Garbarakshambigai Temple history
: Sage Nithuvar and his wife Vedhika were living in this
garden of mullai flowers when the following incident happened which
lead Parvathi devi to take the avatar of Garbarakshambigai to give
special protection to women during pregnancy.
Thousands of years back, two Rishies ( saints ) Gowthama and Gargeya
did penance in this garden of mullai flowers. The story is that,
Sage Nithuvar was living here with his wife Vedhika. One day when
Sage Nithuvar was away, sage Urdhvapada visited the mullai garden..
Vedhika was tired and sleeping deeply without showing hospitality
to the sage..infact she was having pains due to pregnancy but Urdhvapada
unaware of her difficulties got angry that she din't bother to wake
up and felt she could be sleeping purposely , decided to curse her
.The curse made her get diseased and it also hurted the child in
her womb.Vedhika was in worst pain of her life and deeply hurted
that her own child is being gradually destroyed and prayed for to
Goddess Parvathi to help her ....Goddess parvathi took the avatar
of Garbarakshambigai and appeared before Vedhika and protected her
child in the womb by holding it in a "kalasam " - divine
pot..The goddess has helped the child grow in the divine pot untill
it grew as full fledged child. .. Scientifically people know about
test tube baby, but it has happened before thousands of years in
our holy country, india, where goddess herself has saved a womens
pregnancy and blessed her.
When Vedhika cried as she was not able to feed the baby with her
milk, A sacred cow came infront of the temple and made a lake of
sacred milk. The sacred "kulam" is found even now where
i fed pori for fishes when i visited the temple. Vedhikai prayed
to Goddess Garbarakshambigai to remain in the temple forever and
bless all women with good soul mate, child birt and safe pregnancy.
