23rd October 2017.
This temple is in between Ayodhya Mandapam and Sri
Sathyanarayana Perumal Temple, on the same street. Bhajans are in progress in
connection with Kantha Sasti, during my visit to this temple.
This ashram or the Murugan temple was established by Sri
Shankarananda Swamiji a disciple of Shantananda Swamiji of Skandasramam, Salem.
Swamiji had written a book on Thiru Kumaranadiyar Puranam in which he
narrates the sequences of incidents to
the establishment of this ashram. It was assumed that he might have been born in the
year 1924 or 1925. Till 1970 he spend his life towards the development of his
family.
He Visited daily Vadapalani
Murugan Temple and became an ardent devotee of lord Muruga. In the 1970s he
started getting dreams of constructing a Murugan temple. In the meantime, he
met Kanchi Periyava and Thirukovilur Gyannanda Swamikal. On 12-10-1971, his wife suggested constructing a Murugan Temple in the vacant space of their house without knowing
Lord Muruga instructed him in the dream. Initially, a Photo of Lord Muruga was
kept in a makeshift shed, and started prayer from 12-11-1971.
Swamiji restored about 200 old dilapidated temples with the
guidance of Lord Muruga. When his guru Gnanananda attained Samadhi, Swamiji had
seen a light entering his Guru's photo kept in the ashram. In 1984 a
murugan idol was installed and Kumbhabhishekam was performed by Sri Santhananda
Swamiji after constructing a small vimana on a hexagonal sanctum. Murugan idol
looks small kid, a mature adult, and an old man from different angles.
Swamiji entered into sainthood on 10-02-2002 as per the
instruction of Lord Muruga. At the age of 86, Swamiji constructed a
Mahatripurasundari temple at Arungundram as per the instruction of Goddess
Parvati.
Swamiji attained Samadhi on 14th January 2017 and wanted his Samadhi to be built at Arungundram. A sannidhi was also constructed with a handful of mud brought from his Arungundram Samadhi.
