Sharanalayam - an abode of peace and tranquility for the soul
"SHARANALAYAM", forms a divine, consecrated domain, under the aegis of our Jagadguru Shri. Mahaperiyava, who bequeathed our revered GR Mama as the torch bearer of its sacrosanct undertakings and pursuits.
​
In the gracious presence of Shri. Chandrasekharendra Swamigal's benediction, this holy turf bears to contribute towards surmounting worries devotees hold and in making it less difficult for them by helping them lead a life generously blessed by our omniscient. The journey from the genesis of Sharanalayam till date has seen several ardent devotees of all age-groups to becoming a seminal part of the squad, and committing themselves voluntarily to embark upon
"Kainkaryam" or "Free-willed service", with the blessings of the Supreme soul.
Our pillar, strength and Guru Shri. GR Mama, with the divine sanction of Shri. Mahaperiyava, fervently yearns to unfurl the presence of "Sharanalayam", by spreading its wings boundlessly.
"Every devotee must be abundantly blessed for by Shri. Mahaperiyava", has always been the motto of Sharanalayam and shall forever remain an incessant commitment.
Deities of Sharanalayam
Kamakshi Ambal
​
Goddess Kamakshi embodies the autonomy of nature, one who can never be conquered.
​
The name Kamakshi connotes ‘the desirable one’ or more literally, ‘one whose eyes are full of desire”. She is depicted holding symbols associated with the god of love.
The goddess is worshipped in the form of a womb. She arouses passion for the world at large. The goddess is always seen or shown sitting or stepping in lord shiva, thus awakening him from his meditative inward-looking slumber.
​
Sharanalayam feels the very presence of goddess Kamakshi, as our Jagadguru Shri. Mahaperiyava or Chandrashekharendra Swamigal is considered goddess Kamakshi’s avataaram and is fondly revered in this holy place.
UTHARAVU PERIYAVA

​
Mahaperiyava is 'Prapancha Deivam' and He is Omniscient and Omnipresent, but right from the beginning, Utharavu Periyava has been grating devotees permission to perform Guru Pooja.
