Kailash Sun Moon Kashi Kanchi Tulsi Brahman Kama

Once in Kailasa, Gauri playfully closed both the eyes of Mahadeva.

As the two eyes of the Lord are the sun and the moon, the entire creation was stooped in darkness. Due to this, everyone gave up Nitya Karmas and offerings to Devatas and Pitrs. Angry at this act, Sri Mahadeva addressed Gauri thus: “You have erred by closing my eyes. You have resulted in causing kartavya lopa to thousands of sages and vaidikas. You have to perform a severe penance to cleanse yourself of this sin.

Go to Kashi and undertake a vow (vrata) for sometime.

Then you shall be allowed to go to Kanchi and have a vision of Sri Kamakshi. She is the final resort for getting rid of all sins.

On the banks of river kampA, perform a penance with Sri Tulasi as the witness”. Having said so, Mahadeva disappeared.

Sri Gauri followed her husband’s order and after a long penance, Sri Kamakshi appeared before her. “Child, Gauri, I am pleased with your devotion. Open your eyes”. Hearing the affectionate words of the Mother, Gauri opened her eyes and was choked with devotion to find before her eyes the glorious form of Bhagavati Kamakshi Mahabhattarika. Filled with tears of joy, she at once prostrated at the lotus feet of Bhagavati along with her parivAra like chaNDika, mangala etc. Gauri performed pradakShiNA around Bhagavati and prostrated repeatedly with folded hands. Sri Kamakshi lifted Uma with her hands gently and said, “Child, you will soon be blessed with the company of your husband again. You are my representative and there is no difference between us. All sins are destroyed by worshipping you and that being the case, where is the question of you accruing sin? Great Yogis refer to you as Brahman. All this is simply my leela to bless the worlds”. Having said so, Bhagavati Kamakshi entered the heart of Gauri and disappeared from view.

Meanwhile, overcome with grief due to separation from Gauri, Chandrashekhara began to perform a severe penance under a mango tree (ekAmra vrkSha) in Kanchi. Srividya Parameshwari appeared before him in due course of time and addressed him thus: “Mahadeva! You once destroyed Manmatha who is now stationed in my service at Kamakoti Peetha. Accept him again and stay here with Gauri in this Peetha called ‘ekAmra’, with the title ekAmreshwara. Accept Gauri who I have blessed with my own epithet – kAmkAkshi, currently living by the banks of kampA”. Prostrating repeatedly at the feet of Mahatripurasundari, Mahadeva accepted Gauri again as his wife. This divine couple protects devotees in Kanchi and is known as ekAmreshwara and Gauri Kamakshi.
