Kolaru Pathigam

'KOL' stands for both planets and evil in Tamil. Something that rips, shreds, or breaks into pieces is called 'ARU' in Tamil.

It means that all of the planet's bad impacts have been removed. If someone worships Siva and Parvathi and reads or hears the Kolaru Pathigam, it can turn any bad thing into a good thing. The promise and the guarantee are in the last line of every verse.

Astrology holds that all humans are subject to the laws of the solar system, regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity, or language. Because our ancestors were well-aware of the myriad ways in which the alignment of the planets may impact our lives, they developed rituals like puja and mantras to make sure that the stars would only shine upon us in good fortune. 

The Kolaru Pathigam is a set of Tamil verses composed by Thirugnaana Sambandar.Thiru Gnana Sambandhar was a child prodigy who received Mother Parvathi's "Gnanapal" (divine milk).

Once the queen of Madurai requested a meeting with Thirugnana Sambandar. As he was preparing to depart from Thiruvadavur, Thirunavukarasar kindly advised him against starting his journey that day, explaining that the planetary alignments were not favourable for  Sambandar. Upon hearing this, Sambandar composed 10 verses in praise of Lord Shiva, emphasizing the divine protection that Shiva bestows upon his devoted followers, ensuring that the planets hold no power to cause harm. In addition, he included the final verse , which highlights the advantages of reciting these verses, resulting in a total of 11 verses. These verses are referred to as Kolaru Pathigam. Reciting these verses helps alleviate the negative impact of planetary positions.
