Parthasarathy Temple in Triplicane,Chennai is sung by the Alwars thousands of years ago. Its no wonder that recently Swami Vivekananda and Bharathiyar were attracted and guided by Parthasarathy, just as how he guided Arjuna to victory.Swami Vivekananda mentions this in his letter saying that Parthasarathy is not only the sarathy for Arjuna but for all Indians to do the work ahead which Swami Vivekananda started and sought blessings for.
I wonder if there is any other temple to where Swami Vivekananda asked his friends (when he was in America) to visit and pray. Many might know that Swami Vivekananda wrote asking his friend to go and fall at Parthasarathy.
Similarly National poet Bharathiyar also spent his last days in Triplicane visiting Parthasarathy temple.
The Indian and Tamil film industry is yet to pay a real honour and respect to these youths. A film of the kind of Veerapandya Kattabomman is needed.

is it true Swami vivekanda wrote letters to parthasarathy Perumal of triplicane. Smt Vishaka Hari told in her discourse yesterday that parthasarathy temple is preserving those letters which he wrote from chicago, US.
ReplyDeleteThe letter was written to Alasinga Perumal which can be found in the temple wall opposite to Yoga Narashimmar Sannidhi. I visited the temple last week..
