    Varloo & kolam

    Dear Varloo,

    It was nice to read your post on kolams. Can you post some nice kolam designs for us? Especially if you have rare ones. For example: I heard that if one is travelling, on the day of starting, a special kolam is made. SImilarly- if you have kolams for health etc , can you share them round? Anything would be great.

    affly
    Vidya

    Hai,
    I can draw the kolams but I hve to learn to send them. I am just about to learn that from our laxmi. I shall find out from friends how to upload them and send some kolams.
    Vidya,
    I have no idea about the ones you have mentioned. But my mother has a special kolam which is equalent to the manai we ue to place the deity or the photo for pooja. I shall post it soon. I shall enquire about the special kolams also.
    Thanks to all of you, I am happy that you liked the info.
    With warm wishes,
    varloo

    There are 100 shlokas of Abhirami Andhathi. I do not know, which one you are asking for.
    Love,

    Dear Chitra,

    Another good piece of observation. I agreed with it every Saturday we use to go to satsang & i feel the difference, chatting prayers etc i feel soothing & like there is a spiritual vibration, which we cannot see, but feel, I feel more relaxed & feel totally different after satsang.

    That’s why it says group prayer/satsang create such a environment that some time u feel God is close to us

    Dear Cheer,
    Thankyou very much for the feedback.
    Now, sound culture is used even in treating disease, as music therapy.
    We play devotional casettes at home more for protection as well as to invite positive energy.
    Satsangs do energise us very much.
    Love,
    Chithra.
