                                          Akhilandeshwari Temple Karuvalarcheri Kumbakonam

This temple is devoted to Mother Akhilandeshwari in Karuvalarcheri. From conception to birth, this Goddess is the giver and protector of life. For those who want to have children and those who are worried about the birthing process, this is an important temple, just like the famous Garbharakshambika temple.

 Maha Guru Agasthiar and his consort Mother Lopamudra Devi (Lobha Matha) offer worship here on Maha Shivratri and Navratri days. Karuvalarcheri is home to one of the most important temples of the Agasthiar Siddha Lineage – the Agasthiar Guru Padhuka Shakti Temple of Mother Sri Akilandeswari and Lord Agastheesvara Shiva. Adjacent to this temple is the temple of Lord Sri Lakshmi Narayana, making Karuvalarcheri a wonderful Siva-Vishnu sacred spot.

Mother Sri Akilandeswari here is known as Karu Valarkkum Nayagi – the Goddess who blesses the foetus with growth. In other words, the Universal Mother in this temple gives the blessing of development to the foetus. Thus this temple complements the famous temple of Garbha Rakshambika which is some miles from here. Mother GarbhaRakshambika is Karu Kaakkum Nayaki – the Goddess who protects the foetus. The Universal Mother in that temple gives the blessing of protection to the foetus. Thus pregnant women get the blessing of growth at one sacred spot and the blessing of protection at the other.

Meditate on these two specific blessings that these two sacred spots give to expectant mothers. Just thinking about this, one should bow down in gratitude to the Universal Mother’s compassion for us and Her meticulous attention to our varied needs.
