I strongly recommend to hire Dholi wala for elderly people (55+) and those who have health issues like Blood Pressure, etc. So one is advised not carry any food item with them. Also different types of prasadam are available in the temple premises. There are lots of monkeys on both the hill.the best way to stay safe from the monkeys is by not teasing them and not carrying anything in the hands that is visible.preferably dont carry anything.there is a shop midway that sells juices and snacks. Although the steps have shelter now to protect the devotees from hot sun, it is better to stay early. It is believed that any person visiting the temple and spending 24 minutes on the hill will attain moksham.The Lord is said to cure the devotees of Mental disability and chronic diseases.One can easily finish off both the temples in half a day's time.so plan your trip accordingly.
People take a bath in the Chakkra Theertham in the uphill of Chinna malai and worship the Lord. Lord Anjeneya who is also in yoga posture said to have helped Indrathymna Maharaja in killing the Arakkan Nikumban and saved his country.It happened on a Sunday and hence evey Sunday is an important one for Sri Anjaneyar here.
Yoga Narasimhar is facing east and the Small Hill is at the eastern side of the Big Hill. There is a small window opposite to Lord Narasimha’s sannidhi at Big Hill, through which the Lord gives darshan to Yoga Anjeneya Swamy at Small Hill. Vaishnava teachers denote this place as Chozhasimhapuram also linking it with Chozha King Karikalan. Thirumangai and Pey azhvar worshipped this place with their pasuram and hence it is one of the oldest Temples. He gave darshan to Baktha Prahalatha also in Yoga posture. Hence this place is known as Kadigachalam. It means that if one stays at this place for a Kadigai time and prays the lord, all his sins will go away. திருக்கடிகை) The name Kadigachalam came as the Lord gave darsan to the Saptharishi for a kadigai time (approximately 24 minutes ) and gave mukthi. The Lord here has been hailed by Thirumangai Alwar as the one who rushed to rescue the elephant king, Gajendra.Sholingur is also known as Kadigachalam ( Thirukkadigai.
Another place where a similar Moolavar idol is found is at the Parthasarathi Temple at Thiruvallikeni (Triplicane). To commemorate this great event, a temple was built on the banks of Thakkan Kulam where the stone idol of Lord Varadaraja mounted on Garuda, is enshrined. The Lord, in all His enchanting beauty, sitting on Garuda ( the mystical broad winged bird who flies the Lord) appeared before the Doddacharya, and blessed him. He expressed his inability to the Lord, while standing on the banks of the Brahma Theertham (holy water sources also known as Thakkan Kulam). Reportedly the Doddacharya who was residing at Sholingur could not make it to the Kancheepuram festival on one occasion. This is known as "Doddacharyar Swami Sevai''. As soon as the Lord approaches the main entrance of the tower, the Lord's image is hidden from public view with two massive umbrellas and "Harathi'' is performed. One of the miracles is commemorated even today during the third day of the Vaikasi Brahmotsavam at Kancheepuram when Lord Varadaraja is taken out of the temple, mounted on Garuda. Sri Mudaliandan and his successor, who was the first Doddacharya, performed several miracles as recorded in holy paces like Kancheepuram, Azhagarkoil near Madurai, Thiruchithrakoodam (Chidambaram), Tirumala and at Sholingur itself. His descendants are even now looking after the temples on the hills at Sholingur and also Bhaktochita Swami temple at the foot of the hills where the Utsava idols of the hill temple are enshrined. Like Ramanuja, Doddacharya took all steps to propagate Visishtadwaitha and maintain the temples, sanctified by the Alwars' hymns. He learnt several of the preachings of Saint Ramanuja during these morning walks. Dasarathi used to accompany his uncle Saint Ramanuja to the bathing ghat on the Cauvery river, at Sreerangam. One such preceptor was Doddacharya of Chozhasimhapuram, now known as Sholingur, who lived nearly 470 years ago performing service to Lord Yoga Narasimhar.ĭoddacharya was a descendant of Sri Mudaliandan, also known as Dasarathi, who was a nephew of Saint Ramanuja (1200 AD). Accoding to legend, Lord Narayana not only took several incarnations in this world to reform the people, but also sent His messengers as preceptors to perform this function.
