Gunaseelam
Gunaseelam is situated in Musiri Taluk, Trichy District Infer to yield the request of Gunaseelam Rishi, Lord Prasanna Venkatachalapathy remained in Gunaseelam itself. Prasanna Venkatachalapathy (Mahavishnu) gives his Darsan to the devotees here. He lived in Ashram of Guru Thal pear at Hiru Panjali. It is difficult to have Darsan of Lord of Tirumala even in Kaliyuga.
Rishi went to Tirumala and requested Balaji to come to Tamilnadu for the sake of his devotees. Not only this but also he sat on the bank of river Kaveri and started his Penance. Lord Indra was afraid of losing his post and gave so much trouble to Rishi who proceeded with his Penance. At last, all the people agreed to the purpose of Rishi to have the Lord at Gunaseelam.
The auspicious day of this temple is in the month of Puratasi, Saturday Lord Venkatachalapathy with his consorts Sri Devi and Boodevi on Garuda Vahana. At that time Rishi Gunasekar requested Lord to be here at the end of Kaliyuga and He accepted Rishi’s request and stayed here. Goddess Lakshmi in his Bosom, said that this place is being called ‘Gunaseelam’. Starting from Dwapara Yuga to the end, every procedure went on very well.
But Gunaseelar was compelled to go to Theertha Yatra (pilgrimage) with Guru Thalpia, Gunaseelar asked one of his disciples to look after all formalities and puja to the Lord.
Due to frequent floods in Kaveri and trouble with forest animals, the discipline could not carry the Nithya puja, so he ran away from Gunaseelam to keep his promise Lord was in AcchaRoli and it was also submerged under the earth and was covered by an anthill of the white ant. There were so many changes with the passage of time.
Temple was Built
King Gnanavarman, the king of Uraiyur, had a gosala at Kallur and Gunaseelam. His cow shed was situated there. It was the practice that the milk got from these cows and sent to the palace of the Chola king.
One day the milk cans were empty without milk and the yadavas were afraid about thinking of the punishment by the king. There one old man guessed that the god and his temple are beneath the soil. Hearing this news king came there with his military. They destroyed the Ant hill (soil made by white ants) pouring the milk on anthill in piecemeal the Acharupam of god Venkatachalapathy was found.
The king was happy to see the Lord’s Dharsan with Thayaars and ordered the king to build a simple temple. Accordingly, the king built a temple, pujas were performed as Rishi Gunaseelam did. At the end of Kaliyuga big temple will be built. This was the divine voice of Perumal. So accordingly a big temple was built.
Katrali Temple
In 2001 (Kaliyuga year 5104) Karpagragam was raised to six feet high. Artha Mandapam and Maha Mandapam were built of stone and so it is called Katrali temple. Then a Kumbaabhishekam was performed, even today, according to Gunaseelam’s astra i.e. six-time puja, mid-moon puja, theertha prasadam are being carried out without fail.
