Sri Gurubhyo Namah

"shrI guruH sarvakAraNabhUtA shaktiH" - Bhavanopanishad

The auspicious master is the all-causative power

"guruH pita gururmAtA gururdevo gururhariH |

shive ruShTe gurustrAtA gurau ruShTena kashchana || "

Should the Lord be wrathful against you, the Guru will guard you; but if the Guru himself is displeased with you, no one can save you.

The best guru bhakti is to love all, to be kind and compassionate towards all and never hurt any living creature—to try as much as possible to benefit life around us, to be good, do good, and to serve, so that out of us only good comes, only help comes, only service comes, only usefulness. All that is positive, creative, constructive, auspicious, good, beautiful—that only should come to all life around us, all God’s creation, through our thoughts, words and actions. Anything that is negative, anything that is destructive, harmful or injurious should never come - Swami Chidananda

Our Sri Rajarajeswari Temple

The SRI RAJARAJESWARI TEMPLE located in Rush (Rochester) NY is very unique to North America that primarily functions as a teaching temple. This temple teaches the essence and rituals of Sanatana Dharma as per the Sri Vidya and other vedic traditions to all those interested, regardless of caste, creed or national origin.

This is a Temple where the liberating knowledge of Divine Mother and Lord Siva flows freely towards all, and all are invited to receive divine blessings, to learn about Sri Vidya and Saiva Siddhantam, and to travel on the path that leads to the ocean of divine consciousness, love and bliss that is our beloved Rajarajeswari Amma.

Sri Vidya Temple Vision and Mission

God as Brahman has no form, existing beyond mind, time and space. However, the mystic power of God also exists with form to delight and kindle understanding amongst devotees. Hindus worship a wide variety of divine manifestations. In this temple we worship Mother as Sri Rajarajeswari Devi. She is filled with compassion for Her children of all ages, castes and genders. Her grace is infinite and may be experienced by all who approach Her . The Sri Vidya Temple is dedicated to the mission of teaching devotees to nurture their personal relationship with the Divine Mother. It is run entirely by volunteers who experience Her shakti and grace by participating in the worship through loving service.
