Our Beloved Ambal
Her Holiness Pujyashri Mathioli Saraswathy
From Smt. Madhuri Sivaganesh's book Surrendered
​​Her Holiness, Pujyashri Mathioli Saraswathy, known as Sri Amma/ Sri Akka is the true incarnate of Goddess Akhilandeshwari. Jagadhguru Shri Chandrashekharendra Saraswathi Swamigal also known as Mahaperiyava of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, recognized HER and revealed to the world HER true identity - That SHE is Goddess Akhilandeshwari.
Goddess Akhilandeshwari, the beautiful Goddess of Thiruvanaikovil, located in the hearts of Trichy, Tamil Nadu (India). Goddess Akhilandeshwari and Lord Jambukeshwarar (Lord Shiva) are the two main deities worshipped at this temple.
Akhilandeshwari literally means 'Ruler of the universe'. Being the Ruler of the Universe, The Goddess lived amidst us like a normal human being. SHE spent all HER life serving the community and dedicating all HER time for the benefit of others. SHE has been an integral family member for every devotee, guiding them in the direction of truth.
Amma shared a special, unique bond with each and every devotee. SHE set an example for all of us by leading a life of humility and simplicity. SHE has left a spark of HER presence in all HER devotees. Infinite is HER Love, HER charm, HER grace and HER magnanimity which will live on forever...

Mathioli Charanam
From Smt. Madhuri Sivaganesh's speech on
Sankatahara Chathurthi, in New Jersey, USA
It is not a small thing when I say ‘Incarnation walking the earth’. We are all mere humans and when we say incarnation, it is a huge thing. We have spoken to HER, communicated with HER, we have sat next to HER and talked to HER like we talk to our next door neighbour. SHE is always so friendly, so sweet and so kind. An Avataram coming down to our level, making us feel comfortable was our relationship with HER. If you talk to anyone in Nandalala that SHE has known, they will tell you the same thing. SHE will talk to you like the sweetest Aunt. We refer to HER as Ambal.
‘9’ is a very powerful number for Devi. The fascinating part is SHE was born on October ‘9th’, during Navarathri on Saraswathy Pooja. So SHE was named Saraswathy. SHE left HER Physical Form on May ‘9th’, 2018. That cannot be a coincidence. SHE is the ONE who is an Avatharam of Goddess Parvathy, since Akhilandeshwari is a form of Goddess Parvathy. HER temple is in Thiruvannaikaaval in Trichy, which is one of the Pancha Bhootha Sthalams of Lord Shiva. HE represents water in this temple and hence HE is called Jambukeshwarar (Jambu means water). So, Goddess Akhilandeshwari is the Ardhangini (Other Half) of Lord Jambukeshwar and HER Avataram is Shree Amma.
SHE gave HER Son to us in the Form of Shree Sankata Vimochana Ganapathy in the form of a powerful Panchaloka Idol. We have been doing the monthly Sankatahara Chaturthi Pooja since 2013. If we can do it without any hindrance, it is only HER blessing. Every month, all these devotees come together and they do whatever they can, whether it is to sing, set up or do the alankaram. SHE initiated this Pooja and SHE initiated everything, so it is still going on. Humans can’t do this. It is not possible. This is not a capacity for humans. This is something that the Divine initiated. Then it goes on.
"Akhilandeshwari literally means 'Ruler of the universe'. Being the Ruler of the Universe, The Goddess lived amidst us like a normal human being. SHE spent all HER life serving the community and dedicating all HER time for the benefit of others. SHE has been an integral family member for every devotee, guiding them in the direction of truth."
