Sri Meenakshi Kalyanam

      Hey guys. This is the Mahaperiyava Satsangam that my mom did on September 7, 2019. In this Satsangam, she talked about Sri Meenakshi Kalyanam. She started off by talking about the Mahimai of Meenakshi and greatness of Madurai. She talked mostly about how Meenakshi appeared to foreigners. Thus, we know if we cultivate the habit of sincere Bhakthi towards Meenakshi, Meenakshi will certainly give us grace. She quoted many incidents in history about how people have protected the deities in the Madurai Meenakshi Temple for us in this period from the Muslim invasions. The Chokanathar Perumal is not any man-made Lingam. It is an existing Lingam from Yugam to Yugam (period to period). Afterwards, she talked about Meenakshi Kalyanam. She also informed the philosophy behind the Meenakshi Kalyanam story where Meenakshi appeared with 3 breasts where the first breast represents Apara Gnanam, the second breast represents Para Gnanam, and the third breast represents our own ego. When we appear before God to get Gnanam, the ego should disappear. Then only we will get Gnanam and we will attain Moksham. I found this topic very interesting because this Satsangam happened right after Srinivasa Kalyanam. Also, coincidentally, the day we did the Satsangam was when the Meenakshi Kalyanam happened at Madurai. I have never heard about this story before, but after hearing this story, it was so compelling. I love how there were many small stories embedded inside the big topic of Sri Meenakshi Kalyanam and all these stories played a pivotal role in the formation of Meenakshi, the Mahimai of Madurai Meenakshi temple, and the greatness of Sri Meenakshi Kalyanam itself. Here is the video below for Sri Meenakshi Kalyanam. Enjoy!
