GAYATHTHRI PEEDAM

The Gayathri Peetam, established by Gayathri Siddhar Sri Murugesu Maharishi, holds a revered position in Nuwara Eliya's spiritual tapestry. Situated in Sri-Nagar, or the Metropolis of Prosperity, the Gayathri Cathedral, also known as Sri-Lankatheeswarar Temple, stands as a spiritual beacon. Located at Lady Mc-Callum Drive in Nuwara Eliya, often termed "Little England" for its idyllic ambiance, this colonial township attracts visitors seeking spiritual solace amidst its tranquil environs.

Nuwara Eliya, perched over 7000 feet above sea level in Sri Lanka's central province, is famed for its natural splendor. Enveloped by lush tea gardens, verdant vegetable plots, cascading waterfalls, and pristine woodlands, it offers a sanctuary for those seeking inner peace and spiritual enlightenment.

The Gayathri Cathedral, exclusively dedicated to Goddess Gayathri, holds profound significance as the first temple of its kind. Here, the continuous chanting of the Gayathri Vedic Mantra fills the air with divine resonance, bestowing blessings upon all who visit.

The chosen location of the Gayathri Peetam carries deep spiritual meaning, selected by Gayathri Siddhar after divine revelation. Confirmed by Maharishi Sivabalayogi Maharaj, the site's sanctity was further affirmed. Legend has it that the Tri Moortis - Siva, Brahma, and Vishnu - manifested here during Prince Mahenadan's Siva Thapas and Nikumbala Yagna.

The consecrated "Athmalingam" at the Gayathri Peetam, declared "Sri Lankatheeswarar" by the revered sage Sivabalayogi Maharaj, holds immense significance. Originating from North India's Narmada river, this sacred Lingam is part of a collection of 108 Lingams discovered by Germans. Gayathri Siddhar's vision includes constructing a Sivalaya for these 108 Lingams, a project currently underway.

In summary, the Gayathri Peetam and Sri-Lankatheeswarar Temple serve as conduits for spiritual devotion and enlightenment. Nestled amidst Nuwara Eliya's serene beauty, these sacred sites beckon visitors on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening.
