Both of them participated in the Maheshwara Pooja and later, the Chettinad King asked the Sannidhanam, “Pray Sanndianam, what service must I offer to the Aadheenam? Please give your orders. I am waiting for Sannidhanam’s orders. Now I have brought a small Pathakanikkai (offering to be placed at the feet of the Sannidhanam). Please accept it and bless me.

  • 2 silver vibhooti madalgal – sacred ash containers – inside another silk bag
  • 1 silver Sengol (ruling staff) in a third silk bag

The Mahasannidhanam on seeing all the items was extremely pleased and asked the Chettinad King, “When did you get all these items done?” The Chettinad King humbly replied, “I decided to have your darshan (divine audience) one month earlier. I ordered for artisans from Karaikudi (place in Chettinad) and made these silver items. You have told us to follow the Saiva tradition when we visit the Aadheenam, therefore I did all this.

Even after he left the Aadheenam, the Chettinad King surprised everybody in the Madurai Aadheenam the following day afternoon with further gifts: 

Without informing the Sannidhanam (Pontiff), the King chose two of the Madurai Kingdom’s functionaries, and through them organised 200 sacks of rice, 2 sacks of Moong Dal, two sacks of coconut, and one big bag containing cashewnuts packed in imported packing covers, and ordered the functionaries to place the offerings at the feet of the Pontiff and get his blessings.

Such was the deep respect, affection and relationship the Chettinad Kings had with the Madurai Aadheenam.

Documented protocols for respect to be accorded to the ruling Pontiff

In all the ancient Hindu kingdoms, the Pontiff is the direct representative of the deity (Paramasiva) and the regent King and all the subjects bow down to Him, offering him supreme respect, and training in the Dharma (Cosmic Principles)  at his feet. 

There are detailed protocols documented on how the subjects shall relate with the ruling Pontiff, a few of which are mentioned here:

  1. When one writes a letter to the Pontiff, one should commence as follows:

    For the divine attention of Tirupperuntiru Guru Maha Sannidanam (Pontiff), herewith I,

    your humble devotee (name) am facing the direction of the Aadheenam, sitting on my knees (as a mark of respect) and writing this letter.  By the divine blessings of the Lord and special blessing of Guru Maha Sannidanam (yourself), myself, my wife, my children and my relatives are all keeping well. We are awaiting to hear of the Sannidanam’s (Pontiff) good health and have his direct darshan (visit). 

  2. When meeting the Pontiff at Odukkam, the meeting room, one must prostrate at his feet and receive the sacred ash from him and then be seated with men on his right and women on his left.
  3. One must not prepare to leave on one’s own during the meeting with the Pontiff. The Pontiff will grant leave at the appropriate time. Then one must prostrate before him and utter the word ‘uthiravu’ meaning “respectful adherence to his word”, and then leave facing him and walking backwards towards the exit, instead of turning one’s back on him disrespectfully. 
  4. One must participate and offer seva (service) at the  5-day “Tiru Jnanasambandar Guru Puja festival”. 
  5. When the Pontiff visits neighboring regions, the people there must gather at the entry to the region, accord him all respects, welcome him, and take him into the region. Similarly when he leaves, the people must accompany him upto the border and ceremoniously bid him farewell.
  6. During public functions where the Pontiff is invited, the organisers of the function must arrange for the people to assemble in separate lines of men and women and receive sacred ash and blessings from the Pontiff.
