The temple for sweet tooth - Venni Karumbeshwarar

As our lifestyle has changed over these many years, people are more often fall sick with many dangerous diseases. Diabetes is one among them. As doctors and other pharmaceutical partners up for making it a huge business with people falling ill, we “Indians” have the simplest way to prepare medicines for serious diseases as well.

In one of my post previously where I’d wrote about the simplest homemade medicine for diabetes, I told my readers about this post, where I’ll write about a temple, which is a specific temple which cures disease, If we offer our sincere prayers.

The temple is Soundarya Nayagi Sametha Sri Venni Karumbeshwarar, located in a peaceful place among dense trees and in between agricultural fields of Kovil Venni, Thiruvarur District. This temple, like other Lord Shiva's temple has got Lord Ganesha, Lord Subramanya, Dakshinamurthy, Goddess Durga, Chandikeshwarar, Lord Bhairavar and Navagraha Sannadhis (Shrines).

This temple comes among the temples of Lord Shiva, 102nd temple located in the southern bank of River Cauvery. Kovilvenni is also known as Thiru Venniyur. This temple dates back to 5000 years, during the time of Musukundha Chakravarthy.

History of the temple

During the Thiruvarur temple works, Musukundha Chakravarthy, on his way to Thiruvarur, found this place to be a forest/field made up of Sugarcanes. He saw 2 Sages arguing about the Sthala Vruksham of the temple. One Sage says that Sugarcane is the Sthala Vruksham, whereas the other says Nandhiyavattai is the Sthala Vruksham. 

Musukundha Chakravarthy got confused and finds both the sages possessing great knowledge and decides not to argue in between them. He prays to Lord Thyagaraja. Lord Thyagaraja, in oracular voice, confirmed that the Sthala Vruksham is Nandhiyavattai and the main deity of this place is present in a sugarcane like structure in the black forest.

Lord Thyagaraja then asks the Musukundha Chakravarthy to establish a temple for the main deity, so that the deity can cure all the disease of those who pray to him. The servants of Musukundha Chakravarthy finds the deity in the forest. When they want to build a temple by bringing out the whole Vigraham (idol), the servants dug for 36 feet and still were unable to find the base of the Vigraham.

As they were unable to find the base and the Vigraham is a Swayambu Murthy (formed naturally, they built it like a dome. The height between the pond of the temple and the deity is 36 feet.

After 3000 years of this incident, Karikala Chozhan fights against Chera and Pandiya kings. Vennippor (Battle of Venni) is a remarkable war that Karikala Chozhan had fought. He did many construction works for the temple after his victory.

Kuzhothunga Chozhan visited this temple during 12^th Century and further built this temple in stone. Temple was famous even during the Sangam period. Venni Kuvaithiyar, who had sung Puranaanuru songs in literature.

Prayers offered

The main prayer offered to Venni Karumbeshwarar in order to get rid of diabetes is that they need to do Archana with the Rava (Sooji) and Sugar, then they have to put it slowly while coming around the temple. Diabetes is believed to be cured as how much the insects (like ants) consume the grains that the devotees have dropped in the temple premises. 

Not only diabetes, the deity here can cure all kind of disease. Once a devotee enters this temple, he/she could get rid of not only physical disease but also could get rid of mental stress and all.

Soundarya Nayaki Amman here likes bangles. Those who are facing difficulties in case of marriage and those who need children can pray to Ambal (Goddess) to offer her bangles after their wishes gets fulfilled.

The Vibhuthi offered here should be consumed with water for 24 days after chanting “Om Shri Venni Karumbeshwaraya Namaha”. The temple’s priest himself got effective feedback from many number of devotees.

Medical Miraculous Incident

One such incident which happened with a doctor from America (South Indian), practicing heart specialist, was affected by diabetes and was advised to remove his foot due to an injury. He came, visited Venni Karumbeshwarar, and offered his praying for his betterment after the surgery.

After going back to America was tested before the surgery and as his diabetes consultant found that his sugar level in blood is perfectly alright, aborted the surgery. His juniors asked him, whether he had visited any super specialists in India, he told them about the Supremacy Venni Karumbeshwarar and called the priest of the temple and was crying out of joy.
