oṃ eka-dantāya vidmahe vakra-tuṇḍāya dhīmahi । tanno dantiḥ pracodayāt ॥

OM, to that one-tusked one we know; to the One with a curved trunk may we direct our minds (meditate). May that tusked one inspire (impel) us.

śuklāmbara-dharaṃ viṣṇuṃ śaśi-varṇaṃ catur-bhujam ।

prasanna-vadanaṃ dhyāyet sarva-vighnopaśāntaye ॥

Wearing white clothes, pervading everywhere, appearing like moon, with four hands, pleasing face, we meditate for the cessation of all obstacles.

yasya dvirata-vaktrādyāḥ pāriṣadyāḥ paraśśatam ।

vighnaṃ nighnanti satataṃ viṣvaksenaṃ tam-āśraye ॥

The elephant (two-toothed) faced, whose retinue constantly destroy innumerable (more than hundred) obstacles constantly, upon Him whose hosts or powers go everywhere, I take refuge.

agajānana-padmārkaṃ gajānanam-aharniśaṃ  ।

anekadantaṃ bhaktānāṃ ekadantam-upāsmahe ॥

To the lotus-faced sun of agaja (produced from mountain- pārvati),  the elephant faced one who continuously grants multitude [of boons] to his devotees, that one with a single tusk, we worship.

gajānanaṃ bhūta-gaṇādhi-sevitaṃ

kapittha-jambū-phala-sāra-bhakṣitam ।

umā-sutaṃ śoka-vināśa-kāraṇaṃ

namāmi vighneśvara pāda-paṅgajam ॥

The one with elephant face, worshipped by bhūta gaṇā-s, by whom the essence of wood-apple/elephant-apple, rose apple, is eaten, son of umā, the cause of destruction of sorrow, I prostrate vighneśvara’s lotus feet.

Salutations to Lord Ganesha.

Garga Rishi spoke thus:

1.The unborn, beyond doubts/imagination, the formless, the one, the bliss without happiness, the completely non-dual, the Supreme, without qualities, the ineffable, desireless/motionless, of the nature of Supreme, Ganesa we prostrate.

2. Who transcends qualities, of the nature of Consciousness-Bliss, who illumines the mind, the all pervading, attained through knowledge, meditated upon by sages, of the form of the sky, the Supreme Lord, of the nature of Supreme, Ganesa we prostrate.

3. The cause of this Universe, of the nature of knowledge of cause, the first among Gods, the primal happiness, the lord of guna-s, the lord of ganas, the one who pervades the Universe, worshipped by the Universe, Lord of the Gods, of the nature of Supreme, Ganesa we prostrate.

4. We prostrate Ganesa, of the nature of Supreme, united with rajas, of the nature of Brahman, the knower of sruti-s, ever accomplished in action, whose nature is conceived through heart, the cause of the world, the essence of all the learnings.

5. We prostrate Ganesa, always united with Truth, one who captivates the gladly sporting gods, the one who rules/protects the world, who various incarnations ever for the purpose of removing ignorance, ever of the universal nature.

6. United with tamas, of the nature of Rudra, the three-eyed, the one who bears the wold, helps cross (samsara), is the cause of Knowledge, awakening one’s people with many agama-s, ever of the nature of all, to Ganesa we prostrate.

Searching searching for you they are going somewhere, [however] you can be found searching inside. O God, you shine as the hill that makes crores and crores of  mad elephants tremble (?).

Knowledge, detachment, essence of inquiry, note of musical scale, musical measure, measure of time in music, the measure of dance , chanting names, singing virtues, the chief of these nine varieties, victory to the Lord of the world.

I bow to the lotus feet of the spiritual teacher, revered sage Ramana, who showed me the Lord, shining, transcending darkness.

1. By the story of his own life impurities are removed. The red mountain (Arunacala) is delighted by the ocean of compassion. The one who knows the truth spoken by the bird-borne Vishnu. The one who bears the secret of the silence of the bull-borne Siva.

2. He is the guru of an assembly of learned men, beginning with Ganapati. He is a great repository of a wealth of virtues. Just as the thousand-rayed one (the sun) is hidden by a cloud, his true greatness is hidden by the garb of the body.

3. Ingenious at defeating the roving senses, he is skillful in praising the merits of others. He delights in the peace of silence which is without deceit, and is the slayer of the strong, reviled, frightening passions.

4. He fills his stomach only at the proper time. Undertaking inflexible vows, he lives on the slope of the mountain (Arunacala). His heart is unable to be obtained by the arrows of the God of Love. He is leading, giving the method for Self-knowledge.

5. He has crossed the fear-producing ocean of worldly life. He has hands as delicate as a lotus, which serve him as a bowl. His own gaze is unsurpassed in calmness and brightness, and he removes the fear of those who resort to his lotus feet.

