Vaitheeswaran temple is known in Hindu scriptures as Pullirukkuvelur, (Pul - Irukku - Vel - Ur, the words in Tamil meaning Bird (Jatayu), Rig Veda, Lord Murugan and Sun respectively) is one of the important Shiva temples in the South.

The Legend
There are many legends associated with this temple. It is said that Lord Murugan received his Vel in order to vanquish the demon King Soorapathman in this place. It is also believed that Lord Shiva himself appeared at this place with Goddess Thaiyalnayaki carrying the "Sanjeevi Thailam" (panacea for all ills) and the soil from the roots of the vilva tree in order to cure all illnesses of mankind.

A King by the name of Veerasena was a devotee of Lord Shiva and he found that his son Chithrasena was suffering from an incurable illness. So he took the advice of his Guru and arrived at this place, and after offering puja to the deity smeared his body and that of his son Chitrasena with the sacred ash viboodhi found in the Jatayu kundam where upon he found that his son was cured of his illness.

The tank in front of the temple of Goddess Thaiyalnayaki is a very holy Theertham (also spelt as Teertha). It is said that this water cured the white leprosy of a devotee called "Suntharan" and red leprosy of Ankaragan, and when this Theertham was sprinkled on the severed head and body of Thakkan, the two pieces miraculously joined together and he was brought back to life.

The Deity
In other temples only the main deity is considered to be potent, here three deities the Ishwara, The Devi and Muruga are very powerful in bestowing grace. Muruga here known as "Muthu Kumaraswami" is the most charming figure and innumerable legends have arisen to reveal his grace. It was this Kumara, who taught saint Kumaragurupara, the opening sentence for his devotional lyrics.

The spear is inseparable from Muruga and he is also called "Vel-Muruga". It was the spear that pierced the chest of Surapadma and put an end to all his evil deeds. And this spear was bestowed to Muruga here only by his mother Parvati.

The Temple
As we enter the town two tall Gopurams eastern and western Gopurams can be seen. The south entrance is not so magnificent, which leads to the temple tank Siddamrita Teertham, a very sacred pool. This picturesque pool is surrounded by a covered corridor with fine flight of steps to the water, which ripple around a water pavilion in its midst. Its waters are said to contain medicinal properties and peculiarity is that it harbours no fogs. People with various illnesses come here to get cured and hence this place is called "Vaitheeswaran" - the one who cures of illnesses.

Three important sanctums, one for Vaidyanada facing west and for Devi Thayalnayaki and selva Muthukumaraswami facing south adorns the interior. In the north corridor abutting the Shiva's sanctum is the shrine of Avudai Amman the Bhadrakali.

Another salient feature of the temple is the presence of Planet Angaraka (Tuesday) and Jvaraharesvara (Lord of fevers). Even for every fatal ill like Smallpox, application of neem leaves is considered to be effective and this temples holy tree (Thalamaram) is neem, seen near the eastern Gopuram, with a sturdy trunk and sprawling branches.

The sanctum of the Ishwara has a corridor around it, with the festival icons of Adikara Nandi and Jatayu. The Navagraha images stationed in the east corridor are devoid of Angaraka and Sun. The south corridor has the Jatayu Kunda, the place where Rama performed the last rites to Jatayu, with images of Rama, Lakshamana, Visvamithra, Vasista and Jatayu over that Kunda. Another unusual thing here is the presence of Sattanada above Dakshinamurti.

A special puja is conducted every month during karthikai with the main festival falls in the month of Thai (Jan/Feb) to Sri Selvamuththukumarar.

NADI ASTROLOGY

History

In India someone having records of your past, present and future, hard to believe it. Yes, It is possible in Nadi Astrology. Nadi is an ancient astrology, which has been composed by great Maharishis (sages) of India in the past usingtheir spiritual powers. The sages recorded these predictions for everyindividuals for the betterment of humanity and to safeguard dharma (righteousness). These sages predicted the characteristics, family history, as well as the careers of innumerable individuals contain in several thousand volumes, each containing around a hundred predictions. These Nadi prediction recordings, being the repository of wisdom of the Great Saint was one of the well preserved books for thousands of years by the many generations of rulers, until an auction during the British rule, when it finally became the proud possession of an influential family of Valluvar community at Vaitheeswarankoil in the Tanjore district of Tamilnadu.

The Rishis (sages), who dictated those Nadis, were gifted with such a remarkable foresight that they accurately foretold the entire future of all mankind. Many scholars in different parts of India have in their safekeeping several granthas. Initially, Nadi Astrology predictions was thought to be just writing on Astrology, but soon it became evident that the scriptures contained some unique predictions of specific natives, who will come seeking them, at a particular stage of their lifetime, as foretold by the Great Saint in these predictions.

