Gunaseelam Temple History

As per the Legends, Gunaseelar the disciple of Saint Sreethalpya served his Guru with such honesty that he was given with the superior knowledge of his guru. One day, Gunaseelar went on a pilgrimage to the Tirumala Hills and had darshan of Lord Venkateswara. He pleaded the Lord to come with him to his ashram as he could not be separated from Him anymore. The Lord moved by the devotion of Gunaseelar and told him that as he can’t leave Tirumala as He is in a state of debt. Lord directed Gunaseelar to return to his Ashram and perform penance. The Lord told the saint that none other than Vaikuntavasa Sri Narayana would appear before him.

Gunaseelar did penance as directed by the Lord. After so many years, in the Krita Yuga Lord self-manifested in the ashram of Gunaseelar. Gunaseelar was excited and spent his days performing puja. During this time, his guru Sreethalpya wants to perform penance in  Badrinath. He asked his disciple to accompany and stay with Him. Gunaseelar was in a dilemma, wheater to go with his guru or to stay with Lord.

The ever kind Narayana was so moved at seeing the condition of his devotee and told him to serve his guru. Gunaseelar left the place after appointing a young boy to take care of the deity. Unfortunately, the boy grew fearful of the wild animals and the swirling waters of the Cauvery, He ran away. As time passes by, an anthill grew over the deity.

Many years later, king Gnana Varman who was ruling this region, established a cowshed near to Gunaseelam. One day the cowherds noticed that the level of milk in the milk cans had gone down mysteriously. The puzzled cowherds reported this to the king and he came to see the mysterious disappearance of the milk. At that point, an old Brahmin appeared and told the king that if the anthill was dissolved with milk, the king could see the Lord Venakatachalpathy. The anthill was dissolved with milk and the Idol of Venkatachalapathy with a Conch, discus, whip and sceptre was revealed.

Thayumana Swamy Legend

Siva Lingam at Thayumana Swamy shrine is represented by an imposing natural projection of rock over 5 feet high.

As per the Legends, an ardent devotee Ratnavati became pregnant, her mother went to help her during delivery time. Ratnavati lived on the north bank of the river Cauvery, which flows thru Tiruchirapalli. As the baby delivery time approached, Ratnavati’s mother had to go to Tiruchirapalli, crossing the river which was flooding.

A worried Ratnavati prayed to the Lord and found her mother by her side. The baby was born safely. Soon after the floods receded, her mother reached the place. When she asked how she managed to deliver the baby, then they came to know that it is Lord who came in the form of her Mother. Thayum ana means “One who became the Mother”.

It is believed that the original temple entrance was facing East and now it is in the opposite direction. As per the Legends, Sage Sarama an ardent devotee of Lord Siva used to grow a special flower in his garden for the Lord. One day he found a guard of King Parantaka Chola ( 907 A.D – 955 A.D) was taking away the flowers. The sage complained to the King about the theft. King ignored the complaint after knowing from the guard that the queen ordered for these flowers. Sage cried a lot before the Lord as he was not able to perform Pooja.  Lord Siva became angry that He averted his benign glance from the capital city of Urayiur. This caused a rain of soil to fall on the city, the worried king prayed for Vekkali Amman ( a form of Goddess Parvati), who pacified the Lord.

Uchi Pillayar Temple Legends

As per the Legends, Vibishana brother of Ravana was returning to Lanka from Ayodhya after attending the Coronation of Lord Rama. Lord Rama presented him the Idol of Sri Rangantha in the recumbent form, which Sri Rama and his clan were worshipping. Rama mentioned that this Idol should not be placed on the ground till you reach Lanka. Vibhishana while crossing Cauvery thought of offering prayers to Sun God. He then looked around and found a young boy to whom he handed over the Idol and asked him not to place it on the ground. The Young boy set the terms that he will keep this Idol down on the Earth if he is not going to return for his three calls.

Vibhishana surprised to find the Idol on the Earth and is immovable. Angered Vibhishana chased the boy up to the top of a nearby hill and rapped him hard on his forehead. Immediately, the young boy turned into Ganesha and gave darshan to him. And therefore, the name ‘Uchi Pillayar’
