Maasaani Amman – The Goddess of Justice
Once the sage Vishwamitra, went to a
hilly terrain known as Kadaganachi malai and meditated upon lord Shiva. There
was a demoness named Tataka in the forests of Kadaganachi malai and Vishwamitra
was sure that she would try to disturb his penance. Tataka had the evil powers
possessed by Ravana and she used it for all her evil deeds. So Vishwamitra
decided to take the help of Rama and Lakshmana to fight the demoness.
Rama and Lakshmana agreed to protect
the sage and came to live in the forests till his penance was over. Both of
them wanted the blessings of Goddess Shakti to defeat the demoness. Shakti too
tells them how to fight the demoness. The brothers then make an idol of the
Goddess Shakti in clay and propitiated her. Shakti tells them that after
defeating Tataka, they should also destroy the clay idol they made of Shakti.
However, Rama forgets to destroy the idol. Later, when he remembered, He said
that the statue would be his representative and guard the village. It is
believed that this Goddess is Masaniamman and that she also has the power to
punish evil doers.
According to another legend, there was
a couple (names unknown) in the beautiful village of Anaimalai. Once when the
wife was pregnant, she refused to go to her mother’s house as was the practice
in those days and didn’t want to leave her husband. One day when she felt that
she would deliver the child, the couple decided to go to the next village where
a popular midwife lived, so that they could have her assistance with the
delivery. The path to the next village was through a dense jungle and it was
getting dark. The lady told her husband to go and find the midwife as she
couldn’t walk anymore. Reluctantly, he left and reached the midwife’s door.
On seeing him the midwife was shocked
and told him she had had a bad dream about a pregnant lady that morning and
immediately left with him to the spot where he had left his wife. There they
had the shock of their lives. The lady had delivered a baby and both mother and
baby had been murdered in a gruesome manner. The husband in his grief asked the
midwife in what way was her dream related to this murder of his wife.
The midwife then related her dream of
the morning. When the husband left his wife, a big dark form stalks her. Seeing
the form the lady screams in fright and tells it to go away. But the figure
stalks her and she began running. While running she slips over some cow dung
and falls down. The figure then stooped to hold her hand. At that moment she
screams at him to leave her alone and he is struck by lightning by some force.
The figure becomes blind and runs away.
Hearing this story from the midwife,
the husband breaks down in tears. The midwife then reassured him that the
mother and child were an incarnation of Shakti and that the incident was also
God’s way to free the sins of Kamadenu, the divine cow.
The people of the village who had
gathered to listen to this story were surprised. How can a cow dung be freed
from sin. How can that be possible?
The midwife began her tale of the cow
dung. When the devas and asuras were churning the ocean for nectar, Kamadenu,
Kalpakavriksha and Iravat the white elephant, were among the things obtained.
The devas took the above three. Jealous of the devas, the asuras decided to
kidnap Kamadenu. Kamadenu prayed to Shiva and Parvati for protection. Parvati
and Shiva gave Kamadenu protection and housed it in a garden.
Meanwhile, the Devas were searching for
Kamadenu and went to Shiva and Parvati and asked them to help find the cow.
Parvati told Kamadenu that the Devas had come looking for her. In a moment of
fear, Kamadenu dropped some dung in front of Parvati and hung its head in
shame. Smiling at the shamefaced cow, Parvati said that the incident was a
precursor to her incarnation on earth and that the cow need not be worried. She
also said that cow will be worshipped by all and that her dung would be
considered a symbol of purity by mankind. Kamadenu was relieved of her fear and
left happily. She also told the devas to look after Kamadenu and that was this
garden, finished the midwife. That the lady had slipped on the cow dung was an
indication that Shakti had incarnated in the form of the lady, she added. Since
Shakti herself came into contact with the dung, Kamadnu was freed from sin.
(This is the only explanation I could figure.:)
(Not a very convincing explanation, but
the book on the temple has put it this way. So one can draw their own
conclusions)
That is the history of the village
goddess Masaniamman.
Situated at a distance of 15 miles from
Pollachi, this sacred shrine attracts a large number of devotees, particularly
women. There are several uncommon features about this shrine. The temple serves
as a welfare government listening to the grievances of the public, as a
clinical dispensary remedying the physical ills of people and as a court of
justice relieving the distress of men and women.
Devotees record their aspirations,
claims and hopes on a piece of paper and submit it to the temple priest to be
placed on the trident of the deity. It is firmly believed that the Goddess
responds to their prayers within a period of 19 days. There is a stone image in
the temple representing the Goddess of Justice with the body of a serpent. This
is popularly known as `Neethi Kal' (stone of justice). People harassed by
enemies, merchants meeting with loss in business or men and women who have lost
their belongings, take bath, sport holy ashes of the shrine and then grind
chillies in the stone grinder of the temple and smear the paste on the so
called `Neethi kal'. In the sanctum sanctorum, the sprawling image of
Masaniamman lying on her back, measures 15 feet from head to foot. It is a
giant sized stucco work painted in flamboyant colours.
What fascinates one is not only the
size of the image but also the posture of it. Nowhere else can one see the
image of the Goddess in a lying posture. The deity has four hands - two placed
on the ground and two raised above. While the top left hands hold a skull and a
snake, the two right hands hold a tiny drum and a trident.
In front of the sanctum sanctorum is a
niche wherein is enshrined Mahamuniappan. The temple claims both legendary and
historical origin
Devotees flock to the temple in large
numbers on Tuesdays and Fridays as well as on Krithigai and Newmoon day. Kundam
festival is associated with the shrine. Every year on New moon day of the Tamil
month, `Thai', and the temple flag is hoisted. On the 14th day at 3 a.m., special
worship is performed for the deity. On the 16th day comes the Chithirai Ther
festival. At 10 p.m. the holy fire of the kundam is lighted. On the 17th day at
9 a.m. devotees, in great excitement and frenzy jump into a fire pit sprawling
to a staggering length of 50 feet for fire-walking. On the 18th day, the flag
is lowered and `Mahamuni Pooja' is performed. On the 19th day holy anointment
takes place (maha abhishekam).
