Bhajanam
is an important vazhipaadu being done
by the devotees for certain special purposes.
Bhajanam here, is quite different from
chanting hymns (Namajapam). It is a special
mode of bhajanam, which should be conducted
only with stay in the Devasthanam rooms.
|
|
Bhajanam can be conducted by any devotee,
no matter he or she is in a pleasant or
sad circumstances. It is a peculiar way
of attempt to appease the Goddess by undergoing
certain sacrifices. it can be done for
getting rid of mental or physical illness
or afflictions, tension, stress and strains,
lack of concentration, unruly behaviour,
poor education, job or to get married
or have no children etc.
But the bhajanam should be conducted or
will definitely be fruitful only if the
devotees observes following rules and
regulations. Experiences of innumerable
devotees prove that it is an effective
remedy.
