hi blogger,
wonderful post.
can you tell me whether there is any poem addressing to adhi varaha perumal - thiruvidandhai,chennai.
because it is being said that manavala munivagal has praised this temple with his poem.
Anyways, happy to see this post. good work :)
nice post, I need some info regarding mahalakshmi stotram can you please provide it along with it's meaning...
My life has changed after I daily praying to goddess Lakshmi by chanting Lakshmi Stotram and also drawing the beautiful sankranti muggulu with chukkalu which are also called sankranthi muggulu designs in Telugu in front of our homes to welcome Mata Lakshmi devi.
Unlike Swami Desikan, Mamunigal's Granthams haven't been popularized. We know only Upadesa Ratnamalai and Yathiraja Vissathi. Dushyanth Sridhar Swami once mentioned about the greatness of Mamunigal's Mahalakshmi Stotram. Only then I came to know.
