Ayurdevi - Mother of Universe

Sri Aayur Devi, the Empress of the Universe, is a manifestation of the Universal Mother Parashakti. Mother Ayur Devi's worship was prevalent in a grand manner during the in the Kritha (Satya)Yuga. Seated on a Siddha swan (anna vaahanam) on a base of Siddha lions (simha peetam), the blissful Mother offers a seat(kara peetam) to nine great Siddhas in eight of Her nine divine hands. Her ninth hand shows the Abaya Hastha or the fear not sign. Siddhas are those who always are at bliss at the worship of Mother Parashakthi or Sri Devi Upaasana and have dedicated their lives for fetching salvation for this mankind.

Maa Ayurdevi

With the Trimoorthi ( Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) trinity looking on in awe, Sri Chitragupta ( Assistant of Lord Yama) dutifully cataloging the karma of all beings, Sri Yama and His consort worshiping Her, the great Mother presides over the universe. Usually we can see the Siddhas form only in the temple pillars but the moment one worships Mother Ayur devi he gets double benefitted of worshipping the Mother Ayur Devi as well the Siddhas.

Chanting this set of 27 names four times, is equivalent to one Ashtotara (108 names). Chanting this Ashtotara ten times will be a Sahasranama (1000 names) and that is highly recommended. 10 sahasranamas per day pays way to the Mother's grace!

Performing Kalasa Puja for Her is very auspicious during Navrathiri. Doing archana (offering flowers at the Mother's lotus feet with the recitation of every name) with gold/yellow colored fragrant flowers is highly recommended. This is the way to get sarva mangala sowbhagya - all auspiciousness and prosperity.

Temple and Puja performance for Lord Sarabeswara

It is firmly believed that for removing obstacles in marriage, for begetting a child, for recovery from debts, for winning legal battles, for neutralizing the effects of black magic etc., worshipping Lord Sarabeswara is the best remedy. Arulmighu Kambahareswara temple, also known as "Thirubuvana Veera Deva temple" located in the village of Thirubuvanam, a town which is about 8 miles from Kumbakonam in the east on the road leading to Mayiladuthurai is the only temple where Lord Shiva Perumaan is manifested as "Sarabeswarar" while in other places Sarabeswarar can be found in pillars.

Lord Sarabeswara

Lord Sarabeswara is please or the best time to do abishekam and puja to Lord sarabeswara is on 

• Chandra horai during raagu kaalam on Sunday - perform abishekam for Sri Sarabesvara using pure cow's milk. Do archana using little spheres of butter and perform archana with 108 namas and offer white colored dishes as neivédyam and distribute the same to the poor and the needy. Doing this will cure migraine problems, cure the long illness of husband, get back your awaited finance and bring peace in family
• Sani Horai during raagu Kaalam on Sunday - offer selfless service to the handicapped, Offer sesame based dishes and fruits as neivédyam, Distribute black or blackish blue clothes to the poor and Do archana using flowers from the Nagalingam tree in this time span.Doing this will cure severe illness, remove the obstacles, gain good fame, rejoin the estranged couples
• Guru horai during raagu Kaalam on Sunday - one must offer beauty products and ornaments as gifts to married women who can't afford these on their own. Doing this is good for women on all aspects to get rid of problems with husband, relations, in laws, and reduce the intensity of enemity.
