The following is a lecture on “The Pastimes of Śrī Raṅganātha Inside the Temple” given by His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja on March 28, 1992 – in Trichy, India.

Tour of South India. He also visited this temple, spent time here, chanted Hare Kṛṣṇa. Here he listened to the pastimes that Meenakshi. I don’t know all the history but she came here in a worldly form. And some of the time. When she would see Lord Shiva, when she was mature then one of the breasts would disappear. So when she saw Shiva it was love at first sight. She’s his eternal consort. And then it was arranged that she would be married to Lord Shiva. And so Lord Vishnu is the elder brother of Pārvatī of Yogamaya. So he personally performed the wedding ceremony here you see him putting water, it’s called paneek grahi. Part of the Vedic marriage ceremony is putting water over the hands. It’s called the panik grahi. Taking the hand and then pouring water over it. That’s the final consummation of the merits.

So Vishnu is declaring they are married. So this is a pastime that occurred here on this planet where Pārvatī as Meenakshi and Lord Shiva personally came and Vishnu came and performed the pastime here. So this ceremony is celebrated every month of March. To remember the pastime that happened here. There are several Vishnu temples. We’re going to go from here to the main Vishnu temple. Vishnu Tamil is known as Perumal. But the specific Vishnu deity that participates in this wedding ceremony is 30km from here. They bring him by palanquin every month of March and he performs the wedding ceremony for Manakshi in Samaritan. Already finished.

So he gets angry and he says his father let me go back. That’s also one of the first steps. Every time when the thing is off we near the river when you came just river is dried up. Now it’s called V river. So the Vishnu again turns back. So again some of the concern even bring him back every must they have this. That Vishnu is called Alagar in Tamil is the most beautiful. The left Vishnu. Alagar Alagar Vishnu Aram is the most beautiful. This is number 30. We won’t be seeing in lack of time. We won’t be seeing the deity we are seeing in here. But now we are going to one more Vishnu temple called Kodal Aragar temple. So 1 km away. So now from here we will go to the bus for kilometer and see.
