Mookambika ashtothara
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Goddess Mookambika
the presiding deity of Kollur
temple of the Udupi district of Karnataka.
There are two stories . There was an Asura called Kaumasura who was told by his gUru that he would be killed
by a woman. He did great penance addressed
to Lord Shiva . When Lord Shiva appeared
and was about to give noons,
Goddess Saraswathi tied his toungue and made him mute(Mooka) . At that time a
sage called Kola prays Goddess and she
creates a super divinity God by unifying the power of all Gods and that power
kills Mookasura. That place where she
killed the Asura is Kollur where the
Goddess is staying ,She sits there on padmasana
with a peaceful looks, having four hands and holding Shankha and Chakra
in two hands. The temple was built in a place where Lord Shiva drew a
sreechakrs on the land by his toe.
Another legend
says that sage Shankara did penance and
pleased goddess Saraswathi with a
request that she should accompany him to Kerala, where he wanted to consecrate
a temple for her. She asked him to walk towards kErala and she would be walking
behind him.Her presence could be recognized
by the sound of her anklets .,She told him , if at any time he turns
back to see her, she would stay there. When they reached the Kudajadri mountain, Adhi Sankara could not hear the
sound of the anklets and looked back,
The Goddess decided to stay there, Adhi Sankara got greatly upset , Then the Goddess
promised that she woud always be in Chothinikkara temple of Kerala during
Nirmalya darsanam. And after that she would return to Kollur every day.
All Keralites
believe that She is goddess Saraswathi.
They consider it as a great fortune if
they take babies to Vidhyarambam 9starting of learning) to that temple . Many great people whom we have heard are her devotees.Let us
worship her and get wisdom.)
