## What is Padhiga Ratnam?

Padhiga Ratnam

Kolaruppadhigam and Thiruneetruppadhigam describe the essence of Shaiva Siddhanta (philosophy) and have enlightened many devotees over the years.  Thirugnyanasambandar, one of the Nayanmars, wrote these padhigams over thirteen hundred years ago.  Here, we present the verses and the meaning of these padhigams.

We believe that the power of reciting any slokam is enhanced when the meaning of the verses is understood in the correct context.  Here, we bring you the meaning of the verses, with additional details when required, to start one’s journey towards the goal of understanding the padhigam.  Audio of the meaning is provided in English and Tamil, so that we understand its meaning in the language that we are most comfortable with.  The slokam script is also provided in Tamil and transliterated English.

Our slokam audio is designed to help the User in correct diction and pronunciation.  The tune, with no instruments, makes the slokam recitation easier.

Why App Format?
We want to bring slokams and their meaning to the interested User in a format that is convenient, is always available, is private and personalized.  Given the hectic pace of our schedule-driven life, we feel that the desire to understand and learn the slokams should not be hampered by the lack of availability of the resources in the right format, at any time and any place, when the User needs it the most.  The current App technology and its extensions best allows us to meet these goals.
