In this post we will learn about the history of Rameswaram Ramanathar Temple, one of the Jyotirlinga sites. Rameswaram is the only Jyotirlinga in Tamil Nadu out of 12 Jyotirlingas in India. It is a Jyotirlinga destination that adds pride to the pride of Tamil Nadu. Ithalam is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas of Ambika, also known as the Sethu Shakti Peetha.
Rameshwaram is also celebrated by the Hindus as a holy place parallel to the holy city of Varanasi. Rameswaram is the equivalent of Kasi temple in South India. Based on that. Devotees start their journey from Kashi and end at Rameswaram. It is celebrated as the Rama Bridge built by Ramaphran and the Thiruvadi engraved temple on Sri Rama.
Ramanathar Temple is located in Rameswaram in the Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu. Situated on the shores of the Bay of Bengal, this place is famous for the worship of Goddess Rama and Goddess Sita. It is a city located in the Pamban Island area. The Pamban Bridge connects the island to the peninsula. The length of the prakaram of Rameswaram temple is 3850 feet. In those days when there were no modern facilities like today, how so many black stones were taken to the island in the middle of the sea for the construction of the temple is still a mystery.
It is a Shiva lingam made by Goddess Sita with her hands made of sea sand. The creators of this temple are also known as Eesan Ramanathar and Rameswar. Ambika is called Parvata Vardini. Below the pedestal of Parvathavarthini Ambika is the Sri Chakra established by Adisankar.
Even if you go on a pilgrimage to Kashi and visit Vishwanath bathing in the Ganges, the pilgrimage will not be complete without coming to the Rameswaram Plateau and bathing in the Dhanushkodi Tirtha. The Tirtha Yatra, which started in Kashi, will be fully fruitful only if Ramanatha is worshiped at Rameswaram.
Although Ravana was a monster, he learned all the four Vedas effectively and was born into a Brahmin clan. The Vedic vow is that killing a Vedic learned Brahmin will lead to Brahmahadhi Tosha. God is no exception.
That is why the legends say that Ramaphran worshiped Lord Shiva here so that Brahmahadhi would not like Tosham and that Ramaphron worshiped Aesan and was liberated so that Tosham would not be embarrassed by Sri Rama for killing Ravana who was a scholar in the Vedas.
On the way from Sri Lanka to Ayodhya after killing Ravana, Isan is consecrated and worshiped by Rama and Sita at Rameswaram. In the name of the guidance of many sages to get rid of Brahma Hatti Tosha, Ramaphran Brahma Hasti Tosha has been removed. He is also known as Ramanathar and Rameswar because of his worship of Rama. As it is a place of worship for Rama, the theertham of Perumal is offered in the shrine of Lord Shiva.
This is a correction that proves vegetarian similarity. After killing Sri Rama Ravana, Brahmahathy intends to perform Sivapooja to avoid getting caught. So Hanuman sent for Kasi and asked him to bring the Shivalinga.
Accordingly Hanuman went to Kasi and Hanuman brought the Shivalinga. But as Hanuman did not arrive within the stipulated time, Goddess Sita was moved and made a Shiva lingam in the sea sand with her hands and dedicated for worship. This lingam is now also known as Ramalingam and Rameswaram.
However, Hanuman, who arrived five minutes late to start the puja, was saddened to learn that the Shivalingam had been consecrated. So to alleviate Hanuman’s misery, Sri Rama tells Hanuman to move the sand lingam and place the Shiva lingam you brought in that place. Pleased with this, Anjaneyar immediately tries to change the lingam.
Hanuman tried his best to remove the Man Rameswara lingam but was disappointed that it was not possible. Sri Rama who knew the status of Hanuman and Ramana who was consecrated to the earth by Sita Devi Nearby, Hanuman consecrated the Visva Lingam he had brought. He also said that there would be pooja for the Visva Lingam brought by Hanuman and later for the Ramanatha Lingam where he and Goddess Sita were worshiped. The lingam brought by the late Anjaneyar from Kashi is called 'Viswanathar' and is placed in a shrine to the left of the Ramanathar shrine.
