Shadakshara Kouthuvam - Sridevi Nrithyalaya - Bharathanatyam Dance

Shadakshara Kouthuvam
A vibrant composition of Madurai Sri R Muralidaran...

Shadakshara Kauthvam is a vibrant piece hailing the warrior God, Muruga. His Shadakshara (six-lettered) Nāma - Sa ra va na bha va, bestows wealth, fame, knowledge, strength and distances the influence of evil forces from those who surrender to Him.

Behold the lance of Muruga, that comes swirling around, removing all our sins! He is the handsome Lord; the son of Shiva; the bestower of Grace and the six-faced one who resides in His six abodes.

Oh Muruga, who was born from the six lotuses! Oh Kumara, who playfully rides the peacock! Holding the rooster flag, He blesses the devotees who devoutly recite the scriptures.

Thou art the one who was born out of the spark of fire from Shiva's third eye! Thou art the one who made Valli swoon in love! Thou art the one who tactfully slayed Surapadman! Thou art the one who washes away the sins of the devotees!
