A haven of peace and spirituality
Sree Panchakshari Nagamatha Temple at Sulur.
THE OBSCURE sleepy suburb of Rayarthottam Kannampalayam in Sulur, tucked away from the Coimbatore-Tiruchi highway at a distance of 18 kilometres from the city limits has assumed a new glamour.
A spiritual aura hovers around the imposing structure of the Sri Shaktipanchakshari Nagamatha temple complex with Lord Siva and Nagamatha as the presiding deities promoted by the Dynamic Divine Mission Trust headquartered in Aluva, Kerala.
The emergence of the temple is interesting. A devaprasnam held by the trustees of the mission is said to have identified the spot as a source of transcendent spiritual forces.
Divine enquiry revealed that the place was hallowed by the presence of Nagamatha as the primordial Devata and the all-pervading benign drishti of Lord Siva besides Sage Agasthya in the vicinity.
The temple, of typical Kerala architecture, faces west. After crossing the outer prakara, the devotee is led to a Namaskara mantapa in front of the garbha griha housing the Sivakutumbham — Lord Siva, Ganesa and Subrahmanya.
There are also separate shrines for Sri Bhadrakali, Ganesa and Sri Sastha as upadevatas besides Nagadevata.
The temple complex located on 60 cents' ground offers a conducive ambience to the devotee to transcend his corporeal frame and imbibe celestial vibrations.
The idol installation ceremony was performed recently by Brahmasree Narayanan Namboodiripad, Veshaparambu Manakkal Chithrabhanu and Chennas Vishnu Namboodiripad.
