Kodi Swamigal's divine instructions for this year Kadal Poojai
Every act carried out by our trust is directed by the divine presence of Kodi Swamigal. The What, When, Where and How of every function is given by Kodi Swamigal himself. Every year Kadal Poojai's key components are said well in advance and we strive to implement them.

Following divine guidance, the trust prepared to install the main deity, or Moola Vigraham, in the sanctum of the Thava Bhoomi Temple in Dhanushkodi. To honour the 20th anniversary of the Kadal Poojai, a statue representing Kodi Swamigal was placed at his sacred meditation ground, Thava Bhoomi, in Dhanushkodi. This moment marked a meaningful milestone in the temple's journey, bringing the presence of Kodi Swamigal closer to all who visit.

Kodi Swamigal instructed us to sprinkle turmeric water using neem leaves on everyone who entered the temple premises at Dhanushkodi for the 20th-year Kadal Poojai which was held on March 11th, 2020. At the time, we didn’t fully grasp the significance of this act, but we followed his guidance with faith and ensured that every visitor was sprinkled with turmeric water using neem leaves as they entered the premises.

Two weeks later, the world was plunged into lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. India went into lockdown on 26th March 2020. As information flooded in on how to protect ourselves, Health experts were advising home remedy practices—cleansing with turmeric water and incorporating neem leaves for their healing properties. Only then did we begin to realise the deeper meaning of Kodi Swamigal’s instruction given to us on why to do the same process during the Kadal Poojai at Dhanushkodi on 11th March 2020.
