HISTORY AND
INSCRIPTIONS
This
Jeeva Samadhi with Prasanna Vinayagar Sannidhi was established by Former Honorary
Magistrate Thavathiru Desikanandha Swamigal with funds received from many
donors.
The
Temple was functioning as a madam during Andhu Swamigal’s period.
He
was born to a Hindu father and mother after they prayed in Anthoniyar Church of
Perambur. Since Swamigal was born after praying at Anthoniyar Church, named as
Anthony. During a young age, he used
to go to school with vibhuti on his forehead. People used to surprise to a boy
with Christian Name and wearing Hindu religion symbol. He was not interested in
the material life. While his two younger brothers are studying well, he was in
search of Gnanam. Then he was sent Singapore ( Sri Lanka..?) to work in Tea
plantation. He was sent back to India after he falls in to sick. After
returning to India there was a change in his life style and behaved like Gnanpithu
which was mistakenly understood as lunatic by others. The Former Honorary
Magistrate Thavathiru Desikanandha Swamigal ( latter he had become the disciple
of Andhu Swamigal ), identified him correctly and made Swamigal to stay in the
Prasanna Vinayagar Temple it self. Swamigal attained Jeeva Samadhi in 1931
around 4 o’ clock. Swamigal’s Pavala Vizha ( 75 years ) was celebrated in 2006. It is said that Swamigal had done many
miracles during his life time and even after attaining jeeva Samadhi.
