The aradhana of Sadasiva Brahmendral is on, with the main rituals slated for May 7.
Set in the serene surroundings of lush green fields, made fertile by the quiet flowing Cauvery, Nerur in Karur district is located the samadhi of Avadutha Sri Sadasiva Brahmendral, a jivan mukta of the 18th century who rendered divine verses besides producing a masterpiece on Brahma Vidya.
It is said that he attained videha mukti at Nerur, Manamadurai, and in far-off Karachi, simultaneously.
After heaving myself onto unruly rocks and trekking to a windswept fort, it's time for a change of scene.
For ages, Nerur has been known only to locals and those who venerate the 18th Century saint Sadasiva Brahmendrar (his samadhi is near the banks of the river).
We take the longer route from Velayudhampalayam (20 km away, through Vaangal) and drive through paddy fields, groves of coconut and fragrant betel leaves, swaying fields of korai grass, banana plantations and village after village where harvesting is on.
