Guest guest Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hare krishna, namaskarams In Thennangur Padurangan temple complex you can find the Sanctum sanctorum of ShodasAkshari Swaroopa Lalitha Parameshwari Devi that lies on the left side of the Brindavanam facing North. A Goddess with twelve hands, like Thirupura Sundari holding Angusam, Pasam, Karumbuvil, and Panjapushpa Panangal, like Saraswathi holding Veena, Manikka malai and Book, Like Mahalakshmi having a Lotus, Abayamuthirai in one hand and Varadhamuthirai in one hand, she sits majestically in this temple. Here the Devi Parameswari is sitting on lord sadasivan as her pancha predasana manjam in the simhasana with Rudra, Vishnu, Easwaran and Brahman as it's four legs ruling the entire universe. As Adiparasakthi ,Bhuvaneswari, RajaRajeswari in the form of Women goddesses women are worshiped in our hindu culture and tradition, for centuries together. Vedanta is beyond gender caste divisions etc. and one should realize the atma/self in all is the same and that there is no male atma or female atma. Hence any seeker man or woman or of any caste from any region/country with the desire to know that atma can certainly realize that Brahman. The proof of that today is that there are now many swaminis with full advaitic knowledge from sandeepani school in Swami Chinmyananda's footsteps.
