http://www.periyaanjaneyartemple.org/

From Vellore, a travel towards bangalore highway, less than one hour Journey place called Ambur an ancient Powerful Anjaneyar Temple is located. The History of the Temple is.. 

Indian mythology has an interesting story linking Lord Saneeswara (Planet Saturn) and Lord Hanuman, the staunch devotee of Lord Rama. The science of astrology says that the position of Saturn in an individual’s horoscope is believed to have great effects on one’s life, though temporarily. But many experts say that Sani (Saturn) is not a malefic planet, contrary to the common belief, as He is believed to bring both good and bad to a person, depending on various conditions like the positions of other planets in one’s horoscope.

According to mythology, Saneeswara got trapped by Hanuman once when the latter was on the hunt for the life-saving sanjeevani herb to revive Lakshmana who was grievously hit by deadly weaponry from Indrajith, son of the demon kind Ravana, in the war. Earlier, Ravana had taken away Sita from Rama to his native kingdom in Sri Lanka.  And Rama and his brother Lakshmana were at war with Ravana. It was under this circumstance that Hanuman set out to get the herb. Ravana’s rajguru Sukracharya came to know about this and wanted to prevent Hanuman from getting the herb since once Lakshmana was revived, he would eliminate the demon race. He advised Ravana to release Saneeswara who was under the control of the demon (all the nine planets were also under the control of Ravana then) to go and stop Hanuman. When Saneeswara approached Hanuman who was returning from the Himalayas carrying the hills which contained the required herb to revive Lakshmana, and tried to catch him, the clever Hanuman caught hold of him unawares and put him under his feet instead.  The wailing Saneeswara had no option except to accept the conditions of Hanuman – that Saneewara should not harm those who worshipped Lord Rama as well as him.

The story has been glorified in a temple in Ambur in Vellore district which dates back to centuries.  The 11-foot idol of Hanuman carved out of hard black stone has Saneeswara under his foot.  The idol and the temple are believed to have been renovated probably in 1489, during the period of Krishanadevaraya of Vijayanagar kingdom who then ruled this region.  An inscription found in one corner of the temple testifies to this fact.  In 1976, the temple was taken over by the HR & CE department of the State Government. In 1987, Maha Kumbabishekam was performed.

Interestingly, the main deity Hanuman is place in one corner of the sanctum sanctorum facing south.  This is considered a rarity in India.  It is believed that, because devotees lit oil lamps at this temple, it got rid of the harmful effects of Saneeswara, in one stroke.  The temple has been drawing thousands of devotees steadily.  According to the priest Sharma, if the coconut that is placed for pooja in this temple is taken home and worshiped, it is believed to fulfill one’s wishes.  In the eastern corner of Ambur town, in a place called Anaimadugu, a rocky foot print, believed to be that of Hanuman, receives special poojas once a year during the Hanuman Jayanthi celebrations.  It is said that Hanuman holding the Parvatha hills in one hand and standing on Saneeswara made a big leap from here to cross the Indian Ocean to reach Sri Lanka where he gave the herb to revive Lakshmana.

Sri Lakshmi Narasimhar Temple at Singiri Koil , Vellore

Singiri Koil is a small town, situated at a distance of about 25 km from Vellore and is off the main road from Vellore to Polur. It is an exclusive shrine for Lord Lakshmi Narasimha and is believed to be at least 1,000 years old.

This 10th century shrine is said to have been built by the local chieftain, Rajavarman, at the behest of Lord Narasimha, who appeared in his dream. The temple is not one of the 108 divya desas, neither is it one of the `abhimaana sthalas.' It is not included in the 108 kshetras visited by Ramanuja either. Yet it has been visited by millions of devotees. The temple is on a small hillock, which is nearly 80 to 90 feet high and can be reached after climbing about 50 steps.The main idols in the sanctum sanctorum is that of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha. The Lord is seen in a sitting posture with four hands — two hands hold the conch and the discus, His third (left) hand is on his lap and fourth (right) hand is around the waist of Goddess Lakshmi. The image of the Lord is nearly six feet in height.

The Lord with Goddess Lakshmi seated on his right lap is a unique spectacle. This inimitable posture of the Lord and the Goddess is the main attraction of the Temple. Thirumanjanam is performed on every Swathi Nakshatram, which is the birth star of Narasimha.

There is a separate shrine for Sri Lord Anjaneya, who is known here as Sri Bala Anjaneya. The idol is one foot high. Bala Anjaneya, who appears like a small child is believed to bestow the boon of parenthood on the childless. The temple also has a separate shrine for Sri Garuda.

Relax ..... A Woman Knows.. Poem

A Woman Knows...

A woman dreams ... with her heart, dreams of passion,

 beauty and peace on earth.

A woman cries ... tears when she's wounded...replaced with
smiles when she knows she will heal soon.

  A woman loves ... with her soul, deep and true ... with all that
she knows.....

  A woman tries ... through every wrong, ... forgives past sins
and finds the strength to move on.

  A woman gives ... everything inside her ... she does not hold
back because of the fears that remind her ... she could be hurt,
be taken in, ... a woman protects herself with the love that lies
within.....

  Only a woman knows the secret truths that hide beneath the
surface of her warmth and kindness.

Only a woman knows the tender touch that can heal all
wrongs and relieve all fears.

  Only a woman can give her all and have love left to give when
the giving is done.

  Only a woman ... with a woman's heart ... can understand and
accept ... the many pains she will encounter.

  Only a woman ... with a woman's heart ... can possibly know
the strength of her heart.....
  
A woman knows ... if all she owns was taken ... there are
parts of her, the best of her ... that nothing on earth can ever
take away ... the woman's heart, the woman's depths.

Only a woman knows ... it's the love within that makes her who
she is, and love without pain could be a love that is dead.
