nambiyar nagar

Thiru Adhipatha Nayanar was born in a fishermen clan located in a village Nunaipadi Nambiyar Nagar in Nagapattinam.  He was a zealous devotee of Lord Shiva. Though he was born as an outcaste, his unyielding devotion to Lord Shiva raised him to a remarkable position amongst them.  He worshipped Lord Amutheeswara situated in Nambiyar Nagar.

Thiru Adhipatha Nayanar’s source of income was derived out fishing.  He made a practice of leaving the fish that first got into his net as an offering to Lord Shiva.  He repeated this practice for very long time, thus it resulted him to stay hungry for several days.  But Thiru Adhipatha Nayanar was not discouraged; he continued his selfless service to Lord Shiva attentively.  One day Adhipatha Nayanar with his group arrived at the roaring shoreline and began their journey to the deep sea.  Shortly, Adhipatha Nayanar captured a dazzling fish with all the glitters of precious stones.  All his men were jubilant at the sight of the stunning and mystifying kind of creature on Nayanar’s net.  The entire clan was overjoyed at the thought of the precious thing caught on the net and it could provide a luxurious life for all of them. Thiru Adhipatha Nayanar calmly allowed the sparkling fish to slip off from the net as an offering to Lord Shiva.  The fishermen gathered were puzzled at the act of Thiru Adhipatha Nayanar.  Instantly, there appeared Lord Shiva with his consort Goddess Sri Parvati blessed Thiru Adhipatha Nayanar and his clan with Salvation.

அதிபத்த நாயனார் வரலாறு
=================================

சோழ நாட்டின் துறைமுக நகராக நாகப்பட்டினம் விளங்கிய காலம். நாகப்பட்டினம் கடற்கரைக்கு அருகே நுழைப்பாடி   நம்பியரார் நகர்   என்ற இடத்தில் பரதவர் எனும் இனத்தவர் மீன்பிடி தொழில் செய்து வாழ்ந்துவந்தனர். அவர்களுக்கு தலைவராக அதிபத்தர் இருந்தார். அவர் சிவபக்தி மிகுந்தவர் என்பதால் தனக்கு கிடைக்கும் மீன்களில் சிறந்ததொன்றை சிவபெருமானுக்கு அர்ப்பணம் செய்வதை வழக்கமாகக் கொண்டிருந்தார். தனக்கு ஒரு மீன் மட்டுமே கிடைக்கும் காலங்களிலும் இந்த வழமை தவறாது வந்தார்.

ஒரு சமயம் தொடர்ந்து ஒரு நாளுக்கு ஒரு மீன் என்றவாறே கிடைத்து வந்தது. அப்போதும் அந்தவொரு மீனையும் இறைவனுக்கு அர்ப்பணித்துவிட்டு அதிபத்தர் பசியொடு இருந்தார். அவரைப் போலவே நண்பர்களும், உறவினர்களும் உணவின்றி வருந்தினர். தொடர்ந்து வந்த நாளெல்லாம் இவ்வாறு ஒரு மீன் கிடைப்பதே வழமையாக நிகழ்ந்தது. ஆயினும் அதித்தர் தன்னுடைய பக்தியிலிருந்து தவறாமல் சிவபெருமானுக்கு அர்ப்பணிக்கும் செயலை செய்து வந்தார்.

அதிபத்தரை சோதிக்க எண்ணிய சிவபெருமான் ஒருநாள் மீனுக்கு பதிலாக பொன்மீனை அதிபத்தரின் வலையில் பிடிபடுமாறு செய்தார். அம்மீன் மீனுறுப்பெல்லாம் அமைந்த அற்புதப் படைப்பாக இருந்தது. அம்மீன் ரத்தின மணிகள் பதிந்த பொன்மீனாக இருந்தது. அதனை வலையில் பிடித்த வலைஞர்கள் மிகவும் மகிழ்ந்து அதிபத்தரிடம் கூறினார்கள். அன்றைய நாளில் அம்மீன் ஒன்றே கிடைத்தமையால், அதனை சிவபெருமானுக்கு அதிபத்தர் அர்ப்பணம் செய்தார். அதிபத்தரின் பக்தியை பாராட்டும் படியாக சிவபெருமான் பார்வதியுடன் இணைந்து காட்சி தந்தார். அதன் பின் அதிபத்தருக்கு முக்தியளித்தார்.

History: MOTHER TERASHA

Mother Teresa's original name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. She was born on August 26, 1910 in Skopje, Macedonia. Her father was a successful merchant and she was youngest of the three siblings. At the age of 12, she decided that she wanted to be a missionary and spread the love of Christ. At the age of 18 she left her parental home in Skopje and joined the Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with missions in India.  
After a few months of training at the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Dublin Mother Teresa came to India. On May 24, 1931, she took her initial vows as a nun. From 1931 to 1948, Mother Teresa taught geography and catechism at St. Mary's High School in Calcutta. However, the prevailing poverty in Calcutta had a deep impact on Mother Teresa's mind and in 1948, she received permission from her superiors to leave the convent school and devote herself to working among the poorest of the poor in the slums of Calcutta. After a short course with the Medical Mission Sisters in Patna, she returned to Calcutta and found temporary lodging with the Little Sisters of the Poor. She started an open-air school for homeless children. Soon she was joined by voluntary helpers, and she received financial support from church organizations and the municipal authorities. On October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa received permission from the Vatican to start her own order. Vatican originally labeled the order as the Diocesan Congregation of the Calcutta Diocese, and it later came to known as the "Missionaries of Charity". The primary task of the Missionaries of Charity was to take care of those persons who nobody was prepared to look after. The Missionaries of Charity, which began as a small Order with 12 members in Calcutta, today has more than 4,000 nuns running orphanages, AIDS hospices, charity centres worldwide, and caring for refugees, the blind, disabled, aged, alcoholics, the poor and homeless and victims of floods, epidemics and famine in Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America, Poland, and Australia. In 1965, by granting a Decree of Praise, Pope Paul VI granted Mother Teresa permission to expand her order to other countries. The order's first house outside India was in Venezuela. Presently, the "Missionaries of Charity" has presence in more than 100 countries. Mother Teresa's work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions. These include the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971), Nehru Prize for Promotion of International Peace & Understanding (1972), Balzan Prize (1978), Nobel Peace Prize (1979) and Bharat Ratna (1980). On March 13, 1997, Mother Teresa stepped down from the head of Missionaries of Charity and died on September 5, 1997, just 9 days after her 87th birthday. Following Mother Teresa's death, the Holy See began the process of beatification, the second step towards possible canonization, or sainthood. This process requires the documentation of a miracle performed from the intercession of Mother Teresa. In 2002, the Vatican recognized as a miracle the healing of a tumor in the abdomen of an Indian woman, Monica Besra, following the application of a locket containing Teresa's picture. Monica Besra said that a beam of light emanated from the picture, curing the cancerous tumor. Mother Teresa was formally beatified by Pope John Paul II on October 19, 2003 with the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. A second miracle is required for her to proceed to canonization
