They were supported by family and Friends. First it was a small temple. They expanded step by Step.They built Artha Mandapam, then they started constructing Maha Mandapam for people to sit comfortably in the Shade. The Maha Mandapam came to level of Pillars. There were 8 pillars. They were discussing if in the eight pillars, they could install Ashta Lakshmis. One day when they went to temple at 1 am and were discussing about the discussion of temple, that time he was a swami from Salem, who is also a astrologer came to Rajarajeshwari Temple. He told them,'Usually People from install only the Ashtalakshmi. You Install Dasa Mahavidya'. When the visitor from Salem asked Ravi iyya if knows anything about Dasamahavidya, Ravi iyya got surprised because he came across a English Magazine just 15 days before, which was left there by someone. So, he connected that divine leela of reaching a magazine 15 days before with the Devi leela of Sending one person in early morning asking to install Dasamahavidya. He wanted to make the Dasa Mahavidya, but he didn't have Right Divine form of Devi as described in Scriptures. He consulted few of his friends about his collections. They rejected the magazine and other forms advising him to go as per Scriptures. So, they started Seeking to get Divine Form of Devi. At this time, Rajendran Iyya got introduced to Swamiji through his friend Sridhar. |

+ | I tell you, Mother is too important way to connect what you think as life. In Vedic tradition our Rishis were aware, your ability to connect with the mother should be directed to Cosmos. It should inspire, it should awaken your higher consciousness. It should inspire your higher consciousness to express through you. It should awaken your higher consciousness. Connecting with life as mother is the most sweetest, most beautiful, most easiest form to ever connect. | ||

− | + | Please understand, my childhood was full of spiritual experiences, amazing spiritual masters. Great yogis, like Raghupati Yogi, Vibhudanada Puri, the personalities of their stature. Ramsuratkumar, Annamalai Swamigal, Sadhu Om, I can list the personalities. Great spiritual personalities and I was exposed to all the spiritual thought currents and traditions like Vedanta, Saiva Siddhanta, Shaivism. Even the thought currents of Sankhya, Yoga, Nyaya Vaisheshika, Purva Mimamsa, Uttar Mimamsa, various Yogic Sampradayas. But I tell you, I find most easiest, most powerful, most inspiring, most exciting way to connect with life as the form of Mother. It’s mother worship, I myself chose, after being exposed to so many spiritual masters, experiences, and philosophies. I tell you, if you want tremendous peace and healing in your inner space, chose mother worship. Even with your guru or your Ishta Devata (chosen god) relate as Mother, you will see, the kind of healing in your bio-memory, it will lead to extraordinary healing and unimaginable healing, extraordinary completion, unimaginable completion.Connect with the whole world as you connect with your mother: Be a child to life, be a mother to people you are giving life. Be a child to the life to receive life in you. Be a mother to people to whom you are giving life, that is enough. You will bring so much of healing, and completion to planet earth wherever you move, whatever you do. Whether you are a professional engineer, lawyer, doctor or Politician, political leader, celebrity, spiritual leader, whatever you are doing, motherliness completes you and others.

