It was at Kizhvelur that Lord Subramanya presented sacred
cows to the Yadavas to whom Lord Vishnu provided darshan as Yadava Narayanan
Thiru Kalyanam is Celebrated in a grand manner on the Shravanam day in May every year
Located 1km South of the Nagapattinam-Tiruvarur
Highway is the Yadava Narayana Perumal temple in Kizhvelur. This is the fifth
among the Pancha Narayana Kshetrams around Thiru Kannangudi Divya Desam Damodara
Narayana Perumal Divya Desam praised by Thiru Mangai Azhvaar is a couple of kms
from here (http://prtraveller.blogspot.com/2008/06/thiru-kannangudi.html).
Lord Subramanya undertook penance at the Anju
Vettathu Amman temple, the Thevaram Sthalam a couple of hundred yards from the
Yadava Narayana Perumal temple. To support his penance, Parasakthi is believed
to have protected the place from all five sides. Lord Subramanya secured the
spear at Sikkal just over 5kms from here and he completed the Samhara of the
Asura at Tiruchendur. When he invoked the blessings of Brahmma seeking liberation
from the dosham of killing, he was directed to go back to the same place where
he undertook penance and present cows to the devotees.
Thus, Subramanya came back here and presented milk
bearing cows to the Yadava devotees of Kizhvelur. When the delighted devotees
began invoking the blessings of the Lord and presenting the milk, Lord Vishnu
presented himself as Yadava Narayana and provided darshan to them.
The biggest festival takes place on the Shravanam
day when Thiru Kalyanam is celebrated. The entire town congregates at the
temple on this day to watch the celestial wedding.
Puratasi Saturdays have also become a day of
celebration in the recent past.The temple is open between 8am and 12noon and 5pm and 830pm. Contact Suresh Bhattar @ 98427 55732.
The 2nd among the Pancha Narayana
Kshtrem, Anantha Narayana Perumal temple in Aabaranadhari is just 5kms East of
here (http://prtraveller.blogspot.com/2018/08/anantha-narayana-perumal-aabaranadhari.html).
