Your Inner Shakti
Devi is the supreme शक्ति (Shakti), the eternal source of creation, preservation, and destruction. She is the mother of the universe, dwelling in all beings as power, intelligence, and compassion. By her will, the cosmos exists, and through her grace, it is sustained.
About Sakti peedam
Simhapuri Shakti Peedam traces its humble beginnings to two small-scale peedams in Singapore — Sri Simhapuri Maha Samayapura Mariamman Peedam (SSMSMP) and Arulmigu Sri Mariamman Peedam (ASMP). These peedams were independently established in honour of Sri Samayapura Mariamman and Sri Mariamman, respectively, within the residences of Peedatipathis Shashedearan and Saravanan.
The word Simhapuri refers to Singapore — the Lion City — while Peedam signifies a sacred abode where Ambal resides and blesses devotees. Together, the name Simhapuri Shakti Peedam symbolises “the sacred abode of Ambal in the Lion City.”
About
Sri Tejomayananda Natha Saraswathi
Peedathi
From a young age, Saravanan (Annā) experienced deep spiritual visions and a strong connection to the Divine Mother, which led him onto the path of Devi Upasana. Over the years, he received initiations in Third Eye practices, Kali Mantra, Kundalini Yoga, and later the sacred Sri Vidya tradition under Sri Chaitanyanandanatha Saraswati (Haran Aiyaa). Guided by profound spiritual experiences and divine revelations, including a life-changing mystical encounter with Jagadguru Sri Katambari Babaji, Annā was inspired to dedicate his life to Devi worship and service to humanity. In 2013, together with his cousin and spiritual brother Shashedearan, he established Simhapuri Shakti Peedam and consecrated a granite murti of the Devi through Maha Kumbabishegam. Professionally a nurse and a graduate of the National University of Singapore, Annā has devoted many years to Sri Vidya Sadhana, conducting poojas, homams, meditation sessions, and spiritual workshops in Singapore.
In 2023, he received Poorna Deeksha and the spiritual name Sri Tejomayananda Natha Saraswati, continuing his mission to spread the wisdom of Sri Vidya and serve humanity through the grace of the Divine Mother and his Gurus.
