One of the 63 Nayanamars called Pusalar
Pusalar
Pusalar was a Brahmin of Tiruninravur in Thondai Mandalam. He believed in the mental worship of the Lord shiva because mental worship is thousands of times better than external ritualistic worship. Mental worship soon leads to samādhi and Self-realisation.-Legend:Pusalar strongly desired to build...

. In the olden Thondai Nadu is the town ThiruninRavUr, which had the disciplined people of vedic knowledge living. For the Homeless Lord who gives refuge to one who surrenders he wanted to build a beautiful abode. He never thought of his financial capacity. All that was in his mind was somehow to build an abode for the Immortal Beauty that stole away his heart. He tried his best to gather the money required from wherever he could but he could not get enough. He was quite disappointed.

The king of the Pallava state in his intent to serve the Lord of kailash by building him a temple of architectural excellence built one such temple in the capital city Kanychi. He fixed a date in consultation with the pundits suited for the holy installation in the temple. The Lord who beautifully wears the bunch of konrai flowers came in the dream of the king and told him that the next day he would enter the great abode that Pusalar

 of Thirunindravur did out of a long time sincere effort and asked the king to fix the date for the sanctification on some other later date. The Lord's play to exhibit the pure and dedicated effort of the devotee inspired the king who built a temple that stands for the sculptural beauty for ages. The king wanted to see and salute the reverend devotee Pusalar who did the coveted service that Lord Himself is waiting to enter that place. The king went to Thirunindravur and inquired there about the temple Pusalar built. But he got the reply that there was no temple built by any devotee called Pusalar in that town. The king called the vedic chanters of the town. When he asked them about Pusalar Nayanar they told him that a flawless devotee by name Pusalar was living in that town. The king of that vast land to whose summon many small kings are waiting to come did not want to call the devotee to the place where he was, but went himself to salute the devotee.

The king asked Nayanar with folded hands where the superior temple he built for Eight armed Lord was and as he came to know from the Lord Himself that it was the day when the Supreme enters the abode he, wanted to salute. The simple devotee of mountain high devotion was full of fear and gratitude mixed emotions that the Lord whose sacred feet are difficult to be seen for even Vishnu and Brahma told that he would come to reside in the abode on that specified day considering even his love! The tears of love from his eyes were there to make the place more holy. He explained the king the way he wanted to build a magnificent abode for the Lord and the financial problems because of which he went ahead with building the abode he wanted in his thoughts itself. The king wondered what a glorious thing is the love of the flawless devotees! He prostrated the Nayanar in all humbleness and returned to his capital. The great devotee as planned completed the installation of the Lord in the splendid abode he built for the Lord whose main abode is the minds of the servants who offer flowers and prostrate him with the face wet in tears. The worship for the Simple Lord Shiva who wears skulls and snakes went for ever in a grand fashion as told in the scriptures till Nayanar reached the holy feet of the Lord who danced in the abode he built. Let the determination and completeness of devotion because of which in spite of the material hurdles Pusalar Nayanar succeeded in His service that the Supreme appreciated stay in the mind
