KAMADHENU

OM NAMAH SHIVAYA

KAMADHENU WORSHIPPED GOD SHIVA 
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Namo Devyai Maha Devyai
Surabhyai Cha Namo Namah|
Gavam Bheeja Swaroopaaya
Namaste Jagad Ambike||"
The above stotra is believed to have been
Indra's prayer to the sacred Kamadhenu(The Sacred Wish Fulfilling
Cow). Translated in English, means the following:
"Salutations to the great Goddess,
The One who fulfils devotees' wishes
The One who lived as a seed in all cows,
Salutations to Her, the Mother of the Universe"
---------------------------------------------------------------
God Shiva on sensing the conceit of Brahma as
the creator of the world, sent Kamadhenu to Vanji forest in Karur to
take up the duty of creation and instructed her to worship the Shiva
lingam hidden in an anthill at the forest. When Kamadenu was
performing the abishekam to the lingam with its milk, her hoof
accidentally hit the lingam and injured it. The scar left on the lingam
is seen on its back even now as a depression. Kamadenu pleaded
guilty. The Lord told her that He will be hailed as Pasupatheeswarar
as she worshipped him at this place thus according a special status to Kamadenu. Pleased with this, Kamadenu continued the work of
creation. Meanwhile, realising his mistakes Brahma took up severe
penance worshipping Lord Shiva in order to get back his place in
Satya loka. Pleased with his prayers, the Lord restored the power of
creation back to Brahma and took Kamadenu along with him. Later
on a temple came to be built in that place. There is a brahma
theertham created by Brahma to the north of the river Amaravathy
