CHRONICLES OF A PATHOLOGIST

Hello my dear brethren, my humble greeting to one and all.About myself,   hmm.....   I am Dr Viswanathan Periaswamy. I am basically a Clinical Pathologist and work as a professor of pathology in a reputed medical college in chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, India.

My Interests are visiting various temples and researching about them. Also i have a special interest on Chola temples and architecture. 

Here is one of my visits and a detailed description about the inscriptions and figurines in the temple.

I dedicate this blog to my Parents - PROF.T.V.PERIASWAMY and MRS.MEENAKSHI _ WHO PROVIDED ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN.

THIRUVETKALAM SIVA TEMPLE

ARJUNA WAS MEDITATING IN YEGAPATHASNA
   POSITION ( STANDING IN ONE LEG ) TO OBTAIN THE
   PASUPATHASTHRA . HE WAS DISTURBED BY A WILD
   BOAR AT THAT TIME , SO HE  USES HIS BOW AND
   ARROW TO KILL IT. HE WENT NEAR THE BOAR AND
   SAW TWO ARROWS IN IT.




   FURTHER ARJUNA SAW A HUNTING COUPLE
   WITH DOGS COMING THERE . THERE WAS A
   QUARREL BETWEEN HIM AND THE COUPLE
   WHICH ENDED UP IN FIGHT . ARJUNA WAS
   DEFEATED IN THE FIGHT . HE TELLS ONLY THREE
   PERSONS CAN DEFEAT HIM AND THEY ARE
   DRONACHARYA ,BEESHMAR AND LORD SHIVA




    HE KNOWS THAT IT IS NOT DRONACHARYA OR
    BEESHMAR , HE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE PERSON IS
    LORD SHIVA . HE STARTS TO WORSHIP HIM IN
    NAMASKKARAMUTHIRAI .AFTER SEEING ALL THESE,
    CONSORT UMA TELLS LORD SHIVA TO GIVE THE
    PASUPATHASTHRA TO ARJUNA . SO FINALLY
    ARJUNA GETS THE PASUPATHASTHRA.
