Guest guest Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Saturn is moving to Simha Rasi on August 5; the event is known as Sani Peyarchi. On this occasion, we may recall Swami Desikan's slokam in hia Sri Ranganatha Paduka Sahasram:(slokam 749) kanakarucirA kAvyAkhyAtA shanaIscharaNOchitA shritagurubudhA bhAsvadhrUpA dvijAdhipasevitA vihitaviBhavA nithyam viShNh padE maNipAduke! tvamasi mahatI vishveShAm nah shuhhA grahamaNdalI Meaning by Sriman Sadagopan: Oh Manipaaduka! You have a gold-lustre of red hue. You have a vital place in Ramayana etc. You move about only slowly. Gurus and learned ones cling to you. You shine like the sun. Eminent Brahmins worship you. You stay put to the Lord's Feet permanently. (The planets, namely, the red Angaraka, Sukra alias Kavya, Sani who is slow moving, Guru and Budha, Soorya and Chandra-these encircle in their paths in the celestial sphere. They will prove auspicious in specific periods, being otherwise at other times.) But you are always auspicious as a peculiar planetary combination, unusual this way, conferring benefits on us permanently. Devotees may have darshan of the Golden Paadukais of the Lord and the Sanskrit slokam at: http://kirtimukha.com/padukaSlokams.htm Dasan krishnaswamy m k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
