The Sacred Origins

Gnaneshwari Sri Madhurakali Amman (Moola Sthanam) temple is situated at Siruvachoor (on Trichy Highway, near Perambalur) along with Deity Seeli Amman & Periyasamy. Many families have Madhurakali as their Hereditary Deity (Kuladeivam).

Among those families, Krishna Ramaswamy from Chennai also worships Sri Madhurakali Amman. By the grace of the deity, he blesses devotees and resolves their problems.

Guru Mama purchased land for about 56 cents in the year 2003 at Old Perungalattur. It has been divided into two parts — 34 cents for "Sri Madhurakali Amman Trust" & 22 cents for "Sri Madhurakali Amman Kainkarya Sabha".

The temple construction was started in the year 2007. Completed in 2015, the Kumbabishekam took place on 20th November 2016. The temple architect design is based on the magnificent Thanjavur architecture.

Sri Krishna Ramaswamy
"GURU Mama"

Sri Krishna Ramaswamy, commonly known as "GURU Mama", at Perungalathur near Chennai, one could see the active presence of Sri Gnaneshwari Madhurakali, enabling one to feel in person, the eminence of the Divine Mother.

For over 15 years, GURU Mama preached that the ultimate goal of human life is service to others, spending immense time and energy resolving the issues faced by innumerable people. The Mother blessed all devotees who took refuge, with power, wealth, health, and anything asked for.

GURU Mama showed his devotion towards helping the poor & destitute. Likeminded devotees united for his divine thoughts & proposed to construct the temple in the name of Almighty Goddess "Shri Gnaneshwari Madhurakali Amman".

GURU Mama demised on 17th of August 2020 and reached the Lotus feet of Sri Madhurakali Amman. The temple administration has been taken over by his son Mr. Sudharsanan and daughter-in-law Mrs. Raja Meenakshi Sudharsanan along with the trustee members.
