THE GODDESS WHO HAS PERIODS |

| At Kumbakonam
there was a rich Rayar. Evil spirits possessed his wife. It was so terrible that she went
completely mad during spasms of attack. Rayar tried all the available treatments including
mantras but to no avail. Finally on somebody's advice he proceeded to Rameswaram. On the
way at Madurai they met Yajnavesa Sastry who advised them to proceed to Chengannur. Accordingly the couple arrived here and started bhajan and Pushpanjali worship daily. On the fortieth day the woman was rid of all the spirits and became normal. She donated all her jewelry and made various other Offerings to the deities before returning to Kumbakonam, hale and hearty. There are scores of instances like this. Not only those Possessed but also those mentally deranged and afflicted with incurable diseases come here for worship. Chottanikara and Ettumanur are two other temples in Kerala famous for the cure of such ailments.
