Sri Thyagaraja Swamy Temple, Sri Pattinathar Jeeva Samadhi & Sri Veeraraghava Swami Jeeva Samadhi Thiruvotriyur, Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

08, March 2015.

During my early morning walk on this Sunday, thought of making a visit to Thiruvotriyur before completion of mandala pooja after the kumbhabhishekam. My original plan was to go by Train to Thiruvottiyur from Guindy. On the way suddenly struck to my mind that the trains  from Tambaram to Beach were cancelled due to maintenance work, which I read in the news paper a day before. So I went through bus up to Central from Guindy and from there by Train.

SRI THYAGARAJA SWAMY TEMPLE 

Had the darshan of Sri Adhipureswarar, Sri Thyagaraja, Sri Thiruvotreeswarar and Sri Vadivudai Ammbal. Last time I could not circumambulate Sri Adhipureeswarar due to maintenance works. This time I had the peaceful darshan.

After dharshan proceeded to Pattinathar temple by walk ( nearly 2 KM and while return also). After Kumbabishekam temple found very neat and clean. Still works are in full swing for laying of granite stone for the prakaram. Not much of crowd. I had the dharshan and meditated for a while.

While returning from  Pattinathar temple peeped inside a Jeeva samadhi of Sri la Sri Veeraraghava Swamigal,  who attained mukti during 1964. It is about 5 to 6 feet below the ground level.

Returned to home via Broadway and Guindy through bus. It was a tedious journey but I could not  feel much due to the blessings of Shiva and Pattinathar.
