HOW KAMALAMMA GARU BECAME SRI MATA KAMALAMBIKA (Part 3)

---

The divinity of Kamalamma garu got noticed not only by similar sadhaks, even ordinary people from far and near were drawn towards her Tejas. She exhibited extraordinary compassion for the suffering specially the women. Instead of simply providing instant remedies for their problems through her spiritual powers she introduced and initiated them to niyamas and deeksha. She guided and continues to guide Her devotees and disciples through Her words and presence. Her guidance can be felt even to this day by people who are intimately connected to Her through their love and devotion. There are so many experiences narrated by those elevated sishyas! Since Her innate nature is to guide people and impart the true nature of the Self, She is the very essence of GODDESS SARASWATHI!

There are no words to describe Her compassion. Devotees talk to Her for solace, express their doubts and problems; cry their heart out and seek Her divine intervention and help. In no time their prayers are answered and they are assured of protection and guidance (Abhaya). Thus She is Parvathi Incarnate in instilling faith, discipline and devotion in the hearts of Her disciples!

The Divyacharitra relates how the devotees witnessed various Siddhis of the Mata. Materialising of sufficient food for all the bhaktas who arrived without any intimation, curing of dreadful diseases like cancer and tumour, converting the tumour of the stomach into a baby for a childless mother, saving the life of devotees who were at different places while she was at Eluru, predicting the calamities that were to befall on Her devotees and also suggesting remedial measures…… are some of the innumerable experiences related to us. There are so many incidents that we do not know and are far beyond our understanding! Such an Animadyashta Siddha Mata is definitely the very element of Mother Mahalakshmi!  In this context I remember an incident narrated by a young lady in very recent times. She had not seen, heard or even known about Kamalambika Peetam or its followers. She was casually following the narration of Mata Kamalambika’s Jeevitacharitra in one of the Telugu TV channels that was telecast at a very odd hour in the afternoon 1.30pm IST. There was no display of photographs or pictures of the Mata or the Peetam during the program. In a few days, this lady had a repeated vision of an old lady seated on a wooden chair and handing out precious gems to her from a huge pot. Somehow she got guidance and came to Bhuvaneswari Devi temple at Dilshuknagar. She saw the photo of Kamalamma garu kept there and identified her to be the lady whom she saw in her dreams. Who other than Narayana Priyavallabha can bring out precious stones from a pot and distribute them to the devotees. That is why we say that She was Mahalakshmi Herself!

Thus Kamalamma garu exhibited the essence of Trishakthi i.e. an AMBIKA in human form to lead and protect us. She firmly established Herself in that state of AMBIKA through Her internal yogic practices and Her external actions; which either became a service or an element of spiritual upliftment! She was among the worldly objects; its challenges and difficulties, its temptations and desires; its joy and sorrow; but She was far beyond and above these dualities. The troubles and trifles; joy and sorrow; loss and gain; victory and defeat of Her human life or that of Her devotees did not disturb Her inner tranquillity! She remained a true AMBIKA in all Her interactions by being detached yet compassionate (Nirlepa) and receptive yet unaffected (Nirmala)!

Since the human body in which she manifested had to degenerate as per Prakruthi Dharma, she dropped her body with ease and spread HER BOUNDLESS, ETERNAL SHAKTHI ALLOVER AND REMAINS AS NITHYA AMONG US!

Thus occurred the transformation of Smt.Kamalamma garu to Her Holiness Mata Sri Kamalambika!
