Description The name Krusadai may symbolically
mean Lord Shiva with matted locks - as a
manifestation of Lord Dakshinamurti. The
exact meaning of the word Krusadai is
difficult to fathom . 'Kru' (as a corrupt form
of 'Kuru' may also mean short or abridged)
is perhaps wrongly spelt for Guru meaning
Teacher or Mentor. (in Tamil,in both ways
'Kru' or 'Guru', it could be written).
Assuming its Tamil version of the word 'Kru'
to mean Guru = i.e ., 'Mentor' or Nestor - and
'Sadai' meaning matted locks, we can
visualise the picture of Lord Dakshinamurti.
In its serene atmosphere, the place is
veritably ' an eternal abode for silent
meditation. Lord Dakshinamurti is
known to teach and dispel all doubts
of 'sishayas' or disciples by transmitting
the lessons of discourses and answers and
replies to doubts raised ''through thought
waves" in eloquent silence and in eternal
bliss, when and where speech becomes
superfluous!
