About Jillellamudi Amma Temple
Jillellamudi is a village in Bapatla district of Andhra Pradesh, north of the mandal headquarters Bapatla (Wikipedia, citing Census of India 2011; the Census recorded a population of 1,070). It is known for Matrusri Anasuya Devi, called Jillellamudi Amma or Viswajanani (“Mother of All”). Amma was born on 28 March 1923 at Mannava in Guntur district and died at Jillellamudi on 12 June 1985 (Wikipedia). The address line below still says Guntur District because the village was in that district earlier.
What the Sree Viswajanani Parishat Trust describes
The trust’s website (viswajanani.org) describes a campus of institutions rather than a single temple:
- Annapurnalayam: a common dining hall founded on 15 August 1958 that serves simple vegetarian food day and night to those who come.
- Andarillu (“House of All”): founded in 1960 to provide lodging for residents and visitors. The trust also lists Adaranalayam, Dhyana Mandiram and Vaatsalyalayam under the Andarillu heading.
- Temples: the trust lists Anasuyeswaralayam, Hymalayam, Nageswaralayam and Vinayakalayam. Hymalayam has a white marble idol of Hyma, and Akhanda Namam (continuous recitation of Amma’s name) is arranged close by. The trust says Amma laid the foundation stone for the present Anasuyeswaralayam in the mid-1950s.
- Education and health: the first class of the college began on 6 August 1971 with three lecturers and 25 children, and the Matrusri Medical Centre, which the trust says serves the primary health needs of nearby villages, began in 1978.
The trust’s site has a Daily Schedule page and a Live page; use them for current programme times.
