The Song about the Golden Gooseberries !



When Bhagavan Sankara was seeking food, a poor woman came out of the house and gave him one gooseberry in brine. Actually there was no food in the house, as she was in dire straits. Sankara just touched the pot and lo and behold ! it was raining golden gooseberries from Heaven !

He composed verses in praise of the Goddess of Wealth, Laxmi and these verses came to be known as Kakakadhara Stotra.

It is generally belived that chanting these verses will save man from the vicious clutch of poverty !

There was Bhagavan Sankara with his Magic Wand
From Heaven bringing forth gooseberries golden!
The poor woman fell at His feet
He who had achieved union with the Divine !

The Symbolism of the Triad




There is a great allegorical depiction of the Vedantic Triad in Indian Philosophy.


A cow with three calves - the cow represents the Universal Mind ( Maya ), the three calves are


The Relative Universe ( Jagat )
The Relative Ego ( Jiva )
The Relative Supreme ( Para )

The Triad is a projection of the Universal Mind, whose base is Absolute Being !


O Thou with and without Thy Maya
Art known as Witness Consciousness
Thy projections Three
Are Thee in Reality !
All the forces of Nature
Dissolved in Thee at Involution
Only Thou existed then
As Supreme Consciousness Bliss !


Maya sannihito pravishta vapusha
Saksheethi geetho bhavan
Bhedestham pratibimbitho vivisivan
Jeevepi naiva para
Kalatma pratibodhita cha vigata
sanchothita cha swayam
Maya sa khalu bhuddi tatvamasruja
Dwyosau mahan uchyathe
