VOICE OF THE RISHIS: 36 COURTEY SHRI RAPARLA JANARDHANA RAO

 

KEERTI MRIDDHIN DADAATUME

SREE SOOKTAM

 

" Let us be glorious more and more " is the imploration to Goddess

Laxmi given in the holy text " stree sooktam " . This text contains

several verses to Goddess Laxmi, the cohort of Sree Mahavishnu.

People in want and poverty who do not attain any status in` society

who prod on their lives without any recognition, if chant the verses

in Sree sooktam obtain in return the riches of the world and also

status. This verse relates to " Keerti " or name and fame. The

devotee prays to the Goddess, to enhance his fame (Keerti vriddhim

dadaatume).

 

Man needs recognition in the society or in modern terms it is

called " social validation " for the mental health, promotion of self

confidence or self esteem. This requirement states that fame also

is needed. Hence the prayer to become more and more popular

ascending the ladder of success and social recognition is

significant.

 

Popularity (or keerti) is not an easy one to be obtained. It is the

net result of several good qualities like honesty, compassion,

selflessness, bravery, hard work and other good qualities. This

verse also reminds us to be wary of doing anything that makes man

lose his popularity.

 

By doing great desirable social acts only, man becomes famous. To

enhance his fame he should strive more and more to help others and

to help himself, by tightening the belt. He should also desist from

doing anti-social acts if he desires to increase his name day by day.
