Shree Yoga Gnana Dhakshanamoorthy Peetam

History

Venkatrama Sivacharya, who has lived in Thiruvallur Kakkalur for many years, has been

worshiping the Dachshinamoorthy Moolamandra daily with great devotion to Lord Shiva.

One day an old Sadhu came to him, knowing that Venkatramashivacharya was an ardent devotee

of Dachshinamoorthy. He said that he had come and told him about the town of Kakkalur and

the Ramayana period. On hearing this, Venkatrama Shivacharya was delighted and asked to pay

homage to him and tell him the history of the period. This Kakasuran is the friend of Ravana.

During the Ramayana war, Nagasthiram fell on Rama and lakshmana. When they were

unconscious, Hanuman was told to take the Sanjeevi herb to cure them. Hanuman immediately

left to save Rama and lakshmana. Knowing this, Kakasuran, a friend of Ravana, knew that

Hanuman was a Shiva devotee. For delaying the arrival of Hanuman with Sanjiva mountain,

Kakasuran dedicated several Shiva lingas on his way. When Hanuman saw the Shiva lingas on

the way, the devotee of Lord Shiva began to worship the Lord Shiva without even realizing the

importance of the Sanjeeva mountain. Lord Shiva then realized the danger and took up the

incarnation of Dachshinamoorthy and made Hanuman to realize the delay. He immediately

instructed Hanuman to take the Sanjeeva mountain to save Rama and lakshmana. So the Sadhu

ordered the establishment of the GuruDachshinamoorthy temple in Kakkalur, which is of

historical importance. Since the northern part is part of the Kuberan, those who come to this

shrine are relieved of all the difficulties caused by the Guru. Since Lord Saneeswara is placed in

a straight line facing Lord Guru, the fury of Lord Saneeswara is reduced and Abhayashastra is

shown here as a sage. Worshipers who come here will be relieved of the suffering caused by

Saturn like Saturn, Ashtama Saturn, Ardashtama Saturn, Kanta Saturn, Viraya Saturn. Also the

Sadhu said that the worshipers will get all the good things in life. Proud of hearing this,

Venkatrama Shivacharya considered the Sadhu as a commandment of Lord Shiva to take the life

of the people and make it a Veda Shiva sacred ritual.

Note: It is noteworthy that there is nowhere else in the world like this temple, where the Lord

Guru and Lord Saneeswara are directly opposite. Moreover, the history of the temple is

confirmed by the fact that some lingams were found beneath the earth after the construction of

the temple.
