Hey guys, while driving through the busy roads of Chennai city, I saw something very strange. There was a small temple which has plenty of new vehicles parked all around it. Look ,these are brand new vehicles, probably just bought today. Why are these cars and motorcycles parked in front of this temple? What is the name of the deity inside? His name is Bodyguard Muneeswaran, I am serious this is the actual name of the deity, and this temple is also called Bodyguard Muneeswaran temple, you can see it on the sign board.
Why would a Hindu God be called "Bodyguard Muneeswaran", how can it have the English prefix Bodyguard attached to it? What is the story behind this? I have never seen anything like this, so I decided to go into the temple and see what was happening. Even though this is a very small temple, it is one of the most crowded temples in the city, I am told it is always full of people. There are no fabulous carvings or pillars, in fact the roof is made of modern materials. This temple is no more than a 100 years old.
Inside, there is an extremely small chamber which houses a very small statue. It is a manly figure with a large moustache. The idol is about one foot tall and is enclosed within a simple metal gate. This is the famous "Body Guard Muneeswaran".
The main priest here does not perform the usual rituals held in other temples, this priest does something very unique. He will ask for your vehicle keys. The keys of your cars or motorcycles must be given to the priest. He collects the keys from everyone and puts them at the feet of "Bodyguard Muneeswaran." And each vehicle owner must also give a lemon and this lemon has a unique purpose, which I will show you in a minute. The priest will now ask you to pray for an accident free life. People believe that body guard Muneeswaran not only protects the vehicle's body but the human body as well. Is this the end of the rituals?
