Tips on how to make the Maa Vilakku or the Rice flour lights.

Hi there It's me Shakthi Sathyanarayana.
Im going to teach you a very simple way to make the Maa Vilakku.
The original way is by using rice and grinding it then you add a little bit of Ghee to the flour and make it like a dough by adding a bit of hot water and brown sugar.
This is offered to Ambal then after the light is no longer burning then they offer this as a prasadham to people and it is very special as it can cure diseases and people with no children will have and all your sorrows will vanish.

The second method is by using the ready made rice flour and by adding a bit of ghee and also a bit of tumeric powder or even kungumam for its colour. Then make it in the shape of a light. You can either burn it like that or steam the vilakku.

The yellow maa vilakku is usually for men and the red is for women and it is said that plain white is for widows but nowadays its not the colour that matters but the colour of your heart that ammbal see.

Try it out this Month of Aadi.

With lots of love.

Thevi Karumariamman Parashakthi

Hi There everyone It's me Shakthi Sathyanarayana.
Sorry for the delay. I have got this beautiful information about Thevi Karumariamman. She is the ultimate mother of all Parashakthi.
Her famous temple is in Thriverkadu 18km from Chennai.
This particular place is where Parashakthi first came or emerged after creating all the planets and Earth. She took the first form as a Cobra that circled the suyambu and blessed everyone.
That is why Thiruverkadu is a very special place.
Before I tell you more about her history I am going to explain why Karumari is so special and let me describe her to you.
Om Shakthi may Karumariamman give me the knowledge to describe her.
Well as I told you she is Aathi Parakshakthi. Aathi means the first and the creator as well. The five snakes represents the 5 Panjaboothas. This shows that everything is from her. The snake also protects her Kungumam that she wears which means she is NithyaSumanggali.
The moon at the back of her shows that she is pournami or full moon also Laxmi because Laxmi Thevi came out of the milk ocean as bright as full moon. Then the Crescent on her head which also shows that she is also the creator, protector and destroyer. Lord Shiva the half of her or ArthaNadeswarar. Then followed by the Udukai and Snake which shows the movement of the sound by the snake which shows that everything created by her is moving according to her Udukai when it stops we are no longer in earth. On the other hand the Thrisoolam or the Trident that shows Laxmi. Durga and Saraswathi. The Moogambigai or Parasakthi. The 3 are all her and not different. The knife she holds represent the truth and sincerity and help you to lift if you are in the right path and punish if you are in the wrong path. Karumari has always given her children many opportunities.Of course the Kungumam shows that she is Nithya Kalyani, Nithya Sumangali and Parasakthi. The Renuka Thevi on the bottom shows that She is Mari and She is also Kali. And also other stories that I have given below.

Once there were 2 sisters by the name of Sarathai and Sundari in the Snake world. They were so beautiful but could not get bridegroom. Narathar came and told them to pray to Thevi Karumariamman. They prayed hard and Karumariamman appeared before them and told them to bath in the Sambar Poigai and drink Tumeric water. They did as told. Then came Prince Sambhu and Balan and got married to them.
Even today the tumeric from her temple cures sickness, gets girls married and also child for couples with no children.
She also appeared under a Neem tree or known as Veppalai tree. This tree is well known not only to cure chicken pox but it is also capable of putting a fight against God of Death or Yaman.Neem also cures sickness and drives away evils. Karumari said that I am living in the neem leaves and it will give life.
Karumari also said that If you pray to a snake Idol kept under a neem tree, Karumari will bless you. If you pour milk into an anthill or Puthu all your sorrows , jenma pavam, effect of raghu and kethu removed and you will get an uplift in life. And during the month of Aadi, pouring milk in a puthu is very auspicious. Thats when Karumariamman gave a boon for the 5 elements or the Panjaboothas and wore them as five headed snake.

The Special 8 Direction Lingam in Verkadu. The Lingam with 8 directions is found only in Thiruverkadu. Lord Shiva with his 8 characters looked at 8 directions through his 3rd eye. This made Karumariamman special and powerful as sha sits in 8 directions.The Lingam having 8 faces and facing 8 directions are.

1. Parvathi Lingam
2. Navamani Lingam
3. Bairavi Lingam
4. Sivanilai Lingam
5. Poorna Lingam
6. Sathyama Lingam
7. Karani Lingam
8. Varani Lingam

Karumari is a very special person. You can begin by saying Om Karumariyae Namaha.
She comes within a flash of light when her children needs her.
I hope this would give you a little Information.
Thank you.

My next issue will be about Aadhi Month and a little tips on making the flour light or the maa vilakku.

With lots of love
