THE ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF
SRI KAKANNAI ESWARAR HOLY TEMPLE
One day when i was in deep-contemplation, i perceived with infinite joy a divine-child of extraordinary beauty and radiance gazing at me while lying on my lap! Even as i was looking at it, the sheer brilliant light that emanated from the child, hindered my sight and immediately i prayed to my Guru and sought his help, where upon with his guidance i could once again see the child and was surprised to see embossed on the chest a golden-hued Linga that radiated effervescent - Light and simultaneously i perceived all the Siddhars surrounding me and the child and saying that they were very happy to note that i was caught in the Love and embrace of Lord Siva. Even now whenever i recollect the Maha Siddhar’s blessing’s the hairs on my entire body stands on end with utmost feeling of joy and gratitude!
On the very next day, a dear devotee of mine Rathivelu based of Singapore called me and told of the wonderful dream he had in which he saw Lord Siva in the form of Dakshinamoorthy towering as tall as the Brahma rishi - hill and claimed that he had out of Grace selected that very hill to manifest in combination of Sri Kakapusandhar and Annai as Sri Kakannai eswarar and would be known as ‘Kakannaisaram’ and would thus establish ‘Jnanam’(wisdom), ’Arul’(Grace) and ‘Dharmam’(“universal order of Righteousness”) and make it flourish in this world. Lord Siva had thus shown his desire to reside in the temple to be built and consecrated on this blessed hill.
