HISTORY AND INSCRIPTIONS
This Jeeva Samadhi with Prasanna Vinayagar Sannidhi are established by Former Honorary Magistrate Thavathiru Desikanandha Swamigal with fund received from many donors.
The Temple was functioning as a madam during Andhu Swamigal’s period.
He was born to Hindu father and mother after they prayed in Anthoniyar Church of Perambur. Since Swamigal was born after praying at Anthoniyar Church, named as Anthony. During young age itself he used to go to school with vibhuti on his forehead. People used to surprise to a boy with Christian Name and wearing Hindu religion symbol. He was not interested in the material life. While his two younger brothers are studying well, he was in search of Gnanam. Then he was sent Singapore ( Sri Lanka..?) to work in Tea plantation. He was sent back to India after he falls in to sick. After returning to India there was a change in his life style and behaved like Gnanpithu which was mistakenly understood as lunatic by others. The Former Honorary Magistrate Thavathiru Desikanandha Swamigal ( latter he had become the disciple of Andhu Swamigal ), identified him correctly and made Swamigal to stay in the Prasanna Vinayagar Temple it self.
