Introduction

Mayiladuthurai District, Mayiladuthurai Circle, Mangudi Shiva Temple. According to Hindu cosmology, the seven worlds are divided into three parts: earth, heaven, and hell. “The world” we live in is. Legend has it that above this is the sky and below is the underworld. We distinguish these three as trinities and triangles. ‘The first is the globular world known as the globe’. This is the world we see with our eyes. It is in this world that we experience and react to our acne body and fulfill the desires and duties of life. ‘Second is the underworld’. Nagalokam is because the Nagas live in it. Also the relations of the Nagas such as Asuras, Danas, Thais and Iyakars also live in the underworld. ‘The third world is the world of reason’. This is the Shivalokam, the world of radiant grace. This is the highest world.This is the abode of Lord Shiva and other deities like Ganesha and Murugan who help Lord Shiva.In this place the most spiritually advanced souls reside in their luminous spiritual body.Although we can worship deities anywhere, it is best to worship at the temple.This is because the temple has been made the best divine place where the three worlds meet together. When we are awake we do not see or feel the inner worlds. the Lord and closer to the God we worship in faith. Thus the Triune God can be worshiped on this earth. Where? How? “THIRUMANGALAM, MANGUDI – POIGAIKUDI” The three temples are located in a triangular pattern in the Mayiladuthurai district, 11 km west of Mayiladuthurai. ‘Mayiladuthurai – Cholampet – Ponnur – ThirumangalamMangudi – Poigaikudi. • Thirumangalam on the first Kala Pooja on Mahashivarathri. At the Sripoologanathar Temple, • Second Kalapooja at MangudiSreeshivalokanathar Temple, • The third Kalapooja at this PoigaikudiSrinaganathar temple, • The worshipers of the fourth Kalapooja at the Thirumangala Shiva Temple are the ones who are showered with the benefits of worship ALL the Shiva lingams in the t world. The towers were the image of the Lord that could be inside the temple, and the towers were used as the sthula lingam and the feet of the Lord. The belief that tower worship is equivalent to complete temple worship has been around for a long time.Architecture defines the structure of temples as the shape of the human body. This is called “SethiraSarira”.The importance given to the Lord should also be given to the temple.Unfortunately, of these three Shiva temples, the MangudiShivalokanathar Temple, also known as Shivalokam, has lost its significance and is in a state of disrepair. ‘Mal’ also means the abode of ‘Thirumal’. Thiru-Mangalam is the place where the bride gave gold to make mangalyam. The marriage ceremony of the Lord at Thirumanancheri.That is why there is a sanathi for Thirumal.

Puranic Significance

The front tower was completely destroyed and disappeared. Vimanas on all four sides, was built entirely of brick. Even now it is imposing. This is the town where Thirumal stayed with his daughters. The temple also houses the Thirumal Sannathi. Ambikai sanctum facing south.Still in the sanctum are the Lord and the Goddess. In the ruined hall are another lingam. It is a widely held belief that those who help in the restoration of the Shiva temple will receive four times more Shiva blessings than those who built the temple. # “With the kind permission of Sri Kadambur K.
