There is a proverb in Tamil(an ancient Indian language) that the blessing for a child and rain are to be showered by the God and is beyond the human senses. How True!
Despite the immense growth in Medical Sciences, there are miracles happening everyday. Any sincere, continuous prayer to God for a healthy long living child will definitely be answered some day.
All through this blog, lets travel around some holy places and chant some slokas and mantras. Hope God answers our prayers.
The first God from whom we seek her courteous blessings is Goddess Rakshambigai.
Goddess Garbarakshambigai
The Goddess Garbarakshambigai is seated in the Grabarakshakambigai temple. The temple is situated in Thirukarukaavur, Papanasam Taluk, Tanjore District, TamilNadu. Garba means womb, Raksha means protect and ambigai means the divine mother (incarnation of Parvathi). A remarkable feature of the temple which distinguishes this temple from the innumerable other shrines of our land is that the Goddess Sri Garbharakshambika not only protects the embryo, but also blesses people who long for a child.
For centuries thousands of devotees, across the country, especially from South India visit the temple and have been offering prayers and special pujas to seek the blessings of the Goddess. Most of them have been blessed. They have conceived children and have gone on to deliver healthy babies.
