Kshetra mahima:  

The Goddess “Mahatripurasundari” is called Lalita as she is lovely, elegant, charming and playful. We, yet to understand the source of the energy that moves us, are but transient figures in her eternal play.  Our sorrow and suffering is a delusion, a misconception born out of ignorance and the ego.  Because we attempt to control or possess joy from the standpoint of the separate self, we divide ourselves from true joy which is universal.  The Goddess, as the image of joy, shows us the path to come out of our sufferings, which is  not to deny ourselves happiness but to discover the true happiness that we seek, which is in being one with all.  Lalita awakens the receptive soul to the bliss that underlies all things in the universe.

SRIMADH LALITA MAHATRIPURASUNDARI is the Universal Spiritual Energy constantly active in creation, sustenance and dissolution of universe. From her, arise all the commands which govern the universe, including the command which allows us to unfold spiritually or to give spiritual teachings in the world.  We must seek her command in order to do  anything significant in life.  Yet her command is not based on authority but love.  To gain her approval we merely need be open to her love.  What she allows us to do is to love  her and to love everything.  To discover her commands, however, we must be willing to surrender our own egoistic desires and attempt to control things. She is also the single benevolent force lifting devotees from samsara (cycle of births and deaths). She is the omniscient, omnipotent, benevolent and adorable Mother. The Universal Mother is indeed a truth beyond the distinctions of sex and even beyond personality. Whatsoever we approach Her, so does She accept us. SRIMADH LALITA MAHATRIPURASUNDARI (Shakti) and Mahadev Tripureshwarar (Shiva) are complement of each other. Together they are the Cosmic Whole and what transcends it. They are factually one and inseparable.

Śrī Vidyā is the name of a Hindu religious system devoted to the goddess Lalitā Maha Tripurasundarī. It is the realization of the soul through synthesis and reconciliation. Devi is the imminent soul of all souls. She is the infinite and eternal supreme Bliss. She induces the intuitive knowledge of God, which is herself.

Sri Vidya shows the practical method to experience the truths of  Vedanta as Brahma Vidya. The bindu in the centre of Sriyantra, is the point from which expansion occurs and into which the universe contracts again. Sri Vidya shows the path for transcendence with in this world.

There is no discrimination of caste, creed or gender in Lalita worship. It proclaims that one who has not refrained from evil acts and who has no peace of mind and self control can not realize God by any means. Lalita worship consists of a great potential philosophical lore.

The prayers are conducted by invoking Sri Lalita over the Sri Chakra which is the diagrammatic representation of the Universe, Mantra, Yantra and Tantra are the three aspects of Sri Vidya. Yantra is the form of symbolic representation of Mantra. Tantra consists of mind concentration; rituals and kundalini yoga.

A thousand names for this form of Devī are recited in the Lalitā Sahasranāma, which includes Śrī Vidyā concepts. In  Śrī Vidyā the goddess is supreme, transcending the cosmos which is a manifestation of her. She is a form of Durga or Paravati, consort of Shiva, as well as several names from the Lalitā Sahasranāma which call her the beloved of Shiva.

SriYantra is the logical and diagrammatic representation of Shiva-Shakti and its cosmic manifestations. The central dot (Bindu) is the Shiva-Shakti Swarupam of SRIMADH LALITA MAHATRIPURASUNDARI. SriYantra in its three dimensional form is worshipped as SriMeru. Worship of SRIMADH LALITA MAHATRIPURASUNDARI - DIVINE MOTHER, who is called by other names and forms such as Adhi ParaShakti, Sri Raja Rajeswari, Sri Kamakhya, Sri Kamakshi, Sri Kameswari etc., is the highest form of worship of the ultimate divine energy. This puja takes the Worshipper away from Idol worship to ultimate and real ideal worship - from the gross form to the subtlest abstract worship. No samskaras or complexities are part of this worship of the Divine Mother in its true ENERGY form.

The incarnation of God to this world is in different forms for different reasons & different purposes, mainly to protect the dharma & asthikas. In this way the lord shiva gave darshanam in the form of lingam to bhakta shiromani Sri Ramachandran in his land situated in Sathur Village, located about 6 kms from Arcot of Vellore District  in Tamilnadu while plouging his land & then onwards that land become a pious, holy and  a great grandeur place. For reaching Sathur, one has to take left turn off Arcot- Arani Road at 3 km point.

Locals say that it was one of the seven Shiva-lingams worshipped by Sapta-Rishis (seven saints) in and around Satheu Village . This Lingam, found in our lands and named as Lord Tripureshwar by us, seems to be of many centuries old. The Lord is said to be originally installed and worshipped by Saint Dadhichi on whose sacrifice of life, his spinal cord was made as Vajra Ayuda to fight and conquer all evil forces and demons for the benefit of mankind. Hence the Lord is also known as Dadhichi Ishwarar. Shiva Lingam is as tall as five feet and two inches with octagonal nad sqare bases and diameter of more than one foot. We, however, could not find avadayar. Probably the worship place was badly demolished or destroyed during local wars of Nawabs.

Shri Ramachandran had a vision that the so found shanta & kalyana murthy lord Shiva named as Sri Tripureshwarar should stay in the land along with Shakthi Devatha & Saparivara. Accordingly he determined (sankalpa) with the blessings of his Guru to do it. In order to put that into action as per his sankalpa, he took the advice of his Guru and acharyas and decided to install Devi “Srimadh Lalita Mahatripurasundari” over Dasha mahavidya  Peetam as main diety with Tripureshwarar alongwith Lord Ganesha, Lord Shasta, Lord Dattatreya, Lord Venkateshwara, Lord Hanuman, Lord Karthikeya and Navagrahas, and manifest Herself to bless the devotees, asthikas and one and all.

SRIMADH LALITA Mahatripurasundari Trust has since been formed to promote spiritual growth. As a first step, the founder members of the Trust have already donated the required land and contructed the temple with the grace of Srimadh Lalita Mahatripurasundari. Idols are ready and Construction is nearing completion.

The temple is a three storey building of modern construction with fusion of traditional temple culture. The cellar will house the Dyana Mandapa and Dasa Mahavidya Library. The ground floor will house SRIMADH LALITA MAHATRIPURASUNDARI on the Dasa Maha Devis Peetam to start with. The first floor will have Lord Tripureshwarar as the main deity with Navagrahas, Ayyappa, Venkateswara, Dattatreya, Hanuman, Kartikeya and Ganesa around Him. Gradually, based on response from Devotees, other Dasa-Mahavidya deities will be enthroned. Lord Tripureshwarar, whom we are planning to install in the first floor, is the Lingam we found in the fields of the founder members of the Trust.

The acharyas gurus have said that the Lord has surfaced for Lokakalyanam & to protect one and all as long as moon, sun and stars endure (achandrtararka). As per their advice & suggestions of Guru, elders & wellwishers, Pratishtapana (installation) of all the idols have to be done. To perform this holy task and connected activities another trust has been formed under the name of SLM Trust.

We have a tremendous task ahead of us to fulfil that mission. To perform this uphill but holy & pious task with the blessings of Sri Devi, a systamatic & disciplined manner & in accordance with the procedure prescribed in related Agama shastras & dharma shastras, this trust has devised this programme spread over a period of 5 days starting from 25^th Aug, 2010. We request one and all to join us, participate & co operate and make this programme a grand success.
