Devi posting something religious? Really? 
🤔
🤔
Those who know me very well would be surprised by this post; but read on..You will surely smile in the end 
I read online that today happened to be an auspicious day for Goddess Katyayani Devi, on the Sixth Day of Navarathri.
This reminded me of a little snippet my Amma shared with me later in her life. We used to live in a small town called Valliyoor. There was a joint family next door with almost 4 generations under the same roof.
Being a very young one, I used to frequent their house every day. There was a great grandma who was teaching the grand daughter at a marriageable age, the above slokam. I had apparently learnt the slokam by-heart, through their rendition, but chose to ask the paati why that Akka was the only one saying the slokam. Paati apparently explained saying that if that slokam was chanted religiously and with sincerity, the girl chanting would get married to a fine young man soon. I used to say the slokam religiously with that Akka, not understanding the Paati fully and knowing the implications that were in store for me. Later, when i got married, it was the running joke in the maternal family that i chanted way too religiously, so much so that i got married in late teens.
Lesson Learnt: If you want to get married, chant this slokam, but do not start when very young. You would end up getting married in your teens