This great work makes us realize the limitations of human sciences., eclipses the achievements of all other sciences put together. These predictive texts also contain a chapter recommending certain Pilgrimages or prayers, worship and charities at specific shrines, to neutralize ones past sins

The source point of Nadi Astrology leaves can be traced back to approximately more then 2000 years. It is said that the Seven Maharishis (sages) Agasthya, Kausika, Vyasa, BoharBrigu, Vasishtha and Valmiki had predicted and then written life of each individual on leaves of a palm tree by their spiritual powers. These Nadi leaves were initially stored in the premises of Tanjore Saraswati Mahal of Tamilnadu State in India. The British rulers later showed interest in the Nadi leaves concerned with herbs and medicine, future prediction etc; but ironically left most of the Nadi prediction leaves to their loyal people. Some leaves get destroyed and some very auctioned during the British rule. Some Nadi leaves were anyhow possessed by the families of astrologers in Vaitheeswarankoil from Tanjore Saraswati Mahal Library. At about 13th century these leaves were rediscovered by the forefathers which were lying unclaimed in Vaitheeswarankoil and realized their tremendous value and created the copies of the predictions on the palm leafs and created them their exact duplicates. Then these Nadi leaves were passed down from generation to generation make predictions, astrologers earn their lively hood from them. It has become profession which was provided by their ancestors to them, the son got trained by his father and the father by his father to make Nadi predictions. The prediction written on the leaf is in ancient Tamil in form of poems, same as language used in ancient temple of Tamilnadu.

The texts are mainly written in Vatteluttu, which is an ancient Tamil script. The script largely resembles to that of Grantha Script in its developing form. There are different schools of thought as to the author of these leaves. They were written by a great Tamil sage called Agathiyar who had divine revelations. This doctrine of astrology was made famous by astrologers around the Vaitheeswaran Temple in the state of Tamil Nadu and is still practiced around the temple by their descendants.

These Nadi leaves were initially stored in the premises of Tanjore Saraswati Mahal Library of Tamil Nadu.. These Nadi leaves were obtained and possessed by the families of astrologers in Vaitheeswaran Temple. This is an art passed down the years from one generation to the other. A carbon dating was performed in 1995 and yielded an age of some 350 years, placing the manuscript in the 17th century.

Procedure

Usually, the Nadi Reader asks for the thumb impression (right hand thumb impression for males and left hand thumb impression for females). The Nadi Reader then searches his repository of leaves for the seeker's classification of thumb print. Finally, the minimum possible set of matching leaves is brought. Every leaf corresponds to some individual and hence will bear the birth and kinship details of its seeker. Then the Nadi Reader goes on asking about the details mentioned on the palm leaf one by one, for sake of finding the exact leaf out of the set of the leaves. For example, he will ask you if your (i.e. the seeker's) name is XYZ. If it is correct or incorrect, the seeker would require to say yes or no. If the answer to the first question was in the affirmative, the reader then reads the next detail written on the same leaf, e.g. "Your mother's name is ABC." Again the seeker has to confirm the same or otherwise. If the seeker's mother's name was incorrect, the seeker would only have to say "no". That would mean the specific leaf did not belong to the seeker. Hence the reader starts reading another palm leaf. And so the procedure continues. The seeker is asked a series of questions, based on the verses, so as to find the exact match. These questions are to be answered yes or no. The exact leaf of the seeker is said to get only "yes" responses from the seeker. If all the details on the one and the same leaf are 100% correct, then that leaf belongs to the seeker.

Nadi Astrology is an ancient Indian method of Astrology to learn about one's past, present and the future. It is said that thousands of years ago, the great sages of Indian had the power to look into the past and future of the entire universe and recorded the life of each human being who either lived, were living or were to live. At some point of time , those findings were documented on palm leaves in an ancient Tamil script, which can now only be deciphered by expert Nadi astrologers.

NADI in Tamil means “ in search of“. Because an individual goes in search of his predictions to this system, it came to be called by this name, Nadi Astrology. The palm leaf inscriptions, otherwise known as Nadies, are scattered throughout India. Some of these palm leaf inscriptions, Nadies available in Tamilnadu were standardized, ordered and classified in Tamil Nadu nearly 2000 years ago during the reign of the Cholas in South India. There are Number of Nadies, palm leaf inscriptions available named after the Rishis who composed the same. There are only a few Nadi readers available who could interpret the inscriptions which are written in the poetic language. There are various Nadies, palm leaf insciptions available like Agathiya Naadi, Shukha Nadi, Brahma Nadi, Kaushika Nadi etc.

Each Nadi is a collection of the inscriptions of a particular Rishi concerned , written in Vatta Ezhuthu , a Tamil script, with a sharp, nail-like instrument called Ezhuthani. The palm leaves are preserved by the application of peacock oil on auspicious occasions. These palm leaves are still preserved in the Saraswathi Mahal library of Tanjore(Thanjavur), in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The primary centre for Nadi Shastra/Nadi Astrology is in Vaitheeswarankoil, near Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu.
