Uniqueness
of Aakasamurti Kshetra
Say
Childambaram and look ! There emerges then on the mental
screen the rhythmic foot work and graceful movements of that cosmic
dancer Nataraja, lost in the demonstration of Bhujanga Trasa to the
accompaniment of orchestral music to serve a royal banquet to the
ears and eyes of the viewers, from his favourite seat of Chitsabha
of Chidambaram temple. Holy is the sight! Holier is the
feat!! Holiest is the seat !!! And the most holiest is
that expert !!!! This chidambaram thus emerged occupies the most
conspicuous place in legends, as the seat of cosmic dance from time
immemorial, in addition, this divya kshetra enshrines the
much-venerated Aakaasalinga, one of the five exalted Bhuta lingas,
and this Aakaasamurti of Lord is worshipped with utmost reverence
over ages.
