"Om veda mata namaha"
Hello Friends I am Back. Today I will tell you in brief about visiting one of the MOST SACRED PLACES in KARNATAKA i.e. Kollur Sri Mookambika Temple.
First introduction my style>>
Friends People from all walks of life have faced or facing or will face problems at one one stage or the other in their life. There is no person on this planet earth whose life full of enjoyments. You all know this. This is ever green truth that we have to remember in our life. but what a person should do when faced with such difficulties is something every individual has to sit and analyze and take proper decision so that a solution is found to the problem.Not every problem is the same and hence solutions also vary. But is the individual ALONE is NOT AT ALL capable of solving his or her problem on his /her own.God's Grace, Elders Advice also comes into aid to a person suffering from problems.
This is this magnificent temple comes into picture. This place is Shakthipeeta. This is the one of the shaktipeeta's of our country that still attracts lakhs of devotees from all over the world. You can even see foreigners visiting this temple in OUR traditional attires.
This place is in the midst of dense forest. Long ago when a sage performed penance here for the betterment of the world but there was a demon named kammasura who disturbed him a lot. One day this kammasura suddenly got inspiration to get such a boon that it would impossible to kill him by anyone. Demons always think they are cleverer but we all know god is always one step ahead in thinking ways to spoil the party of such demons. So when kammasura did long meditation which pleased Lord Shiva who appeared to give him whatever he wanted goddess shakthi entered his mouth and made him unable to speak. Unable to speak this kammasura got irritated and started to act in rash way. This naturally irritated Lord Shiva and he disappeared. Now kammasura unable to speak and tolerate this irritation was acting in the most cruelest manner. He then became to called as mookasura. Now this mookasura as usual went back to his routine of disturbing peace in the neighbourhood.Unable to tolerate this kinda of punishment the sage performed deep penance to devi and she appeared as Ambika and destroyed mookasura and hence came to be known as SRI MOOKAMBIKA.
Now friends you how the devi came to be known as mookambika. After this Lord Shiva appeared here in the form of linga which has a GOLDEN LINE to say to the world that in that linga the trimurthies and their consorts are ALWAYS present.
From then on the goddess has stayed there granting boons to ALL her devotees who come to her asking for help. Therefore people from all walks of life go there and worship her and get wish fulfilled. This is My favourite place along with my mothers home i.e. Sringeri.[Sri Sharadhamba is my mother].
This is about the brief history of the temple. Now how to go to the temple? Read on
Going to the temple>>
Where you are starting matters always because you can plan any travel if you know your starting point. Since i give only details regarding how to travel using KSRTC or private buses the starting point will be mentioned properly for your comfort.
FIRST>> The starting point here will be Bangalore. All you have to do is pack your luggage board a BMTC local bus and go directly to MAJESTIC bus stand.There walk directly opposite to the KSRTC bus stand and go to the Correct plaftform where buses to Kundapura and Kollur are parked. Usually Rajahamsa buses are present but sometimes you can also see the Airavatha buses. Book your seat and your are on your way.
SECOND>> The starting point will be Sringeri. The Temple at sringeri opens at 6AM. Have darshan of the LOKA MATHA and then prepare your things and get ready by 7:10AM exactly.Then go the Sringeri bus stand or wait in front of the temple gate near the book shop itself. By 7:25 or So private bus directly going to kollur comes. board the bus and you are on your way. But if you want to stay in Sringeri till you can have darshan of jagadguru then USE this option>> After the darshan of JAGADGURU at around 11:45 to 12PM come back have lunch their itself and then relax a bit. Now pack your bags and board the thirthalli bus going via kaimara.Get down at kaimara. From that point board the bus going to siddapura. Ask the conductor if the same bus goes to ampar or neralakatte. If yes go to Ampar. If not Get down at siddapura.From here board a bus going to Kundapura or Ampar. From either Kundapura or Ampar you will get private buses going to kollur. I PERSONALLY PREFER GOING TO KUNDAPURA PRIVATE BUS STAND AS THERE WILL NO CONFUSION OR WAITING BECAUSE A LOT OF BUSES LEAVE TO KOLLUR FROM KUNDAPURA. Choose the option that is most convenient to you.
The present ticket prices>> 1>Sringeri to Kaimara=Rs.30/-
2>Kaimara to Siddapura=Rs.30/-
3>Kundapura to Kollur=Rs.28/-
