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, I thought of making a visit to Thiruvotriyur before the completion of mandala pooja after the kumbhabhishekam. My original plan was to go by Train to Thiruvottiyur from Guindy. On the way, it suddenly struck me 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 by 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 a peaceful darshan.

After dharshan proceeded to Pattinathar temple by walk (nearly 2 km and while returning also). Afterward, the Kumbabishekam temple was found to be very neat and clean. Still, work is in full swing for the laying of granite stone for the praharam. Not much of a crowd. I had the dharshan and meditated for a while.

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