The Durga Yantra in Bhramarambika sannidhi of Srisailam

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

 

Most of the people are under confusion that the yantra is the Sriyantra Meru

Pratishta at the Mukha Mantapa before the Bhramarambika Sannidhi of Srisailam.

Devotees are prohibited from prostrating before this Yantra and Devi

Bhramarambika.

 

This Yantra is the " Navadurga Yantra " which pacified the fierce form of

Mahishamardini Rupa Chandi in the temple. The ancient vigraha is concealed with

silver coverings. These silver coverings are removed once in a year at the time

of Ugadi (telugu new year). When the ugra rupa devi is displayed, simultaneously

the huge amount of curd rice and curd abhisheka to the Mallikarjuna Linga is

performed to pacify the ugra-swarupa of Bhramarambika devi. Only on this day,

animal sacrifice is performed and the blood is diverted into the " rudhira gunda "

which is in the temple complex.

 

Interesting thing is that this " Navadurga Yantra " was discovered by the

Sankaracharya of Sringeri Sivaganga Mutt. His name is HH Gangadharendra

Subramanya Bharati Swamigal who was a wonderful srividya upasaka apart from

mantra siddhi of Medha Dakshinamurthy Mantra. Numerous are his lilas. Once when

swamigal was holding chaturmasya diksha in Kasi, a vamachari wanted to test the

swamigal. He performed chakra archana with makara-panchaka and offered the madya

(wine) and mamsa (flesh) to the swamigal as bhiksha. Swamigal was performing

the Sarada-Chandramoulishwara Puja. Through his anushtana bala of

Dakshinamurthy, sensed the evil ways of Vamachari and asked the attendant to

placed the covered bhiksha on the ground. Swamigal sprinkled mantra jala by

chanting gayatri mantra and immediately the wine and flesh transformed into

delicious seasonal fruits.
