Purva Ashada Birth Star - Remedy
Purva Ashada (Pooradam) stars are fond of luxuries and would like to be prominent among friends and relatives. They are adamant. Speak harshly and indulge in arguments with all.
Do you know how we got the star name as Purva Ashada (Pooradam)
This is the sacred soil that gave birth to Kaduveli Siddhar. Kaduveli means open space. He taught people wisdom he learnt. He performed penance for darshan of Lord Shiva. Lord appeared before him and gifted skills in Siddhis - an art of 8 branches known as Ashama Siddhis. This needs an elaborate explanation.The temple was built by a Chola king. Of the elements covering the earth - Akash-space, Vayu-wind, Agni-fire, Appu-water and Prithvi-Earth, this temple is dedicated to Akash, hence the Lord is known as Akashpureeswarar (power of this star). The king named the place after the Siddha - Kaduveli.
Temple Specialty
Lord Akashapureeswarar is the authority on Pooradam star. As Mother grants all prosperity and happiness (Mangalam), She is praised as Mangalambikai - Mother of prosperity. It is believed that all the deities in the space and Vasthu Bhagwan( the authority confirming building plans in accordance with orthodox rules, which is, of late, being adhered even by atheists to avoid hardships and ensure peace in the family) worship Lord Akshapureeswarar on Pooradam days. Devotees worship the Lord with all cosmetic substances. The temple did not have the idol of Kaduveli Siddhar earlier. The idol came out when some renovation works were undertaken a few years back. Sri Nandideva moved outside giving way to Kaduveli Siddhar to worship the Lord. This is also the temple for those praying Siddhas revered as Mahatmas.
