#314 Gurupaduka stotram - its meaning and blessing
Guru Paduka Stotram is a powerful set of well-known devotional verses that glorify the sacred “Padukas (Sandals) of the Guru. Why are the padukas or sandals sacred? Because of association with the feet of the guru. In the Vedic culture, the guru as well as his/her feet are worshipped. The feet represent the path taken by the teacher, the path prescribed by the Vedas of a life of Dharma and Moksha. The verses in this stotram describe the glory of the Guru-padukas, the qualities of the guru and how a seeker’s life transforms with a Guru’s grace. We look into the meaning and revel in the Guru's grace.The transcript - https://arshavidyananda.in/314-gurupaduka-stotram-its-meaning-and-blessing/Our latest monthly newsletter - https://mailchi.mp/5a1d465a3f15/aarsha-vidya-bharati-jul2025Our monthly newsletter will bring you more happiness, more wisdom and more freedom.

#312 Desire - to fulfill or give up?
When our desires are fulfilled we find ourselves to be happy and when they are not fulfilled, we are unhappy and restless.
The Vedas recognise 'Kama' as a Purushartha, a valid pursuit with different prayers to help us fulfill them.
Then, when does desire become a problem? What can we do about it? Should we fulfill the desire or should we give it up? We listen to insights from the Bhagavad Gita.

#310 Annapurna Stotram (by Adi Shankaracharya) - its meaning and blessing
Devi Annapurna is the goddess of food and nourishment. She is called the mother of the three worlds and gives
to everyone what only a mother gives, naturally and freely – food. She bears no weapons in her hands, but rather
carries a cooking pot and a spoon. As giver of food she is the giver of life.
Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya composed the Annapurna Stotram of 12 verses which help us revere and revel in what we are blessed with.
