Draft:Peringottukara Devasthanam

I saw you asking on another user's talk page when Draft:Peringottukara Devasthanam would be reviewed. The answer is "never" if it isn't submitted for review, which it wasn't. But because you asked, I have reviewed it and declined it again. See the review notice and the comment. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:05, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Vishnumaya Kuttichathan Swamy

Legend of Lord Vishnumaya

The legend is that Lord Parama Siva was en route to his divine hunt through a lush green, dense forest when he heard a melodious song by the Yakshas and the Gandharvas. Captivated by the harmonious voice of the singer, Lord Shiva found himself fooling the music only to be mesmerized by the enchanted beauty of a girl named Koolivaka. Allured by her uncontainable charm and beauty, Lord Shiva's heart was stirred and filled with an uncontrollable longing for her. He expressed his unsatiable desire for her and told her to await his return from the royal hunt.

Koolivaka was torn into a dilemma because of Lorn Siva's advances. Greatly alarmed at either angering Lord Shiva or invoking the wrath of the Goddess Parvathy. Koolivaka prayed fervently to goddess Parvathy Devi, who appeared before her. The innocence of Koolivaka moved Parvathy Devi and thence revealed her past.

Koolivaka was a Yakshini named Manaswini. She lived as a maid in Kailasa in her previous birth. During this time, she was punished by Parvathy Devi herself when she tried to suckle Parvathy Devi's son, Lord Ganapathy. The curse of Parvathy Devi had caused her to live as a tribal woman in an outcast family. As per the prophecy, her salvation would come only by breastfeeding the son of Lord Shiva before she lost her virginity.

Parvathy Devi disclosed that Koolivaka's pre-determined fate was her meeting with Lord Shiva and his passion for her. Parvathy Devi also agreed to disguise herself as Koolivaka and appear before Lord Shiva to deceive him. A child is born from this union. A child was born through the divine union of Lord Siva and Parvathy Devi and destined to be the destroyer of Jalandhara, a powerful asura.

Parvathy Devi appeared before Koolivaka and blessed her by allowing her to foster the child. The prophecy for her redemption came true. Lord Siva gifts a buffalo to protect the child, who is by then dearly called Chathan. Koolavika became his mother for seven years when Chathan became a beloved figure amongst the tribals. He used to roam freely in the jungle on his buffalo and played a musical instrument called Ezhara.

Once Chathan turned seven, swami Narada unveiled the true origins of Chathan and asked him to seek his biological parents in Kailasa. His foster mother, Koolivaka, and his friends supported Chathan's journey to seek his parents.

As Chathan proceeded to the entrance to the abode of Lord Siva on his buffalo, blowing his favorite Eezhara, he was not permitted inside. At this point, Chathan had to transform into Lord Vishnu. It was a joyous occasion when Lord Shiva and Parvathy Devi met their son. It was at this time that Lord Siva lovingly called him Vishnumaya.

Destiny of Lord Vishnumaya

Vishnumaya epitomizes the destructive forces of Lord Siva and the noble calmness of Lord Vishnu. Eventually, he receives instruction in warfare and finds means to vanquish Jalandhara, the menacing Asura.

Chathan challenges Jalandhara, whose reign of terror spans the heavens and the earth. A fierce battle starts between them and culminates in Jalandhara's beheading by Chathan. The Devas recognize Chathan's might, and he is offered a place in heaven. However, Chathan's commitment lies in protecting the downtrodden, and he returns to his people.
