Visit to Sri Navaneetha Krishnan / Sri Rama Baktha Kariya Sidhi Anjaneyar temple at Thittai
Quick facts:
Main deity: Rukmani Sathyabama Sametha Krishnan facing eastGoddess: Hemabja NayakiOther main deity: Kariya Sidhi Anjaneyar facing NorthOther deities: Lakshmi Narayan facing south, Garudazhwar facing westVimanam: Thuvithala vimanamSthala vruksham: Banyan, Parijatham (Pavazha malli)Theertham: Jenbakarunya Pushkarani
The Temple:
Near to the Guru Bhagawan temple in the southwest direction, this small temple called Kariya Sidhi Anjaneyar is located. The main deity is Navaneetha Krishnan and the other main deity is Anjaneyar in a separate shrine in meditative pose. It is a popular belief here that by submitting one’s wish to the Anjaneyar and practicing worship as guided by the Anjaneyar(through the priest), the wish gets fulfilled. The process is as follows:
You get a set of items from the temple containing an unpeeled dry coconut (Matta Thengai), a jacket cloth piece and other pooja items for a nominal sum, write your address and the wish to be fulfilled in separate papers, make a bundle of all these by keeping the wish list inside the bundle and pasting the address paper outside. You hand over this to the priest who then submits it to the Anjaneyar deity in meditative pose. While the priest is submitting your wish to the Anjaneyar, the priest instructs to you the form of prayer practice (like lighting the deepam in an Anjaneyar temple) you have to take, the no of weeks you have to continue the practice and the no of days/ weeks it will take for the wish to get fulfilled. You have to be ready with a pen and paper to note it down since it will not be repeated. The bundle will be tied to a stick in an exclusive place within the temple and will remain there for a few months. After your wish is fulfilled, you are expected to visit the temple again to untie the bundle and perform an abisheham for the Anjaneyar.
Our relatives say that this Anjaneyar is very powerful and they have seen that this practice has brought about success in many cases. I have also submitted my personal wish and my kids’ wishes and I have to see the result. Immaterial of the result, we got into the habit of lighting the deepam in an Anjaneyar temple every Saturday and that too we try to do it in a new Anjaneyar temple which we have not visited before. This gives us an immense pleasure and we are extremely happy with this routine. We planned to continue this as long as we are able to.
The Mahasamprokshanam of the temple took place on 31st Aug 2007.
Note on Guru Worship:
In most of the temples you will see only Lord Dakshinamoorthy as Guru Bhagawan and the following 3 places are considered very special because:
All the 7 gurus are present in Uthamar koil,
Lord Brahma is present as Guru in Thirupattur and
Navagraha Guru is present as Guru in Thittai.
For someone desparate to seek Lord Guru’s blessings, the best way could be to visit all these three special Guru temples in a single day on a Thursday and I recommend the following for people who wish to do the same.
From Trichy, first you can visit Uthamar koil and from there to Thirupattur. Then while coming back you may visit Samayapuram. You can then go to Tanjore without coming to Trichy city by taking the bypass road at the Toll gate. Tanjore is just an hour drive from Trichy. At Tanjore, you can go to Thittai temple without going into the city by taking the bypass ring road and getting into the Kumbakonam road and then proceed towards Thittai. (From there you may visit Thirukandiyur as well).
