Description
Many scholars of our country believe in the theory that all that has happened in our past, and all that will happen to us in the future is already written somewhere in the stars. We call it our fate and destiny In spite of believing in the existence of our pre-decided destinies, it is only human that we cannot get along with accepting things as they are, and be content by convincing ourselves it is what it ought to be.Rather, we do come face to face with struggle, where we question our fate and deny accepting the miseries that are put forward on the platter for our taking. Then, we wish for a way to ease our sufferings and bring about a change in our condition and performing a puja at the Brahamapureshwarar Temple promises us the same. Information about the puja: ?Many devotees believe that offering prayers at the Brahamapureshwarar temple has improved their lives and has taken away their miseries; also, it has a reputation of its own for making the impossible happen.Yes, it is believed that by the grace of Lord Shiva, those who come here and initiate the puja of Lord Brahama in the temple are blessed with shining fate and the lord re-writes their destiny because of their faith and devotion.??Legend has it that once Lord Brahama was overwhelmed by his supremacy over other Gods because of his power of creation. He was consumed by pride, this provoked Lord Shiva, who acted out by taking the fifth head of Lord Brahama and cursed him to loose his powers. Lord Brahama, on realizing his fault asked for forgiveness by performing a pooja for the Shiva Lingam under a Magizha tree, by the water from a nearby tank, which is now called Brahama teertham. After being pleased by the puja that was performed and on the insistence of Goddess Parvathy , Lord Shiva gave him back his powers of creation thereby, lifting the curse, and also blessed him saying since his own destiny has been re-written here, any devotee who comes to this temple and does his puja with faith, will also be graced with a re-written destiny.
