Fwd: [4brahmins] Visit to some little known temples around Chenglepat

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

This is a must read for all the members in the group:

 

A new travelogue has been posted in Raju's Temple Visits

1) Shiva temple at Edamacheri near Salavakkam

 

 

 

Around a 24 year old girl, single handedly, is taking up the renovation of a

few centuries old Shiva temple putting all her (small) wealth. While several

people are struggling to bring up Shiva temples, this girl is bringing up

this temple at an amazing pace. She is talking, fighting, loving, crying

with Shiva as her father.

 

 

 

2) Gidankarai Shiva temple

 

 

 

As if this 24 year old girl is no big surprise, just a few kms away, at a

place called Gidangari, a 12 year old girl is performing the daily poojas /

pradhosha abhisheham to a Shiva lingam peeping through from the bottom of

two massive tamarind trees.

 

 

 

3) Sundara Mahalakshmi Temple at Arasar koil

 

 

 

· Mother Sundara Maha Lakshmi is the Mother of all wealth and

treasures. This form of the Mother is Aadhi Moola Lakshmi - the root form of

all 64 Lakshmi avatars (each one governing one of the 64 forms of wealth,

well being and prosperity)

 

· This is a Kubera Sampath Shakti Temple and Mother Sundara

MahaLakshmi brims with billions of Kubera Shaktis, Aishwarya Shaktis, Sukra

shaktis, treasure shaktis and prosperity shaktis.

 

· She controls Shukra's power to bestow prosperity and Shukra

worships at this shrine every Friday without fail. What form he might assume

is beyond human comprehension, but he is one of the visitors to this shrine

every Friday.

 

· Sundara Mahalakshmi mesmerizes the devotees with her 'chubby

cheeks' like a baby. Especially, sitting in the Padmasana Lotus posture with

both hands in abhaya hastham, the real meaning of `Sundaram – the beauty'

will be understood.
