LORD RAJARAJESWARA OF TALIPARAMBA |
|
Pleased with the highest spiritual
evolution of one Raghavaendra, popularly known as Sivayogi this Lord tendered
Jnanopadesa.
A rarity! This divinity thus embodies several uniques that establish his
spectacular sovereignty and it is living upto the name of Rajarajeswara given to
him. The Lord's sports too are many and mysterious too. He renders timely
help to the
adorers. He is astritaparimata to the core. Genuine prayers are being answered,
and the redress too is granted to many whose number is region.
During the
ruthless attack on the temple by Tippu's army; some of the Priests remaining in
closed doors of the garbhagriha, prayed earnestly with moist eyes to save them
and the temple from destruction. Moved by their soul-searing appeals, the
Pannagubhushana released his serpent. Soon there were serpents everywhere. Those
black cobras with outspread hoods crawling all over with hissing noise and
dilating fangs struck death to the soldiers at mere sight. The Chief was bitten,
and so they ran in pell mell. Farther damage was stopped and devotion triumphed.
Would any stand against that imperial sovereignty? Most of the lily livered,
half baked Nambudri priests having faith neither in God nor in themselves left
for safer places then. |
