A Memorial at Sri Pillai Lokacharya Tiruvarasu
Sri Pillai Lokacharya was one of the great acharyas who lived in the 13th and 14th century. When Uluk Khan invaded Srirangam in the year 1325, this acharya safeguarded the reclining deity of Sri Ranganatha by raising a stone veil. He placed the processional deity, Namperumal, in a palanquin and fled towards south along with a few faithful devotees. They found a hideout called Jyotishkudi at the foot of anamalai hills near madurai. Placing the deity in a cave, they lived there for about a year. Age and disease overpowered Sri Pillai Lokacharya and he attained eternal bliss. Today this place known as Kodikkulam village, retains its serene atmosphere and scenic beauty. Under the guidance of Sri U Ve Tirukkotiyoor Madhavan Swamy our trust has refurbished the cave and also established a memorial at this historical site. Srimad Paramahansetyadi Tridandi Sriman Narayana Jeer Swamy concecrated this on 11th April 2007.
Total cost of the project including sanctification was Rs. 10.00 lacs
Member philanthropists have given specific donation to fulfil this.
