Main Mantra of Sri
Jagajjanani Matha is “Aum Aiem Hreem Sreem Sri Jagajjananyai Namah:”
Dear Readers, Devotees, Pilgrims & Well wishers,
This is Bala ratnakar from Vijayawada, a dedicated devotee
to Our Universal Mother Goddess, writing about the World famous and
the only 2nd temple of its kind is “Sri Jagajjanani Temple” at Nandyal on behalf of Sri Siva Naga Pullaiah Garu(Founder of the Temple).
“Sri Jagajjanani Matha” (Ammala Kanna Amma) which is located at a holy place
called “Nandyal” (A sacred place where Nava Nandi’s located) in Kurnool
District, Andhra Pradesh, India.
Introduction:
“Sri Jagajjanani Temple” in the name itself indicates that
this is the temple for Mother of World (Mother of All Gods and Goddesses). In Telugu
language “Jagamu” means World and “Janani” means Mother (“Sri- Jagajjanani
means Mother of World”). The Goddess located here is “Sri Jagajjanani”, she is
mother of Universe. When I visited the temple, I got best relative feelings with Sri
Jagajjanani-The Goddess when I am watching her Idol. I say (and you also say if once you visit there feeling that this is the Idol which we cannot see
anywhere else in the entire world except in this Temple at Nandyal.
Temple Importance and
its Rareness:
Here I am giving the best explanation about the temple and its
importance to visit.
This is the only 2nd temple of its kind in the
entire planet except the 1st one in Himalayas near Lake ManasaSarovaram,
which is already collapsed and that’s why this is the only temple which is
consisting of Sri Jagajjanani Idol in entire world. Temple contains “Gopuram”
which is very beautiful with various forms of Matha as Idols on the shrine.
Gopuram of the Sri Jagajjanani
Temple:
“Gopuram” means temple dome or top in telugu, this temple
gopuram consists of all the forms of gods and goddesses and they
are “Mukkoti Devathalu”,and “ Crores of living beings”, “Kalpa Vrukshamu”,
“Holy seven sages”,” Holy seven mothers” (Saptha Matrukalu), “Nava Durgas” and,
“Ashtadasa Sakthi Peetalu” etc. So the gopuram of the temple is also a rare and
sacred thing to see there.
Sri Jagajjanani Temple
History and Idol’s Importance:
This is the real thing happened long ago, when the life is
started on the earth. When Sri Jagajjanani Matha decides to start the life
on earth, she first came to earth and she incarnated herself in Idol near
ManasaSarovaram in Himalayas above 19,500 ft from the sea level. Every day all
Gods and Goddesses came here and make bath in ManasaSarovaram and pray to Sri
Jagajjanani which she resides near to the lake. This was briefly described in
our Vedas, Old Manuscripts like “Kapalika Vidhi”, “Vamakeswara Tantram”, “Koula
Achara Tantram”, “Sakthi Sthal”, “Devi Bagavatham” etc. There is no husband and
wife form for this Sri Jagajjanani as she forms both the Husband and wife forms
when she needs them.
First of all, Matha gave her male forms as Brahma, Vishnu
and Shiva. And she gave her female forms of Saraswathi, Lakshmi and Parvathi
respectively to Trimoorthulu as wifes to produce, develop and stop the life on
Planet Earth. Sri Jagajjanani called with various names in various places like
Maha maya, Yoga maya, Adhi Para Shakthi etc. Out of all she is the Holy Mother
of Universe so called as “Sri Jagajjanani” which fits for all names in the
world. Long ago how she incarnated in Himalayas with the same form, now she
again incarnated at our Nandyal, which is very holy place for Hindus.
About Sri Jagajjanani
Idol:
The Matha idol located here is very rare idol, which
consists of 8 hands and called as “Asta Bhuji” and contains 5 faced Shiva in
her Stomach, and Sri Maha Vishnu at her Feet as a “Padha Peetam” and 4 faced
Brahma in her left 3rd hand. And Brahma came from the stomach nabel in thread
of Lotus of Vishnu. On the right hand side, she holds Moon in 1st
hand, Earth in 2nd hand, Sun, Lakshmi Devi in 3rd hand, 3rd
eye, The Trisulam(Weapon of Shiva which is given by Sri Jagajjanani) in the 4th
hand also called as Abhaya Hasthamu(Means the holy hand which gives Boons to her
children).
And finally she is under a Big Snake which contains 17 heads
as an Umbrella, on her vehicle which is a Ferocious lion which she likes
always. Her Idol indicates that All universe is emerged from Her, all gods,
goddesses and life came from Her” that is also called as “ViratSwaroopam” of “Sri
Jagajjanani.”
Idol History and its
Obtaining:
Here I need to tell about the Pioneer Mr. Siva Naga Pullaiah
garu and the Team of friends 4 formed as a Unit named as “Sri Durga Friends
Unit”, who construct the legendry temple on his self efforts by getting help from the
Nandyal villagers and the other people in and around. Long ago in the year
1983, like every year, Mr. Siva Naga Pullaiah and his 3 friends were on Bhavani Dheeksha
and visiting various holy Hindu places on the part of Dheeksha, they went to
“Ahobilam”, which is very sacred place for “Sri Lakshmi Narashimaha Swamy”.
