2 Rameswaram s a place where there are 9 Navagraha stones in the
sea at about 100 meters from the shore and it is considered that Sri Ramar
conducted Navagraha poojas here. In the evenings the sea water level is
high and so most of the Navagraha are below the water whereas in the
mornings the sea water level is low and most of them are above the water
level. Just opposite the Nava Bhashanam there is a Perumal temple.
3 Now the time factor between Ramayanam and Bogar of (to) China.
Bhogar was a legendary South Indian siddhar (a mystic, yogi). He was said
to have miraculous powers. Bhogar was a South Indian by birth, belonging to
the caste of goldsmiths, who became a siddha purusha under the guidance of
Kalanginaathar. In Bhogar’s Saptakanda he reveals details of various
medicinal preparations to his disciple Pulippani (so named as he is
believed to have wandered in the forests atop a puli or tiger) and at every
stage he quotes his guru as the authority. Also Pulippani must have been a
young man then, as he is often referred to as a Balaka. It is said that as
per the last wishes of his guru, Bhogar proceeded to China to spread the
knowledge of siddha sciences and his journey is said to have been made with
the aid of an aircraft; he demonstrated to the Chinese the details of the
construction of the aircraft and later built for them a sea-going craft
using a steam engine. (evidence?) The details of these and other
experiments demonstrated by Bhogar in China are clearly documented in the
Saptakanda. Bhogar’s guru, Kalanginaathar, is believed to be a Chinese who
attained siddhi in South India and thus became included among the Eighteen
Siddhars.
Lao Tse - the founder of Taoism (5th century B.C.) was the first
Chinese to propound the theory of duality of matter — the male Yang and
female Yin —(Black and white symbol) which conforms to the Siddha concept
of Shiva - Shakti or positive-negative forces. This very same concept was
first revealed by the adi-siddhar Agasthya Rishi, (Ramayana period) whose
period is as old as the Vedas, which have been conservatively dated at 3500
B.C. Also, alchemy as a science was practiced in China only after B.C. 135 and
was practiced as an art until B.C. 175 when a royal decree was enacted
banning alchemical preparation of precious metals by the Celestial Empire;
these details are recounted in the two existing Chinese books of alchemy
Shih Chi and Treatise of Elixir Refined in Nine Cauldrons, both dated to
the first century B.C. Bhogar anticipated that in the due course of time,
human beings will suffer from a large number of diseases. As an expert in
medicine, he used 4448 rare herbs and made 9 poisonous medicines, mixing
these 9 poisons into one needed great knowledge and skill, to make a Master
Medicine (One medicine to cure all disease).
Tirumular also discuss one such Master Medicine in his book Thiru
Mandiram. With the consultation of Agasthya (Father of Ayurvedic Medicine)
and other Siddhars Bhogar mixed the 9 poisons (Nava Bhashanam) and made the
Master Medicine in the form of Lord Murugan of Palani. Bhogar anticipated

Tiruppullani, located near the town of Ramanathapuram in Tamil Nadu,
India, is an important pilgrimage site, especially for devotees of Lord
Vishnu. The place is famous for the Thiruppullani temple, dedicated to Lord
Adi Jagannatha Perumal (a form of Lord Vishnu). It is believed to be one of
the significant sites connected to the Ramayana and is associated with the
divine incarnations of Lord Vishnu. However, the term "Nava Bhasanam"
typically refers to a set of nine different kinds of sacred or mystical
substances, often connected to rituals or specific practices in Hinduism.
Tiruppullani and the Sea Connection: Tiruppullani holds a very specific
place in religious history. It is believed to be the site where Lord Rama
performed his worship of Lord Vishnu to build the bridge (Rama Setu) to
Lanka. In this sense, Tiruppullani is tied to the sea, given its coastal
location. But there seems to be some confusion or possible mixing of terms
regarding "Nava Bhasanam" being specifically related to the sea.
Traditionally, Nava Bhasanam could refer to mystical or powerful substances
(often related to religious rites) that might not directly correlate to the
sea at Thiruppullani itself. If you are referring to any specific legend of
practice regarding "Nava Bhasanam" in the sea connected to this region, it
could be a local tradition or a unique interpretation of sacred rites tied
to the sea and the spiritual significance of Tiruppullani. {KR: How the
poisonous alchemy Navagraha in the sea where people get in and have the
water on the body as well as inside, could survive? On the contrary the
theertham of Palani Murugan after abhishekam, from the statue after
abhishekam keeps all safe? SURPRISE?} Nava Bhasanam is not directly
mentioned in the Valmiki Ramayana. The practice seems to have emerged as
part of later devotional rituals and local customs that became particularly
significant in regions like Tamil Nadu and around temples dedicated to Lord
Rama and Lord Vishnu. The term might be more connected to post-Ramayana
traditions, especially in the Vaishnavite traditions, rather than the text
itself. The concept of sacred elements, rituals, and purification, however,
is certainly present throughout the Ramayana.

