The
next puja is to be offered to Chandesa, an ordinary mortal raised to
the status of General of Pramada ganas - Siva's forces. He was a
canonized saint and hence worshipping is a MUST. The four Saiva
Samayaacharyas Appar, Sambandar, Sundarar and Manikyavachakar
invariably found in the company of sixty three Nayanmars deserve
adoration too. Coming out of the inner prakara, we greet the image
of Dakshinamurti, always installed in the western most niche on the
southern wall of the garbha griha. Before coming out Rishabha or
Nandi, the vehicle of Siva , is to be prayed for. And the worship
will be complete with the worship offered to Sthala vriksha found in
every temple.
This
sequence is to be followed invariably, when a visit is made to Siva
temple. Full merit is ensured, if this order is followed.