After visiting the temple and god, they sat near a tree and chit chatting about
the Gods.
Then suddenly one hand was put on Mr.Siva Naga Pullaiah’s shoulder
from back side, All friends turned that side and saw at Divine and Holy
Sages called “Yogulu” in Telugu Language. One yogi’s hand was on his
shoulder and he shocked for it and strucked in their peaceful presence
appeared on the sages face. That yogi called Mr.Siva Naga Pullaiah and gave one Old
Painting(Some hundreds or thousands of years Old) of Sri Jagajjanani, which was
never seen before by any normal human on earth. Yogi said that, “This is the
form of Sri Jagajjanani which was seen long ago by our Guru(Teacher) during
Tapas(Meditation) and make as a painting by his disciple and forwarded to next
generations later on. This Sri Jagajjanani is having only one temple on earth
which was at ManasaSarovaram in Himalayas,( Now The area of
ManasaSarovaram comes under territory of China, but Sri Jagajjanani Temple
place comes under territory of India). That old and legendry temple was
collapsed and remains partially due to aging, so you need to build one temple for
her in your home town, which becomes famous in next generations.”
soon Siva naga pullaiah took the photo into his hands from them, they
disappeared at once. And later for many years he kept calm and thinking
about its possibilities. In the year 1988 they formed as a Unit named as “Sri
Durga Friends Unit” for devotional purpose by all 4 friends.In 1996, Mr. Siva Naga Pullaiah decided to build a temple by for Sri Jagajjanani. So he purchased a land
in his home town Nandyal with his own money, and later to build temple by
collecting donations from the generous persons, who are interested in this.
One fine day a normal
stone was carved into the famous sacred Goddess Idol, we are naming her as “Sri
Jagajjanani”. As per the words of Mr. Siva Naga Pullaiah garu if you visit once this temple now the results would be equal visiting Hindus 108 sacred places &
temples in India.

My experience at the
Sri Jagajjanani Temple:
I went to temple at 10:30 am on 16-09-2012, from outside,
temple is looking normal as it is under construction. The main temple Room was
on the first floor and by a small step way I went to main floor there I visited
Maha Ganapathi temple, as he is the 1st to pray before all, because
this boon was given by Sri Jagajjanani to Ganesha on his Birthday. After
visiting him, later I went to Visit my loving Goddess Sri Jagajjanani, but as
per the Priest order I made 3 rounds of Pradkshinas to Matha. Later I was asked
to sit in front of a “Sri Chakra Peetam” to do “KumKumarchana” Pooja which is
on her front side.
And after pooja done to Goddess, Mr.Siva Naga Pullaiah invited us(All
Devotees who came for the 1st time to the temple) into the inner
room of the temple and there I got Sri Jagajjanani full view to see heart
fully. There we are standing for a while, when he is explaining about Sri
Jagajjanani Idol and her Temple importance. He explained all the stuff which
was explained by me as above in this Blog. After that I visit Kumara Swamy
temple, I took the lunch in the Temple premises. Next I waited for Rahu Kala
Pooja(For details check in Poojas Section in the same Blog) at 4:30 to 6:00 PM
on Sunday to Goddess. I did Rahu Kala Pooja there to Sri Jagajjanani in front
of Idol. I stayed and spend nearly 10 hours in the Sri Jagajjanani Temple on
that fine day.
Note 1:
The Children below and equal to 15 years of age are not allowed into Inner
Room(Garbalayamu) of the Sri Jagajjanani Temple.
Reason:
All humans who are taking respiration having 3 Nadis in their body, called as 1) Ida Nadi 2) Pingala Nadi 3) Sushma Nadi, Soshma Nadi is in between 2 eye
brows where divine energy is concentrated, but In the children which are aged
below 15 there is no Soshma nadi fully developed, so they are unable to
connect and concentrate to the Goddess through Nadi. That’s why they are not
allowed inside room in the temple.
Note 2:
Sri Jagajjanani Temple is always open even in Grahanam Roojulu(Sun or Lunar
Eclipse days). This is the 2nd temple after Sri Kalahasthi Temple,
which is open on Eclipse Days in our AP state.
Reason:
All the planets & entire Universe are created by her and there is no
stopping of Dharshan on Grahanam Days(Eclipse days).
I got a wonderful experience in
front of Sri Jagajjanani Matha, i.e., when I am seeing into her eyes I got some
new energy which is never felt by me till that time, except once in SaiBaba
Temple, Shirdi long ago. I request you to focus on the Idol and mainly on her
face. I don’t know whether this will be happened to everybody, I felt happy for
this as her blessings are always with me till my last breath.
Finally, I am very much thankful
to Mr. Siva Naga Pullaiah Garu, Sri Durga Friends Unit, Temple Workers Team(Suresh,
Karthik etc) who helped me a lot during my visit to the Sri Jagajjanani Temple,
Nandyal for providing Books and Facilities there to stay.
I am happy to Explore all this to the Entire Planet through
Internet. By Bala Ratnakar.K, Vijayawada/Hyderabad.
I wish you a Happy Journey.
