Garbharakshāmbikā Stotra

Sri Garbharakshāmbikā Amman temple is situated in Thirukarukavur (Thirukkarugavur), a small village in Thanjavur district, Tamil Nadu, South India. This is an ancient temple of God Shiva dedicated to Sri Mullaivananathar and Sri Garbharakshāmbikā Amman. Appar, Sundarar and Sambandhar, the three famous Nāyanmārs have celebrated the glory of this temple in soul stirring verses.  

The remarkable feature which distinguishes this temple from the other shrines is that Goddess Sri Garbharakshāmbikā Amman here cures infertility related problems to women, blesses them to conceive and helps them for safe and trouble-free delivery.

This had been composed by a great scholar who was an expert in upanyasas. Sengalipuram Anantarama Dikshitar (2 August 1903 - 30 October 1969) was a Śrauti scholar and was a great exponent of the art of upanyasas (discourses) on various subjects. 

The Goddess is believed to help save pregnancies of ladies. Recitation of this stotra would help all lady devotes to have an easy and successful delivery. They are also requested to visit the mother in her temple and bring back the blessed oil from there, which they can apply on their stomach.
