P AGE 14
SIR A G U MONTESSORI SCHOOL
visited Rathinagiri Bâla Murugan Temple
which was built around the 14th century. Over the passage
of time an ordinary sand structure was converted
into a stone shrine.
Greatness of the Shrine:
Ancient Hindu scriptures say
that wherever there is a hill,
Lord Murugan resides as the
all-powerful Deity. Of these Tirupparamkundram,
Tiruchendur,
Tiruvavinankudi, Tiruveragam
and Palamuthircholai are famous shrines, collectively
called 'Kundruthoradal'. The holy shrine at Rathinagiri
also features in this category.
Literary Evidence:
The 14th Century poet Arunagirinathar has sung about
this temple as Rathinakiri Vazh Murukane Ilaya
Vaaramarar Perumaley', which means 'Murugan, the
God of Devas resides in Rathinagiri'.
Divine Blessings
The Omnipotent Power manifests His Blessings to mankind
in three forms:
1. In the form of idol in the shrine.
2. In the form of the guru.
3. In the form of the devotee.
Of these three, Lord Bâlamurugan manifests himself at
Rathinagiri in two forms. The first is in the form of the
deity with his two consorts Valli and Teyvanai. The second
is in the form of our Guru, Swami Bâlamurugan
•We Visited Sripuram – The Golden Temple was built
in a short span of 7 years. It was inaugurated on
August 24, 2007. The consecration ceremony
was witnessed by thousands
of devotees. Since
then, the temple has attracted
hundreds of thousands
of devotees; often breaching the 1 lakh
mark on special occasions. The temple has also
changed the face of Thiruamalaikodi
village and the nearby town - Vellore. In the
coming years, the temple envisages to create a
positive influence on the
society and ultimately
bring about a change.
