ADHIPARASAKTHI SIDDAR PEEDAM
AT
MELMARUVATHUR
Arulmigu Adhiparasakthi Siddhar Peedam, the Holy Shrine is situated at
Melmaruvathur, Tamil Nadu, 92 kms south of Chennai along the NH-45. This place,
where the Siddhar Peedam is situated, is being considered as the mostHoly place
for the past 2000 years. It is in this place, where21 Siddhars, both men and
women, attained Jeeva Samaadhi (leaving the mortal body, but living in astral
plane). These 21 Siddhars belong to
various religions.
In these Holy Lands at Melmaruvathur, where the current Siddhar Peedam
is consecrated, stood a Neem tree and a huge Snake mound underneath it. One day, in 1960s, milk began to ooze out
from the aforesaid Neem Tree.
Wonderstruck by the miracle, people in the surrounding villages,
thinking it to be a Divine Happening, drank the oozing milk. The milk was delicious though the sap of the
Neem tree will always taste bitter. It
served as a miracle-medicine for curing the various diseases of the village
people. The people slowly started realizing the Divine Power and Grace of the
tree.
On 28th November 1966, there was a violent storm in Tamil Nadu. The
Snake mound under the Neem tree was eroded in the heavy rain. The Neem tree
(from which the milk oozed out) also got uprooted due to the violent gusty
winds.The Swayambu (Swayambu means “self-manifested” or that which is created
by its own accord) emerged beneath the uprooted Neem tree.
People then
understood the revelation that it was because of the power of The Swayambu, the
milk had high medicinal values, and the place became so sacred. The Sanctum
Sanctorum of today’s SiddharPeedam is established in this very same place. The
Swayambu is situated right in front of the Adhiparasakthi statue.
In 1971, the first Oracle came through His Holiness, The Adigalar and
The Power prophesied that, “it’s descending to earth as The Mother and She
should be worshipped as the Goddess Adhiparasakthi, and the world would go
through a Spiritual Revolution and a New Renaissance would emerge’.
Initially, The Swayambu alone was worshipped for many years. Thereafter,
on 25thNovember 1977, the idol of Mother Adhiparasakthi was installed in the
Sanctum Sanctorum. Mother Adhiparasakthi instructed the unique form of this
idol through Her Oracles.
The idol is one metre tall, seated on a
thousand-petal lotus seat, with Her right leg folded and the left leg resting
on the lotus petal. The thousand-petal lotus signifies and denotes meditation.
She holds the bud of a lotus in Her right hand and the fingers of Her left are
folded in a way depicting the Chin Mudra. Her hair is plaited and knotted
upwards like a crown.
