Nerur!
This place had been in my to do list for a long time. Nerur, place where the Sidhhar, Swami Sadhasiva Brammendral 's Aadheenam is, is a must visit place to quench your thirst for the positive vibes. On the banks of river cauvery is this holy place surrounded by agricultural lands in all sides.
Peaceful place with a vilwa tree below which the siddhar is said to have breathed his last from his Human form.
I made it on 23rd of December 2018. I along with my cousins visited this temple around 12:45 PM.
Who is swami Sadhasiva Brammendral?
Sadhasiva Brahmendral swas born in Thiruvisanallur. He was a profound scholar. the worldy desires and family life had no attaraction for him and this made him go in quest of a guru. He found in Parmasivendra swamigal the proper guru who could guide him and he received training under him. He was so smart that he put to shame those who came to his guru by defeating them in argument and discussion. his guru remarked this attitude of his shisya and thereafter he felt ashamed & took the vow of silence. After getting the pardon from his guru he started to Uncavruthi tour in Coimbatore district.
Once when he was in deep Meditation, seated on river bed of auveri, the flood in the river swept all over the place & buried him. After the flood, months had passed but he was still intact in the sand. The king of Pudukkottai, Vijaya ragunatha thondaiman had great admiration for thei saint & followed him for 8 years and finally received his blessings.
Bramendra owing to his silence vow, wrote his instructions and mantras on sand and thus taught the tondaiman during his discipleship. Even now in Pudukkottai, the sand on which brammendral wrote is kept guarded.
Finally he reached nerur near Karur towards his last days. He knew the hour of his death and informed his disciples around him. As predicted, he attained samadhi in state of Mauna.
His Works & Compositions:
He has written many advaita works and hymns in praise of advaitha philosophy. Some of them are
Brahma sutra vruthi, Yoga surta vrutti, Advaitha rasa manjari.
Besides these, he is a musically important personality as he has composed some very moving kirtanas in praise of Krishna and other Gods. the songs are all in Sanskrit, clothes in attaractive music, simple and exalted diction.His signature is "Paramahamsa" Some of his popular compositions are
Manasa sanchara re
Bruhi mukundedi
Pibare rama rasam
Bhajare yadunatham
sarvam brammamayam
Chinta Nasthikila
Where is Nerur & How to reach the place?
This place is 30 minutes drive from Karur district of Tamilnadu. Google Map directs you cleanly to this place. It did direct us;)
How is this place?
Simple and calm. The entrance has a temple of Kasi Viswanathar and Visalakshi ambal behind which is the holy Vilwa tree and the Mahasamadhi of the swamigal. This place is calm and open till noon 1 or 1 30 PM. The temple is well maintained with all rare trees within it. There are also separate sannidhis for Vinayagar, Murugan in the temple premises.
Please visit this place sometime and get blessed by the Guru.
