Kukke Subramanya Swami

Hi viewer, welcome to my blogsite.

Pancharathnam means five gems or five precious slogams. This is also known as Kumara Pancharathna stotram, dedicated to Lord Subramanya at Kukke in Karnataka. 

Sri Subrahmanya Pancharatnam has been translated in english by Shri P. R. Ramachander. Sri Subrahmanya Pancharathnam is a five-verse prayer chanted everyday by devotees. The sixth verse of Sri Subrahmanya Pancharathnam explains the benefits of chanting this prayer.
