Dear vidhyalakshmid,
Thanks.
Yes, the energy emanated by Kanakadhara has to be experienced to be believed !

wonderful to know the meaning of what we chant.
Excellent work
After chanting I get good vibrations and satisfaction
also.

Dear Mom,
As you know I am not missing this thread, when ever I get little free time I browse atleast this thread. Wonderful starting of Kanagadhara. I could not read every day as earlier because I am going through some physical problems I can not sit for long time. But I will surely read your meanings as you go along.

I am wondering how much collections you have...You are surely a gem.

Love you more
Birundha

Hello chitvish,
last friday I had a villakku pooja in my nearby temple. At that time the kurukkal told to all , every day or every friday we try to read the Kanakadhara sostram. Even now we don't worry about the sanskrit, In Kannadasan's Kanakadhara sostram is very clear
to spell. But I don't have a book. In your work is very useful to me.Thank you.

Dear Birundha,
Kannadasan's ponmazhai has been my all-time favourite !
So, it is my pleasure as well.
If you are not well, please take it easy.
Thanks for your nice words.
Love,
Chithra.

Chaste women are very shy to look at their husbands continuously and noticeably .That holds good for Devi also !
So, she looks at Him with discreet looks ,unnoticed(by others) and furtively.
Even that makes the Lord very happy.
Devi, who resides in the Lod's chest! If you give me even a momentary glance, I will be blessed with abundance in life !

Love,
Chithra.

The jewel called Kausthubha is decorating the neck of the Lord, who killed the demon called Madhu.
The ornament is made of blue beads, comparable only to the eyeballs of Devi.
Devi's glances give immense pleasure to the Lord.
If only that glance is directed to me, I will be blessed with prosperity.

Love,
Chithra.
