Snake

It was believed that Sundaresa Iyer used to pray Snakes – obviously Cobra to the extent that he befriended it. It used to quietly come and rest in the pooja room hissing to his chants! Those days Pooja room had strict entry and had its sanctity. However, the sight of snake had frightened the family members and one day Iyer had to request the snake “Subbaraya…go to your place and I will come and see you; because people are frightened here” and it quietly slithered its way to his molehill..

Shri.P.Sundaresa Iyer

I have heard (word of mouth and pass along information) that Sundaresa Iyer was a tall and bold person. He was so spiritual and straight person. He used to pray 'Ayyanar' as his principal deity. Daily goes to prays Ayyanar - a God usually does not have roofed temple. Always it is at the outer most limit of the village, usually built in gigantic size weilding big sword. It was believed that Iyer used to speak to the God. Iyer used to do pooja in a big premises to the 'Vel' and he always holds Vel and a Lathi with him wherever he goes. After his demise, it was believed to be placed at some temple..which temple? Does anyone know? Is it still there?
