1
00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:02,500
This temple is unknown to many people in 
TN

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,100


3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,000
we'll trek for 8 Kms in this deep forest 
to find this temple

4
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:15,900
Saturdays are always special in this temple, 
specifically due to the Purattasi month

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,800


6
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:25,700
many are comparing thesee herb filed hills 
to Thirupathi hills

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,600
the Godmen here told many stories about the 
temple and it has long history dated back 
1500 years ago

8
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:35,500
they said even in British colonising period 
they followed every procedure

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,400
and we'll see about this Thalaimalai's Sajeevi 
perumal temple which is also happens to be 
the ancestory temple for the local villages

10
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:45,300
let's move into video

11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:52,500
first time in my lofe I'm travelling towards 
lord perumal's hills

12
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,400
Welcome back to my channel follow jack and 
now we're at

13
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:00,400
foothills of Thalaimalai Sanjeevi perumal 
temple

14
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:05,300
with me dhanush and maayan also here

15
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,200
so we three will trek and worship perumal

16
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:15,100
this place is located near Musiri village 
and on the side of Neeliampatti village

17
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,000
this village is located 20 Kms from Musiri 
and

18
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:24,900
Thalaimalai is located 5 Kms from there

19
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,800
we can see the foothill temple’s entrance 
here, We saw wonderful scenery while travelling 
at morning 5

20
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:34,700
that vibe was too good and we're started 
to climb the hill

21
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,600
we'll see and learn all the things about 
this temple

22
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:44,500
"calm music"

23
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,400
we have entered via the the Parking area's 
shed

24
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:54,300
they provided this shelter to escape from 
sun's heat

25
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,200
and it aids the pilgrims who try to worship 
the lord

26
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:04,100
we can see a huge statue of Garuda on right

27
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,000
and in this side we can see Krishna

28
00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:13,900
he is one of the avatars of Perumal and near 
that

29
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,800
they have this small temple which can be 
worshipped by people who can’t climb that 
high

30
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:23,700
so they can make use of this

31
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,600
I'm eager to witness that scenery

32
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:33,500
usually this temple is crowded during Purattasi 
month

33
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,400
and you can’t even stand properly in the 
crowd

34
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:43,300
we have this shrine of Lord Hanuman here 
at the parking

35
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,200
and people will enter in this temple after 
worshiping him first

36
00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:54,700
we started the trekking after worshipping 
lord Hanuman

37
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,600
and you can see many small deities along 
the sideways of the path

38
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:04,500
so from that path we need to enter this way

39
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,900
to start the trekking of thalaimalai

40
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:16,200
"calm music"

41
00:03:16,300 --> 00:03:21,100
this is the path we'll climb from the foothill

42
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:26,000
and look at the view off the hill and while 
seeing the drone shot

43
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:30,900
it looks so nice and dense

44
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,800
this pathway for the temple will be opened 
only during Purattasi month

45
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:40,700
I heard that they allow everyone during all 
the time

46
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,600
and we’re here during one fine Saturday

47
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:50,500
and this will be special if you visit here 
and

48
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,600
you can worship in a good way

49
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:59,200
"Pleasant music"

50
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:04,100
so if you can see there are many paths divided 
into two ways

51
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,000
as you can see they have indicated the right 
paths with arrow marks

52
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:13,900
so do check for that andafter 10 minutes

53
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,800
we can found this small idol which is covered 
by a small red cloth

54
00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:23,700
Many worshipped this idol and this is the 
way we came and this one is the way we need 
to go

55
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,600
and if you reached here it means you have 
completed 25% of the trekking

56
00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:33,500


57
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,400
and they tied a red cloth in a rock to make 
it as idol

58
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:43,300
and from 100 meters of that you can find 
this shelter with

59
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,200
idol worshipping for lord Perumal

60
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:53,100
we need to cross, have we finished 25%, right?

61
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
we have went to many hills

62
00:04:58,100 --> 00:05:02,900
like vellingiri, Agasthiyar hills and this 
is the first time I'm climbing Perumal hills

63
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,800
and if you wish something while climbing 
the hills it will become true and it happened 
for me

64
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:12,700
so do wish something while climbing

65
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:20,500
"majestic music"

66
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:25,500
they have these table like structures with 
stones

67
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,400
to sell snacks, water and soda for the climbers

68
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:35,300
- They're speaking that during Saturdays 
of Purattasi month atleast 2 Lakhs people 
will climb the hills

69
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,200
whoa 2 lakhs! - that month will have 4-5 
saturdays

70
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:45,100
- many will come here as this is like ancestral 
God for local people

71
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:50,000
let's learn about the reason why this temple 
got the name Thalaimalai

72
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:54,900
In Sri Lanka while Rama and Ravan are in 
war