6. The Treasure of adoring true devotees, his presence destroys dense misery. He maintains the duties of the ascetic, and he is preventing darkness all around.

7. Having a flood of virtues able to be described only by Sesha, the leader of the serpents, he speaks words that are pleasing, beneficial and true. He is not governed by that happiness influenced by respect and honor (from others), nor does he have distress due to dishonor (from others).

8. He is the Lord of Ascetics. With his sharp and brilliant intellect, he has with firmness destroyed the ego. He is always bearing a wave of joy, and he has killed the array of inner enemies (the six passions).

9. Having transcended all by his own merits, he wins the supreme feet of the Lord, (which are) not easily accessible by others. He is free from the feeling of "mine" and is the friend of the virtuous. He is treasured at heart by the Lord of the gaṇas, Ganapati.

10. He dwells on earth for the removal of darkness. He is Skanda, having the appearance of a man. This world has found a Lord in Ramana!

Seeing your holy face brings happiness. Your pleasing face confers goodness on all living beings. (You are) one with Brahman, the Supreme.

(You are) ever satisfied, ever happy, ever in the Bliss of Siva, (ever) strong. (You are) the supreme Maharshi. You abide firmly in Brahman, viewing everything as one.

Though our mind is like a forest, you understand (all) of its difficulties, you understand what is good for us, you cool (fulfill) our longings.

We came as supplicants and (in you) found shade (i.e. rest and peace). (You are) a magician !!

Say something good to protect us. (You are) one with Brahman, the Supreme.

Arunacala Ramana, I take refuge in you. Shower your grace on us.

By you only this earth is revolving. You are my power in everything.

You protect me in your eyes(by keeping me within your eyes). When distress comes to me you remove it/break that up.

Ramana you stay in me as Yourself.  Ramana you alone are always my God.

You rule the whole world and your shower of compassion is itself the demonstration (proof).

You are the Lord who lifts me by bestowing grace.

Our Ramana is the form (manifest and unmanifest) of Lord Arunacala.

To the divine embodiment/personification of God, to that divine form.

Let’s give arati to Arunagiri Ramana,  whose heart is filled with compassion.

To the one who loves all the creatures in the same way,

Who absorbs the burden of the  devotees  in silence,

The one who express the strength of the divine power,

The one who worships the edge/peak of Arunagiri.

Let’s give arati to Arunagiri Ramana,  whose heart is filled with compassion.

To the one who is of the nature of Veda-s, prostrations thousands of times.

To the one with  simple nature full prostration,

To the Lord who is known by the entire world with a smiling face,

The Sruti and vedas tell this - Without Guru where is knowledge?

Without Knowledge where is liberation? Reflect (bring this) this in your meditation.

He makes one like himself instantly.

He does not take time (in doing so).

The philosopher’s stone that converts iron into gold is no comparison to him.

Sadguru’s greatness is unfathomable.

The manifestation of three qualities, the Lord of the three worlds,

[Know Him] by the words “not thus” “not thus”, the immeasurable.

[Known by] revered gods, sages, people, yogis, in Samadhi (absorption), not by concentration.

Victory Lord, Victory Lord, Victory to Sri Guru Datta,

We wave the Arati to you, the worries of mundane existence have been destroyed.

In the interior and the exterior you the One, Datta.

The unfortunate ones, how can they comprehend.

When one reaches the Supreme goal, birth and death ceases.

Datta came and stood in front of me.

Full of faith/reverence, with my eight limbs, I prostrated.

Pleased, he blessed me.

Thus making me escape the cycle of birth and death.

Datta, Datta, thus meditating, the mind became free and has dissolved.

The “I”-ness and “You”-ness is forgotten.

The one Lord residing in the hearts of all (also refers to Sri Ekanath’s Guru, Janardhan Swami), know Him as Datta.

Near Avinamgudi, Kavadi dance is happening. Kaveri river is flowing at the foot of Kavalan (the protector). Panguni chariot is running in the golden colored Pazhani. The rising devotees looks like an ocean of happiness.  The perfected beings also live in the powerful Pazhani. Muruga comes on Uttiram star in the month of Panguni, and there is ten days of procession (festivities). By the wind with the smell of medicinal herb (that can revive one from death), the power is increasing. By sacks of sandal wood all the sickness (attachment/bondage) is running away. Meditate on Skanda, your virtues will increase. Prostrate to the son of Siva, goodness will rise.

In this world like an ocean, the body like a boat,

Please bestow us the shore of your feet.

Good will neither diminish or cease for those who chant your name,

You always grant the higher path, O Muruga.

Spreading rosewater on the forehead, remembering you without a break,

O six-faced who bears a spear, one of the Arupadai house,

Please protect me O Lord.

O mother of the world, my mother, One who loves to dwell in a forest of Kadamba trees, One who keeps on smiling, One who is on her own dwelling on the tall peak of the Himalaya, the greatest among the mountains, One who is very sweet, One who has the treasure of demons Madhu and Kaitabha, destroyer of the demon Kaitabha, engaged in dancing.

