Janani

The famous Mookambika (Mūkāmbikā) Temple is on the banks of the river Sauparnika in Kollur, about 135 Kms from Mangalore and 80 Kms from Udupi, in the valley of Kodachadri peak of Western Ghats in south India. The temple is dedicated to Mookambika in the form of Jyotir-Linga incorporating both Shiva and Sakthi. The Linga is famed in having a golden streak (Suvarna Rekha) across its face vertically, the left part larger than the right representing the inseparability of Sivaand Sakti. Goddess Parvati, Lakshmi and Saravati form the larger left side and Siva, Vishnu and Brahma form the right side. (Think of Ardhanarisvara.) The Panchaloha image (five-element metal) of the Goddess on Sri Chakra is stated to have been consecrated by Adi Sankaracharya during his visit to this place. The Lingam with golden streak is in front of the idol of Devi, the Mother Goddess, who assumes the Padmasana pose with three eyes and four arms, two posterior hands holding Discus and Conch and the anterior hands granting Abhaya and Varada Mudras. In the shrine near the main image are those of Mahakali and Sarasvati. Sankara sat on a stone slab for meditation in the temple. That slab called Sankara Peetha is still there . There is room near the sanctum enshrining the Sankara Simhasanam which is regarded as the very spot where he meditated and had a vision of Mūkāmbikā, who is regarded as a manifestation of Sakti, Sarasvathi and Mahalakshmi.

The Mookambika Temple was established by Shankaracharya. Legend has it that a "Jyotiralinga" appeared here when sage Kola-Maharishi was doing penance. When Shanakaracharya learnt about that, he went to Kollur and worshipped Adishakti. The goddess appeared before him and ordered him to get her statue installed beside the "Jyotirlinga."
Shankaracharya then had the statue sculpted in the form in which he had seen the goddess. He also ordained that prayers should be offered daily to the goddess. The architecture of the temple dates back to the times of Keladi Nayakas, a fact testified by inscriptions.
There was once an Asura (Demon) known as Kaumasura who, on the strength of a boon from Siva, was oppressing the Suras (gods), who went into hiding. Guru Sukracharya, the Preceptor, the High Priest and Martial Arts Guru of the Demons foretold the future that the Demon king would be a victim of death by a woman. Kaumasura prayed to Siva. Before he could articulate and ask for a boon, Vagdevi (goddess of speech, Sarasvati) renders him speechless. (He was rendered incapable of spoken, written and sign language.) Because of his lack of expression and communication, he could not get his boon from Siva and was called Mookasura (Dumb Asura). Kola Rishi appealed to Sarasvati for help. She put together the power of all gods and created a Supreme Power in the form of a female deity, who brought down the Demon once for all and granted him salvation. From that day the goddess was called Mookambika granting boons to Her devotees. Sridevi abides here in Padmasana pose. Sanakaracharya had vision of Mookambika and installed the deity in Kollur. He installed Sri Chakra with Mookambika sitting on top of it. In front of the Srichakra-Mookambika idol sits a Lingam with Kali (Parvati) and Sarasvati flanking Mookambika.
In the temple, Sankara had a vision of Devi and thus earned a special sanctum for himself. India-born Muslim ruler Tippu Sultan (1750-1799) paid a visit and offered Salam to Devi during Pradosha (evening) Puja and in his honor Pradosha Puja (aka Salam Mangalarthi) is conducted to this day. Muslims visit the temple on a particular day for Devi Darshana. Many families with hearing-, speech-, and vision-impaired children visit, make vow and pray to Devi at the temple for correction of the defects.

1.Shivah shakthya yukto yadi bhavati shaktah prabhavitum
Na chedevam devo na khalu kusalah ahspanditum abi
Athasth tvam aradhyam Hari-Hara-Virinchadibhir api
Pranantum stotum vaa katham akrta-punyah prabhavati
 
1.Lord Shiva, only becomes able.
To do creation in  this world.
along with Shakthi
Without her,
Even an inch he cannot move,
And so how can, one who does not do good deeds,
Or one who does not sing your praise,
Become adequate to worship you
Oh , goddess mine,
Who is worshipped by the trinity.
