MADURAI AADHEENAM: WORLD'S OLDEST HINDU ESTABLISHMENT

The ancient temple town of Madurai in southern India Boasts a 2500-year-old history of spirituality. Historians trace Madurai's existence back to the 3rd century BC, Making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities of the world. Legend says that Madurai was established by the Cosmic Mother herself, who incarnated as Princess Meenakshi, Daughter of the pious king Malayadhwaja Pandian. #An able queen and a fearless warrior, Meenakshi expanded her empire right up to Kailash in current China. But when she came face-to-face with the Lord of Kaliash, Shiva himself, she recognized Him as her eternal consort and dropped her arms to become Shiva's companion for life. Along with Shiva, also known as Sundareshwara or the 'beautiful lord', Meenakshi reigned over her kingdom for a glorious 166 years. In course of time, With the rise of Jainism as a religious force, Madurai too fell to its powerful influence and Saivism all but vanished from the sacred kingdom Where Shiva Himself had once walked the earth. The renaissance of Saivism in Madurai was the sacred task of a child-incarnation, Tirujnana Sambandar, One of the four visionary saints of Saiva Siddhartha tradition.. The story goes that as a baby, Tirujnana Sambandar Was once nourished by the milk of enlightenment From the Cosmic Mother herself. This child prodigy arrived in Madurai to effortlessly defeat the learned Jain monks with his wisdom, healing powers and spiritual prowess and restored Madurai to her beloved religion, Shaivism by reviving the ancient Madurai Aadheenam and the Meenakshi Temple, which had fallen to desolate ruin. Madurai Aadheenam is today the world's oldest living Hindu organization with a recorded history alone spanning a glorious 1500 years and an unbroken lineage of illustrious pontiffs to this very day. Over the centuries, Madurai Aadheenam has been patronized By the likes of Tippu Sultan Robert Clive and poet saint Vallalar. The pontiff of the Madurai Aadheenam Is known by the title 'Guru Maha Sannidhanam' and inherits the responsibility of carrying forward the traditions of Tirujnana Sambandar's sacred work. In 27th April, 2012, a new era began in the history of Madurai Aadheenam. The 292nd pontiff Sri La Sri Arunagirinatha Gnanasambanda Desika Paramacharya Swamigal, guided by intuition and inducement by lord shiva, coroneted a charismatic young saint as the 293rd pontiff of the Madurai Aadheenam. An accomplished yogi, a pragmatic social visionary and an adept in mystical sciences His Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, is revered as a divine incarnation by millions worldwide. Within weeks of his ascent to the sacred throne he brought about sweeping changes in the Aadheenam, including the renovation of the ancient monastery, Annadhan - free food - for thousands every day, free medical camps, yoga classes, scripture study, spiritual healing and meditation programs. The traditional Aadheenam now has a website, and thousands participate in the morning worship and spiritual talks via live-streaming and 2-way video conferencing. Vast properties belonging to the Aadheenam are being reclaimed from illegal encroachment, its numerous temples are being restored to sanctity, and the neighboring villages are being adopted, with basic amenities, education and medical care being provided for all. His Holiness dreams of an authentic Vedic renaissance for which India has already waited too long. Quote from Swami: 'Madurai Aadheenam will be a model socio-spiritual organization which will show the way for India's ultimate flowering,' With a brand new pontiff at its helm Madurai Aadheenam promises to be more than just another traditional monastery. As a whole generation turns to spirituality for answers, the changes at Madurai Aadheenam mirror the changing role of spiritual organizations today, as power centers and guiding forces, forging the enlightened Government of the new world.
