Kula Vruddhi
Blesses devotees with the growth, strength and continuation of the family lineage.
The Story of Veereswara
"Darshan of Sri Veereswara Mahadeva is associated with Kula Vruddhi — the growth and continuation of one's lineage."
The sacred story begins with King Amitrajit, a righteous ruler and devotee of Sri Krishna. Narada Maharshi tells him about Malayagandhini, a Vidyadhara princess abducted by the demon Kankalaketu and taken to Patala.
Guided by Narada, Amitrajit reaches Patala. Malayagandhini reveals that Kankalaketu can be defeated only with his own Trishula. The king confronts the demon, destroys him and rescues the princess.
Amitrajit and Malayagandhini later marry and worship a sacred Shiva Linga. Malayagandhini prays for a courageous and powerful son devoted to Lord Shiva.
Through Shiva's grace, a son is born and later receives the blessings of the Ashta Matrikas — Brahmi, Maheshwari, Vaishnavi, Kaumari, Varahi, Aindri, Chamunda and Mahalakshmi.
Because the child was born through Shiva's grace and grew into a great warrior, the sacred Linga became renowned as Sri Veereswara Shivalingam.
"Courage guided by Dharma and blessed by divine grace protects both the individual and the lineage."
