From today, Navratri is started.
In this festive season, we worship Goddess Durga..
We worship other goddesses too.
We know about Adi Shankaracharya.
When he was performing penance , it occurred to him that Goddess Sharada is living in Kashmir.
He wanted the Goddess to come to South India.
Likewise, Adi Shankaracharya requested the Goddess.
How can a mother say ' no ' to her child ???
Goddess agreed but put one condition.
The condition is that Shankaracharya must walk in the front. Goddess will follow him till he stops and turns back.
Shankaracharya agreed.
Shankaracharya started his journey towards South India and Goddess was following him.
Shankaracharya could hear the sound of anklet of Goddess assuring him that Goddess is following him.
This continued for many days.
But suddenly one day, the sound of anklet got stopped.
Shankaracharya didn't hear the sound and he was worried.
Finally Shankaracharya thought of breaking his promise.
Shankaracharya stopped and turned back to watch whether the Goddess is still following.
To Shankaracharya 's surprise, Goddess was following him without making any sound !!
Now the promise is broken and Goddess said that she will stay in that place itself.
That place is Kolluru.
