| Accordingly the
Rishis Gopila and Gopralaya performed Yoga on the banks of Haridra Nadi. Lord Krishna was
pleased with their penance and asked them what they wanted. The Rishis requested the boon
that Lord Krishna should again perform all his important Lilas at that place. The request
was granted. Vanduvarapati. The place abounds in bees that never spare a flower without. Sucking its honey and the dense forest of Senbaga trees with their sweet fragrance. Since bees do not visit the Senbaga flowers, they are pure and thus fit to adorn the Lord. Swayambhu Sthala. Once Lord Brahma as the creator of the Universe began to think too much of himself and considered all other gods as subordinate to him. Seeing the strange behavior of Brahma, Lord Vishnu cursed him to forget all about creation. Brahma was terrified at this curse. He had to come to Senbagaranyam (Mannargudi) and conduct severe penance in order to get absolved of the sin. |
