SANESWAR BHAGAWAN OF MANDAPALLI

Though I have been doing my duty with all sincerity, I am blamed, cursed..." Intervening, the Lord said, "No my dear Saturn no, you have been doing your part marvelously well to the absolute satisfaction of all in the cosmos. Grieve not at the thoughtless comments made by the immature and ill developed. Be assured, this spot publishes to the world that the All -Time-Highest too cannot escape the Sanichara - period of ill-luck and the fruit of the action Karmaphala will have to be borne and exceptions to this rule are absolutely excepted. Take it from me, your in partiality, duty conscience and sincerity in execution are exemplary and they will be adored in all the ages. And this spot will be sanctified by a temple, built and dedicated to you, and you alone to propagate your glory". Patting Saturn, Lord Maheswar made a graceful exit with flashes of joy emanating from his compassionate eyes. As this place the little town Mandapalli thus sanctified by the visitation of the celestials-Saturn and Maheswar, ardent devotees built a temple in memory of the victory of Saturn and to perpetuate the monumental truth expounded by Lord Maheswar. It is the only one of its kind with that episode in the whole world and this uniqueness is making it all the more sacred for the pious worshippers. The temple declares to the world that fate is invincible and the Karmaphala must be accepted with equanimity and then only bliss seeks and fills the whole being. Though it is a very small shrine, the light it emits exceeds the effulgence of sun and it defied description. A visit is a MUST. Soulful adoration secures emancipation. Consolation is the first benediction that awaits every visitation. Yet there is another, legend, though differing in certain aspects of the occurrence of the episode narrated is concurs with the central message. This is also recorded in the puranas and sthalagnas narrate it thus.
