tsunami 2004 india
Immediately before the 2004 tsunami struck the Indian Ocean, including the bay of bengal the ocean water off Mahabalipuram’s coast pulled back approximately 500 meters. Tourists and residents who witnessed this event from the beach later recalled seeinga long, straight row of large rocks emerge from the water (Seven pagodas). As the tsunami rushed to shore, these stones were covered again by water. However, centuries’ worth of sediment that had covered them was gone. The tsunami also made some immediate, lasting changes to the coastline, which left a few previously covered statues and small structures uncovered on the shore (Maguire).….wikipedia
tsunami
this is purana:
In the land now called India In pre-puranic times there lived a race of people called "sagaras" and they were descendents of the Solar Race - "Surya Vamsam" the same race from which King Dasaratha's Raghuvamsha ancestry is traced.
Once the Sagaras performed the "aswamedha-yagnyam"
Unfortunately after the set period of the yagnya, although the Sagaras travelled far and wide they could not locate their horse.
The sagaras suspected that the horse might have been stolen by a horse-thief. They travelled and travelled until they came to a great ocean ( Probably the massive water body which later got divided into various oceans). They travelled aross it to what they believed was into the bowels of "bhu loka" - the "patala-loka".
The Sagaras finally found the horse in a forest near the hermitage of Kapila Maharishi. In their tired fury the mistook the Maharishi for a petty thief and abused him. Tempers flared and the Maharishi with a mere glance of his eye reduced all the 60000 Sagaras to ashes.
Entire area was sucked by the fire and air created by him.
Many ages later Sage Bhagiratha performed great austerities and brought the River Ganges from the heavens to earth. With the waters of the sacred Ganges the Sage Bhagiratha brought the Sagaras, turned ashes, back to life. ANn thus prospered the race of the Solar Dyanasty, the Raghuvamsha, the precursors to the Ramayana.
The story goes that North America which is on the anti-podes to the Indian subcontinent is to be taken to be "patalaa" i.e. the core of "hollow earth" ( Think of the flat earth theory). 'KapilAranya', the forest where they found Kapila's hermitage, is the present day "California". Also warranting this theory is the fact that near California there is both a "Horse Island" and an "Ash Island". Some people argue that these names were given long after the pre-puranic times and hence bode no validity for the theory of Kapilaranya. I will leave it to your judgement.
this is now happening:
a tarnado in california.
this is purana:
After a pralaya which destroyed the entire life of the world,
Brahma, the creator after the Pralaya Era, to continue with his work of creation wanted to have a Peetam. Lord Shiva asked him to make a pot made of "Amirhtam" and sand. The pot had a Peetam in it, with the vedas around it on four sides. A coconut was kept over the pot and garlands of Poonul (Sacred Thread ) and Tharpai were decorated and Brahma worshipped it.
During a flood, the pot floated and moved towards south from Kailash. Lord Shiva in the disguise of a hunter, broke the pot with an arrow and the amirtham spilled as "AMIRTHA THEERTHAM". Mixing the amirtham of the Kumbha with sand Lord Shiva emerged as LINGAM. The sacred place where he gave darshan as "KUMBESWARAN" is now called as KUMBAKONAM.
this is what is happening today:
this is named as tsunami today.
this is purana:
Vasishteswaraswamy temple, a very ancient temple situated in the village"Thittai" near Thanjavur. As the village is situated south of river Cauvery, its also called "Thenkudi Thittai".
The presiding diety is Swayambootheswarar and the Godess, Ulaganayaki. As the main diety is a Swayambu Lingam he got the name "Swayambootheswarar".
The main diety is also called as Vasishteswarar as he was worshipped here by Saint Vasishtar.
"Thittai", the name of the village means "Thittu" in Tamil, (i-e) aMound. When the whole world was surrounded by water because of"Pralayam", Brahma & Vishnu worshiped the Lord Maheshwara for protection. After wandering much for a safe place, they found this only mound, which did not drown in the Pralaya waters, where there was a Shiva Lingam.
They performed Pooja to the Lingam and worshiped Lord Shiva, who appeared before them and delegated their duties of Creation and Protection.Its believed that this is the only place, which was not destroyed even during Pralayam.
Unlike many other temples, here the complete temple is built using the stone. Not only for the main deities, but also all other Sannidhi's are constructed using stones, right from floors, pillars, walls and roof.
An unique feature of this temple is a drop of water falls on the Lingam (Main Diety) exactly every twenty four minutes (1 Naazhigai) from the roof. But for a small hole, there is no source of water or anything, on the Vimana of the main deity.
Two stones "Suryagaanthakkal" and "Chandragaanthakkal" which are placed at strategic points above the Vimana are the reasons for the droplets of water which falls on the deity.
