What is Kanakadhara Stotram’s background?
Adi Shankaracharya practiced the Hindu alms-seeking custom when he was a young boy. He asked a poor Brahmin woman for food one day. She looked around her house, but all she could find was one Amla—Nellikky. Adi Shankaracharya accepted the gift out of gratitude and recited the Kanakadhara Stotram in praise of Goddess Lakshmi. Consequently, a miraculous flow of gold coins fell from the roof. Particularly, this occasion emphasizes the Goddess’s compassion and the Kanakadhara Stotram’s power.
