This Shakti Peetam is the very first and only one to-date in the North America where our Spiritual Guru His Holiness Shri Bangaru Amma laid the foundation stone on September 3rd of year 2000. Mother AdhiParaSakthi Vigraha (Statue) sculpted by Mr. Subbaiah Sthapathi, the official master sculptor of Kanchi Kamakshi Temple in the year 2003 and brought to Chester Springs in May 2003. After a long spiritual tour named Karikolam for abount 40,000 miles across entire United States of America, the Statue was housed in a small temporary structure in October of 2012.
Blessed in Arulvaakku (Oracle) by Mother Adhiparasakthi on Sunday 6th November 2022, the work for constructing Moolasthaana (Garbhagruha) as a fully granite carved final abode of Mother AdhiParaSakthi was started on Panguni Uthiram April 5th, 2023 in the temple town of Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu, India. The gray color structures shown in the Moolasthaana Architecture Pictures here are sculpted by Shilpis in India on solid black granite boulders. The long-awaited dream of constructing the Moolasthaanam (Garbhagruham) for our Divine Mother AdhiParaSakthi is here now. This is the ONLY time that any of us can make our everlasting contributions to build the Home for the Mother. Please avail this once in your lifetime opportunity to build the Home for Your Divine Mother. The contribution you make to build the Garbhagruham for Your Divine Mother AdhiParaSakthi is an everlasting investment to ensure continued better life for you, your family and generations to come. Your contribution will go straight into procuring stone, carving / dressing the sculpture of Garbhagruham in Kancheepuram, TN India, shipped to US and installed in Chester Springs. Mother AdhiParaSakthi will be permanently consecrated inside this Garbhagruham.
Only a few souls are blessed with this unique and lifetime opportunity to participate in building a home for eternal Mother AdhiParaSakthi.
