Sakthi Peetams are the temples devoted to Mother Goddess Adhiparasakthi. Each Sakthi Peetam has its own statue of Adhiparasakthi which is similar to the original in Melmaruvathur. This is known as the Karuvarai (Sanctum Sanctorum) Amma.

Sakthi Peetam

In Sakthi Peetam temple, there are no resident priests who are in charge of running the temple.

Instead, devotees of the Adhiparasakthi worship centers are in charge of the Sakthi Peetam take turns in administering to all the needs of the temple and the people who visit. This is similar to the way the Siddhar Peetam in Melmaruvathur is administered. Each Sakthi Peetam undertakes numerable charitable activities for people in their region.

First Sakthi Peetam in USA

During His Holiness Sri Adigalar's visit to US in September 2000 (S)HE said that Lansdale worship center in Pennsylvania will be getting a statue of Adhiparasakthi as all Sakthi Peetams in India have. This is a momentous occasion since it would be the first statue installed outside of India.

As per Adigalar's divine orders the Adhiparasakthi idol has been brought from India. The Idol is touring most part of the US to bless all the devotees. The worship centers in CA are inviting the Idol to CA during the months of January to March 2005. We hereby request you all to contact the CA worship centers take part in this holy event and donate generously for the sakthi temple construction work in Lansdale, PA.
