Kollur Is One of the Seven Mukti Sthalams of Parasurama Kshetras Situated in Karnataka Kollur Kollur is one of the seven Mukti Sthalams of Parasurama Kshetras situated in Karnataka. The other holy centres are Udupi, Subramanya, Kumbasi, Kodeshwara, Sankaranarayana and Gokarna. The sacred shrine of Devi Mookambika is at the foot of a hill known as Kudashatri. River Sowparnika, originating in the hill, flows by the side of the temple. Yogis and rishis have performed penance on this holy soil. Skanda Purana speaks about the glory of this Maha Aranyapuram, where a sage by name Kola did penance. Devi Adi Shakti, who vanquished demon Mookasura, was extolled by the Devas as Mookambika. Devi Shakti appeared before Sri Adi Sankara too in this Kudashatri hills. The Swayambu Lingam with a golden rekha in the middle is worshipped as Siva-Shakti Swaroopa. The devout believe that all the three Shaktis - Mahakali, Mahasaraswathi and Mahalakshmi - are enshrined in this sacred idol of Mookambika. The Panchaloha idol of the Devi was installed by Sri Adi Sankara himself. He prescribed the various rituals and puja rites for worship and installed Sri Chakra before the Goddess. The Devi is in Padmasana posture holding Shanku and Chakra, and is showing Abhaya Varada Mudra. The images of Kali and Saraswathi are enshrined near Mookambika. 1 / 5 Kollur The Sankara Simhasanam, a stone peetam in the shrine, is revered highly by devotees. Sri Adi Sankara used this place for meditation. Devotees meditate here and seek the Guru's blessings. An Anjaneya idol installed by Sri Vadi Raja, Lord Veerabhadra, Naga and Subramanya have separate shrines. A marble idol of Vinayaka with ten hands is enshrined on the southern prakara. The divine atmosphere that prevails in and around the shrine soothes one's mind with spiritual fervour and unfathomable quetitude. The hill Kudashatri has some excellent places for pilgrims to explore. Ambavanam and Chitramoolam, a cave, are believed to be places where Sri Adi Sankara did tapas. The waters of Sowparnika are said to possess medicinal properties and a bath in the river refreshes one's mind and body. Shukla Theertham is a tank one km away. There is a shrine of Sri Siddeswara. Access: Mangalore 146 km; Udupi 88 km; Kundapur 42 km. Kumbasi (8 km from Kundapur): According to Puranas, Gautama Rishi, who was doing penance in this land, was harassed by an asura by name Kumba. Pandavas, who were here on a pilgrimage, came to his rescue. Bheema invoked Lord Vinayaka, got a sword and vanquished the demon. Lord Vinayaka is a Swayambu Murthi and is in standing posture. There is a small shrine in the midst of the temple tank, which has Surya Pushkarni on the one side and Chandra Pushkarni on the other side. There are images of Hari and Hara and the Kamandala of sage Gautama. Pujas are offered to the Kamandala as Devi Ganga is believed to 2 / 5 Kollur be present in it. Kodeshwara (5 km from Kumbasi): Lord Brahma is believed to have performed penance and had darshan of Lord Siva as Kotilingeswara. In the sanctum, the Lingam is enshrined in a shallow Peetam. There are shrines for Vinayaka, Parvati and Ardhanareeswara. Koti Theertham is the sacred water. The main festival is on Full Moon day during Nov-Dec. Sankaranarayana (24 km from Kodeshwara): The shrine of Lord Sankaranarayana is on the banks of Varahi river. A sage by name Kroda was doing penance here to have darshan of Hari and Hara in one form. There are two Swayambu Lingams in the sanctum. According to another legend, Siva and Vishnu appeared here to vanquish Kara and Ratta, demon brothers. There are separate shrines for Sri Venugopal, Subramanya and Panchamukha Anjaneya. A rare feature in this temple is that water is perennially seeping from the sanctum and prakaram. Theerthams: Agni Theertham is near the sanctum. Bhargava Theertham and Koti Theertham are outside the temple. Kroda Theertham is yet another sacred water on the hill. Gokarna (170 km from Mangalore): This is the sacred abode of Atma Lingam, brought by Ravana from Mount Kailas. When he was carrying it to Lanka, Devas tried to stop him. Vinayaka came to their rescue. He appeared before Ravana as a Brahmachari boy. When Ravana gave the Atma Lingam to the boy to hold it, Vinayaka kept it on the ground, and it got rooted. Even Ravana could not remove it. Hence the Devas named the Lingam Mahabaleshwar. The shrine faces west. Gokarna is hailed as one of the Parasurama Kshetras as the sage hurled his axe from here to redeem the land from sea. According to Puranas, at the time of Creation of the World, Lord Siva emerged from the ears of Bhoomidevi at this spot. Hence the Lingam that appeared here came to be known as Adi Gokarna (Go means Earth and Karna means ear). The sanctum of Mahabaleshwar reveals only a 3 feet by 3 feet square Saligrama Peetam. There is a golden rekha on the Peetam and a 3 / 5 Kollur small hole in the middle, through which one can have a glimpse of the Siras of Atma Lingam. The six-foot-tall Lingam inside can be seen only once in 40 years when the Ashta Bhandana Kumbabhishekam is held. In this temple, devotees are allowed to perform puja toAtma Lingam. Other shrines: Chandikeswara, Vinayaka, Adi Gokarneswara and Dattatreya have separate shrines. Devi Parvati is enshrined behind the main temple. She is known as Thamra Gowri. An image of Lord Ganesha is installed outside the temple. A small dent visible on His head is said to have been caused when Ravana hit Him. Devotees congregate here for Sivaratri festival. Koti Theertham is the sacred tank. It is customary to have a sea bath here, make a Lingam out of sand and offer worship before proceeding to the temple. Pilgrims perform Shraddha for their ancestors on the shores of Gokarna. There are four other Siva shrines around Gokarna, together known as Pancha Maha Kshetras. They are Sejjeshwara, Gunavanteshwara, Murudeshwara, Dhareshwara and Mahabaleshwara. Sadhasringagiri: Indranila mountain to the east of Himalayas is the abode of Lord Vishnu, Mount Kailas is the abode of Lord Siva and Sadhasringagiri betwen the two is the abode of Lord Brahma. According to a legend, once an enraged Garuda uprooted this hill and flew down south. While the divine bird was flying over Gokarna, the weight became unbearable. Sage Agastya came to his rescue and got the hill dropped in the sea here. The hill picturesquely rises on the southern side of the sea. The scenic beauty is a feast to the eyes of the nature-lover. Situated on the hill is a shrine for Rama, Sita and Lakshmana. Manikeswara and Siddeswara are also enshrined. Pandavas are said to have visited this place, and hence the other name Pandavakudi.

