点评:We visited vaitheeswaran temple with family.
From mayavaram station we took car and stayed in nearby hotel .
We opted early morning 6 o clock for my daughter tonsure ,so bought ticket and they have some place to tonsure and hot water was also available to give bath for kids.after getting fresh we all went to temple.
We got archanai plates and did our archanai for lord vaitheeswaran swamy that's lord Shiva,then came to thaiyalnayaki shrine ,since it was kandha shasti week,abhishekam was done for muthukumaraswamy also that is lord Muruga.
Then here main important god is lord Angarakan or planet Mars,they give archanai plate with red cloth ,so we can do archanai and temple elephant is also there ,which comes to bless us all.
Here there are few things very special
1.lord Shiva is worshipped as vaidyanathar or vaitheeswaran 'god of healing'.derived from vaidya (doctor) ,ishavara (god).
2.the temple is renowned for plam leaf astrology ,known as Nadi astrology and siddhamirtham tank believed to contain water with healing properties.
3.legend says Shiva appeared here as a doctor,to cure a devotee named angaraha of leprosy.
4.the surrounding sanctum are metal images of subramanya swamy,nataraja,somaskanda ,Angarakan,and stone sculpture of various deities.
5.the thaiyalnayaki shrine is also believed to cure diseases.
6.tonsure ceremonies for children ,lighting lamps on rice cakes (maavilaku), placing salt and pepper in front of pot near temple tank,are very common .
Also thiruchandu urundai is available,which is of medicinal property.
翻译:我们和家人一起参观了Vaitheeswaran寺庙。
我们从Mayavaram车站乘车前往附近的酒店入住。
我们选择早上6点为女儿剃度,所以买了票。他们有地方剃度,还有热水给孩子们洗澡。梳洗完毕后,我们一起去了寺庙。
我们拿到Archanai牌,为Vaitheeswaran Swamy神(也就是湿婆神)做了Archanai。然后我们去了Thaiylnayaki神社。因为那天是Kandha Shasti周,所以也为MuthukuMarasWamy神(也就是穆鲁加神)做了Abhishekam。
这里最重要的神是安加拉坎神(Angarakan),也就是火星。他们会给我们Archanai牌和红布,这样我们就可以做Archanai。寺庙里还有大象,它会来保佑我们所有人。
这里有一些非常特别之处。
1.湿婆神被尊奉为“vaidyanathar”或“vaitheeswaran”,意为“医神”,源于“vaidya”(医生)和“ishavara”(神)。
2.这座寺庙以棕榈叶占星术(又称“纳迪占星术”)和悉达多水池(siddhamirtham tank)而闻名,据信水池中的水具有治疗功效。
3.传说湿婆神曾以医生的身份出现于此,治愈了一位名叫安加拉哈(angaraha)的信徒的麻风病。
4.周围的圣殿供奉着subramanya swamy、nataraja、somaskanda、Angarakan的金属雕像,以及各种神灵的石雕。
5.泰亚纳亚基神社(thaiyalnayaki shrine)也被认为可以治愈疾病。
6.为儿童举行剃度仪式、在米糕(maavilaku)上点灯、在寺庙水池附近的锅前放盐和胡椒粉等仪式都很常见。
还有 thiruchandu urundai,它具有药用价值。
