RISHI BHRINGI AND ARDHA-NAREESHWAR SHIVA

Rishi Bhringi was a devoted bhakt of Mahadev. However, in his devotion to Shiva, he ignored Mata Parvati.

Once, he visited Kailasha along with other Rishis. All the Rishis did parikrama of Shiva and Parvati both except Rishi Bhringi.

The same situation continued whenever Rishi Bhringi visited Kailasha. Mata Parvati decided to teach him that Shiva and Parvati are one and inseparable.
So on one such visit, Mata Parvati sat on the left lap of Mahadev when Rishi Bhringi came.

Seeing this, Rishi Bhringi took the form of a bee(some say bird) and did pradakshina/ parikrama only around Shiva’s head and ignored Ma Parvati.
Angered Mata took away the Shakti from his body. Rishi lost his blood and flesh and was left with a bare skeletal form.

Seeing him in such a situation where he was unable to support himself, Shiva granted a third leg to him.
Shiva then fused one half of his body with that of Ma Parvati and appeared as Ardha Nareeshwar.
Rishi Bhringi finally realised that Shiv and Shakti are one and the same.

VYAGHRAPADA AND NATARAJA

Vyaghrapada was a Shiva bhakt in Chidambaram region. Everyday he offered fresh flowers on Shivlinga.
One day, he observed that honeybees used to drink nectar from flowers before he offered them to Prabhu. So he started going to forest before sunrise.

In the course of collecting flawless flowers and tender bilva leaves, he got wounded by the thorns and rough surfaces of the trees. Still he continued his effort. Pleased Shiva gave him the boon of having tiger legs and eyes in the hands and feet.

Vyaghrapada continued his tapas in the hope of seeing Ananda Tandava one day.
Much later, Mahadev was roaming in Thillai Vanam as a simple wanderer seeking alms.
The forest had some rishis who believed in the supremacy of magic and that Prabhu can be controlled by magic.

Their wives were enchanted by Shiva’s divine presence. Seeing this, the rishis invoked scores of snakes. Shiva lifted them and wore them as ornaments. Then a tiger was invoked. Shiva subdued the tiger n wore his skin around his waist. So the rishis invoked an Asura- Muyalakan.

Shiva stepped on its back, vanquished it and performed Ananda Tandava in his true form.
Vyaghrapada was finally able to see the divine Ananda Tandava and attained Moksha.
Thillai Nataraja Mandir depicts Vyaghrapada with tiger legs carrying a stick with hook and flower basket.

SRI KALAHASTI KSHETRAM, CHITTOOR (AP)
#bharatmandir

Panchbhootasthalam representing vayu element, also called Dakshin Kailasha.
As per Shiva’s boon, Vayu is incarnated here as Shiva and worshipped as Kalahasteeswara.
The kshetram is also associated with Rahu and Ketu.

The Kshetram is named after 3 devotees of Shiva- a snake, spider and elephant who worshipped a lingam in the forest. Elephant did jal abhishek with water from its trunk, spider protected it from dust by weaving a web on it and snake adorned it with his jewel.
@GunduHuDuGa

Once, the web and jewel got washed away when elephant sprayed water on the lingam. Angered snake entered elephant’s trunk and bit him but died in the process. The agitated elephant trampled the spider accidentally. Shiva gave moksha to all three.

Hence the name-Sri for Spider, kaal for snake n hasti for elephant.

Shiv bhakt Kanappa is said to have plucked his own eye to put it on the lingam here when he saw blood oozing from the eye on the lingam
This place is the ultimate location for Rahu Kethu Sarpa Dosha Nivarana.

MOTI DOONGRI GANESHA, JAIPUR (Raj)

Moti Doongri has a striking resemblance to a pearl drop.
The Ganesh Mandir was built by Seth Jai Ram Paliwal in 18th c. It is one of the most significant mandirs in Jaipur.
Ganesha’s trunk faces left, considered very auspicious.
@LostTemple7

Legend is that in 17th century when the King of Mewar was returning home, he carried a Ganesha murti with him on a bullock cart. He declared that wherever the bullock cart first stopped, he would build a mandir for Ganesha.
The cart stopped at the foothill of Moti Doongri.

Thus, the mandir was built here. (Doongri means a small hill).

There are two ledges on both sides of the entrance to mandir.

People believe that Ganesha is pleased if Bhaktas sit here for a few minutes after offering their prayers and do not rush back home immediately.

VEERBHADRA MANDIR, LEPAKSHI (AP)

Constructed at Penukonda during King Achutaraya’s reign in 1530 by Virupanna Nayaka and Viranna, brothers who were Governors in Vijayanagar Empire.

This is one of the divyakshetras, (Shiva’s significant pilgrimage place) as per Skanda Purana.

Legend is that the mandir was built by Maharshi Agastya.
It is believed that Pakshi Jatayu fell here after battle with Ravana to rescue Ma Sita.
Sri Rama is believed to have said to the brave bird “Le Pakshi” — ‘rise, bird’ in Telugu. From this, the place got it’s name.

The mandir is dedicated to Veerbhadra whom Shiva created in anger after Daksha Yagna.

The mandir floor also has a huge footprint believed to be that of Ma Sita that was created when Ravana stopped here for sometime after abducting her. The footprint is always moist.

The monolith Nandi sculpted from a single block stone is positioned in such a way that it faces Nagalinga inside the mandir complex.

The Hall has the famous Hanging pillar that doesn’t touch the ground. One can pass thin objects like piece of cloth from one side to other.

AGAMA SHASTRA:THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE MARVELS OF HINDU ARCHITECTURE

Agama Shastra is a Sanskrit word that means the manual for worship, temple building, rituals etc in Hindu Tradition.From Sanskrit,agama means handed down by tradition and Shastra means a commentary or treatise.

Therefore, Agama Shastra is a collection of ideas that drafts the rules for worship, temple construction, spirituality and rituals. It has been a guideline for many Hindus from ancient times. It's a collection of Sanskrit, Tamil and Grantha scriptures that mostly contains...

...methods of temple construction, idol creation, philosophical doctrines and meditative practices. It came into being after years of assimiliation and from a variety of sources. Some parts of it are pre-vedic while some are post-vedic.

Hindu Temples are not just temples, they are the pride and identity of Hindus. They are the symbols of Hindu unity and their religious aspirations. Temples are the places of spiritual healing and are our connection with the creator almighty.

Temples are the priceless treasure of our History, Heritage ,Art & Architecture. Architecture that mesmerises and spell bounds you. And Agama Shastra is that very text which is responsible for such a mesmerising and spell binding quality and beauty of our Hindu Temples.
