SRI GURULINGA SWAMIGAL 127 GURU PUJA 08/12/14


 127 GURU PUJA 08/12/14
Life History of Mahan Sri Gurulinga Swamigal


Swamigal came from Virudhachalam. On the way from Virudhachalam He toured all over South India visited many SHIVA temples and performed many miracles

Finally He visited (KARANEESVARAM) ancient and very famous Shiva temple. Drawn towards the magnificent deity, He wanted to attain JEEVA SAMADHI inside the temple.

The priest took the saint to the temple ,the saint pointed one particular place in the temple street. He asked the priest to make all the arrangements for HIS JEEVA SAMADHI. He told him he would attain JEEVA ANGA SAMADHI on the 4th somavaaram of karthigai month(December 1887) at 12:00 am. So he made all the arrangements.

But the temple priest wouldn't give him permission, so the saint silently made his way in to the river side and sat in deep trance. Soon the temple priest fell very sick with dysentry. Soon he remembered about the saint and he approached him, fell in to his knees and asked for forgiving; the saint opened his eyes and he sprinkled VIBUTHI in to the KAMANDALAM water, and he asked him to drink the water. As soon as he drank the water, he got cured.
Swamigal’s contemporary was Arut Prakasa Vallalar and their relationship being very deep.

128 years have passed in a wink of an eye. In the jeeva samadhi shrine, Swami’s blooming smile reminds us of the fact that time and death are non-existent. It is only for us to have a darshan of Him and meditate in His shrine regularly, so that our karmas drop like dead leaves, our hearts become light and our beings become pure and blissful by His compassion and sheer grace.

On the 'auspicious day' as already predicted, the saint went around the town in a long march, Blessed all the people, ANNADHAANAM was given. Exactly at 12 am the saint Blessed the devotees, Prayed to the God entered in to His SAMADHI,the devotees closed the lid and installed the Shiva lingam on the Top of the SAMADHI.
