Lord Vaithyanatha



Lord Vaithyanath

Lord Shiva is considered as the king among physicians. He is worshipped in this form in Parli Vaijyanath. He is also worshipped in this form, at a great temple in Tamil Nadu known as Vaitheeswaran Koil (Temple of the lord of physicians). It is believed that Lord Rama and Lakshmana performed the cremation of the bird Jatayu in this spot. It is also believed that Lord Angaraka (planet Mars) who was afflicted by leprosy got cured in this place. It is also believed that Lord Subramanya got his trident (Vel) after worshipping in this temple. There is a temple tank called Siddha Amrutha Theertha (the all curing nectar water) in this temple. Bathing in this tank is supposed to cure all diseases. This tank is devoid of fishes and frogs, till this day. Tiru Chandu pills distributed in this temple are considered as a cure of all diseases. This is purported to be the medicine, which Vaidyanatha gave to Angaraka to cure his illness. This great prayer, sings the glory of the Lord Vaidyanatha and offers him the devotee’s salutations.
