A 20th CENTURY SIDDHAR THAVATHIRU NAGAMANI ADIGALAR JEEVA SAMADHI TEMPLE ( தவத்திரு நாகமணி அடிகளார் ஜீவசமாதி கோயில் ) AT, PERUNGUDI, CHENNAI, TAMIL NADU.

25^th October 2019.

When we are in search of Shiva temples in Tharamani and Perungudi, we came across this Siddhar Jeeva Samadhi. It was a surprise to me, when we are entered in to a big campus with a school, called Thavathiru Nagamani Adigalar School, starts with nursery and Primary school ( Estd 2003 ). The Schools caters to the economically weaker section in and around Perungudi. The School and the Jeeva Samadhi is being taken care off by Adigalar’s brother daughter, a Retired head Mistress and very close to Adigalar. The Jeeva Samadhi Temple is  on the north east corner of the premises.

It was told that Nagamani Adigal hails from Mylapore. Then he moved to this place, which was like forest with jackals like wild animals. He was with bald head and used to wear only kaupeenam / Komanam. As per his disciple ( Aged 98 ), who does pooja at this Samadhi temple, Adigalar had staged many miracles. He was a Teacher, scholar, Doctor and a multi linguistic personality knowing many languages. He treated many deceases by giving only vibhuti as a medicine. He asks the person to swallow a little vibhuti and the balance to apply on the neck and shoulders. The decease will get cured in a day or two. His devotees narrates many such incidents. He also written explanation to Tholkappiam and a good friend of Thiru. Ve. Ka. He was a jeevakarunyan too. After giving medicine he used to ask the person to do annathanam to 1000 people. When the person is not rich to that extent, he advised to buy 2 Kgs of Sugar and feed to the ants inside the premises.

He attained jeevasamadhi in 1946 and birth year is not known. A Shiva Linga was installed on the Jeeva Samadhi with a Nandhi in front. Devotees used to do pooja and meditate on pournami/ full moon days. It was told that a good vibration was observed during meditation. To match with his name, the devotees told that they had seen many times snake movements in side the premises and temple area, which didn’t harmed anybody. He does miracles even after attained jeeva samadhi. 

This Jeeva Samdhi temple was constructed and consecration / Kumbhabhishekam was done on 24-1-1994 ( Srimukha year Thai month 11^th day Monday Mrigasheersham Nakshatra, Kumbha Lagna morning 09.00 hrs to 10 hrs ), as per the Sri Meenakshi Nadi Jothida Ettu Chuvadi. The Kumbhabhishekam was performed in presence of Sri Devi Karumaridass Sri Ramadass and under the leadership of Thavathiru Mayilai Mamuni Guruji Sundararaman Swamikal. In addition to his devotees, the District Collector, HR&CE Commissioner and Govt. officials also participated. Guru pooja will be celebrated on a Pournami / Full moon day  in the Tamil month Avani.
