Navratri Special - Golu Season 2 - Ep3 Soundariya Lahari 3


Golu Season 2 

Ep3 Soundariya Lahari 3



Hello! Welcome back to Golu Season 2 and this episode features the 3rd Sloka of the Soundariya Lahari.  I'm sorry, I can't write all slokas within 10 days. So instead, I'll write the important ones. So some of us know Soundariya Lahari it is a great set of 100 slokas and it is written by Sri Adi Sankara Charya.



Hello friends! This is the start point. 

Here's the 3rd Sloka: 

Sloka 

Avidyaanaam antastimira-
Mihira-dveepanagaree
Jadaanaam chaitanya-stabaka- 
Makaranda stutijharee
Daridraanaam chintaamani 
Gunanikaa janmajaladhau 
Nimagnaanaam damshtraa 
Muraripuvaraahasya bhavati

Meaning

The dust of Your feet is like the city of the rising Sun removing the darkness from the minds of those ignorant ones, like the pollen dust from the bunches of flowers of the Kalpaka tree (Wish-yielding tree), conferring the Knowledge  of the Self (Atman) on those inert ones who lack discrimination,  like the heap of Chintaamani gems (which grant any desired wish) to the poor, and is like the canine teeth of Murari (Vishnu) who His incarnation  as Aadivaraaha  while rescuing Goddess Mother Earth from the bottom of the ocean , to those drowned in the ocean of births in this world . 



We've earned the time to rest and take a break. Let's see the Navratri Special Food for today! 


Mm... It's the common and yummy food, Sundal! It's Verkadillai Sundal. Tasty, eh? Dahl is Sundal in Tamil. Protein grains is Sundal in Tamil. You just need to add Salt, Spice and Kadugu to it to get yummy Sundal. 


The Navratri Special Kolam is Mavillai kolam. 


Thanks a lot for reading through!

 And remember to tune in by tomorrow evening for ep4! 

Bye!!

Clouded

  Every night, I bring myself  To stare up at the sky -  But turn back home, with a frown on my face, Clouds blocking stars, showing wry.  Every morning, I peek out the window  To marvel at the sea above - But turn away, losing hope,  Cotton figures, masking what I love.  Every time I see the clouds,  I curse them, with all might,  They don't deserve to be up there,  Ruining the bright days and starry nights.  And one day, the clouds finally went away,  And I stargazed in much peace.  But suddenly, the sky felt a bit empty -  Although dotted by the stars, without fake fleece. In the mornings, the sun burnt the pavements -  And something inside me missed watching  The white shapes that merrily float past -  I didn't realise they had much meaning.  Though much couldn't be seen, they brought A wholesome feeling - that you probably can't see -  You only can, when one day,  The clouds decide t...

Thunder & Lightning

Lightning is that which intimidates,  But thunder is that which wishes  To follow lightning.  That is to say,  Thunder follows lightning's path,  But reaches a different destination.  But thunder can be far more intimidating -  You don't need to see it to believe it.  But aren't we told to not blindly believe  Whatever we hear?  For all we know, the "thunder" we heard,  Could just be the bark of a very large dog.  But lightning is something we see - But can we believe everything we see?  Perhaps the lightning is just  The lights, somewhere in the sky  Fluctuating.  But if we can't rely on thunder  Or lightning  What if they're both played together?  Though thunder always follows,  Never leads or walks beside,  Surely, we can believe  If we see it, and hear it.  But how great could the coincidences be?  No, to believe it, you must feel it -  And not just a mere ink...

What it really feels like, being indecisive.

  Let's get started.  Pick the next line:  You mean I need to choose?  You'll do just fine -  That is NOT true -  Whatever, pick the next -  I CANNOT DECIDE .  I mean why not?  That's my flawed side.  Oh, ambiguous, are we?  Sure, just pick a line for me. Is this turning into a poem?  It better be!  Why can't you decide on one answer?  What if one is better than the next?  Don't think too much about possible blunders -  That is exactly why I fret.  You can't not have an opinion -  But that's how it is.  You should really change -  It's not my fault I'm indecisive.  Think about it, I'm used to heat, but at the moment  I can use some cool But I can survive in the Sahara if I have to But I'll suffer in cold rooms, I might even solidify  But now, the heat is a bit hard to bear  But I'm afraid, the AC might get too extreme -  ALRIGHT, I understand, it's pretty hard to ...
