Nayanar was born in Keezh Thanjavur. He
was a passionate and a disciplined devotee of Lord Sri Moolanathar with his
consort Goddess Sri Akilandeswari. He
was practiced a strict method of worship of Lord and used untainted materials
for the worship of Supreme Lord.
Once, King Kazharsingar
along with his Queen made a visit to the temple of Lord Tyagaraja at Thiruvarur
with their escorts. The King was transcended to the world of ecstasy after
visualizing the mesmerizing beauty of Lord. In the meantime, Queen was
gracefully moving through the circumambulatory paths observing the enthralling
beauty of the environment. At one moment, her eyes get caught of a beautiful
hall and its dais. At the center of the hall there was heaps of alluring fresh
flowers of various fragrances which was kept for making garlands out of it for
the worship of Lord. Instantly, a gorgeous flower fallen down from the dais
which was picked by the Queen and smelt it.
Thiru Cheruthunai Nayanar was
happened to observe the Queen’s movement.
He was totally annoyed by her act; he had strict disciplined manners in
the worship of Lord and purity of materials used for the worship of Supreme
Lord. It was most frustrating moment for him, he rushed off his feet and cut
down her nose for the sin she had committed. The queen was traumatized at the
behavior of Thiru Cheruthunaiyar and withered in pain. Soon, King Kazharsingar
joined at the spot, he was utterly shocked to see his dearest wife shivering
and screaming out of pain. Thiru Cheruthinaiyar explained the state of affairs
to the King Kazharsingar. The King scrutinized the situation and declared that
the punishment for polluting the flower which was kept for offering to Lord was
the severe sin committed and the verdict followed to chop her hands down for
picking the flower kept for the worship. At once, there were flowers trickled
from the sky appreciating the uprightness of King Kazharsingar and Thiru
Cheruthunai Nayanar.
In the Tamil
month Avani – Poosam is widely celebrated as Guru Puja Day of Thiru Cheruthunai
Nayanar, the day he attained the Abode of Lord Shiva.
Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
