வெள்ளரை கண்டீரோ திருவெள்ளரை கண்டீரோ

Thiruvellarai divya Desam
வெள்ளரை கண்டீரோ திருவெள்ளரை கண்டீரோ

Thiruvellarai divya Desam is 20 kms away from Trichy. This temple is much older to Srirangam and was built by Sibi Chakravarthy. This is a Divya desam where Bhagavat Ramanuja spent 12 years. Pundaraikakshan, the moolavar of this Divya desam  ordained Thayar to send prasadam to Udayavar and I believe that this tradition of sending Thaligai(Prasadam) offered to Thayar is sent to Udayavara Sannathi. 

 This temple is on a white rock and has 59 steps to reach the Moolavar. One has to climb 18 steps representing 18 chapters of Gita, 4 steps representing four vedas, five steps representing Panch Bhootham or elements. 8 steps representing 8 Akshar of Ashtakshar Mantram and Finally 24 steps representing 24 Aksharas of Gaythri Manthram. The temple has three entrances Uthrayana, Dakshinayana and Nazhi ketta. 

 Here is a poem on Thiruvellarai Divya desam.

    You are the living Azhwar, Swamin! Each and every Pasuram, right from the depth of your heart, with a garland of all the most fragrant flowers/ words, knitted together for the Lord Almighty,is the one to be cherished, followed and chanted as a daily Prayer for our path to the Paramapadham! Most of the times, both of us, Srinivasan Chakravarthi and myself sit and ponder in amazement at the beauty of your heart, filled with a Sea of affection towards the Lord Almighty! You are a treasure. Your simplicity stuns us, and reveal our miniscule ability to even make an effort to come beside you and watch you singing the Pasurams, with utmost dedication,that even while hearing in the YouTube, we are left with a flourishing joy of tears. You are a hugely blessed soul Swamin. May you live long with the affectionate protection of Sri Adisesha Perumal, showering blessings on your untiring efforts.