73
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,800
Laxman also aided Ram in the war, in this 
time

74
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:04,700
Laxman got injured and to help him

75
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,600
Hanuman took the sanjeevi hills from the 
Himalayas

76
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:14,500
laxman was healed with the herbs extracted 
from it

77
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,400
and Hanuman threw the mountain with joy and 
it was broke into 7 pieces

78
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:24,300
this Thalaimalai is one of the seven pieces

79
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,900
this temple is located at the top of the 
hill

80
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,800
while climbing the hill like this

81
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:37,700
we need to carry water always

82
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,600
the hill path wil have shadows of trees and 
plants like this

83
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:47,500
and we need to take regular breaks on that 
spots, as it's not just about visiting

84
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,400
the experience is more important

85
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:57,300
and there are small spots near those trees

86
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:02,200
I guess those were used to be shops

87
00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:07,100
during the starting month of Purattasi it 
will have many visitors

88
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:12,000
so there may be many shops in that time.

89
00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:16,900
so we have individual resting spots on each 
trees

90
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,800
so they organised the stones well to sit 
and relax

91
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:26,700
while walking for so long it's so chill while 
sitting here

92
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,600
it's so cool here and brother is settled 
there

93
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:36,500
Dhanush mayan is nowhere to see and he left 
somewhere after setting his phone for time-lapse 
for 45 minutes

94
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,600
now he is coming and I can hear his voice

95
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:44,500
me and dhanush left my brother to see a secret 
place inside

96
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,400
this oasis was formed due to thunder, and

97
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:54,300
it's filled with rain water usually but recent 
days it's water levels are considerably low

98
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,700
so we went to see that spot

99
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,600


100
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:07,500
now our path is situated in between two paths

101
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,400
so this mountain looks so majestic looking

102
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:17,300
and that is the spot where the temple is 
located at the peak

103
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,200
and distance looks very low from here

104
00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:27,100
we'll go via this path and when I said it 
looked white like Tajmahal

105
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:32,000
and that shape of the temple also reminds 
me of Tajmahal

106
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:36,900
and there will be a open space where many 
temples are located

107
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,800
they will use that place to shave head bald 
for rituals

108
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:46,700
that place will be reached soon, when did 
you started climbing bro?

109
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,600
you started from yesterday's night?

110
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:56,500
they're providing food and brother told about 
that

111
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,400
he said Lord perumal will have mercy upon 
us

112
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:06,300
I'm starving and haven’t had any food since 
the morning

113
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,200
they said there will be three halls, they 
guy we met was came yesterday and now climbing 
down after staying there for a night

114
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:16,100
we'll have food offerings and will resume 
climbing

115
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:21,000
looks beautiful right?

116
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:25,900
that temple is standing in a small rock and 
looks nice

117
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,800
"calm music"

118
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:35,700
there are 4 ways to reach this temple and 
the way we're going is...

119
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,600
this is another way and this path leds to 
a that village and

120
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:45,500
many are bringing firewood sticks and I asked 
them for why and they said it's for cooking

121
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:50,400
and we can have Pongal up there usually

122
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:55,300
and they're preparing for cooking at 2.30 
PM

123
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,200
they said we can eat at any time here, I'm 
also starving so much

124
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:05,100
they say that this hill is situated 3500ft 
above the sea level

125
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,000
it will take 2 hours for you to reach the 
temple from the foothill

126
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:14,900
I thought something but they have this boards 
in routes

127
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,800
Which shows emergency contact details

128
00:10:19,900 --> 00:10:24,700
it's the contact details of village administration 
office

129
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,600
they're responsible for maintaining the paths

130
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:34,500
this is the Karuppannasaamy temple I told 
you before

131
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,400
this is the spot where 4 ways will join in 
a point

132
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:42,300
I never saw this much people while climbing

133
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:47,200
then I learnt that this temple acts as an 
ancestral temple for the village people around 
here

134
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:52,100
if their prayers got fullfilled

135
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:57,000
they will provide offerings and feast for 
GOD with their family

136
00:10:57,100 --> 00:11:01,900
they also shave heads like Thirupati

137
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,800
- This is auspicious day and they will light 
'deepam' for God

138
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:11,700
okay they will light 'deepam' around 6 PM

139
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,600
- they will provide food for people around 
3 PM, wait and have some food before leaving

140
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:18,600
Okay brother

141
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:27,700
the water supply for the people around here 
is sourced from this Ramar oasis

142
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:32,600
the water levels were upto the top mark but 
due to lack of rains

143
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:37,500
levels are getting low and it may look greenish

144
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,400
but the water tasted so good and sweet

145
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:47,300
they use this water while preparing the offerings 
to make it taste better

