TIRUVANNAMALAI - THE SEAT OF TEJOLINGA

It is here Lord Maheswar chastited Brahma for lying to him in connection with finding the top of the blazing column, his manifestation;  it is here he is remaining in the form of hill and appearing as Jyoti every year on Karthika Pournami;  it is here the celebrated Manikavachagar composed Tiruvembavai;  it is here the world famous Bhagawan Ramana Maharshi immortalised the Lord's glory in 108 verses in ecstatic rhapsody;  it is here Daivasikamani Desikar demonstrated his yogic powers to bringing back to life the dead horse of a certain Chola King; it is here Isanya Gnana Desikar enabled a European Collector, crossing the flooded river with his spiritual powers;  it is here Guhai Namasivayar and Guru Namasivayar wrote Arunagiri  Anthathi and Annamalai Venba;  it is here in praise of this Lord, Siva Prakasa Swamigal composed Sonasaila Malai; it is here Ellappa Navalar Maharaja had the unique honour of his funeral obsequies performed by Lord Siva himself;  and it is here several mahapurushas attained Siddhi.  The miracles of the Lord Siva thus roll into legions and display his unbounded love for bhaktas.  Let us listen to its glory before the darsan.
