Yoga Ramar Temple, Nedungunam

      LORD RAMAR is seen in a Chin Mudra Posture without his bow. Biggest Vishnu temple  and biggest RAMAR temple in the North Arcot and Thiruvannamalai districts of Tamil Nadu

    Located 24kms South of Vandavasi on the Kanchipuram – Chetput-Thiruvannamalai route at the foot of the Dheergajala Mountain is the  Yoga Ramar temple, where Lord Rama is seen in a unique sitting ‘Chin Mudra’ posture without his bow listening to Hanuman’s Vedic recital.

    One of the OLDEST ( about 500 years) temples, situated in small NEDUNGUNAM Village. One can wonder about the massiveness of the temple once entered the 7 tier big gopuram ( the 105 feet Raja Gopuram), crossing very big outer Praharam and entering inner Gopuram (65 feet Kili Gopuram) of temple. Entire temple is with beautiful stone carvings all sides, in Praharam walls. One can see every panel of the Gopuram and walls beautiful scenes from Ramayana and Dasavathara depicted on them.

Moolavar : Yoga Rama East Facing Sitting Posture with Sita and Lakshmana by his side and Lord Anjaneya standing in front of Ramar
Thaayar : Shengamala Valli Thaayar

    The main God Lord Rama is found sitting calmly in the yogic posture with His right hand on the chest. He did not have any weapons in His hands since he was returning from Srilanka after defeating Ravana. The Goddess Sita is found with the Lotus flower in Her right hand and Her left hand was pointing to the feet of Lord Rama. (Maybe She implies her devotees that their destiny lies at the feet of the Lord !!). Brother Lakshmana is found standing on the right side of Lord Rama with weapons. Lord Hanuman is found inside the main sanctum itself chanting the Vedas obediently before the Lord. The Utsava Moorthy of this temple is called the Vijaya Raghava Perumal signifying His victory over Ravana. There is a separate shrine for His consort Sri Sengamalavalli Thayar.

    Apart from these, we have the shrines of Garudalwar, Chakarthalwar, Kalyana Venkatesa Perumal, and Sanjeevihanuman. Another significance is that this temple has a separate shrine for Vykanasachaaryar who originated the Vykanasa Agama. He is found in a separate shrine with 4 of His disciples.

    This temple is a unique one where one could see the rare “Santha Murthy” form of Lord Rama. Hence, praying the Lord here in this temple ensures Peace of Mind and prosperity to the devotees.
