DEVI KAMAKSHI
One of the most important aspect of Devi Parashakti was Dakshayani (Sati) who was born after
intense prayers by the King Daksha and his consort Queen Prasuti. Dakshayani got married to Lord
Shiva inspite of her fathers dislike for Lord Shiva. Legend has it that inspite of Lord Shiva not giving
his permission for Sati to attend her fathers Yagna, she still went there but only to hear her fathers
heaps of insults about her husband Lord Shiva. Unable to bear the insults and recognising that she
could not return back to her husband, whose permission she had not obtained, she cursed her
father Daksha and jumped into the Dakshas yagna immolating herself.
Lord Shiva, extremely angry, intuitively grasped the turn of events, rushed to the yagna site, picked
up the body of his wife Sati on his shoulders and started dancing the Tandava Nritya or the dance
of destruction, which threatened to consume the universe. In order to calm Lord Shivas anger,
Lord Vishnu despatched the Sudarshan Chakra which cut Satis body to 51 pieces which then fell
on different parts of earth which we now recognise as Shakti Peetam. Devi Kamakshi temple in
Kanchipuram is where the navel of the Goddess fell and thus is called the Nabhi Sthanam. There
is also another legend that Goddess Kamakshi successfully performed intense penance here to
obtain Lord Shiva as her consort once again on earth.
The temple contains five sources of intense energy and power in the form of :
1) Bilakasham: This is source from where the Devi Kamakshi has taken a form. Thus Goddess
Kamakshis birthday is celebrated during the Month of Aippasi in the nakshatram of
Purvaphalguni, by performing abhishekam of about 1,008 litres of milk to the bilakasham.
2) Tapas Kamakshi: The Mother Kamakshi is found performing intense penance standing on fire
on her left leg and the right leg folded to touch her navel.
3) The main idol of Devi Kamakshi sitting in padmasan with 4 hands
4) Yoni Peetam in front of the Devi Kamakshi, in which we still find the Sri Chakram carved by
Sri Adi Sankara himself to mollify the urgra form of the Devi Kamakshi.
5) Bangaru Kamakshi: The word Bangaru means Gold. This Golden Kamakshi was located in
a separate shrine within the Kamakshi Temple. During the Muslim invasion about 250 years
back, the Kanchi Sankaracharya, at that time, took this idol to safety and went to Tanjavur
under the invitation of the King. The Bangaru Kamakshi was installed in a temple there and till
this date daily pooja is being performed. The Mahakumbhabhishekam of the Bangaru Kamashi
temple took place on March 23, 2017.

The Mahakumbhabhishekam of the Kamakshi temple took place on 9th, February 2017, with the blessings of Hh Sri Jayendra Saraswati Swamiji and Hh Sri Sankaravijayendra Saraswati Swamiji.

SRI ADI SANKARA BHAGAVADPADACHARYA

Sri Adi Sankara Bhagavadpadacharya (509 BC ~ 477 BC) was
born in Kaladi, Kerala to a brahmin couple, Shivaguru and his
wife Aryamba, by the grace of Sri Lord Vadukunathar, on Vaishaka
Shukla Panchami (5th day) Sunday, 509 B.C., Nandana Samvatsara,
in the constellation Punarvasu, and in the lagna of Dhanus. He
travelled throughout Bharatam to propagate the preservation
of the Vedas and to re-establish the philosophy of Advaitam or
Absolute Monism.
Adi Sankara established four Shishya mutts around the four corners
of India and finally established the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam,
Kanchipuram, becoming its first Guru. The establishment dates of
the various Mutts are as follows:
1. Dwaraka Mutt 490 B.C.
2. Jyotir Mutt 485 B.C.
3. Govardhana Mutt 484 B.C.
4. Kudali-Sringeri Mutt 483 B.C.
5. Kanchi Kamakoti Mutt 481 B.C.
At the age of 32, Adi Sankara ascended the Sarvagna Peetam at the
Kamakshi Temple in Kanchipuram and later attained samadhi there
itself merging himself with Goddess Kamakshi. His Adhistanam or
Samadhi Stal is located in the outer praharam of the Kamakshi
Temple at Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu.
Birthplace of Sri Adi Sankaracharya:
It is well known that Adi Sankaracharya was born at Kaladi, Kerala.
It has been the age old tradition for the pregnant mothers to
give birth to their first child at their parents house. Similarly Sri
Sankaras mother went to her parents house and gave birth to
Sri Adi Sankaracharya at her mothers ancestral house. Chinmaya
International Foundation is maintaining Mother Aryambas
ancestral house located in Veliyanad at Edakkattuvayal village,
Ernakulam, Kerala. This area in Ernakulam was in Kaladi which was
encompassing all these regions (Ernakulam etc) in those days,
which later got broken / separated and renamed as Veliyanad etc.
