Protection against Covid

Ammu's grandmother recited Thiruppavai verses each dawn, her weathered fingers tracing sacred syllables. When the pandemic arrived, the elderly woman continued, her voice steady despite fear clouding the household. The neighbors noticed something remarkable. Those who gathered, maintaining distance, to hear the Tamil chants seemed lighter somehow. Protected, even. Science couldn't explain it, but generations knew—this ancient practice wove invisible shields. Ammu realized her grandmother's brazen faith wasn't naive superstition. It was ancestral wisdom meeting modern uncertainty. The verses became their armor, their daily ritual a bridge connecting them to countless ancestors who'd weathered storms before. Some protections transcend the visible.