  • Sri Chakra the Source of the Cosmos
    Sri Chakra The Source of the Cosmos The Journal of the Sri Rajarajeswari Peetam, Rush, NY Blossom 9 Petal 1 October 2005 Temple Firsts Ourour thoughtsthoughts By Kamya Ramaswamy Dear Devotees, I’ve always thought the best things arose out of curiosity, although the more negative among us seem to believe it’s what killed the cat. Curiosity, mixed with a little intelligence and bravery, is what gets our questions answered and it’s what makes us smarter and bolder in the end. It fuels our need for learning. A hunger for answers about a host of topics was also what fueled the revival of The Sri Chakra magazine. It started with Vijitha and I sitting around in the temple yajnashala on a Saturday night, throwing questions back and forth at each other that we were too embarrassed to bother Aiya with. These were not only questions about spirituality, but also how to reconcile our spirituality with the pressures and culture of living in the West. Just how damaging (if at all) are egg-mixed foods to one’s body? If gold is so important for Hindus, why is a state of detachment from material objects so valued? If social drinking is a no-no, what is the deal with the viseshargyam in Sri Chakra puja? (I hear Bagalamukhi puja requires a straight shot of brandy!) Maybe it was the late hour that contributed to the philosophical turn of the conversation, but we knew others in the temple would be just as curious as we were about the answers to these questions.

  • Smart Analytics of Social Networking Trends
    Vinaa Venkatesham Nanaatho Nanaathah Sai Venkatesh Balasubramanian Sree Sai VidhyaMandhir, Mallasandra, Bengaluru-560109, Karnataka, India. [email protected] Abstract After a brief glimpse into the „mysteries‟ and legends associated with the deity of Tirumala, this article focuses on Venkateshwara, the Lord of this sacred site, understanding Him to be the Kali Yuga Varada, or the source of solace and salvation in the present era of Kali. Looking further, one finds within the deity, aspects of the six major deities of the Shanmata tradition, as well as the Guru. This is visualized through the concept of Spiritual Altitude, depicted as the „spiritual hill‟ of Govindaadri. This leads to the Lord being called as “Eka-Moorthy”, containing all divinity within Himself. As an extension to that thought, the article then discusses on the 108 sacred sites of Shanmata, called the Kshetra-Ashtottara, and how one can, merely contemplating upon Venkateshwara, perform a virtual „Kshetraadanam‟ to these sites. This visualization is termed “Eka Kshetra-Ashtottara Moorthy” (EKAM). Reconciling this concept with Govindaadri using the Panchaayatana concept leads to yet another visualization, termed “Pancha-EKAM”. In summary, this article elaborates upon a series of inquiries, thoughts and revelations to the author, regarding the nature of the Lord Venkateshwara, in various levels of Spiritual Altitudes, which are essentially measures of Spiritual Inclusivity. The most important observation and value- add from these discussions is that Tirumala of Venkateshwara is indeed the most sacred Kshetra of Baalaa Tripurasundari, who is the very special form of the Universal Mother Ambika, manifest with the core intention of “Kali Yuga Varadha”.

These entities have magnificent absorbtive capacity. Innumerable external influences and internal pulls and pressures notwithstanding, the core of the thought and psyche remains intact. That is why the spirit of Tirtha Yatras is undying. Those who feel that following all of the principles of Dharma in essence may be difficult and even impractical in modern times, Tirtha visits as and when possible and practical could be refreshing escape routes from monotony and alternative means of „Punya and Purushartha‟.

  • The Saivite Shrine of Ernakulathappan Is Popular. the Lingam Is Said to Have Been Worshipped by Arjuna
    Ernakulam The Saivite shrine of Ernakulathappan is popular. The Lingam is said to have been worshipped by Arjuna. Ayyappankavu, Devi, Krishna and Subramanya shrines are other important temples around. Aluva, formerly Alwaye (21 km from Ernakulam): Sivaratri is celebrated on the banks of river Periyar for the Lingam on the sandbed. Sri Poornathrayeesa temple, Tripunithura: Lord Krishna, seated on Adi Sesha, is said to have been installed by Arjuna.
