Importance of shiva nama(சிவ நாம  மேன்மை )
STORY





                                           Once upon a time there lived a king, once he was travellling in his horse-chariot... when the chariot was speeding up, a pasu (kamadhenu, cow) came in front of it, hit by the chariot, the cow died on the spot. since the kings in the earlier times were righteous, purified, he was filled with sorrow and immediately he descended from the chariot. 
                                         Seeing the cow his heart melted, his eyes filled with tears, he felt guilty. "oh my god. ive done a sin." exclaimed the king. stopping the chariot at that place it self, he went inside the forest to meet a rishi(sage) ashram.TO search for repentance(praayashchittam for this sin) he searched. he noticed an ashram, inside he saw that there was  only rishiputra inside  the ashram, he said the sorrowful incident and asked what he can do to wash away the sin...
                                    That rishiputran tells," oh king! go to a place when 4 roads meet, cry for forgiveness loudly and tell this mantra SIVA SIVA SIVA 3 times.. then your sin will be washed away.."  HEARING this the king came towards his chariot, that time he met the rishi there... "oh king! can i know the reason for your arrival" said the rishi.   "Oh rishi! i came here to meet you only... since i had  done a sin(and described it)""i came to your ashram to meet you only, but i met you son and knew the parihaaram(solution)""your kumaaran said me the parihaaram."so i am going forward to perform it".
                         The rishi asked what the solution was.the king tells "he tells that his son said the king to tell SIVA SIVA SIVA 3 times"  THE RISHI GOT ANGRY "did that sinner tell like that!!!!,  if you recite the SIVA mantram once itself, the sins performed in your whole life will be washed away, i think my son, the rishiputra doesnt know the value of SIVA mantra" said the rishi.
The king understood the value of SIVA mantra.
               Such great is siva mantra. from this we understand that , if we place one pure(true) step towards the God, He comes 3 times faster towards us.
                                        OM NAMA SHIVAYA

Sri Ukkal Kamakshi Ambal- A goddess whose eyes open During Poornima Day(full moon)

The Holy Incident I saw with my very own eyes My Pilgrimage to Holy Kanchipuram After reaching Kanchipuram to visit some temples. We hired an AutoRikshaw to Ukkal, Cheyyur District. It is around 18 KM from where we stayed at KanchiPuram. So when we reached there we asked everyone about this Ukkal Kamakshi Amman Temple, A holy Deity with a Nose ring. But nobody in the village guided us properly , But finally we ended up at a Very Big temple which was closed. It was the Vaidhya Natha swamy temple. So when we stood there, the temple Granny who was incharge of it , came there and opened the temple for us. It was such a blissful experience. Inside the GarbhaGruha stood a tall Shiva linga( Vaidya Nathar) . It was so peaceful there. After that, when we asked her about the Ukkal Kamakshi amman temple, she didnt know about it properly. But a small boy there said us there was a temple there at a distance which had a similar description, so we thanked them and Nandi ji and left from there...
