The illicit representation of Hindu structures by such concocted and primitive scientists divulge the cunning ploy of denying existence of Vedic gods as the Supreme Beings and labeling them as lords or common alien beings. Whenever western scientists, archaeologists were unable to decipher divine structures of Hindu temples they conveniently blanketed it as alien technology to save their faces from the embarrassment and logical explanation. Though the construction is not mystery for Hindus (native Indians), it is indeed mysterious for westerners due to their myopic and biased assessment of Vedic structures, that’s the reason why they wrongly connote this great structure as mysterious and an alien establishment. Bhagwan Shiv Mandir, Thanjavur or famously corrupted by english as the Tanjore big temple is one of the most mysterious dharmic structure around. There are many places, structures and ancient establishments developed with Vedic engineering that are considered mysterious as it is seen with the paradigm of vested western mindset. Hindu RajaRaja Chola was proponent of fresh environment and cared for nature, to let divine opulence flow through Tanjore and other nearby cities developed by him and his heirs. Several hundreds of years ago Tanjore was initially developed and maintained by Chola dynasty (சோழர்) with rigorous hardwork and for selfless bhakti, love towards Bhagwan Shiv. That is the main reason that Tanjore is lush green, lavishly spread with good water facilities and palm forests. Locals say that the city gets its name from ‘Than-sei-oor’, which means a place surrounded by rivers and green paddy fields. The city is believed to have been named after an asur (demon) Rakshas Tanjan who was annihilated by Bhagwan Vishnu. The Tanjore (Thanjavur) City and Temple is not Built by Aliens But Tamil Hindus Who Respect their Gods Such highly developed, flawless and perfect is the Vedic building technology used by Hindu King RajaRaja Chola and his Hindu engineers that in comparison it portrays our present construction technology as primitive and farce. We call ourselves modern and technologically advanced but even today – No 200+ feet structure in this world is built without binding materials, cements or blocks. So the priest told us to think only positive and good things as whatever you thinks is believed will come true.Įnjoy the temple and get the blessings of Guru Baghawan.Bhagwan Shiv Shankar’s Tanjore Temple was built over 1000 years ago fully with Granite stones, that too when there was no stone available in the nearby locations. It is huge a 216 feet hollow structure which has withstood all weak or violent disturbances of nature – winds, rainfalls, storms – when the Great Tanjore Temple is built of interlocking stones without any binding material. The faith is praying to this Guru will help rewrite ones fate. The yellow pushparaga stone on Guru is large and very attractive. The Guru Sannathi is outside to the left of the main Garbhagraha. The stones are very cold and can condense water from air through the narrow passage downward and water drips every few minutes to hours on the Linga depending on the moisture in the air. The temple houses two stones called Chandrakanta stone and Suryakanta stone. The main shrine hosts the beautiful Vashishteshwarar and the faith is this Guru Vashistar prayed to this Linga for the sake of humanity. The temple ambal in the temple is so beautiful and the navagrahas are placed on the ceiling outside the ambal shrine. You can complete few other navagraha Temples on way from kumbakonam. Went to this temple on a Monday when the crowd was minimal or almost absent. This is the only place where you can see Guru Bhagavan who is the Raja Guru, in standing posture with 4 hands holding his weapons and a book. But for a small hole, there is no source of water or anything, on the Vimana of the main deity. A unique feature of this temple is a drop of water falls on the Lingam (Main Deity) exactly every twenty four minutes (1 Naazhigai) from the roof. There was a Shiva Lingam in the location and became a temple. After looking for a safe place, they found Thittai, which did not drown in during Pralayam. During pralayam cross the world, Brahma & Vishnu worshipped the Lord Shiva for protection. Route : The temple is located 11 kms from Thanjavur, enroute to Kumbakonam. Parking : Paid parking for lot of cars in big ground and by the temple available. Deity : Vasisteshwaran / SwayambootheswararĪbout : This is one of the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams.
