Akhilandeshvari Pushpamala Stotram

 

Akhilandeshwari is one of the main forms of Goddess Adi Parashakti. She is also worshipped along with Goddesses Meenakshi and Kamakshi, forming the Trishakti triad, the most powerful Goddesses in Shaktism. The name of the Goddess is divided into three components. "Akhila" means universe, "Anda" means cosmic egg and "Ishwari" means divine mother. Therefore, the Goddess, the divine mother who protects the entire universe in her womb (cosmic egg), is known as "Akhilandeshwari".

The famous abode of Akhilandeshwari is Jambukeswarar temple in Thiruvanaikaval, very close to Trichinopoly in Tamil Nadu.

It is said that Akhilāṇḍeśvarī-Puṣpamālā-Stotraṃ was written by Adhi Sankara. But this is not found in the complete approved list of works of Adhi Sankara. Another special feature of this Stotra is that it has 53 verses beginning with the 53 letters of the Sanskrit alphabet.
