Subrahmanya Swami Temple Thazhakara |
The Sree Subramanya Swami Temple, Thazhakkara
and the diety “Shadadhara Parathishta”
of Lord Murugan has a historical presence of over 1000 years. Lord
Murugan, assuming a human form representing a diety, holding a spig
of paddy and Fire (Torch) showers blessings on his devotees. The Lord
carrying spig of paddy is interpreted as the custodian of wealth.
The Lord is a great protector of his devotees and healer of physical
and mental ailments. He protects each and every part of the body of
his devotees and even the powerful Navagrahas would be passive because
of his grace. He Himself is said to have told Naradan, "Those
who have sought refuge in Me have no fear, they won't be left with
any needs; those who are devoted to Me have no enemies, they have
no diseases...". |
