This week’s visit was to Srimath Chidambara Periya Swamigal Jeeva Samadhi at
Velachery on 02-06-2013. There are a lot of Jeeva Samadhis in Chennai.
Srimath Chidambara Periya Swamigal Jeeva Samadhi is between the western side
IIT Gate and Gandhi Road. The entrance is from the west, and the Jeeva Samadhi is
facing east.
Some of the important
features of Srimath Chidambara Periya Swamigal Jeeva Samadhi are as follows.
Srimath Chidambara Periya Swamigal is from the village Ariyambakkam near Trichy. Born to
Muniyappan and Periyanayagi.
About 200 years
before, he was instrumental in the reconstruction
of Dhandeeswaram Shiva Temple as per the order
of Sri Karunambigai in the form of a old lady.
Srimath Chidambara Periya Swamigal had done many miracles in his lifetime.
During construction,
for the daily wage, the vibhuti turned into money for the workers.
Swamiji visited the regular house for food, where the lady had lied that the food was
not ready. When she opened the pot to feed her children, she found
the pot was empty. When Swamiji told her to open it once again, she found
the pot was full of food.
Swamiji also cured
the stomach pain of Arcot Nawab.
The original Samadhi
was built with a stone structure, and later small sannadis were added around the Jeeva Samadhi. There are two more jeeva samadhis for his disciples Lakshmi Ammal and Ambalavana Swamigal.
In The prakaram
sannadhi for Panchamuga Sarveswarar with Thayar Yogeswari, Sri
Kamakshi Amman, Dakshinamurthy, Pranava moorthy Vinayagar (Shiva, Vishnu and
Brahma), Anjenear, Naalvar, Kubera Perumal, Siddhas,

The Rajagopuram was
built in 2010.
There is also another
Srimath Chidambara Periya Swamigal siddhar peedam with Vinayagar temple on
the 100-foot bypass road near Sangeetha Hotel.
Swamiji attained
samadhi on 14-12-1858, which was confirmed by the then British Doctors. Guru
pooja is celebrated on this day every year.
Swamiji’s moola
manthiram is, “See the Shiva roopam which is beyond thinking". Regular annadham is served on Pournami and Thursdays. The temple is being
managed by Mr. C. S. Selvamani, one of Swamiji's disciples.