These 2 stones absorb moisture from the atmosphere, convert into 1 water droplet, performing a natural Abhishegam to the deity, every 24 minutes (1 Naazhigai), be it the day or night.
A small piece of yellow cloth (Dhothi) which covers the Lingam is always wet because of this. If one can wait patiently, they can view this amazing act.
this is tsunami now
Sri Ekambareswarar and Sri Nilathunda Perumal Temple
Significance: Sri Ekambareswarar temple is one of 275 sacred Shiva temples of Tamilnadu (one of the 5 of Kanchi) glorified by the Thevara hymns and also one of the Pancha Bootha temples representing land. Sri Nilathunda Perumal shrine within the same temple premises is one of the 108 Vishnu divya desams.
Sri Ekambareswarar Temple
Main deity: Ekambaranadhar and Elavarkuzhali ammai in separate shrines.
Other deities are Vikata chakra Vinayakar, Arumugar, 1008 lingas, 108 lingas, 63 nayanmars, Markendeyar, Bikshadanar, Nataraja,Pralayam katha ammai (mother who has saved us from tsunami) and Navagrahas.
Note Kanchipuram is 70 kilometers away from the sea vertically (from Mahabalipuram the nearest seashore). But there is a Pralayam katha ammai means that sea
has come all the way more than 70 kilometers to kanchipuram.....isn't it? But what we are doing now.
Even after the warning of the Government after tsunami that habitats are not allowed one kilometer from the sea people
are refusing and constructing houses especially the fishermen saying that it is easy for them to go to sea
for fishing.
we are playing with fire (offcourse water) I think.

Thirupurambiyam Satchinathar Temple
Thirupurambiyam is situated on the river side of Kollidam 11Kms away from Kumbakonam.
Legend: During the great deluge, flood stopped away from the village. Hence it is known as Thirupurambiyam. For a lady merchant, this temple Lord Siva went to Madurai and reported as an evidence against her case. Hence the name of the god is known as Satchinathar.
Pralayam Katha Vinayakar Temple, literally translated as the Ganesha Who Saved the World from Pralaya (Great Deluge). The Ganesha at this temple is unique from all others and his importance is paramount. During the Krita Yuga, Lord Siva asked Lord Ganesha to save the world from the Great Deluge caused during the gestation period of Rahu. Lord Ganesha created a well on the east side of the temple tank andchanneled all the 7 seas into that well and controlled the deluge and saved the world. This well is known as Yezhu Kadal Kinaru. Lord Varuna created an idol of Lord Ganesha from sea shells and other materials obtained from the sea and worshipped Him as Pralayam Katha Vinayakar.
This Idol of Ganesha is still worshipped in this temple. On the night before Ganesha's Birthday, a special abishekam is being performed for this Ganesha idol only with honey. This (Thenabishekam) abishekam with honey is performed all through the night. During the abishekam it is a wonderful experience to watch that all the honey that is being poured on the idol is being drawn into the idol. At the end of the abishekam the Ganesha deity turns a crimson color. No abishekam is performed during the rest of the year. Hence in order to save the world from destructions and protect, Astroved is performing the Ganesha Birthday in this temple.
The place is sung in the Thevaram hymns of Thirugnanasambandar, Sundarar and Thirunavukkarasar.
The temple theertham are known as Brahma Theertham, Saptha Sahara Theertham, River Manniyaru and River Kollidam. Agathiyar, Pulasthiyar, Sanahar, Sanandhanar and Viswamithrar are said to have worshipped here Lord Siva and got grace.
1.water turned at this place (thiru puram piyam)
2.pralayam katha vinayagar (ganapathy who saved us from tsunami.)
3.yelu kadal kinaru (seven seas water)
all these three points are explaining that there was a great destruction by tsunami.
This place is vertically 40 kilometers from the sea.
Devipattinam Temple
See this picture the navagrahas are in sea water. It is in Devipattinam. The entire
temple is washed away by the sea water. This is the only remaining.
Immediately before the 2004 tsunami struck the Indian Ocean, including the bay of bengal the ocean water off Mahabalipuram’s coast pulled back approximately 500 meters. Tourists and residents who witnessed this event from the beach later recalled seeing a long, straight row of large rocks emerge from the water (Seven pagodas). As the tsunami rushed to shore, these stones were covered again by water. However, centuries’ worth of sediment that had covered them was gone. The tsunami also made some immediate, lasting changes to the coastline, which left a few previously covered statues and small structures uncovered on the shore (Maguire).....wikipedia
In arjun thabash you can see the statue is ten feet below the sand level. This
place was
originaly filled by the earlier tsunamis sand then it was removed for visibility.
This place is inside the sea itself hence this much of effect.
