramanujaya namaha
Appeal for renovation of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha perumal temple,Sevilimedu,Kanchipuram

Dear bhagavathas,

We all aware that there are 106 Perumal temples in India and Present day Nepal that has been considered as Divya desam since the Azhvar saints sang in praise of the Lord in these temples.Apart from these temples there are numerous vaishnava temples mostly in South India that are visited by great srivaishnava acharyas like Sri Ramanuja, Sri Vedanta Desika and Sri Manavala Maamuni etc..

There are plenty of vishnu and siva temples in Kanchipuram which every one is aware of. The Kanchi varadarajar temple is well known to us and Pallava kings have taken great care of these temples and these temples had glorious time during their kingdom.However during the mugal invasion there was a great threat to these siva/vishnu temples and our acharyas have taken great pains to preserve the deities and the temple. At Srirangam during the Malikkafur's invasion Sri Pillai lokacharya has taken the idols of Sri Ranganatha to Thirumalai and for many years the temple at Srirangam was locked.Similarly during the Mugal invasion the Kanchi Varadarajar was taken to a less known temple at Sevilimedu village in the banks of Palar. There was a beautiful Sri Lakshmi Narasimha temple at this village and Sri Varada was residing here for one year and HIS utsavams were performed here.The idols were taken to this temple from original varadaraja temple thru a tunnel which can be even seen today. In order to remind of this incident  even today Sri Varada visits this temple during Chitra Pournami day.

Another interesting note is that the famous well from which Sri Ramanuja used to offer water to Sri Varada is situated near to this temple. The Well is called SalaikiNaru meaning the Well near the road.

The deities here are so beautiful and the Sri Lakshmi Narasimha is 7 ft tall salagrama and Sri Soundarya valli Thayar is 5 ft tall. Utsava moorthy is called as Sri Soundarya varadan.There are also vigrahas of Sri Hanuman, Sri Andal and Sri Kannan.
What ever you read is the History.What happens today..

The Rajagopuram is totally damaged and even you have to use alternate entrance to visit the temple. Further no sanctum santorum for Hanuman and Andal. The madappalli (kitchen) is house for rats and mouse.There is no money for daily aradana too..
The local residents and archakas have approached few mutts and the response is not very encouraging. BUT with the blessings of Sriya: pathi YOU can make a difference to this temple. The current estimate is around 15 lakhs of rupees to renovate the gopuram and other maintenance works.

Please review the images of scanned pages of Kumudam bhakthi special below regarding this temple.





 Sri Krishnan from Miami has mailed adiyen regarding this temple and adiyen would appreciate your help for this noble cause.You may contact me on email rmvenkat@yahoo.com or Sri Krishnan on phone (305 333 2098) or his father Sri Srinivasa raghavan in Kanchipuram on phone (04112)237316.
Thanks for your patient reading.
dasan venkat.

What are the 16 upacharam that you could offer GOD?


Following are the 16 steps involved in a hindu-puja.

1.Aavahanam
2.Dhyanam
3.Aasanam
4.Paadyam
5.Arghyam
6.Snanam-Abhishekam
7.Vastram
8.Yagynopavitam
9.Gandham(Fragrance-Spray, Flowers, Adornments)
10.AdhaangaPuja
11.Dhoopam
12.Deepam
13.Naivedyam
14.Tamboolam
15.Neeraajanam
16.MantraPushpam

1.Aavahanam
This is an invitation to God to come to your Mandap or Puja Mandir

2.Dhyanam
This is the meditation sloka that you would chant visualizing GOD while meditating upon him. You could ask lord to come to your house in the form of RAMA, KRISHNA, VAMANA etc...It is up to you how you meditate upon him and he would come to your place in that form for you.

3.Aasanam
You would offer him a seat generally made with 9 types of gem-stone and is fully adorned with GOLD. Again, this could be visualized or meditated upon and you are not expected to make one for him...It is well and good if you could offer him a seat like that.

4.Padyam
Give him WATER to wash his legs.

5.Arghyam
Give him WATER to wash his hands.

6.Snanam-Abhishekam
You would request GOD to take bath. Vishnu loves bath in "Panchaamrutalu(honey, cow milk, cow ghee, cow yogurt, sugar)" followed by Suddhodaka snanam(holy bath with clear water)

7.Vastram
You would offer GOD new clothes after his holy bath

8.Yagynopavitam
You give him the holy thread to wear around his torso.

9.Gandham(Fragrance-Spray, Flowers, Adornments)
You sprinkle some fragrant scent(gandham) and sandalwood on him. "Vishno: Alankaara Priyaha:".Lord Vishnu loves to be adorned and he loves it if you do it with Tulsi and flowers. 

10.AdhaangaPuja
Every part in his body is praised with a mantram. So you could visualize here that he is seated in all the resplendent adornments, wearing the new silk clothes you have offered him in his majestic seat with a sweet smile filled with all the affection he has for you and eager to see what you would do next...This is when you would describe his every part of the body(useful for meditating upon him) with a hymn.

11.Dhoopam
You offer him agarbatti and Dhoopam(Fragrant smoke) from agarbatti

12.Deepam
You show him the lighted deepam. A lighted candle is the easiest form that our mind can contemplate on for meditation. So our elders have prescribed this step for letting the mind slow down a bit and meditate on god.

13.Naivedyam
You offer him food that you have prepared for him. This is when you get an opportunity to thank him for all that he has given you by offering him back from his own wealth.

14.Tamboolam
Now that GOD is full with your offering, he needs tamboolam for digestion. He is so full that he is not ready to move out of your mandap/altar even an inch.

15.Neeraajanam
You give him mangala haarathi with camphor. You would then take the najar off the lord by giving him aarathi and saying him "Managalam-May good things happen to you"

16.MantraPushpam
Pray him with mantra-pushpam "turning your manas into a flower with a hymn and offer at his feet" and bid him good bye only to invite him to your puja again.

These are the 16 steps that are followed in a hindu puja. These steps are prescribed in this order because this was how our special guests were treated at home. So it becomes easy for us to visualize our lord as a special guest who came to our home to accept our prayers and bless us. Following this prescription is just for showing our commitment to learn how to pray and another affirmative assurance for ourselves that we are heading in the right direction.

The lord doesn't demand any of these but it is for our satisfaction that we do all these steps. It is like a practice session for us to get used to this style of prayer which could later take us to "Manasa puja" which is "Puja through meditation where you do all these mentally in your mind/heart".
