Singeeswarar Temple, Mappedu – Prayers

Singeeswarar Temple, Mappedu – Prayers
Those aspiring skill in music pray to Hanuman with veena in particular. Birth star of Anjaneyar is Moolam. It is notable that the birth star of Kalaivani-Saraswathi, the Goddess of Wisdom is also Moola. It is said that Mother Saraswathi wrote the Singanatha seed letters (Beejakshara – Beeja means seed, Akshara-letters) on the tongue of Sri Anjaneya with the stem of a lotus flower. This is believed to have given Lord Hanuman clarity in his speech and an aptitude to protect people in distress using tactics needed for the time.
He is celebrated as Sollin Selvan in Tamil and Nava Vyakarna Pandit in Sanskrit. Moola people are advised to pray in this temple for gaining excellence in education and speech. People born in Moola star are supposed to visit this temple, and light 5 ghee lamps. Since Lord Shiva has 5 faces, this prayer is aimed at praying him to remove our troubles at least through one of the five faces 
It is believed that whoever worships the presiding deity and Nandhi (vehicle of Lord Shiva) simultaneously at Pradosham hours (4.30 p.m. to 6.00 p.m. each day) standing on the Nava Vyakarna stone, will be cured of all bone and joint related diseases. It is also believed that people would realize their wishes if they pray to Mother Durga for 42 weeks continuously by lighting lamp in the shrine. Here Veerapaleeswarar form of Lord Shiva blesses one to have Vamsa Vrithi or Childbirth and fertility problems if any are sorted out.
