Chandra Mouleeshwara
We can see the map of ‘Akhanda
Bharatha’ (undivided India) in this.
This is the map of the era of Shree Rama. Its a naturally
formed wonder. This map is visible inside the Linga
also. Inside this linga, there is a Triangle and many
triangles inside it again. Each Triangle is of different
colour and size. There is a minute dot at the Centre
of this triangle. This small dot too is in triangular
shape. This dot is ‘Shakthi’
and ‘Shiva’. There is
a ‘Chandra Rekha’ in
this and because of this Rekha (Line) the ‘Linga’
is called ‘Chandra Mouleeshwara’.
Although there are Chandra Mouleeshwra Lingas in other
Shankaracharya Peethas, only here we can see the Linga
which is being worshipped by Shree Swamiji. The speciality
of this Linga is that it changes its brightness according
to the state of the moon during ‘Krishna
Paksha’ and ‘Shukla Paksha’.
Athma Linga
Shree Math was established in Gokarna.
The Athma Linga is found in Gokarna. The Lord Mahabaleshwara
Temple was under the administration of Shree Math
for thousands of years and thus regular pooja is offered
to this Linga even today.
Ganapathi
This is ‘Shona Bhadra’
Ganapathi. This is a naturally formed shape and it
has a depression in its head.
Shree Chakra
This is one of the rarest ‘Shree
Chakra’ ever found. This has several
‘Prushtas’ such as ‘Meru
Prushta’, ‘Bhoo Prushta’
etc. This Chakra itself is Goddess Raja Rajeshwari.
This Chakra is made of pure crystal. It appears as
if there is water in it. The lower layer of the chakra
has ‘Shiva Linga’ and
the upper layer has ‘Shree Chakra’,
which means that both ‘Shiva’ and ‘Shakthi’ are in
it. Although Shiva is in the lower layer and Shakthi
is in the upper layer, there is a ‘Shiva
Bimba’ on top of the Chakra.
Swarna Tankhe of Shree Rama
This ‘Tankhe’
has the entire family of ‘Swarnabhishiktha’
Lord Shree Rama. This is octagon in shape.
Nrusimha Saligrama
Only Sanyasis (Seers)
offer pooja to this Saligrama ( a
precious stone formation). Every dot found in this
Saligrama profuse unlimited energy.
Dwaraka Chakra
There is a hole in the front side
of this chakra which was found in Dwaraka. There are
several holes in this chakra and each hole has ‘Saligrama Sannidhya’. This Dwaraka chakra
is equivalent to the ‘Saligrama’.
Sudarshana Panchajanya
This is made of two parts and has
‘Shanka’ and ‘Chakra’
in it. You can find the ‘Swarna Rekhe’
(Golden Line) in it as well.
Paduke
This is the original Paduke (Sandals). In all three Padukes came from Shree
Shankaracharya and one is being used for
daily Pooja (Worship) of Shree Swamiji and the second
one is used for the pooja by the devotees and the
disciples and the third one is worshipped by both.
It is important to note that Shree Shankaracharya
has not given such Paduke to any other Peetha. The
Paduke which is now worshipped by Shree Samsthana
is the same which was worn by all the previous Swamijis
of the Shree Math.
Seetha Rama Saligrama
There are two Chakras in this Saligrama, one on the upper
layer and the other on the lower. The upper Chakra
symbolizes Shree Rama who descended from the heaven
and the lower one symbolizes Devi Seetha who was born
on earth. Seetha Rama Chakra means the wedding between
the Heaven and the Earth.
Balamuri Shankha (Right sided Conch)
One of the rarest and wonderful
conch, when kept near the ear, one can hear the roaring
sound of the ocean. This is worshipped daily.
Ghante (Bugle)
This has the ‘Onkar
Shakthi’ and the ‘Onkar
Shurthi’ (tune). It is a combination
of ‘Shankha’ and the
‘Chakra’. One represents
the ‘Naada’ and the other
the Jyothi. One can attain the darshan
of ‘Jyothi’ by listening
to the tune of this Bugle.
Idols of other Deities
There
are many other idols in the Golden Mantap which are worshipped daily .All these idols which are
worshipped by Shree Swamiji are the ones worshipped by
numerous sages earlier. They have come from the great Sage Agasthya, who hailed from South
India. The idols have immense power (Shakthi). All of
them were worshipped continually for hundreds of years.
Sage Agasthya had the ‘Sakshatkara’
of Lord Rama. The idols once worshipped by sage Agasthya
and now being worshipped by Shree Raghaveshwara
Swamiji are so powerful that if one prays in
front of them with all the devotion, it is certain that
all his/her demands will be met.
