👑 The Legend of Vijayasana Perumal
The Moolavar’s name, Vijayasana Perumal (The Lord Seated Victoriously), is derived from a key spiritual event that occurred here:
• The Aasana Mantra: A devoted Brahmin performed intense penance at Varagunamangai, focusing on chanting the “Aasana Mantra” (a sacred posture/seating mantra).
• Granting Moksham: Pleased with the Brahmin’s sincerity, the Almighty granted him His Darshan and bestowed Mukthi/Moksham (final liberation) upon him. Because the Brahmin achieved salvation through the Aasana Mantra, the Lord here is worshipped as the Vijayasana Perumal.
🐍 Unique Posture of Protection
The Lord’s posture is significant in conveying His protective and granting nature:
• Sitting with Adiseshan: Sri Vijayasana Perumal blesses devotees in a majestic Sitting Posture, with Adiseshan serving as His ceremonial and protective Hood.
• Missing Separate Thayar Sannadhi: A unique architectural feature of this temple is that there is no separate sanctum (sannidhi) for the consort, Varagunavalli Nachiyar.
🌙 Chandra Kshetram (Moon’s Remedial Site)
• Planetary Significance: This Divyadesam is dedicated as the primary Parihara Sthalam (remedial site) for the planet Chandra (The Moon). Worshipping here is believed to alleviate any negative effects or Dhoshams associated with the Moon in one’s astrological chart.
🎣 The Fisherman’s Moksham
The sacredness of the temple’s Pushkarini (Deva Pushkarini) is highlighted by a miraculous event:
• Instant Salvation: A fisherman who cast his net in the Theertham was fatally bitten by a snake but instantly attained Moksham (salvation), reaching the abode of the Lord.
• Sage Romasa’s Narration: Sage Romasa explained to his son that the fisherman’s sincere performance of his duties in this life, despite his previous life’s harsh deeds as a king, purified him sufficiently to attain the Lord’s feet upon his sudden death here. This incident affirms the extraordinary sanctity of the land and the Theertham.
🤲 Nammalwar’s Triple Darshan
Nammalwar, in his pasurams, links the three forms of the Lord granting Moksham in close proximity:
• Standing Lord: (Srivaikundam)
• Sleeping Lord: (Thiruppulingudi)
• Sitting Lord: (Thiruvaragunamangai)
This temple is a profound site for those seeking spiritual victory, relief from lunar afflictions, and the ultimate blessing of liberation.
