Shree Samrajya Lakshmi Temple

A Divine Testament to Leadership, Prosperity, and Cultural Heritage
Nestled in the serene village of Tonachagondanahalli, Madhugiri taluk, Karnataka, the Shri Samrajya Lakshmi Temple stands as a sacred testament to devotion, cultural heritage, and divine leadership. Dedicated to Goddess Bhagavati Shri Samrajya Lakshmi, this ancient temple holds a profound historical and spiritual significance, revered by legendary kings and noble rulers for centuries.
The History of Shri Samrajya Lakshmi Temple
The origins of this temple date back to an era when kings and palegaras (feudal lords) sought divine intervention for their kingdoms’ success. Shri Samrajya Lakshmi, an exalted form of Goddess Lakshmi, has been venerated by generations of rulers as the Kula Devi (family deity) and Aradhya Daiva (worshipped divinity).
Prominent historical figures, including the legendary Madakarinayaka, revered this temple as a sacred site of devotion. Kings and nobles regularly visited the temple to seek the Goddess’s blessings for their governance, military conquests, and the prosperity of their realms. Under her divine guidance, these leaders thrived, ensuring justice, welfare, and peace for their subjects.
However, as centuries passed, the temple fell into obscurity, its glory fading but never forgotten. The memories of its sacredness persisted in the hearts of local villagers and devotees, awaiting a resurgence that would honor its historical and spiritual significance.

A Sacred Revival Under Visionary Leadership
The Shri Samrajya Lakshmi Temple is now being restored to its former glory under the compassionate leadership of Sri Sri Dr. Krupanidhi Guru Ji, a revered spiritual guide known for his profound yogic practices and divine vision. Guided by mystical insights, Guru Ji has undertaken the noble mission of reviving the temple, supported by a dedicated team of devotees, local villagers, and spiritual leaders.
The restoration began with a grand Bhoomi Pooja and the performance of the sacred Shri Maha Chandika Yaga on 31st January 2016, under the guidance of Sri Sri Sri Pandith Srinivasan Swami Ji. These sacred rituals marked the official commencement of the temple’s rejuvenation, attracting hundreds of devotees from across the country.
This initiative is not merely an act of cultural preservation but a profound spiritual movement aimed at benefiting humanity. The temple is being transformed into a holistic spiritual center that serves as a bridge between ancient traditions and contemporary needs.
