KANAKADHARA YAJNAM

    Thri Kalady Appan- Sree Krishna, Kula Deva of Shanakara had always been prime refuge of Shankara. Once in child hood days of shankara his beloved Mother Aryadevi fainted off on mile long way to river Periyar (Poorna) for her routine bath. Helpless little Sankara with tears took refuge of hisKula Deva Sree Krishna, who blessed "River will flow where you mark with your feets", Instantly the innocent child marked before his Krishna, and mighty Periyar changed its course through the marking touching Lotus feets of Krishna and getting consecrated. The risk of mile long walk for Aryadevi for daily river bath was resolved with the blessings of Lord.

    The village "Sasalam" became Kalady (feets) and blessed 'Apad Bandhavan' became Thri Kalady Appan (Lord of Kalady) with the Holy ghat wherein Kalady was born to be known as his "Aarattu Kadavu". Puna-prathista of Sree Krishna to the present divine Shrine was done by Shankara on that Thiruvonam star day of the month of Thulam in AD 795. Another instance of Shankara taking refuge of Thri Kalady Appan was while going for 'bhiksha' as part of Upanayanam. He came across a house of a poor old lady who had nothing but a dried amalka to offer for bhiksha with a burning tears of helpless povert. Deeply touched and moved by condition, once again Shankara took refuge of his Krishna's wife Mahalakshmi with his poetic hymn "Kanaka Dhara Sthavam Sthothram". As the ninteenth sloka concluded the golden amalkas of fortune and prosperity showered into the door steps of that poor lady.

    The house got famous as Swarnathu Mana (Swarnam- Gold). The magnificient sloka Kanaka Dhara Sthavam very specially notcable for its poetic touch. Sanakara in each of the 19 slokas opted to refer Lakshmi devi, just like her shy look towards Vishnu, indirectly as wife of Vishnu,Mukunda, Krishna - His Thri Kalady Appan.

    This Kanakadhara Stothram is getting re-recited for all of us at the Sankara's Kuladevan Lakshmipathy Sreekrishna- the very Thri Kalady Appan- with the current successor of the blessed forntunes from family of Swarnathu Mana decorating 'Agrasthanam'.

    Succesors of Pazhoor Mana- the family of Sree Sankara's maternal uncles and Thalaettumpilly and Kappilly Mana's- the only 2 out of 10 'nambudiri' families who helped Sree Sankaracharya in due cremation of maother Aryadevi's body-also are participating.

    A chosen group of 32 Archakas representing 32 years of life of Sankara will be reciting "Kanakadhara Stothram" with due 'vrathashudhi' and Tantric Nishta. Devotees could get the Kanakadhara Stothram recited in the chosen name and nakshathra before merciful Thri Kalady Appan, Kula Devan of Sankara.A talisman of 'Kanakadhara Yanthra' will be delivered as prasadam making your fortunate participation. Apart from Archana one could take participation in 8 'Parikalasams' and one Brahma Kalasam each day upon to which all the archanas will be done. Daily all the 9 Kalasams will be submitted in 'Abhisheka' to Lakshmi Narayana' deity very specially designed for this purpose at the holy Arattu Kadavu of Thri Kalady Appan, the spot where at blessed Kalady was born, and course of Periyar was diverted. Golden Amalkas charged with Brahma Kalasa Kanakadhara chants are available.

    Abhishekam at Aarattukadavu and Lakshmi Narayana Arattu can also be pre-booked in the names of those fortunate devotees. This is very specially suggested for marital harmony and success.

    Your presence and darshan of the unique holy event and mere hearing of the hymns and darshan of merciful Thri Kalady Appan- Krishna is the greatest of fortune and Punyam. All are invited to have blessing of fortune of this Kanakadhara.
