Thiru Pullapoothangudi Divyadesam is one of the Sree Vaishnava Navagraha Parihara Temples Budhan - Mercury parikara Sthalam. Moolavar is being worshipped as Valvil Ramar, blessing in HIS Reclining Posture facing East and the Utsavar is worshipped as Sree Raman. Thayar is Hemambuja Valli and Potramaraiyal. Theertham is Jadayu Theertham and the temple Vimanam is known as Shobana Vimanam. The temple is located just about 10 KM from Kumbakonam and 3 KM from Swamimalai - One of the Six Abodes of Lord Murugan. Thirupullabhoothangudi Divyadesam, whose legendary dates back to Ramayana Period and was well explained by Thirumangai Ahwar in his Periya Thirumozhi. This is the Only Divyadesam where Sri Ramar is blessing in Bala Sayana Posture with four hands holding HIS Bow, the Arrows and in addition to that Sangu and Chakra - The Conch and Discus.Why the Conch and Chakra in Sriram’s Hand ? – Usually Sri Rama blesses in HIS Standing Posture - Nindra Thiruk Kolam with HIS Bow and Arrows. But here in Thiru Pullabhoothangudi HE is seen in HIS Lying Posture - Kidantha Thiruk Kolam and that too holds additionally the Conch and Chakra alongwith HIS Bow and Arrows in HIS Four Hands. This is the one and only temple where we can see Sri Rama is seen with all HIS ornaments. Sita Devi is not seen as this temple is related to the period when Sree Rama suffered by the abduction of HIS consort Sitadevi by Ravana. Pullabhoodhangudi is the Pithru Parika Sthalam. Devotees believe that by praying the ALMIGHTY here all the obstacles related to the marriage will be overcome. Devotees who look for improvement in their career and seeking employment can make the sincere praers to Yoga Narasimmar, who materialises the desires of the devotees. Perumal is seen here in Thiru Pullabhoodhangudi along with Lord Brahma in HIS Lotus, Bhoo Devi, Siriya Thiruvadi Anjaneya and Jadayu in the Sannidhi. After completing the last rites for Jadayu, Sri Rama was resting here under the Punnai Tree. At that time Thirumangai Azhwar came to this place and he was seeing some one was sleeping and not gave any importance to him. Suddenly a BIG Light appeared and Thirumangai Azhwar looked back and saw Sri Ramar with four Hands with his Usual Bow and Arrow as well additionaly a Conch and Chakra. Blessed Thirumangai Azhwar requested the ALMIGHTY to present and bless the devotees in the same form as he was blessed. The orignal moolavar is made of Sudhai. Yoga Narsimmar worshipped as Udyoga Narasimmar here in Thirupullabhoodhangudi Divyadesam is very powerful. Brindhavanam of 19th Jeer is located here. |

| Mudhal Alwars - Poigai Azhwar, Boothathalwar and Peyalwar | |||
Azhwars means the Saints who immerse themselves wholly with Paranthaman. They are the Hamsams of the Almighty. Poigai Azhwar is the Hamsam of HIS Panchachanyam, HIS Conch, Boothathazhwar is of HIS Gadhai, The Mace, where as Peyazhwar is of HIS Nandhagam, His Sword and are collectively worsshipped as Mudhal Azhwars. The wonder is that they were born in 7th Century A.D.on the consecutive days in Aipasi Month of Sidharthi Year on Thiruvonam, Avittam and Chadhayam Star respectively. Unlike the normal babies, they were born on the Flower Buds. Poigai AZhwar was born on a Lotus Flower in a temple pond near Thiruvekka. He is also called as Adhi Kavi ( First Poet ). Boothathalwar was born on a flower called “Kurukkandhi” in a garden at Kadalmallai near Mahabalipuram. Peyazhwar was born on a Red-Lilly flower in the well of Adhi Kesava Perumal Temple at Mylaopre, Chennai. Nammazhwar, who is the Hamsam of Viswaksena addressed these Mudhal Azhwars as “Inkavi Padum Parama Kavigal” means Poets of Narayanan who sung Sweetest Hymns of HIM”. Eventhough all these three Azhwars was residing in the same period in nearby places, they were not known to each other. But the Almighty wanted them to meet each other. |
