Maybe these spiritual giants make their verses simple for this very reason. Tamil is sweet and to bring such gems to us deserves our gratitude at the least. Please post more and more.<br />Not yet gone through the temple posts, I am doing it slowly so as to savor everything thoroughly.<br /><br />Thanks, Monamonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258307073115862832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10828792.post-1167129867457457942006-12-26T16:14:00.000+05:302006-12-26T16:14:00.000+05:30Thanks, Tamilalagan!

The temple is disrepaired and of course thanks to ASI for its maintenance and renovation works that are being carried out. I my opinion, the treasures that we have in our hand are those temples. Those temples show who we are! These are the cherished treasures that we need to preserve and hand it off to the next generations. So I concur with your idea of employing funds to maintain these age old temples that have stood for centuries, rather than building new temples. This was what Kanchi Periyavar (Sri Chandrasekara Saraswathi Swamigal) told, but was misunderstood by the people, as if he said people not to build new temples :). Anyways time has to answer!<BR/><BR/>@Priya<BR/>Thanks, visit this <A HREF="http://www.tamilnation.org/culture/architecture/darusuram.htm" REL="nofollow">link</A> for the details about the name for Lord Shiva. And Thanks once again for the Muktheeshwarar temple details. Will try to worship the God in the temple when I come to MaduraiR.

Muktheeshwarar of Airawadhanallur at my home town (Madurai) is believed to be the one worshipped by the white elephant of indra to get relieved from the curse earned for smashing a garland. The temple is a big one with beautiful Maragadavalli sametha muktheeshwarar. It is on one side of the Mariamman Teppakulam. Heavenly temple.<BR/><BR/>PriyaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10828792.post-1165459503273023292006-12-07T08:15:00.000+05:302006-12-07T08:15:00.000+05:30Thank you for posting the wonderful pictures of th...Thank you for posting the wonderful pictures of the temple. Just out of curiosity, do think the architecture of other temples of the same time period and Darasuram temple have some unique features, that reflect the shilpi shastra that was practiced. <BR/>Is the temple under disrepair? Are the regular poojas being carried out?<BR/>When I see new temples that are constructed at almost every city outside of India,I pose myself this question. Will the funds be more fruitfully employed if directed towards preserving the dilapidated temples back home or constructing new ones which will help continue the Hindu heritage to next generation. Well, time will tell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
