The Legend of Kanakampatty Moottai Swamigal
- History (Varalaru): Moottai Swamigal, also known as the “Sarguru,” was a renowned Siddhar who lived a simple, detached life. He was famously known for carrying a bundle (Moottai) on his shoulder, symbolizing that he carried the burdens and karmas of his devotees.
- Significance (Sirapu): He was a silent saint who rarely spoke, yet his gaze alone was said to solve the deepest problems of those who visited him. Even today, thousands of people including famous celebrities visit his shrine to seek blessings for health, wealth, and peace.
- Jeevasamadhi: The temple is built over his Jeevasamadhi (a state where a Siddhar enters a meditative tomb alive). It is considered a high-energy center where meditation becomes effortless.
