2) A
rose is a rose is a rose.So too a Columnist is a columnist is a
columnist.Mrs Rajee Mani is a prolific writer & a powerful
speaker.She adorns everything she does with aplomb &
distinction.Quality appears to be her watchword, not catchword.
Especially, when a Columist or a Writer embarks on a spiritual,
religious topic,it is likely to be beset with difficulties of
terminology & correctness of contents,as it must be in tune with
known or recorded history .She has richly portrayed the ancient temple
with a hoary past, a swayambu Linga,& the Goddess PeriyaNayagi,the
pujas done with devotion by Sivacharya,the festival celebrations of all
important & sacred ones done with alankaram of the deities catches
the devotees mind & heart & fills them with purity &
sanctity.Rajee Mani takes us like a Guide to narrate vividly each &
every deity which one goes to worship in the pradakshanams which a
devotee does with full religious fervor & obeisance to God.
3)A
devotee likes to know the specialities of a Temple & its
uniqueness.Religion is a medicine for cure, for stillness of the mind,
which wavers like the lamp during a wind,it is the be-all & end-all
for people afflicted with many problems, & when agama sastras are
followed implicitly & explicitly,such ancient temples ooze out
nectar to cure all ills of society.Moreso, in a land of Saints
,AvataraPurushas, Philosophers, Poets, Singers,when interludes of music
in many forms meet,mix & mingle to bring harmony,so too Mantras
& Slokas,when chanted in typical laid-down style by our Gurus ,a
Heavenly abode is created, as it were.Bhakthi embraces families, values
& culture spread,toxins & worries are eliminated & a
synergy of sorts emanates,the ringing of the bells ,the arathi ,the
agarbathi spreading aroma ,OM SAKTHI,OM NAMASIVAYA,OM VAALLEESWARA, OM
PERIYANAYAGI resound like a jugalbhandhi ,the entire atmosphere
surcharged with devotion & gives much-needed therapy for uplift of
human beings.
4)It
is this unity in diversity of India,which has baffled many historians
& foreigners to exclaim, with all its ills of society, one single
strand of homogeneity prevails & none can poke his nose or destroy
that strong bond of spiritualism. Rajee Mani analyses threadbare the
temples specialities with great care & accuracy. 27 deities
,Navagraha s with special Shani Bhagawan sannidhi, the Panchalinga with
unique ancient sadhus & siddhas sculpted on the Gopuram is a
special attraction.She has also unfailingly touched the topic of miracle
of growing lizard,Festivals unite, care, grandeur,teamwork decoration
so meaningful combinations, adherence to shastras create in entire
neighbourhood bliss,togetherness, service to humanity, respect for
others. We have pleasure to offer our congratulations to WE Editor &
Publishers & profusely thank the Columnist Rajee Mani for the
wonderful & beautiful depiction of this ancient temple steeped in
ancient civilization & history.We profusely thank the Editor &
Publisher Mrs Sumathi Srinivas for publishing our photos & other
divine photos ,so captivating.

A HOLISTIC EDUCATION & A SPOTLESS RELIGION WILL FORM A POWERFUL
