Sri Rajagopala Swamy at Rajamannargudi of Thiruvarur District
Rajagopala Swamy is one of my favourite form of the Almighty. I have never heard of this place in my life before I made a visit to Mannargudi 2 years back. Thanks to Jaya TV for showcasting a program on the temple.
Location:
Mannargudi is 34 Kms away from Thanjavur; 37 kms away from Kumbakonam and around 40 kms away from Thiruvarur.
The place is well connected by buses and there are lot of buses from Thannjavur to Mannargudi.
Temple Deities:
Moolavar: Sri Paravasudeva Perumal with Sri & Bhu Devi Thaayars
Utsavar : Sri Vidya Rajagopala Swamy with Rukmani, Sathyabama
Thaayar: Sri Senbagavalli Thaayar, Hemabhuja Nayaki, Sengamala Thaayar
One requires 1000 eyes to enjoy the beauty of the Moolavar and Utsavar of this temple. You will start feeling him the moment you start seeing him. He is so Beautiful and gives darshan as a child. He is seen with Cows and he gives darshan as the Cow Herd with the bow on his hand.
One should agree that he is most beautiful and handsome Archa form of Maha Vishnu and is not seen anywhere in this Universe. I can't think of anything while I am infront of Sri Vidya Rajagopalan. It would require a complete day to describe his beauty, I would prefer to have a seperate posting for explaining his beauty.
There are sannathi's for Andal, Alwars & Acharyars, Sri Kodanda Rama Sannathi is seen inside the prakaram. Ramar Padham is also found behind the Moolavar Sannathi in the Prakaram. There are seperate sannathis for Koorathalwan, Sri Ramanujar and Vedantha Desikar. Every one should appreciate that there is no difference between Thengalai and Vadagalai Sampradhayam. My first visit was Desikacharyar's Avathara Utsavam. It was celebrated with no discretion. He is also an important person during the adhyayana Utsavam.
