Our Asramam Activities
and Events
Srimath Sathguru Santhananda Swamiji had a dream of founding an Asramam in Chennai, the Capital City of Tamil Nadu. Eventually, his dream became a reality and the Asramam now is functioning in No 1 Kambar Street, Rajakilpakkam, East Tambaram, Chennai 600 073.
The dedication ceremony for the Ashram was held on 24th June of 1999 under the guidance of his holiness.
It is Swamiji’s belief that if the Vedas are protected the world will prosper. Therefore, he is conducting Yajurveda Patasalas in Pudukkottai and Skandagiri. Here students get free boarding and lodging facilities. After Swamiji, who? Swamiji is never worried about the future. He has established two trusts, one for Pudukkottai Adhishtanam and another for Skandasramam. These trusts maintain accounts meticulously and up-to date. For the dissemination of spiritual ideas and to encourage scholars of Hinduism to express their ideas, Swamiji is conducting a Tamil monthly, “Sri Bhuvaneswari Vijayam”.
Yagnas
For the Welfare of the People
The Chennai Om Sri Skandasramam is a Hindu shrine situated at the Kambar Street of Mahalakshmi Nagar in the Selaiyur locality of Chennai. The temple is situated about 2 km from the Mahalakshmi Nagar bus stop, which lies on the Velachery-Tambaram main road.
Chennai Om Sri Skandasramam temple was consecrated by Swami Santhananda on 24 June 1999.
Sri Shanthananda Swamigal is also credited to have built the Adhishtanam at Pudukkottai, Om Sri Skandasramam at Salem and Dattagiri at Senthamangalam be for constructing this shrine at Selaiyur.
The shrine is primarily devoted to Goddess Ugraprathyangira Devi and Lord Sarabheswara. This shrine holds the unique distinction of being the first temple in India dedicated to Goddess Ugraprathyangira Devi. The town of Thirubhuvanam, near Thanjavur houses an ancient Chola temple dedicated to Lord Sarabheswara, while this temple is a more recent shrine dedicated to the Lord. However, Swami Santhananda is believed to have attained a heavenly abode even before the completion of this temple.
It has become famous thanks to the installation of the images of the goddess-mother SRI BHUVANESWARI, five-faced Maha Ganapathy, eighteen Siddhars, Sri Chakra Purna Maha Meru and massive sized Sivalingams. His Holiness has brought out the Mahamantras showing the proper way of Shakthi worship. For the welfare of people, thousands of Yagnas (Sacrificial fire worship) have been conducted.
