Kodi Swamigal's divine instructions for this year Guru poojai
Every act carried out by our trust is directed by the divine presence of Kodi Swamigal. Kodi Swamigal himself gives the What, When, Where, and How of every function. Every year, Guru Poojai's key components are said well in advance, and we strive to implement them.
Colour-coded dress
For the 27th year of Guru Poojai, Kodi Swamigal instructed us to wear the colour Red. Red as the fire element beautifully represents the intensity and passion of devotion. Fire has always been such a strong symbol in spirituality—invoking transformation, purification, and energy. Walking this "path of fire" reflects the courage and commitment needed to pursue spiritual growth. With his guidance, the path is always of ease.
Ghomata's blessings for bearing a child.
Every woman's dream is to become a mother, Kodi Swamigal knew how to make his devotees who long for it experience that divine feeling. He instructed those who wanted to enjoy motherhood and be blessed with a child to offer their prayers to Kodi Lakshmi - The Divine mother at the Goshala.
