[Sri Seshadri Swamigal Birth Place]

Sridevi, Boomadevi Sameda Sundaravadana Perumal Temple is located in Vazhur, the birth place of Sri Seshadri Swamigal. The stone Temple which is more than 2000 years old is in a very dilapidated condition. The Temple is situated on the road from Kanchipuram to Vandavasi, near Thiruvannamalai] but the deity is very beautiful and powerful. Even today the Lord appears in the dreams of villagers and cures all their diseases.

There is on small sannidhi for Anjaneya were Seshadri swamigal was born to Varadarajan and Maragathambal. Kamakoti sasthrigal adopted father of Maragathambal lived here for several years and did penance. Kamakoti sasthrigal and parents of Seshadri Swamigal prayed Kamarasavalli sameda Bramhapuriswara and Sundaravadana Perumal for a child. After a lot of penance, charity the Ambal appeared in Kamakoti Sasthrigal dream and asked him to give butter to the couple which will help them have a “Gnanakuzhanthai” and soon Sri Seshadri was born. In remembrance of the Lord they named him Seshadri and he became an ardent devotee of Sundaravadana Perumal, often taking bath in the Temple tank. He would often meditate in his young age and Lord Krishna would appear in invisible form to play with him. Once Seshadri Swamigal, who went into the tank for a bath did not come out for a long time giving anxious movement for the people around. The temple tank is unique as it never dries up and there is another tank in it. It is said that after Seshadri Swamigal left Vazhur, He often visited the temple to offer prayers.

Sri Seshadri Swamigal and Sri Ramana Maharshi were contemporaries. It was Seshadri Swamigal who brought Ramana Maharshi from Baktha Lingam Samadhi of Arunachala Temple.

With the effort of local people and philanthropists, the balalayam ceremony took place on 22nd August09 .
