Power of Rama Nama to safeguard from Sani (Saturn)

[Lord Hanuman]

Power of Rama Nama to safeguard from Sani (Saturn)

The power of Rama Nama (the name of the Lord Rama) is so enormous and that even the planets do not try to affect the devotees who chant His name. While clicking the webpages of Divyadesamonline, there was the Sthala Puranam of a temple of Lord Anjaneya near Ambur in Vellore district. Here is the description of the temple from DivyadesamOnline site.

Let us pray Hanuman for His blessings for the welfare of our family and world.

Sri Narasimha Temples in Chennai

Sri Narasimha Temples in Chennai

Narasimha Avatar is more unique than any other incarnation of Lord Vishnu. In all other incarnations, the Lord was born on the Earth. He was amidst the worldly people and helped them out of their sufferings. But in Narasimha Avatar, it was all just in a fraction of the second, the Lord came down, rescued His devotee and then disappeared. Everything was instaneaus. This is what is called as kadigai in Sanskrit, which means 'fraction of time'.

There are a lot of Sri Narasimha temples. We would here introduce you to a few Sri Narasimha temples within Chennai.

  1. Singaperumal Temple (Padalatri Narasimhar)
  2. Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Navaneetha Krishnan Temple, Nanganallur
  3. Sri Yoga Narasimha Temple, Velacherry
  4. Sri Azhagiya Singar, Tiruvallikeni

Pankuni Uthiram Tomorrow

Pankuni Uthiram Tomorrow

The most sacred Pankuni Uthiram is observed tomorrow (April 11, 2006). It is observed as a sacred day when Lordess Mahalakshmi incarnated. She is seated in the same Asanam as Her Lord Ranganatha at Srirangam temple.

Sri Ramanuja was greatly blessed by the Divya Thampathi on this day at Sri Rangam.  Also, Valmiki Ramayan celebrates Pankuni Uthiram as the day of wedding of Sita with Rama. Brahmananda Puranam celebrates Pankuni Uthiram as the day when every drop of water joins Thumburu Theertha (one of the seven sacred tanks in Tirumala Tirupathi)

Besides this, Pankuni Uthiram is also sacred for many other Siva and Ayyappa temples also.
