Introduction and History in Brief
Bhagavathy Amman Temple is a very ancient temple dedicated to Goddess Kumari Amman. It’s located very close to Kanyakumari Sea Beach. The temple has awesome architecture and has an idol of Goddess Kumari. We visited the temple in the evening hours. There was not much crowd in the temple.
Kanya Kumari Bhagavathy Amman Temple is one of the Sakthi Pitha of India.Temple is located in the city of Kanyakumari, the southernmost city of India. It is a popular tourist destination and also a holy pilgrimage site since it is believed to be a Shakti-Peeth. It is believed that the shoulder of the Goddess Sati fell on this site and that is why the region has kundalini shakti. Today, the temple of the Goddess Kanyakumari Devi attracts tourists and pilgrims from all over the world and the Vivekananda Rock is also another major site at this spot.
Devi Kanya Kumari is the manifestation of Parvati in the form of an adolescent girl child. Devi is also known as Shrī Bāla Bhadra or Shrī Bāla. She is popularly known as “Shakti” (Adi Parashakti) “Devi”. The Bhagavathi Kumari Amman Temple is located in Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, at the southern tip of main land India, there by located on the confluence of the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean. She is also known by several other names, including Kanya Devi and Devi Kumari. She is also worshiped as an incarnation of the goddess Bhadrakali by her devotees. Sage Parashurama is said to have performed the consecration of the temple. The goddess is believed to be the one who removes rigidity of the mind; devotees usually feel the tears in their eyes or even inside their mind when they pray to the goddess in devotion and contemplation.Kanyakumari Temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas. It is believed that the right shoulder and (back) spine area of Sati’s corpse fell here creating the presence of Kundalini Shakti in the region.
There is a temple of Lord Ganesha near the tip of the land at the confluence of the three seas, which one must visit before entering the temple. Some believe that the Bhadrakali Temple within the Bhagavathi Kumari Amman Temple is the Shakti Peetha.
As directed by his Guru Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda, came here to seek Devi’s blessing in December 1892. It is in this location he decided to embark on the missionary work to a higher level of action rather than being passive like the usual Sanyasis. Swami Brahmananda (1863–1922) and Swami Nirmalananda (1863–1938), another two disciples of Sri Ramakrishna Parama Hamsa, also worshiped Devi Kanyakumari. In fact, Swami Nirmalananda brought several small girls from many parts of Kerala to worship goddess here in 1935-36 period. Seven girls later on became the members of the first batch of Nuns of the “Sarada Ashrama”, a Hindu nunnery started later in 1948 in Ottapalam, Palakkad, Kerala by Swami Vishadananda.