Chronicled Hours: 12 hours
07.11.2000 - 4.00 AM to 4.00 PM
After His ultimate realization as The Avatar and the revelation of His Avataric mission on Planet Earth, The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, Jagatguru Mahasannidhanam, His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam returned to Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu in South India for the first time after 9 years.
Summary
He stayed in a nearby village and began conducting programs and rituals, officially inaugurating His public life. He made Himself available completely to the public, giving spiritual healing for their illnesses and solutions for their daily problems. He dedicated Himself to increasing their quality of life multifold. Thousands of people were benefited and transformed just by His sheer commitment to their lives.
On November 7, 2000, The Avatar conducted a full-fledged Chandi Pradhana Vaisheshika Sapta Yaga ritual alongwith the Dasha Mahavidya worship in the Rajarajeshwari Kovil (Temple) located on the Girivalam Path around the sacred Arunachala Hill. The Girivalam Path is a well-known road around the circumference of Arunachala Hill, which is considered as a spiritual pilgrimage site for millions of Hindus.
Chandi Homa is a vedic fire ritual, worshiping the Divine Feminine Energy in the form of ‘Chandi’ the all-knowing and all-powerful form of Devi Parashakti. Parashakti is the main deity of the sacred feminine, and the divine consort of Bhagavan Paramashiva (who is the Lord of Supreme Consciousness)
During this homa, the form of Devi seated with a trishul (holy trident) appeared in the flames, as if to grace all the participants gathered around The Avatar with the blessings of Parashakti Herself. Only with the grace of The Avatar's pure devotion did the vedic fire ritual come to fruition with such auspiciousness.
Not by any coincidence, this temple is right across from what is known today as Kailaasa in Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam, the temple-monastery complex run by initiated sanyasis ( Hindu monks) of The Avatar to conduct His mission.Every full moon occasion this land offers free food for the at least 100,000 who take up walking around the sacred Arunachala Hill, whom they consider as Bhagavan Paramashivam Himself.
Chronicle
Devi's Leela behind the Happening of Chandi Pradhana Vaisheshika Sapta Yaga
DEVI and Her Devotees
Rajendran Iyya - Main Temple Administrator had deep desire to Consecrate - Do kumbabishekam of Rajarajeshwari temple. He shared his wish with his friend Ravi, whose favourite deity is Raja Rajeshwari. Immediately Ravi iyya supported the vision. Rajendran iyya and Ravi iyya started working together. They were supported by family and Friends. First it was a small temple. They expanded step by Step.They built Artha Mandapam, then they started constructing Maha Mandapam for people to sit comfortably in the Shade. The Maha Mandapam came to level of Pillars. There were 8 pillars. They were discussing if in the eight pillars, they could install Ashta Lakshmis. One day when they went to temple at 1 am and were discussing about the discussion of temple, that time he was a swami from Salem, who is also a astrologer came to Rajarajeshwari Temple. He told them,'Usually People from install only the Ashtalakshmi. You Install Dasa Mahavidya'. When the visitor from Salem asked Ravi iyya if knows anything about Dasamahavidya, Ravi iyya got surprised because he came across a English Magazine just 15 days before, which was left there by someone. So, he connected that divine leela of reaching a magazine 15 days before with the Devi leela of Sending one person in early morning asking to install Dasamahavidya. He wanted to make the Dasa Mahavidya, but he didn't have Right Divine form of Devi as described in Scriptures. He consulted few of his friends about his collections. They rejected the magazine and other forms advising him to go as per Scriptures. So, they started Seeking to get Divine Form of Devi. At this time, Rajendran Iyya got introduced to Swamiji through his friend Sridhar.
Swamiji was staying in Oyya Mutt in Thiruvannamalai. Swamiji was requested to Come to temple. Ravi iyya welcome Swamiji at the entrance of Temple. Swami himself said that, ' I know you Very well.' Ravi iyya happily smiled and they welcomed Swamiji inside temple. Swamiji checked the energy Vibration in the Temple and Swamiji face was lit, radiating joy exclaimed - ' It is very good'.
Swamiji asked, ' I am seeing there is a delay. Why is this work getting delayed?
They expressed the various reasons behind the delay.
Swamiji advised to do Nava Chandi Homa for Devi. Committed to them that HE himself will conduct. And Blessed that they will get speed, Strength and funds and will be able to complete everything in good way. Swamiji explained the Principle behind the the homa, we all should pray together in oneness is Principle and Everything will manifest.
DEVI herself manifested.
Why Devi Worship? Importance of Mother Worship?
I tell you, Mother is too important way to connect what you think as life. In Vedic tradition our Rishis were aware, your ability to connect with the mother should be directed to Cosmos. It should inspire, it should awaken your higher consciousness. It should inspire your higher consciousness to express through you. It should awaken your higher consciousness. Connecting with life as mother is the most sweetest, most beautiful, most easiest form to ever connect.
Please understand, my childhood was full of spiritual experiences, amazing spiritual masters. Great yogis, like Raghupati Yogi, Vibhudanada Puri, the personalities of their stature. Ramsuratkumar, Annamalai Swamigal, Sadhu Om, I can list the personalities. Great spiritual personalities and I was exposed to all the spiritual thought currents and traditions like Vedanta, Saiva Siddhanta, Shaivism. Even the thought currents of Sankhya, Yoga, Nyaya Vaisheshika, Purva Mimamsa, Uttar Mimamsa, various Yogic Sampradayas. But I tell you, I find most easiest, most powerful, most inspiring, most exciting way to connect with life as the form of Mother. It’s mother worship, I myself chose, after being exposed to so many spiritual masters, experiences, and philosophies. I tell you, if you want tremendous peace and healing in your inner space, chose mother worship. Even with your guru or your Ishta Devata (chosen god) relate as Mother, you will see, the kind of healing in your bio-memory, it will lead to extraordinary healing and unimaginable healing, extraordinary completion, unimaginable completion.Connect with the whole world as you connect with your mother: Be a child to life, be a mother to people you are giving life. Be a child to the life to receive life in you. Be a mother to people to whom you are giving life, that is enough. You will bring so much of healing, and completion to planet earth wherever you move, whatever you do. Whether you are a professional engineer, lawyer, doctor or Politician, political leader, celebrity, spiritual leader, whatever you are doing, motherliness completes you and others. (Reference: Satsang Titled 'Connect to Life with Mother Worship - 14th October, 2015')

Unforgettable Experience shared by Devotee Ravi:
The Dhivya Prabha, the divine light around His Divine Holiness that was captured right after the culmination of the Historic Chandi Homa.
His Divine Holiness guided the sthapathi and sadakas and consecrated the Dasamahavidya in accordance to Shakta Agamas:
Miracle happening during Consecration of Dasa MahaVidya:
The Devotees sculpted Dasa Mahavidyas taking guidance from HDH. HDH read the Slokas for each Mahavidya, explained the context of each form, each ayudha in their hand from the scriptures. Example - Kali ( Ferocious in form, motherly look in eyes). They took notes of that and sculpted the deities. During the consecration, when the Mahavidyas were installed one by one, the final deity sat exactly in the Peeta without any change in positioning, without any requirement for adjustment in direction. The Stathapathis themselves were shocked seeing the perfection of the deities and their features.
