Chennai: Renowned folk singers Senthil Ganesh and Rajalakshmi have candidly spoken about their deeply personal spiritual journey and the significance of Kuladeivam (family deity) worship, exclusively for the Aanmeegaglitz YouTube channel. They emotionally shared how the blessings of their Kuladeivam supported them every step of the way in their lives.
Senthil Ganesh and Rajalakshmi’s Kuladeivam is Urumanatha Swamy (a deity with five entrances) and Mangal Nayaki Amman, located in Perungalur, Pudukkottai district, on the Thanjavur road. “We never begin any auspicious work without first performing a puja at our Kuladeivam temple,” they assert. Senthil Ganesh mentioned that he even keeps a photograph of his Kuladeivam in his wallet and under his pillow at home. Rajalakshmi emotionally shared, “This is the deity our ancestors have worshipped for generations. We 100% believe that they are always present in our actions.”
For them, spirituality isn’t just about rushing to the temple during tough times. “When difficulties arise, we light a lamp at home and cry. But when good things happen, we go directly to the temple to express our gratitude. When we stand before God and say, ‘You have fulfilled such a big dream for us, please always be with us,’ we feel immensely positive,” says Rajalakshmi. Senthil Ganesh adds, “We view God as a parent. We have felt His care for us a hundred times.”
They recounted several instances where, even when unable to visit a temple during travels due to negative feelings or fear, they would unexpectedly come across a Kuladeivam temple or another shrine in the town they were performing in. They would then seize the opportunity to perform a puja before leaving. “In such moments, it feels as if our Kuladeivam is blessing us in this way,” Senthil Ganesh remarked.
Senthil Ganesh and Rajalakshmi, who describe spirituality as deeply ingrained in them, emphasize that Kuladeivam worship is like having a family member with you, and it brings forth the blessings of your ancestors. “For everyone who has devotion to God, please make sure to find and worship your Kuladeivam. Good things will surely happen in your life,” they earnestly requested.
