ANJANEYAR - GULBARGA - KARNATAKA - INDIA.


anjilae ondru petraan anjilae ondrai thaavi
anjilae ondru aaraaga aariyarkkaaga aegi
anjilae ondru petra aNangai kaNdu ayalaar ooril
anjilae ondrai vaithaan avan nammai aLithu kkaappaan

He is son Vayu Bhagavan (Anjile onru petraan - vayu is one of Panjabutham).
He became the member of the Ariya family. (Sita Laksmana Bharatha Satrukna
Hanumath samathe Sri Ramachandra para brihmane Namaha). He crossed the one
of five oceans to reach Sita Devi (She is a daughter of Earth - one of the
five Panjabhutam). He put fire (one of the Panjabhutham) on Srilanka to kill
demons. You can see all five.
அஞ்சிலே ஒன்று பெற்றான், அஞ்சிலே ஒன்றைத் தாவி
அஞ்சிலே ஒன்றாராகும் ஆரியர்க்;காக ஏகி-
அஞ்சிலே ஒன்று பெற்ற அணங்கைக் கண்டு அயலார் ஊரில்
அஞ்சிலே ஒன்றைவைப்பான் அவன் நம்மையளித்துக் காப்பான் - - -கம்பர்--- பால காண்டம் .

பஞ்ச பூதங்களில் ஒன்றாகிய வாயுவின் புத்திரனாகிய ஆஞ்சநேயன், பஞ்ச பூதங்களில் ஒன்றாகிய ஆகாயத்தின் மார்க்கமாக வான்வழியே தாவிச்சென்று ரகுவம்சத்து உதித்த ஸ்ரீராமனுக்குத் தூதனாகப் புறப்பட்டு, பஞ்சபூதத்தில் இன்னொன்றான தண்ணீர்; சமுத்திரத்தைக் தாண்டி, ஸ்ரீலங்காபுரியில் இராவணனால் கௌரவமாகத் தடுப்புக்காவலில் வைக்கப்பட்டிருந்தவராகிய, பஞ்சபூதத்தில் ஒன்றான பூமிக்குள் இருந்து ஜனகமஹாராஜன் கண்டெடுத்த சீதாதேவியைச்சந்தித்து, அங்கு இராவளனின் ஆட்கள் தமது பஞ்சபூதங்களில் ஒன்றாகிய நெருப்பைப் பற்றவைத்தவுடன், அவர்கள் இட்ட தீயினாலேயே அவர்கள் நாட்டை எரித்துத் திரும்பிய வரலாற்றை எடுத்துக் கூறியுள்ளார் கம்பர்.

Mother, great mother, Who grows like a jewel with chants,
Who became the goddess Uma, Who is the consort of Lord Shiva,
Oh Mari who is very able, Oh great lady protect me.
Oh sister of Lord Krishna, Oh Jewel please do come,
Oh sister of the cow herd, the presiding Mari jewel of the king’s court,
Oh mother, Oh destroyer of ills, Oh consort of Sankara, please do come.

OLD RARE HANUMAN - - YALGUR - - BIJAPUR DISTRICT - - KARNATAKA - - INDIA.

Our Lord was in Govindaraj kere (tank bund) aka Goni kere, hidden below the temple premises of Lord Venkateshwara. After the fall of Bijapur kingdom, the priest who was performing poojas had a dream and was asked to remove the idol, install, and do abhishekam everyday from holy water of Krishna River, which was flowing nearby. The poojary tried to excavate the Idol of our guru with a chisel, broke the idol into pieces, and was worried? Lord again asked him not to worry about and informed him to put all the pieces together in a place, close the same for seven days. He asked him to open only after seven days. The priest was anxious and due to over anxiety, opened the room on the seventh day morning. Lord’s upper portion was intact, and the lower portion was still unjoined (if you have a closer look during abhishekam, you can see this). Hanuman asked the priest not to worry, install and do regular abhishekam with Krishna water everyday, and he will stay there to bless his ardent devotees. History of the place goes back to the time of Vasistha Ramayana.

The priest informed that several miracles have happened to the devotees, all prayers to HIM will be answered, you want children, excel in studies, some have got vision, made British to run from pillar to post for their misbehavior, curing illness, etc. Etc., Family God to most of the people in the area, and devotees throng and surrender to him totally. If you see him, you will not feel like coming out!!! JUST AMAZING!!! see him, pray, mediate and get blessed!!!
