Srikanteshwara Temple,
#Nanjangud  #Karnatakatemples 🚩

Srikanteshwara Temple or
Nanjundeshwara Temple is a famous Shiva Temple located in Karnataka at the bank of river  Kapila. Temple is also called Varanasi of South. Nanjunda means one who has consumed poison.

Story is  related to the Samudra Mathanam when Paramashiva had to consume halahala.

Parashurama worshipped Mahadeva here to relieve himself from the curse of Mathru Hatya. While clearing the place to do poojas Parashurama's  axe hit the Shivalingam and it began bleeding, that

mark is still visible even today. Thus
it is also believed that Parashurama did Shiva Prathishta here

Sthala Puranam says that, once there was a demon named Keshi who disturbed the people in the area, after  getting blessing from Brahma Deva  and Mahavishnu. Mahadeva appeared

here and killed demon Keshi and blessed this place as Papa Vinashini. Whoever praying to Srikanteshwara or Nanjundeshwara, after bathing in the  Kabini River will be relieved from all sins.

Stories of Guruvayurappan
Shri Krishna Leela

This is a beautiful story of Guruvayurappan. Once there lived in Guruvayur a poor family. Kitta, his wife & kids were struggling for their daily needs. With only a coconut tree in house, he earned a living by selling coconuts.

Kitta was from a low caste family. He was a great devotee of Guruvayurappan. Everyday before going to work he always prayed infront of a picture of Guruvayurappan in his house. His only wish was to worship at Guruvayur & have annadanam in temple. But he was not allowed there

It was Utsavam time in Guruvayur. From far behind kitta and family worshipped Guruvayurappan. Annadanam was given daily and no one was left empty stomach. Only Kitta didn't receive. That night, it was only Kitta's family who was sleeping without food. After temple nada closed

Shri Krishna, dressed himself as a Brahmin went to temple Kitchen. He packed food and went directly to kitta's house. Reaching Kitta's house, Shri Krishna told he was sent by a cook of Guruvayur temple and gave them the food he packed. Kitta and family was very happy seeing food.

When Kitta finished his food, Brahmin asked it will be better if he get a tender coconut( karikku)to drink. Kitta climbed the tree and gave all coconuts to him. After having 1 tender coconut, the Brahmin asked to bring remaining coconuts to Guruvayur temple the next day.

Karmanghat Hanuman Temple,
Hyderabad.

One among the oldest Temple which Hanuman protected from Invasion...
@LostTemple7

Situated at Karmanghat of Hyderabad this is a famous Hanuman temple. Kakatiya ruler while hunting heard Chanting of Ram Naama and found this sitting position of Hanuman Vigraham & prathista was done here. Pawan Putra Hanuman showers his blessing to all here.

Story is related to Aurangzeb Invasion, when he couldn't enter the temple premises. Aurangzeb ordered his army to destroy the temple, his army men tried to enter the temple but some strong force stopped them. When they informed the matter to Aurangzeb he himself went to check.

When reached near he heard a voice saying
मंदिर तोडना है तो पहले तुम करो मन घट meaning if you want to destroy the temple first make your mind stable and powerful. When Aurangazeb thought this would be done by someone to trick him, he saw a powerful light coming from that area.

With fear he fled from that place. Karo Man Ghat later changed into Karmanghat later. Ramanavami and Hanuman Jayanti are very famous here.

#AdiShankaracharya Swami Jayanti, 2022.
If today I'm identified as a true Sanatani Lad, that's only because of my Adi Guru, Sri Shankaracharya Maharaj, the establisher of Sarvapuratan Sanatan Dharma and Sanskritization.

Advaita Vedanta teachings of his time. He has established the Char dham (North- Badrinath Dham, East - Shree Jagannath Dham, West -Dwaraka Dham, South -Rameswaram Dham)
The Char Dhams are a set of four pilgrimage sites in India and visiting these sites help achieve the moksha.

Ugra Narasimhar at Padmanabhaswamy Temple is so powerful & ferocious that many had heard loud roar in night. To keep him calm Sundara Kandam parayanam is done there.

Our Goddess never compromised with evil, neither should We.
