Thiruppulingudi Divyadesam - Sri Kaasina Vendhan Temple - Budhan Dhosha Parihara Sthalam
Once Bhoomidevi Nachiyar felt that the Almighty was very fond to Sridevi as He was spending more time with her. Angered at being left out alone, Bhoodevi hid herself in the paadhalalogam causing draught and darkness everywhere. Reasoning out that she was as dear as Sridevi, Lord Vishnu brought her back from the Nether World and gave darshan here at Pulingudi. As he brought back Bhoo devi here, the Almighty is being worshipped as ‘Bhoomi Paalar’. The uniqueness of this temple is that Adiseshan and Lord Brahma idols were made out of a single stone. Nachiyars are blessing in Her Gigantic postures here in Thirupulingudi. There is no practice of offering "Sataari" here.
Once when Ramujar was going to Thirukurugoor to meet Nammalwar, he crossed this place. He was no idea about the direction and the distance to tThirukurugoor. He saw one girl and asked her about the details to reach Thirukurugoor. By seeing the Sree Vaishnava Saint, the girl bowed to Ramanujar and recited some pasurams of Nammalwar and also told him that from ther Thirukurugoor is in a earshot distnace. By seeing a small girl reciting Nammalwar's Pasurams, Ramanujar fell at her feet as he thought that the Almighty Himself came as a girl to show the place of Nammalwar. |
