TEMPLE HISTORY (STHALA VARALARU)

LORD BRAHMA

                    Two demons Madhu and Kaidapa snatched the Vedas from Brahmma and hide them under the sea. They were redeemed by Lord Vishnu and handed back to Brahmma. Yet Brahmma could not perform his creation job efficiently.
                 As Advised by Lord Vishnu, Brahmma worshipped Lord Shiva here and regained Gnana-wisdom on Avittam star day in the month of Aavani and resumed his creation job efficiently. As the Lord imparted Gnana to Brahamma, he is praised as Gnanapureeswarar.
SAINT GORAKKA
                Gorakka Siddha came to this temple on his pilgrimage to Shiva temples.  He stayed in a mutt here where many devotees were also staying. While he woke up at midnight, he was shocked to see a woman sleeping by his side and her sari on his hands.  As repentance, he cut off his hands and stayed in the mutt for some time. He bathed in Chandra Pushkarani and worshipped Gnanapuresswarar and Pushpavalli. 
                 Pleased with the devotion of Gorakkar, Lord appeared before him and restored his hands.  As hands were cut here, the place is called Korakkai and as the Siddha worshiped with short hands (after being cut), it is called Kurukkai. Changing with times, finally, it is now Korukkai
Temple Specialty
                 All Siva temples will have one Nandi (bull) before the Lord but out of usual there are two Nandis before Lord Siva and Pushpavathi and it is believed that if we offer cashew and groundnut garland to the Nandis our struggles will cease and we will have good fortune. Avittam nakshatra people are advised to visit this temple to release themselves from their planetary effects and to break the obstacles in their marriage and child birth.
TEMPLE GREATNESS
                The place assumed Avittam star importance, as Lord Brahmma attained wisdom on this day. It is advised that Avittam star people visit this temple as often as they could or on the particular star day or birthday or on the star day falling in the month of Avani (August-September) and follow a step by step pradakshina which would favorably change their destiny totally.

Why Lime Lime has to poke in between the lime but not at the lime eyes (kannu) front and back which is wrong.  Lime is soldier. It represents as agent to pass you wish to GOD that you offer. When you poke the tandu (up and down) you are poking the lime eyes which you sudah matikan(deactivate) the power of lime. Poke in between the lime it means side by side. When you do this way it is easier for you to tie lime malai. Offer Garland in temple Durgaiamman or kaliamman or based on your Nadi Reading Based on Palm leaf reading Guru advise me to Pray with  28 lime with   CHOTHANI KARA BHAGAWATHY AMMAM (she is 32hand bhadarakali) with her temple for 48 days based on her size o
