Now, devotees at Thingalur are
suffering because of a wrong action by the HR & CE.
Sri Kailasanathar at Thingalur is
one of the Navagraha temples and known as ‘Chandra sthalam’ ~ situated near
Thiruvaiyaru, in Thanjavur district.
Lakhs of devotees converge here on Pournami days and other important
days.
Recently the authorities, apathetic
to agama and time-honoured rituals have placed cuddapah slabs on the
circumambulatory path. These become extremely hot and devotees are suffering
not able to walk on them.
As people who regularly visit
temples recall, the temples were constructed with utmost care and concern
during the days of Kings and maintained thereafter by many ~ none dared to
changed time-honoured traditions. The
old blackstones found in all the temples were observed to become neither hot
nor cold and by nature would allow water to percolate – hence water never
stagnated, except when the temple was ill-maintained.
The changes such as placing
cuddapah, granite stones only bring hardship to the devotees; in no way help
the maintenance of the temple too.
Devotees pray to God Himself for
protection. !!
