Navasakthi Kamakshi Amman - 3 August 2011

OM SRI NAVASAKTHI KAMAKSHI THUNAI

Shakthi is the dynamic part of the Supreme that operates. One among those shakthi is Sri Navasakthi Kamakshi Peedam which is located in Madipakkam near Madipakkam lake. Grandiose Kamakshi deity was founded by Shri and Srimathi Radha Sethuraman (Fondly known as Radha Amma).

Radha amma was born as 4^th daughter to Swaminathan and Alamelumangai in a middle class family in Keevalur village near Thiruvavoor. She was married to Mr. Sethuraman and living in Madipakkam. She is a staunch devotee of Shakthi. Being a house wife, she was performing lots of pujas and aradhanas at home. Some years ago, she undertook recital of Lalitha Sahasarananam for 48 days and during that period Ambal came in the dream of Radha amma and asked her to build a temple for Goddess Kamakshi. Place for the temple, temple layout, image of Ambal, the wholething was exposed in her dream.

Subsequently, During the pooja on 42^nd day Adi parasakthi came into her. Upon realising the same, devotees started singing songs on shakthi devi. On hearing the verses of "Sri Chakra Raja …” she felt like floating in the air and shouted at the devotees to make her sit on the floor. Though the Devotees were frightened they managed to do so. Later amma told them "Be peaceful, be calm, there is no need to fear ” "I have just come to tell you that I have come here for your prosperity.”

After the completion of 48 days recital, one day ambal came into one of the devotee and asked Radha Amma to visit nine thirutalas namely Kancheepuram, samayapuram, Melmaruvathoor, Thiruvotriyur, Prathyankara devi, Vana Durga parameshwari, Angala Parameshwari, Lalithambigai and Thiruverkadu. Accordingly Amma visited all the said 9 shrines before the construction of the temple and in view of this fact the deity was named as "Navashakthi Kamakshi Peedam”. Mr.Sethuraman was very much instrumental in accomplishing this feet.

With the blessings of Sri Kanchi Paramacharyar Maha Shri Jayendra Saraswathi swamigal the 9 foot idol of Sri Navashakthi Kamakshi Amman kumbhabishekam held on 5.6.2009. The distinguished factor is that the 9 feet idol is the one of the tallest Kamakshi idol in Tamil Nadu. Sri Sarva sidhi vinayagar and sri valli deva sena samedha Sri Muthu Kumarasamy also indoctrinated here.

"Madipakkam ARULMIGHU SHRI NAVASHAKTHI KAMAKSHI AMMAN PAMALAI – STHALA VARALARU " book was released on 05-04-2009 by Mrs. T. Thanga susheela. She has written more than 100 such poems on her own. Believe It or not, she is a house wife, She has not written even a single poem earlier. Each one written in this book was by an instinct. Next volume of the same was also released on 31 January 2010 by Sri Kanchi Paramacharyar Maha Shri Jayendra Saraswathi swamigal at the temple premises.
