think of the angel and lo!she brings. :clap Dear Chith, The navarathri slokas are welcome. The Saraswathi slokas are very unheard of one. I really likedthem. Can you post something on shakambari.Continue the good work of documenting your wonderful collections for progeny. Regards, Meenu
great! Dear Chitra ma'am Great work.:clap The efforts you take to instill cultural values and tradition in the younger generation is amazing.I will chant the slokams you have given during navarathri without fail.. I have a doubt.. Women's magazines give an elaborate picture of what poojas are to be done during navarathri and I am not very sure I can do things as extensively as they have specified.. What are the most mandatory things to be done on those 9 days? I avoid onion garlic those 10 days,wash my hair all days,prepare a simple naivedhyam on all days and that's it.. Regards Sowmya
Ha ha ha, you have gone poetic ! My dear Meenu, Thanks for the F b ! Sarawathi shlokam is from Devi Bhagavatham & is a rare one. I have one on Shakambari, Devi kavacham & 2 Gayatri shlokas, also from Devi Bhagavatham. Thhey are all not at all common. I shall post all of them. If not with my dear I L friends, whom am I going to share them with, tell me, Meenu ! Love & regards, Chithra.

Dear Chithra, I planned to visit the Vijaya Stores before Nvarathri but did not have time. From tomorrow, Aravindh's exams begin and go on till 22nd. Also we have planned to have his tonsils removed during the holidays. I don't know how navarathri is going to be this year. But I m so happy to see the Durga slokams, the Devi namaskarams. I chant them sometimes for Aravindh. Thanks for the perfect format. I shall make it a habit to chant them daily and do the namaskaram for each line.
My dear Varloo ! I have given shlokas for Lakshmi & Saraswathi also. You can chant them on the respective days. I plan to post this week shlokas for Shakambari (anna paana samriddhi - abundance of grains & all eatables), Devi Kavacham (for protection) & Gayatri Shlokas ( for intellect). Please make a note of them also. Arvindh, being your priority now, you can always go to Vijaya stores later ! Thanks for your F B . Love & regards, Chithra.
