KANAKA DHAARAA STOTRAM by Sri Aadisankaracharya

[Guest guest]

SRI MAATRE NAMAHA

 

Srimat Paramahamsa Parivranjakaacharya Jagadguru Sri

Sanakraraacharya wrote several stotras for upliftment of common

people. By rendaring thease stotras the common people shall get the

blessings of the ALMIGHTY along with fulfilment of their desires. Sri

KANAKA DHARA STOTRAM is one which is capable to smash the poverty of

the deciples of Goddess Mahalakshmi who renders this stotra.

 

Once Sri Aadisankara in his child hood went to 'MAADHOOKARI'

(going to other houses to get 'Bhiksha' according to the model custums

of brahmins). When the vatu (brhmachari) stands in present of one

house the housewife failed to give Bhiksha to him due to their

dreadful poverty. But she dropped one dried 'Aamalaka' fruit in the

bag of this vatu. By this incident Sri Aadisankara felt very much and

prayed Goddess MAHALAKSHMI with this KANAKADHARA STOTRA to bless this

poor family with unlimited wealth. Goddess MAHALAKSHMI pleased with

this stotra and showerd golden amalakis in that house as such that

family came out of poverty.

 

I am hereby presenting some slokas from that stotra along with

the Telugu poetic transalation by a sweet poet named as Josyam

Janardana Sastry. He was a 'Vidwatkavi' and a 'Mantra drasta' apart

from 'Devi Upasana' He was also wrote several books named

as 'Sringara lahari, Sowrabha vyakhya, Santalahari, Bhava saparya and

Devi Saptasati Puja vidhanamu' etc.
