Śrī Kanakadhārā stotram is one of the earliest compositions of the preeminent 8th century philosopher saint Śrī Ādi Śaṅkarācarya addressed to Goddess Lakṣmī, the goddess of wealth, prosperity and fortune.

Sri Shankaracharya invoking the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi through Kanakadhara stotram

This stotra was composed by the great saint at a tender age. According to tradition, during the early boyhood of the great seer, as with tradition and customs, it was customary for young Brahmacārī boys to begging for alms. During one such rounds, the seer reached a house of a poor Brahmin lady. When he called out for alms, the Brahmin ladys heart melted in sorrow, since she had nothing but a gooseberry (Āmalaka) to offer. The Brahmin lady offered the only gooseberry she had at home to the young celibate. Seeing the devotion and earnestness and taking pity of the poor lady, the great seer composed this stotra extempore, extolling Goddess Lakṣmī and addressed as a prayer to bestow her bountiful blessings.

It is said that upon the composition of this stotra, Goddess Lakṣmī appeared and showered her grace upon the poor Brahmin lady. To this day, the descendants of the Brahmin lady live at the very place which was graced by Śrī Śaṅkara and Goddess Lakṣmī; at Kalady. The family is known by the name of Swarnattu Mana, true to its name, meaning house of gold.

  • this stotra is not uploaded by Hindu...this music insulting our sanathana dharama.....don't listen and uploader please listen M.SSubhalekshmi's kanakadhara stotram..

  • @sdurgadas, Its your perspective and I respect it. Do not generalize it by saying its bad. I like both this one and one by great M S Subbalakshmi. I see no disrespect to Sanatana Dharma. Its not so fragile as you think.

  • I watch every day almost every video you have made and I like them all, so as this one. Everything is simply beautiful, music, artists and your creations. My compliments.

  • I like this video like any thing. I like to see visual prayers than chanting with no concentration. I like to buy if this video is available. Watching early morning these kind of videos makes me feel so peaceful. Thank you

  • @sdurgadas IT is reaaly sad to read ur comments....so orthodox in view...please be open-minded...God bless u!!!

  • Music and Prayers are always good. There is not just one way to pray god. we have to appeal to variety of listeners. Listen to both and each one of us are and capable of making up our own mind. Variety is spice of life. Thalme is the principle tatwa of Hindutwa.

  • @314159265352 Sanathana dharma means the music we using in Stotram. The Mathra everything....your remix is a attack to our sanathana stotram....Users DON'T LISTEN THIS STOTRAM ..IT WILL DISTURB YOUR MIND BY ITS MUSIC...
