Thiruttholai Villimangalam – Sri Aravindha Lochana Perumal Temple

About the Temple & Location:

This sthalam is situated in Tirunelveli district in Tamil Nadu. Two miles away from Thirukkulandai, a small village named "Mangala Kurucchi" is situated. Travelling by walk for 2 miles through the walking path, we can visit this sthalam after crossing it.

Sthlapuranam :

In this sthalam, a munivar (rishi) named "Athreya Suprabha rishi", started and maintained a yaaga salai (place where yaagam is done). When he was cleaning the place, he found out a bright Tarasu (equilibrium measuring instrument) and Bow. On touching those two, it Changed into a beautiful men and a women. They both explained him that they were changed into the tarasu and the bow because of the curse given by Kuberan which will end only if they are touched by Suprabha rishi. And after explaining this, they both got out of the curse and got Paramapadha mukthi.

Since, the tarasu (or otherwise named as "Thulaam") and bow (otherwise called as "Vil") both of them got the vimocchan and went to Paramapadham. This sthalam is named as "Thulam Vil Mangalam" and as the years passed the name changed to "Tholai villi Mangalam".

The sthala Emperumaan explains and thinks that all the humans and all other living and non living things should lead their lives in an happy way, Lord gives his seva both in Nindra (standing) and Veetrirundha thirukkolam.

Vil (Bow) is the other resemblance of ekapathini (good character) Character of Human. Sri Rama, who is considered to be the kind of person who loved only his wife Sita, was popularly named as "Ekapatthini Vridhan". Having this kind of character only, he was able to lift the Shiva dhanush (Vil (or) bow) and able to kill Kakkasuran, Vaali and Ravanan.

Tarasu (Measuring Instrument), which has two hands equally measures both the items kept on it. Out good and bad characters and activities are calculated and according to that, we are given the destiny.

For the Bow (Vil) getting into action, two things are necessary. One is the arrow and another one is ther person who performs the action on the Bow. And the person who is performing this action is Sri Srinivasa perumal, who is the whole structure of Good habits and thinking and giving his seva in Nindra Thirukkolam and along the sides are Sri Lakshmi and BhooDevi.

A person's expression of Love, his kind nature and the bhakti is expressed through his eyes. So, the bhaktas who live in a good way and lead their lives in the Dharma way to achieve Sriman Narayanan's Thiruvadi, He, gives his seva as "Senthamarai Kannan" and as Aravindha Lochanar along with Karuthandangi Naachiyaar.
Dharma Tarasu has two plates, which stands in equal to one another, likewise the Lord and Thaayar are found to be equal and giving the Veetrirundha seva.

Since, both of this sthalam are found along the Tamirabarani river, how rivers flow in different direction, but when they mix together they are treated as the same, likewise even though there are two sthalams, these two are considered to be one divyadesam.

All these Nava tirupathis have a common and a distinct news, that has to be explained.
In Thirukkurugoor Indiran, who did not give the proper respect for his parents
In Thirukkoloor where Guberan has given the Sabham
In Thirupperai, varunan treated his Guru
In Thiru Vaikundam, a thief giving his share of the theft things to Lord
In Thiru Varaguna Mangai, where Saavithri fought for her husband's life
In Thirupulingudi, Yagnasharma, who got the sabha of Vashista Muni's sons
In Thiru tholai villi mangalam, a men who was burried into the land as "the Bow" and a women as "Tarasu" by Guberan, got their Sabha Vimocchan.
All in these nine tirupathis, Sriman Narayanan, gave them the Sabha vimocchan and to attain the paramapadha world.
