Maha Sakthi Thunai
Mahasakthi (Ekan)
Maha Sakthi Thunai
The Childhood Experience
In his childhood, Guruji tried to practise what he had learned. At that time, a miracle occurred.
Mahasakthi Appearing
As Guruji chanted a mantra, Mahasakthi appeared before him from behind. The form appeared white and extremely radiant. Guruji told his mother, “Mother, this is Mahasakthi.” His mother immediately said that Maha Muneeswarar had appeared. At that moment, the form grew many times larger and appeared in a majestic form. [That same form is now consecrated at our Shambhala Yantra Lokam.]
The Rear-Facing Form
He is Mahasakthi (Ekan). Guruji saw Him only from behind; therefore, the statue of Mahasakthi in our Yantra temple is also positioned with a rear-facing form.
The subtle meaning behind this is that Mahasakthi gave the divine message: “Whatever you think of Me as, I appear to you in that form.” To express this truth, a statue representing Mahasakthi in a rear-facing form has been created here.
Meaning of Ekan
As stated in the Thirumandiram, God is One—“Ekan”—yet He appears in many forms.
This is a wonderful truth: Who is God? Is He Hari, Siva, the Lord, or Allah? As stated in the Thirumandiram, God is One—“Ekan”—yet He appears in many forms.
Universal / Interfaith Message
Our Shambhala Yantra Lokam is beyond religious divisions. People of all religions come here, transcending religious boundaries, to receive divine grace. As stated earlier, God is One; Mahasakthi appears in whatever form we conceive or believe Him to be.
Connection to Shambhala Yantra Dhyan Lokam
That same form is now consecrated at our Shambhala Yantra Lokam. The kumkum bundle given by Kanchi Periyavar is placed beneath the divine image of Mahasakthi (Ekan) at our Shambhala Yantra Dhyan Lokam in Thirumazhisai.
