📜 Sthala Puranam: The Lord of Secured Wealth
The unique name of the Moolavar, Vaitha Maa Nidhi Perumal (The Lord who Kept the Great Treasure), stems from a famous legend involving the celestial treasurer, Kubera:
• Kubera’s Curse: Kubera, the protector of the nine Nidhis (forms of wealth), was cursed by Goddess Parvati after he cast an unwelcome glance upon her during his visit to Lord Shiva. As a result, Kubera lost one eye and his power to guard the treasures.
• The Penance: To be liberated from the curse and regain his status, Kubera came to Thirukolur and performed intense penance on the banks of the Thamirabarani River.
• The Lord’s Grace: Lord Vishnu appeared in a compassionate Sleeping Posture (Bhujanga Sayanam) and, as the ultimate custodian, took care of the nine forms of wealth that Kubera had lost. Hence, the Lord is hailed as ‘Vaitha Maa Nidhi’. The temple pond is named Kubera Theertham in his honor.
💰 Recovery of Lost Fortune
The temple’s fame for restoring wealth is cemented by another story:
• Dharma Gupta’s Distress: A Brahmin named Dharma Gupta was facing severe financial distress due to the past life karma of being wealthy but arrogant and uncharitable.
• The Guru’s Advice: His Guru, Sage Bharadwaja, advised him to proceed to Thirukolur and worship Vaitha Maa Nidhi Perumal with penance.
• The Result: Dharma Gupta followed the advice and recovered his lost fortune and prosperity.
• Belief: A visit to this temple is strongly believed to help devotees overcome financial distress and regain lost wealth, position, and status. The Lord, who helped Kubera and Dharma Gupta, is considered the ultimate benefactor in times of loss.
🧘 Birthplace of Madhurakavi Azhwar
Thirukolur is the birthplace of Madhurakavi Azhwar, one of the 12 Azhwars.
• Guru Bhakti: Madhurakavi Azhwar is unique among the Azhwars as he never composed hymns (pasurams) on the Almighty directly. All his eleven compositions (Kanni Nun Siruthambu) were exclusively in praise of his revered Guru, Nammalwar (who was born nearby in Azhwar Thirunagari). This demonstrates the ultimate principle of Guru Bhakti (devotion to the Guru).
Thirukolur is an essential destination for those seeking remedial measures for Sevvaai (Mars) Dosham and the divine blessing of having their material and spiritual wealth secured by the Lord Himself.
