In Thirumeeyachur, near Kumbakonam, there’s a temple for Lord Shiva who is revered as Meganathaswami. But in this temple the Mother Lalithambigai holds great significance installed over a Sri Chakra. When demon Pandasura was harassing sages and gods in heaven, they requested Goddess Shakti for protection. She rose from a homa fire, mounted on a Sri Chakra chariot, waged a war and destroyed Pandasura. Seeing that she was in uncontrollable anger, Lord Shiva asked her to go to earth and perform penance to shed her fury. In this temple of Thirumeyachur, the Mother as Manonmani arrived and became a soft and merciful deity. Sage Agastya sung the Lalitha Navaratnamala in praise of the goddess here. Many bizarre stories have been told about the goddess and in this temple devotees offer anklets to fulfill their vows. A puja in this temple cures diseases and blesses with marriage, child boons and fulfills all wishes.
Goddess Shakti is personified or represents the Maha Meru. It is believed all deities manifested from this great seat of power and the Mother herself resides in the form of Shri Vidya at the top of the Meru. It blesses the devotee with popularity, power, authority, peace, a lavish life, abundance and success. It is very useful to the Kali Yuga as the Yantra spreads positivity and good fortune.
The universe is contained in three states – creation, maintenance and destruction, and represented by three circles in the Maha Meru. When it is elevated it looks like the Sumeru Mountain that balances the whole universe.
