Golu - Season 3 - Ep. 5

 Ep. 5 - Shri Stuti 


Hello everyone! Welcome back!


Now, in this post, probably things will get over as soon as it starts.


I don't have much to explain - today, we will look into Shri Stuti - a Sloka written by Swami Desikan, when he encountered a situation similiar to the Kanakadhara stotram.

A poor bhramachari boy was seeking money for his marriage and people guided him to Swami Desikan knowing very well he himself did not have money and he will be ashamed when somebody asks him for money. So this boy approached Swami Desikan unknowingly and asked for help.

Swami Desikan took him to Perundevi thayar sannidhi in Kanchipuram and recited the Shri Stuti and Mahalakshmi thayar poured her Grace in the form of gold coins and the boy was immensely awestruck and fell at Swami Desikan's feet.

I am adding a few lines from the sloka below. 



मानातीतप्रथितविभवां मङ्गलं मङ्गलानां

वक्षःपीठीं मधुविजयिनॊ भूषयन्तीं स्वकान्त्या ।

प्रत्यक्षानुश्रविकमहिमप्रार्थनीनां प्रजानां

श्रॆयॊमूर्तिं श्रियमशरणः त्वां शरण्यां प्रपद्यॆ ॥ १ ॥

आविर्भावः कलशजलधावध्वरॆ वापि यस्याः

स्थानं यस्याः सरसिजवनं विष्णुवक्षस्थलं वा ।

भूमा यस्या भुवनमखिलं दॆवि दिव्यं पदं वा

स्तॊकप्रज्ञैरनवधिगुणा स्तूयसॆ सा कथं त्वम् ॥ २ ॥

See? I told you it'll get over as soon as it starts!

Oho! But the problem is, it hasn't ended just yet. We have to look into the Kolam!




I made it. It's Goddess Lakshmi. 

Okay everyone! It's over! Today's episode was probably short. It's seems as though I'm in a big hurry, but no, I'm not in a hurry. Just, well.... Nothing!


Okay so bye! See you tomorrow!!!

    Mahalakshmi in the kolam form is very good. Pl give the story behind the Sristuthi by Vethantha Desikar. Also pl complete the slokam . Good attempt that you choose the two main slokam on Lakshmi 1. Kanakadhara slokam and 2. Sristhuthi

Long Lost Sleep

  After a long, exhausting day, the only thing all of us look forward to is SLEEP. So, as soon as you finish off the last crumbs on your dinner plate, you fling yourself onto your bed, rest yourself in a comfortable position, get your pillow nice and fluffed up, and throw the blankets on yourself. But then... You just realised that you still have your big, wobbly earrings on. So you throw back the blankets and remove your earrings and leave them in their box. And then you're back in your bed, and just as your eyelids are about to close... You realise that you haven't brushed your teeth. So, yet again, your throw back the blankets and get off the bed, letting the annoying, creaky sound fill your head. And then you throw open the door to your bathroom, get your brush ready and squeeze toothpaste onto it, but... The tube seemed to have a hole on the back, which you sadly hadn't noticed. And you get toothpaste all over your hands. Fuming, you wash your hands and get things done...

So Close, Yet So Far

  What you knew you had right beside you What you never knew might leave you What you had neglected for days What you wished was still there, within your gaze. That miniscule amount of hope  That you feel lingering close by You could open out your arms, embrace it, But suddenly it's high in the sky. Once within your grasp, But now away from you, Don't waste a moment on a wee gasp, Time won't stop, and the moving hope too. Each moment is to be caught, Each memory to be cherished, Hold them carefully in your arms, Before they shall vanish. The consistent inkling when you feel, Something close, yet so far, Is only because you know yourself, That it is within your grasp, but not within your confidence. If you're positive enough that you can hold it, The 'it' that is mysterious and something only you know, You can hold the precious 'it', Clutch it tight, don't let it go. You must be close to the end of the day, With its cliffs and slopes and Rocky slides,...

Stars

  Shining in the vast night sky, I see them from afar. Dominated by the brighter moon, There glimmer the stars. Mostly hidden by the cruel shadows, Or by the thick, misty clouds. But they do not give up, they still glimmer on, They make their voice be heard loud. Even though they're hardly seen, Even though they're hardly thought of, They know that someday they will be, Thought of, honoured and loved. So take an inspiration from stars, Show your true essence, Continue to shimmer, ignore the darkness, Because one day it'll fear your presence.
