Glimpses-From-Kodikkan-Ratha-Yatra-Celebrations with HDH Nithyananda Paramashivam

Daivi Archavatara   Pratishta Karana  Leela Patalam

Paramashiva assumes the Paancha Bhautika sharira - the body or the form made of the pancha bhutas - the five elements of nature. He assumes the form made of mrit - mud, shila - stone, Dhatu ie  metal and bones and flesh made of the dhatus vata, pitta and kapha. Paramashiva descending and assuming the form of a  living body, like human body is called Nijavatara. Paramashiva descending and assuming the form of deity made of stone /metal / clay is called Archavatara.

Archavatara is of many kinds - Swayambhu, Baana, Daivi, Arsha, Manusha etc. Daivi Archavatara is the form of the Divine made/  installed/ worshipped by a Devata while the Devata plays the leela of living on the Bhuloka. 

Devi Parvati Parashakti in the form of Kamakshi installed and worshipped the first Daivi Archavatara - Ekamranatha swami - made of sand in Kancheepuram millions of years ago. She, in the form of Akhilandeshwari, installed and worshipped the Daivi Archavatara - Jambukeshwara Swami - in Tiruvanaikkaval. 

Sri Ramachandra installed and worshipped the Daivi Archavatara - Sri Ramanatha Swami - in Rameshwaram 870,000 years ago in the Treta Yuga. 

Keeping the Sampradaya of Nijavatara creating, installing and worshipping the Archavatara alive, the Nijavatara of Paramashiva - Jagadguru Mahasannidhanam His Divine Holiness Bhagawan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, at the tender age of 9, started reviving the most sacred science of making the Devatas of Kailasa descend to the Bhuloka in the form of Archavatara by personally creating the first Daivi  Archavatara as part of  His Avatara Leela. 

When a Nijavatara manifests the Daivi Archavatara, He not only makes the Devata descend to the Bhuloka for the benefit of humanity, but also brings down some of the most sacred, secret, rare Divine aspects and components of Paramashiva from Kailasa and infuses those components in the Daivi Archavatara. 

Devi Parvati brought down the DNA of Paramashiva into the Ekamranatha linga. Sri Rama brought down the Karma Dosha dahana component - the intense energy of Paramshiva that burns Karma and Doshas.

His Divine Holiness has brought down the Roga nivarana component - healing aspect of Paramashiva on the Nithyananda linga in Vaidyasarovar. 

His Divine Holiness has brought down the Divine Kalpataru  aspect of Paramashiva in the Archavatara  Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva and Nithyanandeshwari Parashakti. 

Utsavams are one of the unique components of the Vedagamic Sanatana Hindu Dharma. In a utsavam, the Archavatara is taken around the town/village  in procession in a ritualistic way as per Paramashiva's instructions in the Agamas. Out of His intense compassion towards the sick and aged ones who are not able to come to His abode - the temple, Paramashiva has directed in the Agamas that the  Archavatara meant for procession to be taken  around the whole town, so that even the sick and aged people receive His Anugraha and Shaktinipata. 

As a part of the installation of an Archavatara, Paramashiva has directed in the Agamas that after the form of the Archavatara is carved and after the samskaras are done to the Archavatara as per agama, and before the deity is installed, it should be taken around the town for everyone to have the darshan of the Archavatara and receive His Anugraha and shaktinipata. This is called Pattana pravesham.  

As per what Paramshiva revealed in the Agamas using His body in Maha Kailasa, Paramshiva in His Avatar as Jagadguru Mahasannidhanam His Divine Holiness Bhagawan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, created the Daivi Archavatara of Sri Nithyanandeshwari Parashakti sameta Sri Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva who radiates the unique Kalpataru Shakti - the power to manifest any thought into reality - and performed the grand utsavam of Kodikkan Ratha Yatra. 

Through this Kodikkan ratha yatra of Sri Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva, more than 1 crore beings received the darshan, anugraha and shaktinipata of Paramshiva.

24 Sep 2006 witnessed a historic flagging off of the procession of the deities of Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva and Nithyanandeshwari Parashakthi at Thiruvannamalai in Tamilnadu. The deities were flagged off in a ratha chariot, by Swamiji amidst great celebration and will be taken around in procession throughout Tamilnadu and parts of Karnataka before they are consecrated as the presiding deities at the Temple of Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Devalayam at Adikailaasa, Bidadi, Bengaluru.
