Category: Kolaru Pathigam

Kolaru Pathigam is the eleven-verse Tamil Shaiva hymn composed by Thirugnana Sambandar (one of the four Saiva Samayacharyas) for warding off planetary afflictions — a unique parihara hymn that addresses all nine grahas (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu) in a single devotional composition. Vamanan Sesshadri’s guides here present the Kolaru Pathigam with Tamil text, transliteration, meaning and the traditional chanting protocol — daily for comprehensive planetary balance, or intensively during Sade Sati or other major dosha periods. Each verse addresses a specific graha and invokes Shiva’s protective grace. Global Tamil Hindu seekers use Kolaru Pathigam as a portable Navagraha parihara — more practical than individual planet worship, more comprehensive than single-deity mantras. Vamanan Sesshadri ensures lineage-accurate Tamil pronunciation guidance. Each post balances scriptural accuracy with plain-language clarity for modern seekers worldwide.
