Story Behind Kanakadhara Stotram:

Once, Sri Sankaracharya was going door to door asking for alms from people, also known as biksha.He soon stopped at a Brahmin lady’s cottage. However, the woman was very poor and was not even wearing proper clothes, so she wondered what she can give away as biksha. So with the entrance door of her house slightly ajar, she reached out swamiji with her hand stretched and dropped one amlaka fruit ( the only thing available in her house) into the hands of Sri Sankaracharya.

of the woman –

Sankaracharya pleaded her to grant riches to the Brahmin lady who had a big heart.

Sankaracharya while accepting her stand replied that however, in this life she gave him an Amla fruit with very great reverence inspite of not having any thing due to her extreme poverty and this act alone will justify to shower riches on her and purge her of all her previous sins.

Hearing upon this Goddess Lakshmi was greatly moved and extremely pleased with the advocacy of the argument of Sri Sankaracharya and showered instantly golden rain of Amla fruits on the Brahmin woman.
