Mangalagiri can be reached easily from Vijayawada and is on the way to Guntur. This punniya kshestram is one of the five Nrusimha kshetrams that lie alongside the Krishanveni river. The other four are VedAdri, Mattapally, Vadapally and Kethavaram. Mangalagiri is also referred to as Bhatragiri and Bheemathri. EmperumAn Sri Lakshmi Nrusimhan has abodes both on top and bottom of the mountain. It is believed that Bheema worshipped here. Also believed that the Lord was given milk in kruthayugam, honey in threthAyugam, ikshusAram (sugarcane juice) in dhvAparayugam and kudOthagam (pAnagam) in kaliyugam. Its true that even the ants and flies are wellbehaved in not swarming the pAnagam before nivEdhanam. But they start gathering around as one descends the holy abode. 44th Jeer of Sri Ahobila mutt in his SripanjAmrutha stOtram writes MalOlam praNi pathyAham svarna SriNruharimthadhA *mangalAthri ramAsimham* krushNam narthanagOvitham Nrusimha bhaktAs visiting Mangalagiri may also want to visit Aahiripalli (32 Kms from Vijayawada) aka ShobanAdri to have dharshan of RajyaLakshmi Samedha Sri VyAgra Nrusimhan (puli mukam). adiyEn Rajagopalan Srinivasan -------------------------------------------------------------- - SrImate rAmAnujAya namaH - To Post a message, send it to: bhakti-list@yahoogroups.com Archives: http://ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/ Your use of Yahoo!