Introduction
The Navapashanam Temple is an ancient Hindu temple, located in
Devipattinam, 70 Kilometers away from Rameshwaram, and 15 kilometers away
from Ramanathapuram district, Tamil Nadu. The temple is one of the three
important shrines mentioned in the Ramayana. It is dedicated to the
Navagrahas (9 planet deities) and was established by Sri Rama as per temple
scriptures. The temple is usually visited on a trip to Rameshwaram. The
temple is considered divine and believed to be in existence from the
Puranic days.
History of Navapashanam Navagrahas Temple
According to the epic Ramayana, Sri Rama was on his way to Lanka to free
Sita Devi from Ravana, the king of Lanka. Before undertaking the journey,
he performed the Vinayaka Pooja in Uppur and the Navagraha Pooja in
Devipattinam. Sri Rama performed the pooja to appease the Graha Devatas and
installed stones just a few meters into the sea. He calmed the high tides
of the volatile sea just by raising his hand. He installed the Navagrahas
called the Navabashanam (stones) in Devipattinam. The nine stones represent
the nine planets.
According to temple legend, Sri Rama wanted to worship Shiva, Parvathi, and
Ganesha before he waged a battle against Ravana, who had abducted his wife,
Sita. After he completed these poojas at Devipattinam, he also wanted to
worship the nine planets (Navagrahas), and hence *he installed nine
different stones to symbolize the nine celestial bodies*. Sri Rama had
installed the stones in the sea by calming the waves and completing his
pooja. *It said that he got rid of the afflictions of planet Saturn at this
temple*.
Another legend associated with Devipattinam is the killing of buffalo demon
Mahishasura by Goddess Parvati at this spot. Mahishasura had received a
boon from Brahma that he could neither be killed by Gods nor man. He then
terrorized all the three realms, which made them go into hiding. The Gods
then gave all their powers and created Goddess Durga (an avatar of Goddess
Parvati). The Goddess then defeated Mahishasura by cutting off his head. Hence
Goddess Durga is also worshipped at this temple for relief from sufferings.
Legend in detail
As per Hindu legend, Ravana, a king, obtained boons from Brahma that he
should be killed by any celestial deity or gods. To slay the demon, Vishnu
took a human avatar Rama. Ravana came to the forest where Rama and Sita
were staying incognito and abducted her. Rama was trying to build a bridge
to Lanka to relieve his wife Sita from Ashokavana, where Ravana held her
hostage. The bridge was proposed to be built from Dhanushkodi, the nearest
point to reach Lanka. Rama started doing pooja seeking favours from Hindu
god Ganesha, as is done first during any Hindu religious worship. The place
where he did the worship is believed to be the Vinayagar temple at Uppur.
The second step for Hindu worship ritual is the Navagraha pooja,
worshipping the nine planetary deities, which was done at Navapashanam.
Rama is believed to have installed the Navagrahas with his own hands
Architecture of Navapashanam Navagrahas Temple
The Navagrahas (9 planetary deities) are located a few meters into the sea
near the shore of the village, and the installed stones represent the nine
planets. The Navagrahas can be seen partly submerged in the sea but close
to the beach, near the bathing ghat of the Thilakeshwar Temple, also called
Navagraha Temple.
Earlier, pilgrims had to walk into the sea to visit the Navagrahas
Temple. Later
a cement bridge was built for connecting the submerged Navagrahas Temple.
Architecture
The nine image of the planetary deities is located in a matrix arrangement
in the Bay of Bengal. There is an entrance arch on the shores and a pathway
100 yd (91 m) long leads to the sanctum. There is a pathway and four step
ways leading to the waters in the four cardinal directions.
There are nine stones planted in square plan in cardinal directions with
the stone at the center indicating the Sun surrounded by eight other
planets. These stones are believed to have been installed by Ram. The
village also houses a temple for Devi following the legend of killing the
buffalo demon Mahishasura and hence the place is called Devipattinam.
Significance of Navapashanam Navagrahas Temple
The temple was installed by Sri Rama, an avatar of Vishnu. *It is believed
that Sri Rama consecrated these deities in the form of stones with a
mixture called Nava Passanam, and hence, these deities are said to have
powers to cure diseases*. Sri Rama was believed to be relieved of the
effects of Saturn (Shani Devta). He was blessed by Shiva and Goddess
Parvati here.
Hindus perform the Tarpanam(religious rites) for their forefathers, and
devotees make it a point to visit the *Thilakeshwar Temple, which is
dedicated to Shiva and Goddess Parvati*, where Shiva is called Thilakeshwar
and Goddess Parvati by the name of Soundaryanayaki. The temple shrine also
houses a beautiful deity of Goddess Durga with eight arms holding weapons.
Devotees offer nine varieties of grains to the Navagraha deities, including
wheat, paddy, pulses, and til. They go around the Navagrahas and offer
prayers. As these deities are depicted as stones, this temple is also known
as Navabashanam (bashanam means stones).
Offering prayers
Offering prayers at the Navagrahas Temple is believed to remove the adverse
effects of planets and suffering caused by them. People take a holy dip in
the sea and offer prayers here to be alienated from the sins of the past
birth, for ancestors to attain Moksh (salvation), and to perform Tarpanam
for ancestors.
Devotees also come here to seek fulfilment of prayers, including marriage
proposals, progeny, education, longevity, and prosperity.
Benefits of Worshipping at Navapashanam Navagrahas Temple
The devotees can perform the various poojas themselves, and it is believed
to bring peace, prosperity, and absolution of sins. Devotees obtain relief
from afflictions caused by the adverse placement of planets in the birth
chart.
Relief from snake related curses- Kaal Sarpa Dosha.
Helps overcome curses of ancestors- Pitru Dosha.
Relief from Sharpit Dosha- Curse due to bad karma of past life.
Festivals Celebrated at Navapashanam Navagrahas Temple

August) and Thai Amavasya (January- February). Over one lakh devotees
throng the temple during the festival.
