MADURANTAKAM |

Apparently he did
not accompany Sri Rama here, being away to inform Bharata about the arrival of Sri
Rama.But Hanuman came afterwards and took bath in the temple tank, Ramachandra Pushkarani,
and from the banks he could see the deities of Rama, Lakshmana and Sita already installed
in the temple. As a true servant of Lord Sri Rama, Hanuman could visualize the presence of
Rama in everything. He has a separate temple on the bank of the tank, which is worth
visiting.
How Sri Rama came to Madurantakam during his Journies to and from Lanka can be traced in
the connected legends given below.
In the earliest days the Brahma Putras (sons of Brahma) wanted to know from Sri Narayana
the ways and means of attaining salvation. Narayana gave them an image of
himself in the shape of Karunakaramurthy to meditate upon. The place for meditation was
also specified as Vibhandakasram in Bakularanyam, which is modern Madurantakam. |
