The main positive elements in Man are Truth, Dharma, Peace, Love and the Discriminative Intellect. They are depicted symbolically as the Five Pandavas.
We have said earlier that Arjuna is the symbol of the discriminative intellect or Prajna. There is a fierce inner war going in everybody’s bosom. The solution to this problem is to Win the Mind ! Mano Jaya eva Maha Jaya. True mental peace is Bliss, Manasvasthathaiva Ananda !
The Lord is the emblem of the Absolute Self, the Atman in us.
The negative elements in the human mind are the Kauravas ! Only after they are destroyed can we hope to get Self Actualisation ! The great struggle for supremacy is fought in us, between the Spirit and the Flesh, between the bipolarities of Good and Evil, Light and Darkness, Prosperity and Adversity !
May His Grace take us to Immortality or Self Realisation !
The Motherhood Of God, Is the greatest divine concept ! As the Absolute in realm of Thought, All are concepts except Self !
Conceptualism maintains, That all are concepts ! Capitalism, Communism, Essentialism, Existentialism, All are concepts.
Philosophy can be consoling De Consolatione Philosophiae ! Many have benefited, From Philosophy's Consolations ! First Manifestation was Sound, Then the Five Great Elements, WIth their Five Subtle Essences, Issued forth from Absolute Being !
Mind, Intelligence, Processing Mind, Ego All this was created by Thy Satwic Ego The organs of perception and action, Were created by Thy Rajasic Ego !
With Thy Tamasic Ego Thou created This Universe manifold ! A Universe incredible, Mahatbhudha Anir Vachaneeya Roopa !
Thou Art Sound Absolute, Shabda Brahm, And the Base of the Fourfold Veds. O Tri featured, Tri Named and Noble, Nothing is unknown to Thee !

According to Hindu Philosophy, all deities are expressions of the One Ultimate Reality, Brahman. The Deity here is the brother of Lord Rama, Bharatha, known as Sangameshwara. Sangameshwara is a Sanskrit term meaning Koodal Manikkyam in Malayalam.
Koodal means ” Reunion ” and Mythology has it that Rama, Sita and Lakshmana met Bharata here and hence the name. This is the only temple in India consecrated to Lord Bharata, who was Dharma Personified.
Four Temples are dedicated to four major personalites of Ramayana, Lord Rama in Triprayar, Bharata in Irinjalakuda, Lakshmana in Moozhikulam and Shatrugna in Payammal. Darsan at these 4 Temples is considered highly auspicious.
This temple’s Sanctum Sanctorum is covered with copper plates. It is round shaped. Legend has it that Bharata was waiting for Lord Rama and then he heard from Hanuman that Rama had reached Ayodhya and the Deity is in His happiest mood here. A Temple with splendid architectural beauty, this is a Ninth century temple. It is surrounded by vast ponds, four in number. On the Eastern side, there is Kuttam Kulam and on the Western side, Kulpini Theertham. Legend and foklore says that Kulpini Maharshi performed severe penance here.
This Temple is the center of temple arts like Ottam Thullal, Koodiyattam, Kathakali and Koothu.

The temples in Kerala perform five Pujas and conduct three Seevelis per day, in general. But here there are only three Pujas and Seevelis are performed only during the Arattu festival.
The main offering here is the lotus garland or Thamaramala. It is generally believed that this offering can make the Deity shower His blessings on any project undertaken.

Seven elephants wear Swarna Nettipattam ( headdress made up of pure gold ) and the rest ten elephants wear Velli Nettipattam ( headdress made of pure silver ). Sacred Music or Panchari Melam enliven the proceedings !

All deities are Brahman, the Absolute and the Eternal Law is monotheistic.
Esoteric Symbolism behind Temples.
The outer wall of the Temple represents our gross physical body, Sthoola Sareera, the inner wall represents our subtle physical body, the Sookshma Sareera and the inmost wall represents our causal body, the Karana Sareera. And the Deity within is our own Self !
That is why a Yogi installed a Mirror in one Temple !
Am I a God then ? Yes, in these pure features I behold Creative Nature to Soul unfold
