We all know that in Chidambaram there is a shrine for Govinda Raja, which was removed by Kulothunga chola, later reinstalled by Krishnappa naick of Senji in 1597. This we know.
Now The fact news in detail
There was a discourse at a meeting hall between Appayya Dikshiha and Gatikachalam Koti kanya Dhan Thathacharya in A.D..1560..with a bet that the defeated person to join the opponent’s religion and if Tatacharya wins he will install the Govinda Raja in Chidambaram, and if Appaya Dikshiha wins , Thatha charya will join Saivaism and will not install the Govinda Raja idol. In which Thathacharya applied some third degree method and fraudulent tactics applied on Appaya Dikshiha, and other Chidambaram Dishidar and Thathacharya declared won and as per the agreement, Dikshiha should convert to Vaishanavism and permit the Vaishnavaites to install the Govindha raja idol in Chidambaram Temple.(Where Rama Raya was ruling)[FONT="][1][/FONT]
But Dikshiha didn't accept the foul play and left for Vijaya Nagara along with his 500 Sishyas. But Thathacharya didn't permit Dikshiha to meet the king.
Dishidar has sent a letter thro his pupil to the king and mentioned Thathacharya is preventing him from meeting the king, and the King sent full honors to Dishidar and received him in the court with Royal salute.
Here Dishidar explained the king how he was cheated/ duped by Thathachaya.
King at once asked both Dikshiha and Thathacharya to take an argument, and the looser will embarrass the winner’s caste.
Both agreed and in this Dishidar declared won and as per the word Thathacharya should Join Saivasim.
But at this stage the King took back foot and asked Dishidar to apologies Thathacharya and permit him to stay with Vaishavim.
The Erection of a Sannadhi for Govindaraja Perumal was stopped and the shrine created for Him was destroyed.
The king along with his Gurus Dishidar and Thathacharya went to Srirangam, and here as per the suggestion from Dishidar, the Raya appointed Sadasivan as next king for South.
Dishidar left for Vrinchipuram and Thathacharya left for Kanchipuram[FONT="][2][/FONT].
After this the vaishavaites in Chidambaram took a vow that they will install the Govinda raja idol in Chidambaram Nataraja temple and seek the assistance from Krishnappa Nacikan, who is famous for lifting his Gun and who constructed the Ramar temple at Senji.
So Krishnappa Naick in 1598 as per the advice from his Vaishanavites took revenge on back door method .and were ready to face any sin due to this.
The Dishidars of Chidambharam refused admission for that Perumal, and threatened to kill them selves by jumping from the Gopuram if the Perumal re enters in that shrine. But Krishnappa Nayak was firm on his decision and constructed the room and brought in the statue.
At that time all the Dishidars climbed on the Gopuram and jumped and committed suicide. The number is 20.
Then Krishnappa Nayak ordered his gun men to shoot the gang of Dishidars in which 2 died along with a woman[FONT="][3][/FONT].
All the vaishanavites were just watching this and never came forward to stop that.
During 1608 A.D. to 1678 for 70/80 years the idol of Nataraja from Chidambharam was shifted to Tiruvāllur.(Kadappa Navab period) and reinstalled in 1680 when Satrapathis' father Bonsle was visiting South India . Tanjore king Bonsle gifted 12,000 pons to the Gold![FONT="][4][/FONT]
But in the book it is mentioned that Saka 1600 which is a mistake. If Saka 1600 then it will be AD 1678 and the period of Bonsle, the father of Sivaji was 1678A.D.
So the Saka print is a mistake.
So the Dikshidars must have removed the idol of Sabhapathy from Chidambaram and kept in Trivālore for Eighty years and reinstated in A.D.1678!
