Koonanchery

Famed as Vakra-Nivritti-Puram in ancient times, this small hamlet near Swamimalai is known to have been the spot where Maharshi Ashtavakra, (who is known to have been a great Bhairava Upasaka) consecrated the Ashta-Bhairavas in eight Sivalingas and worshipped the eight lingas daily for the correction of eight deformities in his body. Devotees pray at this temple for progeny without congenital defects.

At this hallowed place, Prasada was distributed by Pune Sringeri Shankara Math after abhiseka and aradhana in the evening on the same day.

  • The Self (Atma) is never born nor does It ever die; neither does It cease to exist after having once existed nor does the Self come into existence, like the body, having not existed before. Unborn, eternal, It undergoes no change whatsoever and is primeval; It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • A person who hears about the condemnation of another incurs sin. What need be said about the sin incurred by a man who actually engages in nit picking? Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Prabodha Sudhakara
  • If you pray with faith and devotion, the Lord will certainly listen to your earnest prayers. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Our nation and its culture have a hoary past and we should all be proud of it. Mere aping of the West is not beneficial for us. For example, care of aged parents is something that has come down to us traditionally and we must never neglect this duty by imbibing concepts of some free societies, wherein concern for one’s own parents is at low ebb. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is a great blunder not to make proper use of the body and mind that has been given to us by God. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
