No Prayer is complete without Presence #SriSri In Mookambika Devi Temple, Today! At Kollur, Udupi District in the state of Karnataka. The temple is at least 1200 years old . Legend says that Adi shankara once worshipped goddess Saraswati in order to bring her to Kerala, where none of her temples existed.When Devi answered his prayers, he told his wish to bring her to kerala. She agreed to come, but only in one condition - that when he was going she would follow him and if he stops and looks backs,she will stay there itself and not continue.Adi shankaracharya readily agreed.So they started walking down from Kodachadri hills.While walking he could always hear her anklets,so he knew that she was with him.Suddenly,the sound stopped.Adi shankara looked back in intense doubt.When he saw she was still with him, Adi shankara apologized, knowing that he had broken her condition.Devi said from now on she will bless her devotees here, in Mookambika.But he was determined to take her to Kerala.Onseeing his determination she said Fine then.In the morning, from 4 to 5 I will reside in Chottanikkara temple and bless my devotees.Then I will return to Mookambika.Even now the temple opens only around 5 o clock which, is a little later than normal temples.
