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

Behind The Mask

  Behind the clouds  Is the hidden sky, so far, Behind the plasters, A nasty scar, Behind the curtains,  Are bright windows  But behind a mask - It is not for show. Not until you tumble into the trap,  Stay trapped there, in disguised gloom  Without realising it - And then go deeper and deeper  To discover what really looms. Then realisation strikes - How they behaved, how they feigned The hidden meaning behind every wave  You've found it. And the rage, You try to stifle it with much courage, But instead, burn down the page, And whoops - that leads you to your cage. But in the end, the mask is gone - To reveal an atrocity, so from it begone Don't explain, on its own will it dawn - Upon others, just the way it did on you - Ignore their every scorn. Just wait for their mask to be openly torn.

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...

Eclipsed

  Moon:  I shine every night  Though, once a month, I take a break  But I'm seen regularly,  And it's not a big deal.  Few stop by  To marvel at me.  But what about the others -  Can they even see? And tonight is the night  A shadow shall be cast upon me  I hope no one notices -  My brief moments without glory.  Oh, but who am I kidding?  Of course, when I'm humiliated  In the vast night sky  Just me, and an eery shadow upon me  That  That is when the humans  Choose to gaze at me.  And then, to say I am weak And I'm always overruled by  The sun, and shadows, and clouds?  That is not fair.  But the truth that the moon does not know  Is that our little downfalls  Are what define us.  They're the little things that make us  Better - Perfection isn't a thing; but realism is.  Someone who is perfect cannot be likeable - But someone with flaws has more pe...
