Details about Sri Mookambika Devi sent by a sai devotee:

Sri Mookambika (Sri Kollur)

This small, ancient, sacred town is about a four-hour bus ride northeast of

Mangalore. The sacred Sauparnika River flows through the town.Located here is a

temple dedicated to the goddesses Maha-Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Durga, combined

as Mookambika. Sri Devi

Mookambika destroyed the powerful demon Mookasura. There are several other

deities in the temple. There is also a temple dedicated to Lord Krishna here.

Mythology:

Long ago when a demon called Kaumasura obtained a boon from Lord Shiva was

reigning pompously, Kodachadri became the hiding place for all the gods and

divine beings who became helpless against his harassment.

While the Saptarishis were engaged in prayers and poojas to bring about the end

of demon kaumasura, Guru Shukracharya enlightens him about his impending death

at the hands of a woman. Learning this, kaumasura performs an austere penance

to please Lord Shiva. When Lord pleased with his prayers, appears before him

and asks him to name the boon that he wishes, Vagdevi, the Goddess of speech

senses that this could lead to a greater devastation and makes him speechless.

The dumb Kaumasura then becomes unable to verbalise his wishes and then onwards

he is called Mookasura. Soon after, on the request of Kola Rishi, the goddess

creates a mystical power by bringing together the individual powers of all the

gods who had assembled. This Divine Power wages war on Mookasura and brings

about his destruction, thereby granting him salvation. The place where devi

killed Mookasura is known as "Marana Katte".

Since that day, the Goddess has resided at this holy place Kollur by the name

Mookambika, fulfilling the wishes of all her devotees.

Here resides Sreedevi in the Padmasana posture, of a serene countenance, and

with three eyes, bearing always a shankha, a chakra and with a pleasant

appearance as the embodiment of mantra to bless the devotees.

Sairam Brother Deepak,

 

Thank you for sharing these instructions from Swami with us. However,

do you know if other countries in the world are going to follow suit?

I was wondering how we can participate at the individual level wher

we are?? Any thoughts, anyone?

 

with Sai love,

 

Pratik
