This Temple was founded by H H Swami Chinmayananda, a Titan in Vedanta and Yoga and who expounded Advaita Vedanta, the philosophical system of Monism. He founded centers worldwide for the propagation of the Saastras of the Eternal Law. He was a great scholar in Sanskrit and one of the best orators in English and millions attended his lectures. He used to conduct Geetha Jnana Yajnas and he was known as a Geetha expert by millions !
There was a Yogi who said
Karma is greater than God !
To illustrate this principle, there is the story of Elarata Saturn afflicting
Lord Vishnu.
Once Lord Vishnu was afflicted by the dreaded 7.5 Saturnine cycle. By His Yogic
powers He reduced the 7.5 years to 7.5 Nadis or Nazhikas ( 3 hours ). He assumed
the shape of a frog and sat in a hole. Unfortunately it started to rain. The
owner of the house came with a stick and began to prod the frog, as the frog in
the hole was blocking water flowing out. So, for 7.5 Nadis or 3 hours, Lord
Vishnu had to bear the brunt of the prodding stick !
Even the gods are not above Elarata Saturn !
So, when suffering afflicts us, we have to understand that it is Karma
exhausting itself. Combustion is Passion ( Passion of the Redeemer ), Combustion
is Crucifixon, wherein the rebounding Karma catches the aspirant unawares !
