108 Amman Slokam/ 108 Names of Devi


Goddess Amman also known as Mariamman, Mariaai both meaning "Mother Mari", simply Amman, Aatha or Mother is the South Indian Hindu goddess of rain. She is the main South Indian mother goddess, predominant well known to Hindu worldwide. Goddess Amman is closely associated with the Hindu goddesses Shakti, Parvati and Durga as well as with her North Indian counterpart Shitaladevi.

 In the Hindu concept, the Mother Goddess is Shakti, the consort of Shiva, the Supreme God. Shakti is the source of feminine energy, which when combines with the masculine energy completes the cyclic requirement of creativity. And she is also the female aspect of the creator. In these various forms, she symbolizes love, compassion, care and also determination and the capability to destroy evil. Rig-Veda, the earliest Aryan text called her Mahi-maata, Mother Earth. But the pre-Vedic and pre-Dravidian Mohanjo-daro culture identified mother earth, as pointed out by scholars from the evidences given by seals of the period.

Amman Stotram/Slokam is the sacred Hindu devotional slokha for the devotees of Goddess Amman, the Divine Mother Goddess Parvathi Devi in the form of her and the male gods' feminine power, Shakti. Amman Stotram/Slokam is organized according to Pancha Kruthyam (5 works). The Pancha Kruthyam are Srishti (Creation), Stithi (Protection), Samharam (Destruction), Thirodhanam (Hiding), and Anugraham (Blessing). Therefore, reciting this mantra gives one happiness, peace and blissful life. 

Amman Stotram/Slokam is a very powerful slokha chanting it and meditating it on the meaning of the 108/1008 names of Goddess Amman will ward off all evils and would lead to the fulfillment of all the wishes of the devotees. Chanting these mantra on Fridays is considered auspicious.

There is different version of 108 Amman Slokam like Shri Lalita Sahasranam, 1008 Amman Potri, Durga Slokam, etc.  Here, i posted Shri Lalita Sahasranam 108 names of Devi which can be chanted easily by anyone. For easy listening, i even posted a video from youtube. Enjoy chanting the mantra with peaceful mind!

Welcome to 2013

Congrats and welcome to 2013! We have passed all the assumption that the world going to end on 21st Dec 2012 and went with the flow. Me and J thought how if is truly true and no matter what happened, we planned to stick and die together wherever we are. During the period, lot of rumors when through Facebook. 



 







Two China guys build ark and survival pod during the period. People start to assume Mayans prediction might be wrong but if you observe clearly, the Mayans didn't invent the calendar, it was used by most cultures in pre-Columbian Central America  including the Maya from around 2000 BC to the 16th century. The Mayan civilization developed the calendar further and it's still in use in some Maya communities today. People blamed the Doomsday theory went wrong with Apocalypse Predictions. 


Whatever it is, I was working through the day and till end of the year in office. I told myself either if Doomsday arrived, I can proudly labelled myself dying in office with my laptop :P Yet, another part of my brain missed my parents and J. The only thing I wish that time to meet my loved one and Doomsday shouldn't happened until i turned 70! God grant my wishes! After the Doomsday rumors, my sister called me on 25th December and say do something good and positive on 26 December 2012 as there is new Planet called Planet X is going to change the solar system which lead good vibes to human kind. I was kind of awkard and start to look for a theory in You Tube and found below video interesting : 






No matter what, i manage to arrived in 2013 and thanking god to make us human kind alive! My plan for 2013? Below are my list :

1) Practicing Yoga frequently.
2) Spend qualities time with family and friends.
3) Involve myself in more proactive with people and whatever surrounding me.
4) Settle down in life (house, relationship, career) 
5) A good vacation.
6) Etc.

How about you? Had you plan your 2013? If no, please do plan it now and work for it. If yes, congrats and go with the flow! Wishing a good and healthy 2013 to everyone (I know i'm late for New Year wish after two months but it is good to remind everyone that we are in 2013) Welcome everyone! :)
