About navagragha temples

Navagrahas are the nine cosmic objects that are said to have a great effect on the human lives. The Navagrahas include Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Buddha, Brihaspati, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu. While the Sun is a star, Mangal, Budha, Brihaspati, Shukra and Shani are planets of the solar system. Chandra is the moon and Rahu and Ketu are the north and south nodes of the moon. When a child is born, the exact time is noted. According to the time given, the exact positions of the Navagrahas are calculated. These calculations help in preparing the birth chart of the child. It is believed that each major event, happiness, illnesses, sorrows and even the time of death can be predicted by the astrologers using the birth chart. This birth chart is consulted at the time of cross points in life. The birth chart helps in choosing the right path. There are households that take to consulting the birth chart for every major decision or when a life-changing question arises. Marriage matches, career choices, muhurats for weddings, griha pravesh and more often are done only with the help of a birth chart. The birth chart may not always give positive readings. They may also point out impending disasters. This is often due to the malicious positions of the Navagrahas. At certain times, the rival planets may occupy incompatible positions in the birth chart. When such a problem arises, it is important to perform remedial rituals to appease the Navagrahas.

Reason for worshipping navagraghas

The Hindu Religion teaches us that the Soul doesn't die and they Soul takes multiple birth, so as to purify itself to attain moksha. That is, the Life is a continuous process and there exists a connection between every birth. When a child is born in this world, its fate is decided by its own deeds and acts in the previous life. That is, the Child would have born somewhere else in the previous birth. During its lifetime, he or she would done many good things and would have done bad things too. The Good things or Virtues would turn into Yogas and the bad things or sins would turn into doshas in the horoscope of the child in the present lifetime. That is, the Child would be rewarded for its virtues in the form of good parents, good physical health & mental health, good wealth, good education and peaceful married life; and so on. The Child would be troubled by its sins (that it had committed under the previous birth) by way of facing troubles in various forms during its lifetime. That is, no one can escape from the destiny that has been invited by themselves by their own deeds. If you have committed the following sins in your previous life, you are bound to face the same kind of agony and sufferings that you had inflicted upon others in the previous life.

  • 1. Killing/Torturing/Maiming any living creatures for your own pleasures.
  • 2. Stealing or Thefts
  • 3. Criminal Tendencies
  • 4. Modesty of a Woman
  • 5. Spreading Falsehood

Chandran, Thingaloor

Chandran

Chandran is also hailed as Thingal and his abode is Thingalur. it is here that Chandran prayed to Lord Siva and got his blessings. As Chandran is held in the locks of Lord Siva, all devotees who worship Easwaran have also to worship this planet. The Devas and asuras were churning the paarkadal using Mandira Malai and the snake Vasuki. The asuras held the head portion of the snake and the devas, the tail portion. The poison emitted by Vasuki was consumed by Lord Siva to save the devas, but the toxicity of venom affected the Devas who swooned on its impact. Alongwith the nectar (amirtham), Chandran emerged and it was he who revived the Devas.

Guru, Alangudi

Legend has it that Alangudi is the place where Lord Shiva consumed the deadly poison as emitted during the churning of the paarkadal (Sea of milk). Hence the place is known as Alangudi, which literally mean the place where Lord Shiva consumed the deadly poison. The Devas, when churning the paarkadal for nectar, were hindered by the poisonous fumes from the snake Vasuki and prayed to Lord Siva for deliverance. Lord Siva consumed the deadly poison (Ala Visham) , thus giving rise to the name Alangudi to this sthalam and the Lord was known as Aabathsagayeshwarar (One who defends from the danger). Devas also had a horrid time by Gajamuha suran and Lord Ganesha subdued Gajamuhasuran, and hence Lord Ganesha is worshipped in this sthalam as Kalangaamal kaatha Vinayaga and others.

Kedhu, Keezhaperumballam

Abishega timing

According to the story, when amirtham emerged after churning of the Paarkadal by the devas and the asuras, Lord Vishnu in the guise of Mohini was distributing the amirtham only to the devas. Realising this, Rahu (an asura) with the help of Sukrachariyar, took the form of a deva and consumed the nectar. This was informed to Mohini by the sun and moon. Mohini was keeping a long spoon in her hand and she hit the Asuras head heavily. The Asuras head and the body were separated. But because he had consumed amirtham, his head and body continued to live. The body of the snake got attached to the head to become Ketu.
