Golu - Season 3 - Ep. 4

 Ep. 4 - Kanakadhara Story


Hello everyone! Welcome back to the 3rd Season of the Golu Series! 


Today, Goddess Lakshmi's days will be starting, and as a special post, I will post the story of Kanakadhara Stotram.




So, we all know Adi Shankara don't we? So once upon a time, when He was a young Boy, He was doing biksha vandanam down the streets (sanyasis had to do that). He stopped by an poor woman's hut. She had nothing but a small amla.  She knew she had to give at least something, so she gave away the amla. 


Adi Shankara noticed this and recited a sloka called the Kanakadhara Stotram (He was the one who composed it). As He recited, Maha Lakshmi was moved by Adi Shankara's grace and Bhakthi towards God. Lakshmi, as a result blessed the poor lady with a downpour of gold (She made her rich). So, Lakshmi will shower those who recite the Kanakadhara Stotram with Her blessings.


So that's all!

And that's it for this episode!

Tune in tomorrow for more Golu Episodes!


Bye!


P.S - Hope you saw the answers of the last episode's quiz!..

    Aptly you have choosen the story behind the Kanaka Dhara slokam today being Mahalakshmi day in Navarathri. The composer Shri Adi Shankaracharya dedicated Bhakthi and concern about the poor is good quality of a human which every one should have. You have given a good message Shriyandhaa. God bless you.

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...

true friend

  The rain fell from the sky,  Drenching all of us together.  I held the umbrella, waiting for them to join, They took it, and went away.  One or two of them turned to thank me,  But none of them stayed and asked me to join. I stood rooted to the spot, staring at the puddles,  Staring at my reflection, wavered by ripples. Raindrops or tears? I didn't know,  But I knew they'd left me all alone.  The sun, blazing in the sky,  I sit under a tree, hiding in the shade,  And they all come to me,  Sit beside me, sweet talk me,  Slowly push me away.  Until they're all crowded together,  Laughing merrily as I stare;  Left under the burning sun, back on fire,  Sweat or tears? I didn't know,  But I knew I didn't want to be right there.  The sky was beautiful, the sunset painting a scenery,  As I watched from the balcony, eyes wide with surprise.  And they all came to me, fooled me with charm, As yet...

Happy New Year!

Hello, 2026,  What do you have for us?  We're all optimistic -  And we're almost experienced. I'm ready for the long list of resolutions  That will either last a week or fade away. I've met your predecessors -  Big titles, a promising index  But the font becomes smaller and less denser  As the pages turn.  And I hope that this time,  The chaos is funny  The change is useful  The evolution is forwards. You don't need to be perfect -  We just need enough light to find Our lost things Ourselves And our people.  Without panic.  But anyways, I'll try again -  A new journal, new diary,  New planner, a neater handwriting -  It wouldn't hurt to try, even if I might fail. But make sure to knock first  Before barging in - I prefer a slow fade in  Rather than a flash.  And however it goes,  Please give us a good story,  Lots of happy memories,  And the best of friends.  Dear 2026...
