Kandha Puranam - Asura Khandam

Of the 18 puranas, Kandha Puranam is the longest, containing the essence of the Vedas in the form of one 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 second canto Asura Khanda explores 1929 verses, organised into 43 sections, which expounds the Wisdom of Kashyapa rishi, Masters of Mysticism – Maya & Sukracharya, The Rise of Surapadman, Legendary Feats of Sage Agathiyar, Trials of the Devas, Valour of Maha Shastha, Aja-mukhi’s Complaints and much more. 

In this webinar we will study over 200 selected verses with detailed word-by-word meanings, along with story summaries for the remaining verses.

It is believed that those who do parayanam (chanting) and/or listen to the Kandha Purana are assured greatness here and hereafter. Effortless positive personality transformation is the result of studying Kandha Puranam. Engaging in parayanam is known to bring about desired results and blessings for all those devoted to Lord Muruga. 

This webinar will also be a guide for simplified parayanam (recitation) of Kandha Puranam, allowing Lord Muruga’s devotees to experience this time-honoured method of worship with ease.
