Meet Muruga Where He Claimed Victory

According to legend, Thiruchendur is where Lord Muruga defeated the most powerful demon, Soorapadman, and his army. Dr. Pillai has revealed that it is only through the help of Muruga at Thiruchendur that one can be free of the worst kinds of karma which are stored in the second chakra. This unique temple is built near the beach in the shape of the symbol for OM, and the home of powerful karma-dissolving waters. Here you can also find an underground room behind the main deity where there are 5 Shiva Lingams believed to have been worshipped by Muruga himself. 

Receive the Blessings of Vishnu and the 9 Planets

Today you will be visiting the sacred Navathirupati temples, or nine sacred spaces for Vishnu. Although the buildings are as old as the 6th century A.D., the vortices they are built on are believed to exist since times immemorial. They were identified by Tamil saints known as the Alwars. Here you will be able to receive the blessings of different forms of Vishnu and Lakshmi, as well as the nine planets, as each of the temples also corresponds to one of the nine planetary Archetypes. Unique blessings associated with these temples include blessings for divine progeny, relief from curses and negative forces, divine relationships and beauty, as well as restoration of wealth and wisdom.

Visit Vishwamitra Temple in Vijayapati

After receiving the blessings of Vishnu and the 9 planets, you will travel to visit the ancient Indian emperor turned saint Vishwamitra at Vijayapati. It was Vishwamitra who revealed the highly revered Gayatri mantra and also the sound Brzee, which he revealed to Dr. Pillai during a special Nadi reading in the late 1990s. It is said that this is the only temple dedicated to Vishwamitra.

In addition to visiting with Vishwamitra, you will also return to select Navathirupati temples dedicated to Vishnu for blessings of wealth and prosperity.

Commune with the Siddhas at Courtallam

After leaving Vijayapati you will journey to Courtallam. Courtallam is the magical abode of the Siddhas where they are said to still live in their light bodies. Here you can bathe in healing waters charged with the energy of rare Siddha herbs, visit a special Shiva temple, and commune with the Siddhas for your highest evolution. Many people have reported miraculous encounters with the Siddhas at this most sacred place. The cave where the leader of the Siddhas, Agastya, is said to have performed extended periods of meditation is also located here, in addition to a temple for the Goddess who gave him Siddhi Powers, Shenbaga Devi. Coutrallam is also said to be where the Mahavatar Babaji was initiated into immortality by Agastya.

Dattatreya, Hanuman, and Departure

For the final day of the trip, you will be visiting one of the most beautiful temples in India, in the town of Suchindram. An architectural marvel, the main temple here contains approximately 30 different shrines representing most of the major deities in Hinduism. The King of Gods, Indra was said to have been relieved of his famous curse from the Sage Gautama from worshipping the main deity here, and is believed to come every night to worship even to this day. The main deity is a special Lingam that represents Dattatreya, the embodiment of the Holy Trinity. The Lingam is said to contain Brahma the creator in the bottom, Vishnu the sustainer in the middle, and Shiva the destroyer in the top.

In addition, you will also be visiting with a giant 22-foot statue of Lord Hanuman which is carved out of a single piece of granite rock. This famous form of Lord Hanuman is believed to be giving the darshan (holy radiation) of the giant form he assumed for Sita, the wife of Lord Rama.

After receiving the final blessings of the trip, you will then have an upscale lunch and the opportunity to wash and change before being taken to Chennai International airport for your departure.