146
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,200
Sanjeevi perumal temple is exactly 1 Km from 
this temple

147
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:57,100
and we haven’t heard any sound in our path 
so far

148
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:02,000
we only heard nature sounds like bug sounds 
before coming here but now

149
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:06,900
we can observe festive vibes and

150
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,800
this spot contains a village itself in terms 
of people

151
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:16,700
and there is the temple for Karupanna saamy

152
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,600
he looks so majestic while sitting in that 
horse

153
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:26,500
and they gave food offerings to people

154
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,400
which will last till the morning and this 
looks like village festival

155
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:36,300
only things missing are shops and rides

156
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:41,200
all are speaking in groups and playing games 
like kabaddi

157
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:44,100
it's so nice

158
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:49,000
"majestic music"

159
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:53,900
it's like walking while lost the path in 
unknown dense forest

160
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,800
that vibe in the open field was huge !

161
00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:03,700
this is the path we came and it will be the 
path we'll proceed

162
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,600
it's so close, we'll reach soon but there 
we can find steps and it's in long stretch

163
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:13,500
it looks so steep from here

164
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:22,200
"majestic music"

165
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:27,100
so if you spoted this steps while trekking 
it means you're reached near the temple

166
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:32,000
it looks like 800-1000 steps

167
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:36,900
"majestic music"

168
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,800
so you're the one at the top? - yes it's 
me!

169
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:44,300
[BACKGROUND NOISE]

170
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:49,200
so it's special because it's Saturday? - 
yes and if you come in Purattasi it will 
be more special

171
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:54,100
superb..you all looks vibrant and happy!

172
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:59,000
so as I said saturdays are special here and

173
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:03,900
Purattasi will be more special and they're 
all smiling

174
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,800
next month 2-3K people will visit and I get 
that feeling when I'm here at the top

175
00:14:08,900 --> 00:14:13,700
- we're climbing differently and this view 
also looks good

176
00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:20,300
they're sitting near to me and I'm talking 
like that

177
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,200
and here you can find a shrine for Hanuman 
and

178
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:30,100
they made the foot model of Perumal and

179
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:35,000
we'll reach temple after worshiping this 
spot in 10 minutes

180
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:39,900
you need to drop your footwear from here 
on

181
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,800
because we started to climb

182
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:49,700
we'll climb here and it looks superb, brother 
is waving at us

183
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,600
I want to reach the top and we'll in 10 minutes

184
00:14:56,300 --> 00:14:59,500
this is a shrine of Lord Krishna

185
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,400
and you can observe one flagstaff

186
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:09,300
this spot is so dark and cold

187
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,300


188
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:17,900
now we have reached the temple of Sanjeevi 
perumal and

189
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,800
as I already said, this place got the name 
Thalaimalai as the temple is situated at 
the peak

190
00:15:22,900 --> 00:15:27,700
and the outside wall of this temple

191
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,600
will be crossed by people in circles

192
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:37,500
by doing this many accidents have occurred

193
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,400
and many people followed this as a custom

194
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:47,300
as many lives lossed, authorities prohibited 
this method for the last 4 years

195
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:56,600
about the history part, this temple was built 
by Naayakar kings

196
00:15:56,700 --> 00:16:01,500
this temple existed 1500 years ago even before 
British period

197
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,400
it was told by the godman here and

198
00:16:06,500 --> 00:16:11,300
there was a small window inside and you can 
see a good scenery from there

199
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:16,200
while admiring the beauty of the hills from 
there

200
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:21,100
I was amazed!

201
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,600
"majestic music"

202
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:28,500
I told about the special occasion of lighting 
the 'deepam'. They will light it from here

203
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:33,400
he is bringing me up there, did you light 
one for yourself...he is doing for me!

204
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:38,300
- he ran away from you!

205
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,400
"majestic music"

206
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:46,300
look at the view from here [SPEAKER NOISE]

207
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,200
they will light that thing here? - they will 
place that and will pour oil before lighting 
it

208
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:56,100
how long it will burn? - for a whole night

209
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:01,000
it's so nice to look from here and I'm thankful 
for the boys who brought us here

210
00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:05,900
because they allow people very rarely and

211
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,800
those Godmen told many stories about this 
place

212
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:15,700
it's filled with the legace of 1500 years

213
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,600

214
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:23,200

216
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:33,000

"majestic music"

220
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:56,000
so I hope you liked this video and

221
00:17:56,100 --> 00:18:00,900
my First time experience in thalaimalai was 
so good

222
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,800
and you may see many things when you visit 
here other than the video content

223
00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:10,700
because they opened for all the time and 
while climbing down

224
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,600
we thought it would be good if we can find 
any food

225
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:20,500
so brother gave curd rice in the foot hills,

226
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,600
