Sri Srinivasa Temple (A note by Sridhar S K ansastry at yahoo.com)
Champakapuri Kshetram popularly known as Sampige is a small
village in Turuvekere Taluk of Tumkur District in Karnataka. It
is nearly 104 Kms from Bangalore. The name of the place is
due to Champaka trees which were found in this place in the
ancient times.Here an ancient Temple of Sri Srinivasa Perumal
is situated which according to the Sthala puranam dates back
to Dwapara yuga. This place was the capital of King Sudhanva
and he worshipped Lord Srinivasa. After his rule the place was
under ruins. The idol of Lord Srinivasa was hidden in a Valmika
and Narada accompanied by the Gandharvas used to worship the
deity every night.A villager noticed a bright light in the
Valmika(Ant Hill) and to their astonishment found the Idol of
Srinivasa Perumal in it. They built a temple as it is now in
that place.Sri. Srinivasa Perumal is in the form of Shanka,
Chakra, Gadhadari with Sharanagathi Hastha. Sri Champakapuri
Srinivasa is the Haath Perumal of many Hebbar Srivaishnavas
A Note by Srinivasa Iyengar posted on ramanuja.org
Sri Bhagavathare,
I am basically from Bangalore,Karnataka and belong to a
Srivaishnava subsect called Hebbar Srivaishnava or Hebbar
Iyengar.
The Hebbar Srivaishnavites are mainly residing in Karnataka
and we have our Kuladaivam in different parts of Karnataka.
My Kuladaivam(Haath Perumal) is Sri. Srinivasa Perumal at
Sampige (Meaning Land of Champak Flowers, Champakapuri in
ancient times) which is a small place in Tumkur District of
Karnataka. Every year we attend the annual BrahmaRathotsavam
there without fail. According to sthala puranam the presiding
deity was worshiped by King Sudhanva in Treta yuga and Sri
Narada Muni had installed the deity there.
We have lots of Hebbar Srivaishnavites in Karnataka who
have there Kula Perumal like in Melukote(Tirunarayanapuram)
Narasimhaswamy, MaLur Aprameyaswamy, Bindiganavile Vainatheyar,
Biligiri(Shwethadri) Rangaswamy, Srirangapattanam Ranganathar
and the list is so long that I cannot mention each.
There are so many exclusive Srivaishnavite temples in Karnatak
with there Sthala Pruanams dating back to Vedic era, that to
in the southern part and I suggest it is worth a visit for
every Srivaishnavite, even though these are not considered
under the 108 Srivaishnava Divya Deshams.
Even though our mother tongue is Tamil our style of tamil
is greatly influenced by Kannada and also the Food is Very
much Different.
