It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

2. Siddhalingamadam, is a village on the Southern bank of the sacred river South Pennar. The holy hill of Arunachala casts its glow on it. The very name of the village is suggestive of its association with Siddhas.
3. Siddhalingamadam was once a forest in the midst of which there was a beautiful Siva Linga. According to legend, a great Siva Yogi became the Siva Linga. It was discovered accidentally by a king when he came for hunting.
4. The Siva temple is known as Vyaghrapadeswara because the Sage Vyaghrapada, on his way to Chidambaram, worshipped Lord Siva in this temple.
5. The first temple built enshrining the Siva Linga was of mud and wood. Later, between 907 and 914 AD, the temple in stone was constructed
6. The temple of Siva has more than seventy stone inscriptions bearing evidence of its great antiquity.
7. The temple was completely renovated during the period of Kulottunga Chola I. A prakara was added surrounded by a grove of Aracanut trees and mandapa in the Siva temple. The second Prakara of the temple with the shrine of Divine Mother Neela Visalakshi, was also constructed in the same period.
8. It was during the reign of Rajaraja Chola I, that the beautiful vigraha of Nataraja was installed (1013 AD).
9. A shrine for Kshetrapala Pillayar was constructed by a Brahmin devotee. There is a beautiful temple car with exquisite carvings.
11. Sadguru Gnanananda, arrived at Siddhalingamadam in 1942 and stayed at a place adjacent to the temple. He was attracted to the kshetra by the subtle presence of siddhas and the special spiritual energy of the ancient temple of Sri Vyaghrapadeswara.
12. The residents of the village have come forward to take up the arduous task of renovation of this temple of great antiquity. They approached Pujya Sri Swami Nityananda Giri of Sri Gnanananda Thapovanam with the request that the devotees of Sadguru Gnanananda might sponsor the construction of a Rajagopuram as a superstructure over the existing kalharam . The temple was subject to severe neglect for a very long time due to absence of Royal patronage.
13.
14. Centuries ago, the supporting structure ( kalharam ) for the Rajagopuram at the entrance of the temple was constructed. But the superstructure of Rajagopuram was not built.
15. A three tier Rajagopuram similar to the one of Kilaiyur Veerattana temple at Tirukoilur, was constructed after the approval of the drawings by the architect of HR & CE Board.
17. As the pandal covering the painted Rajagopuram has not yet been removed, we are not able to add a picture with the general view of the painted Gopuram.

58. After this procedure, the Sthapati dismantled the existing D vajasthamba and prepared a new Teakwood core to be installed.
59. Once the carpentry work was completed, the copper kavacham was prepared. When the copper cladding ( kavacha) was assembled, the energy stored in the tirtha kalasa was retransmitted to the Dvajasthamba again.
60. Once the log was made ready, the bottom extreme was painted with a protecting primer and covered with lead sheet. The nails that hold the lead sheet are of copper.
61. A new pit was arranged. On 18 th August the core of the new Dvajasthamba was placed in position following all the required procedures prescribed in the Agamas .
