Annadanam seva at ThiruKaruKavur and KaruValarCheri

 

January 9, 2012

Annadanam seva was performed by Pune Sringeri Shankara Math at Sri Garbha Rakshambika Kshetra at Thiru-Karu-Kavur and Shri Akhilandeshwari temple at Karu-Valar-Cheri. Both the temples are in Thanjavur district, Tamil Nadu.

Divine Mother, Shri GarbhaRakshambika blesses devotees for marriage, conception and thereafter safe and easy delivery. Ishwara Shri Madhavi Vaneshwar is Swayambhu. There is no abhishekam for the Shivalingam. Only “punugu” is applied.

Shri Akhilandeshwari at karuvalarcheri is also swayambhu. The idol below the neck is made of earth and considered to represent the uterus of the cosmos. She nurtures the foetus during pregnancy. Here, the abhishekam is for the Ishwara and “punugu” is applied for the Divine Mother.

With the Grace of the Jagadguru, annadhanam Seva was conducted by the Pune math at both these temples during the month of Kartika.

  • The Self (Atma) is never born nor does It ever die; neither does It cease to exist after having once existed nor does the Self come into existence, like the body, having not existed before. Unborn, eternal, It undergoes no change whatsoever and is primeval; It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • A person who hears about the condemnation of another incurs sin. What need be said about the sin incurred by a man who actually engages in nit picking? Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Prabodha Sudhakara
  • If you pray with faith and devotion, the Lord will certainly listen to your earnest prayers. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Our nation and its culture have a hoary past and we should all be proud of it. Mere aping of the West is not beneficial for us. For example, care of aged parents is something that has come down to us traditionally and we must never neglect this duty by imbibing concepts of some free societies, wherein concern for one’s own parents is at low ebb. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is a great blunder not to make proper use of the body and mind that has been given to us by God. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
