Om Sakthi
Maruvathur, previously known as Siddhavanam, is one of 108 sites where Mother Adiparasakthi resides.We perform countless acts of worship in which the number 108 has a central role.
What is the significance of this important number 108?
"Salutations to You who have created the Cosmos as well as the Microcosmos"
According to this mantra, Adiparasakthi created the Universe as well as us, individuals with body and soul.
The significance of the number 108 is that it helps us know that Adiparasakthi who shines from outside as the sun is the same as the inner light in our soul.
Astronomers tell us that the the distance from us on earth to the sun is 108 times the diameter of he sun.
In order to reach Adiparasakthi within us, we wear the sakthi malai with 108 red beads, and chant various mantras with 108 verses each.
Om Sakthi.
