Kandha Puranam
Kandha Puranam brings out the glory of Lord Muruga sung by poet-saint Kachchiyappa Sivachariyar. Chinmaya International Foundation (CIF) brings you a webinar on Kandha Puranam facilitated by Shri Arunachalam Viswanathan.
Of the 18 puranas, Kandha Puranam is the longest purana, containing the essence of the Vedas in the form of 1 lakh granthas. A small portion of this is translated into Tamil language by Kachchiyappa Sivachariyar, a poet-saint who lived in the 11th century. The collection of 10,345 songs is divided into 6 cantos.
The remaining cantos are Asura-kandam, Mahendra-kadnam, Yuddha-kandam, Deva-kandam and Daksha-kandam.
Those who do parayanam (chanting) and/or listen to the Kandha Puranam are assured greatness here and hereafter. Effortless positive personality transformation is the result of studying Kandha Puranam.
In this webinar, one can study 200 selected songs from Canto 1 with word to word meaning. The other songs will be covered in the form of a story.
