| Kanive Mutturaya swamy - Lord Hanuman |
Temples
have always played a central role in Indian society. One of the most less know
fact is the temples serve as powerful energy centers. Based upon a deep
understanding of the inner energies of the human chakra system, the temples
were built in order to recharge one with energy when he or she is either
feeling low physically or any of the inner organ in the human body is not
functioning to the fullest potential and lacks the required energy to deliver
the desired results.
I
remember when I was a kid my grandparents always taught me that when I visit a
temple I should sit silently for a little while. Offering worship or prayers
are not considered paramount but, if I were to leave the temple without sitting
down for some time, the entire visit is considered fruitless…
Through Physics and Spiritualties combined it has
been proven that everything is Energy, vibrations are personalized depending on
the life form… Energy
is also viewed as being a cosmic living multi-faceted force, composed of a
wave/particle embodiment, enabling the potential for anything interacting with
it to transmit & receive information, ultimately the enablement of creating
structure and form for our universe. Vibration is energy in motion. Frequency
is the rate at which an atom vibrates at, thus higher vibration means higher
capacity for energy & information.
You
will surely observe a very high energy and vibrations especially in ancient
temples, people often have believes that that visiting some ancient shrines and
old temples fulfill their desires and grant them wishes and things fall in
place for them… could be health, wealth, good fortune etc… simply fall their
way and what you will read further is one such place is the MUTTURAYA SWAMY
TEMPLE which is less famous but carries enough powers / energy / vibration etc…
to benefit a childless couple and grant them the boon of begetting a kid.
Story related to this temple …
According
to a legend, Sita, the wife of Lord Rama, misplaced her nose ring in the
Cauvery river. She was bathing in the river and the nose ring slipped out and
fell. Sita was very attached to the nose ring and she was particular about
getting it back. Hanuman looked for the ring and could not find it. He thought
the ring might have fallen into the Cauvery and he began churning the river
from his tail, the nose ring soon re-appeared on top of the swirling waters.
Hanuman took the ring reverentially and handed it back to Sita…, the nose ring
was made of pearl, and Peral in Sanskrit is called “Muttu”, and so the name of
Lord Hanuman is “Mutturaya Swamy”.
The
local priest told this story to me and also told people who visit this temple
get their desires fulfilled and especially desires of begetting children….
There is
another story on the origin of this temple, a folk of cows used to come here to
feed, over a period of time of all the cows one of the did not yield any milk
and The cowherd investigating the cause, followed the cow and discovered the
cow feeding lord Hanuman, amazed with this incident, he shares the story with
the villagers, it is also believed that Lord hanuman did converse with the cowherd
and asked for a place to reside here permanently and then the villagers built
the temple.
Ritual followed….
Once
you reach the place the first step is to go to the temple tank “Kalyani” and take
bath, taking bath at this temple tank and drinking water from this Kalyani as
per the localities who I spoke with told has miraculous power of rejuvenating the
reproductive organs, strengthen the semen count or some kind of power which
helps the couples….
Though the power of this water is not tested at any
scientific lab … the faith that people carry works the wonders…

Post
which you can cook food (Prasadam) at the kitchen place behind the temple that
you wish to offer to the lord. You may also wish to carry the food prepared at
home and that can be directly taken along with you to the main temple of Mutturayaswamy
and offer pooja. After
the darshan and pooja do visit another small temple of Bootharaya Swamy, he was
the assistant to lord hanuman when he stayed here.
