About Sri Jothi Mounaguru Nirvana Swamigal
In days of yore, a little boy came to this place. He was ever nude and wore no clothes. The villagers did not take this seriously as he was a little boy and gave him clothes. He simply tore and threw the clothes offered. People began to realize that he was an enlightened soul understanding the falsities and uncertainties of worldly needs and began to respect him. They called him Perumalsami and later began to call him Nirvanaswami meaning a nude man. As he maintained strict silence and was very economical in his words when need arose, people began to call him Mounaguru Nirvana Swami.
Sri Swamigal took only simple liquid foods called Koozh in Tamil and palak, keerai in Tamil. He had the habit of smoking. It is believed that the fire of the cigarette would burn the hardships of the devotees and vanish in the smoke. During the four pujas, a lighted cigarette is placed in the hands of the Swami. It is done as a prayer commitment for relief from sins of the past birth and debt burdens. The Prasad is a blend of sacred ash and cigarette ash. They write their grievance in paper and stand before the Swami with the chit.
Mouna means silence. He attained Samadhi-salvation also here. The temple was built then.
