MUKKOTI & KAJJAYAM
A short Family Story, of group members interest.
MUKKOTI YEKADASI FALLS ON 30th December 2025. All of you are aware of its holistic nature and importance for the believers with faith in God.
Blessed are those who are born on MUKKOTI Day. OUR MOTHER is one of the blessed for having been born on that day. She was devotional throughout her life, right from her childhood. I have heard from her about her taking classes from a gentleman ( residing in the village named Jagatlamudi, about five miles from Tenali, and was a priest of the local Shiva Temple, and whose name I have forgotten). He used to frequent on alternate dates to coach our mother on the basics of devotion, importance of prayers and also initiated the practice of LALITHA SASRANAMA PRACTICE; besides teaching some devotional songs.
Our mother offering the prayers reciting OM a daily basis every day during the morning hours, while doing her activities of cooking and other household chores, without fail, and can recollect her tone and the devotion to prayers till today, still ringing in the ears. Some of us are fortunate to have not only heard the prayers, but also imbibed her prayer practices.
In particular, most of the women folks of the larger family had the inductive ability to pick up the devotional relics, including my wife. I should also say, all of us experienced the POWER and BLESSINGS of LALITHA AMMAVARU. Fortunately, our mother experienced the faith, both at her parent’s house (Kondamudis) and her in-laws house (Yellamrajus).
Our mother’s influence and her practices come into my mind, and was reminded of this information and hence the note of common interest to the group.
It is our mother’s practice to prepare specially, a dry fruit mixture with dry fruits to offer on MUKKOTI day, as Prasadam, and remember everyone eagerly awaiting the distribution, from her hands, making the occasion very special. I am at it, preparing the dry fruits mixture taking the help of my wife.
