My friend and spiritual advisor Bhavani Anand wrote a short note on the significance of 'Navagrahas' (Nine Planet) which inspired me to make this chanting video:
Since time immemorial, Indians have been fervently praying to the Navagrahas (Nine Planet). Only a few decades ago, the Western world has been exploring the #Moon and the #Mars planet. Only after 1900, the distance between the earth and the moon could be estimated by Western scientists. But Indian have explored the planets 5000 years ago through worship of the Navagrahas (Nine Planet).
This powerful hymn sung by Thiru Gnana Sambandhar Swamigal pleads for Lord Shiva's protection against the ill effects of planets. In #Tamil, KOL means planets as well as evil. ARU in Tamil means that which cuts, shreds, blows into smithereens. What it actually means is that destruction of the evil effects of planets.
The significance is that those who chant it or those who listen to it will find that all the evils eventually turn to good. This is what is reiterated again and again in the verses.
Sit back and have the blessings of #KolaruPathigam
