Parihara Sthalams

The topic of ‘Parihara sthalams’ is an ocean and can’t be compiled just like that. Thanks to Sri Sankara Narayanan who gave the bulk of the information. I request the readers to add value to this list with the temples they know but I request to add only the genuine and very important temples for a specific problem. This is a dynamic list and so will be updated as and when I get some new information.

Note:

1. I don’t know the alphabet of Astrology and this is NOT an an astrological site. So please don’t send your horoscope / birth-star details with your problem descriptions asking me for remedy. I’m not into that business and unfortunately I will not be able to publish such comments since it will easily take away the focus of this page. This is just a general list of temples that can give remedy for a particular problem and please use it that way.

2. I just received a very detailed and wonderful book on this topic by Mr.Radhakrishnan of Thimmakudi (Kumbakonam) for Rs 150/=
மனித வாழ்க்கையும் இறையருளும் (பரிகாரத் தலங்கள்)
The book is available from their offices at Kumbakonam @ 0435 2422347. It gives almost all the information you needed on this topic for all kinds of problems.

3. It is very well understandable that all the problems we face today are due to the Karma of our current or the previous births. So we have to be very careful that we don’t add up to our bad karmas in the current birth to wander again to parihara sthalams in the next birth.
Sri AMR of Kumudham Jyothidam, in one of his articles says there is no point in going for a pariharam for Athrities and knee pains when we have animals / birds in the name of pets within cages / glass boxes for their life time. Any type/amount of pariharam is not going to give any remedy.
So before we look up for a Parihara sthalam, let us look within ourselves and make sure that we are not doing anything now to add up to the burden of our existing bad karmas.

4. Last but not least, today (12.07.2015) I’ve decided to publish any more requests seeking details of pariharam for various ailments ONLY WHEN you contribute to any of the activities listed in the ‘Needs Attention’ category, however small it is – even a 100 Rs contribution is ok. So please include your contributtion details also in your comment section to enable it getting published. Your contribution itself, as such, may solve the problem, who knows. However, readers replying to others’ problems may please continue as before.
