कालिदासविरचितं श्यामलादण्डकम् - पारायणाभ्यासः

Learn to Chant Shyamala-Dandakam

Shyamala-Dandakam is a work written in praise of the goddess Rajashyamala, a form of goddess Lalita-Tripurasundari, commonly attributed to Mahakavi Kalidasa. This dandakam is particularly renowned for its dandaka metre, characterised by a long string of syllables without the usual kind of pauses found in classical Sanskrit poetry. The hymn is marked by its intricate wordplay, poetic elegance, and vivid descriptions, showcasing the divine attributes of Shyamala in exquisite detail. In the Shrividya Upasana tradition, Rajashyamala occupies a significant role as the Sachiveshaani, or the minister of Lalita. As a deity of profound grace and beauty, Rajashyamala is portrayed as embodying an ideal blend of intellectual brilliance and aesthetic charm, making her a central figure for devotees seeking proficiency in arts and scholarship. In this course, Smt. Ramya Mangala Lakshmi will assist learners in chanting the Shyamala-Dandakam with right pronunciation and devotion.
