About Sree Devi Peetham

Sree Devi Peetham has been established and traditionally headed by Sri Lalithaananda Naatha (Sri Sashibhushan Mocherla) under the discipleship of Sri Sri Sri Siddheshwarananda Bharathi Maha Swamiji and Sri Mathaji Ramyananda Bharathi Swamini. This peetham was inaugurated by Sri Sri Sri Siddheshwarananda Bharathi Maha Swamiji during his visit to USA in April 2023. Sree Devi Peetham is envisioned to be a center of excellence for women empowerment and the focus here is to preserve and propagate Sanatana Dharma. Sanatana Dharma is the only one where women are worshipped as goddesses and hence women are placed on a high pedestal. They are worshipped as girls (Bala puja), as kanyas (Kanya puja), as gruhalaxmis (Suvasini Puja) and so on. Our Vedic scriptures and hymns glorify the dignity of women, “yatra naryastu pujyante ramante tatra devata,” which means, “Where women are honoured, there the deities are pleased.” The focus at Sree Devi Peetham is therefore to involve women in dharmic activities by showcasing their importance.
