When I checked, I found that after Feb I have not posted any messages in the blog - hence today I  am sharing my thoughts on Sivanandalahari Sloka with you all:



                                                                  SLOKA 27


                                Karasthe hemadrow GIRISHA nikitasthe Dhanapathow
                                Gruhahasthe swarbhujha mara surabhi chintha mani gane|
                                Shirasthe Sheethamshow chararana yugalasthe akhilashube
                                Khamartham dhasyeham bhavathu bhadhartham mama mana:||



Normally it is customary to offer something of value to our favorite deity, from that angle, I hear people offering diamonds, gold, cash, valuables etc at Tirupathi Hundi.

So when I think of offering such valuables to you, the uselessness of such an exercise comes to my mind.
Basically, your hand is golden mountain the Hemadri. Your close friend is Kubera - the Lord of Wealth. In your abode resides Kama Dhenu, the Cow which gives all the boons which the bhaktas crave for. Also Chintamani is in your possession, which is famous for giving intellectual boons.

In addition to the above, you are having the cool-rayed moon in your head, and your feet can grant any boon to your devotees.

When such is being the case, what is the thing that I can offer to thee my Lord.

I am not going to despair. I have my mind, which I shall offer all my waking moments to thee.
