JAFFNA, SRI LANKA ,January 12, 2016 : Two white cobras have blessed the Mahalakshmi Kovil on Ekadasi day Wednesday 6th January 2016, in Clock Tower Road Junction at the corner of Mahatma Gandhi and Sir W Duraiswamy Roads. It is called the “Thanga Chakra Yoga Maha Lakshmi Kovil.” Around 1915, under a holy panneer tree was a sacred granite rock that was revered by the local family and others who visited the place to receive dry food offerings from the home of a lawyer and philanthropist, Sir W. Duraiswamy. He later became a well known public figure. He was an ardent devotee of Paramaguru Yoga Swamigal.This place was frequently visited by Paramaguru Siva Yoga Swamigal. Mahatma Gandhi has also visited this place. This unique Mahalakshmi Kovil, the only one of its kind in Sri Lanka, has been rebuilt last year with the idols of Lord Ganesha, Lord Muruga, Goddess Mahalakshmi (as the main sanctum- Moolasthaanam).
On the day of Ekadasi on 6 January 2016, after the Lords Narasimha and Lord Sudharsana were re-established in the Mahalakshmi Kovil in the heart of Jaffna opposite the main Clock Tower, two white Cobras were seen with dancing heads next to the Goddess Mahalakshmi, Lord Yoga Narasimha and Lord Sudharsana (Chakkaraththaalwar) respectively. Mr. Ushanthan who witnessed this at around 1.30 pm on 6th January remained motionless and enjoyed this rare occurrence. It is interpreted that this would bring prosperity to devotees and remove all obstacles leading to sustainable well-being to all Sri Lankans. A new era of Prosperity for the people is predicted to commence in 2016.
A special feature event at this Kovil is that “Good Thoughts,” “Natchinthanai” from the words of Paramaguru Siva Yogar Swamigal ( the most enlightened soul who passed away in 1965) is sung daily at 5.00 pm by ardent devotees.
