Coimbatore: When something goes beyond human control, he leaves it on God, though we can’t say, how fast God works on this notion of surrender. But hopefully, Goddess Corona Devi would provide us a quick redressal in getting rid of the ongoing pandemic.
Establishing a black stone idol of Goddess Corona deity, the Coimbatore city has organized a 48-day Maha Yagya to help folks to slacken the fear and discrimination against coronavirus victims.
In the wake of increasing cases of corona infection, the statue of Goddess Corona has been installed in Coimbatore as a spiritual gesture.
Commenting on this, the Swamis at Sri Sivalingeswara Swamy of Kamatchipuri Adhinam said, “Today, human life has been disrupted by the coronavirus. History has records, many people lost their lives when measles and cholera struck the country. Mariamman, Magaliamman, and Karumariamman have worshiped in the villages with a faith that the deity is the helper of the helpless. The places where the pitchers with neem leaves placed and worshiped later turned into temples. It is a cult created by the people even though there are no scriptures written on it.
Similarly, today it has been decided to establish a black stone idol of Goddess Corona and perform a 48 day Maha Yagya with a belief that the Goddess helps people avoid fear and discrimination against coronavirus victims. No devotees are allowed to perform this Puja. Only temple staff can attend the Maha Yagya. Today, the worship of the goddess Corona is as essential as the presence of Mariamman and Mahaliamman in the ancient villages.
Face masks and social distancing, and healthy food is essential for people to behave in accordance with MoHFW guidelines. On behalf of the World Peace Divine Council, which is operated through Adhinam, the villages are regularly provided with Kabasura drink, masks, and lunch. Help those who do not have it,” he said.
On the contrary, many non – scientific methods are being adopted to treat coronavirus. In this case, the new Corona deity is currently being consecrated and arrangements are being made to worship it is something that never happened before. Usually, some idyllic practices are followed when consecrating such idols. The same seems to have been followed here.
According to the temple source, it seems Goddess Corona would be celebrated in the area for the next 5 years. However, any misinterpretations or rumors should be avoided that only worshiping upon Corona Devi will help people get rid of the infection.