4. O One who split the heads (of demons) into hundreds of pieces and One who cut the trunks of great battle elephants whose great lion is skilled in terrifying valor in tearing apart the temples of enemy elephants, One who has cut down into pieces the heads of enemy chieftains with the strength of her own arms.

5. O One who holds the invincible and undiminishing striking force which arose on the occasion of killing the enemies who were hard to subdue on the battlefield who made Pramatha, the great attendant of Shiva, a leader in subtle thinking, her commander (?) who decided to destroy the messenger of demons who were sinful, with evil intentions, thoughts and mind.

6. O One who has blown aside hundreds of streams of smoke coming from demons with smoking eyes merely with her own roaring who is like a vine of blood-drops grown from the dried blood drops in battle One who delights in the company of auspicious Shiva, Shumbha, Nishumbha, and the spirits who were fed during the great battle.

7. One who decks herself with dancing ornaments on throbbing limbs at the moment of the battle, making her bow ready who killed the huge enemy soldiers with a shining sword and with (arrows from) a quiver which has golden brown spots who made the battleground with fourfold army into a stage with a colorful drama with screaming little soldiers.

10 Be victorious! be victorious! whose victory should be sung, praised by the whole universe ready to sing the praise extolling her victory who attracted the attention of shiva by twinkling of bells making various sounds of dancing who delights in beautiful singing and in dance-drama presented by a leading dancer acting out the role of an actress with half of his body.

Mukambika is the goddess presiding over the temple town of Kollur, 135 km from Mangalore, Karnataka. Here the goddess is in the linga form. In the smaller half of the linga, Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma reside and in the bigger half (separated by a golden line) resides the mother goddesses of Durga, Saraswathi and Lakshmi. In the ancient times, it is believed that there was a saint called Kola Maharshi who did penance at the present Kollur.(the place was named after him) He was troubled by a Rakshasa called Mookasura. The Adhi Prashakthi killed Mookasura and helped Kola Maharshi to do penance in peace. That is the reason why she is called Mookambika.)

1. Salutations to the one who supports the universe, of the nature of Existence-Brahman. Salutations to the one who is worshipped by Siva, Visnu, Brahma, and such. Salutations to the one who fulfills wishes of surrendering devotees. Salutations to Mahalakshmi, the Goddess of Kolapur.

2. By your compassionate glance, in your form/by your natue of Shakti, Lord Brahma creates, Lord Vishnu protects and Lord Shiva destroys this world; this is well known. Salutations to Mahalakshmi, the Goddess of Kolapur.

3. By your maya is all this pervaded, You playfully bear in your womb, the entire universe. You exist in all the beings in the form of their intelligence. Salutations to Mahalakshmi, the Goddess of Kolapur.

4 You are approached by your devotees  for getting blessed by your greatly compassionate look. They sing “O Goddess Lakshmi”  thus [in praise of] You. Salutations to Mahalakshmi, the Goddess of Kolapur.

5. For those men without great expression and dumb people, pray earnestly for your grace, And thou make them talented and wise, Oh Mukambika. Salutations to Mahalakshmi, the Goddess of Kolapur.

6. For you are the supreme spirit which stands alone, You created the entire world as if it is a play, And in spite of that people call you Gauri and Kumari. Salutations to Mahalakshmi, the Goddess of Kolapur.

7. Your form Sri Chakra , which is king of all known holy symbols, Emanated from the very great splendour of Shiva and Vishnu, And you reside in the lotus heart of the great Yogi called Kola rishi. Salutations to Mahalakshmi, the Goddess of Kolapur.

8. Salutations to the one who holds in her arm the holy conch and the holy wheel, Who by her hand removes fear and fulfills desires, Who is the holy mother who sits on the lotus pose, Who is the colour of the gold and is merciful to her devotees. Salutations to Mahalakshmi, the Goddess of Kolapur.

9. After learning this gem of the prayer by the devas, And fixing the mind on this octet on Lakshmi, And reciting them in the holy temple of Lakshmi, Would bless one with education, without any doubt .

Grant us your darshan, O! Mother Goddess,

Relations, attachments are false, only your love is true, O Mother.

Let us sit in your lap, Mother, let the supreme love well up in us.

Neither father, nor mother; neither relation and friend, nor the giver,

Neither son, nor daughter, neither servant, nor husband,

Neither wife, nor (worldly) knowledge, neither my profession,

You are my refuge, you alone are my refuge, Oh Mother Bhavani (another name for Parvati; giver of life).

[In the] endless ocean of worldly existence, [I am] greatly sorrowful and afraid,

I have fallen with excessive desires and greed, and am intoxicated,

Always tied in the bondage of this miserable samsara (worldly-existence),

You are my refuge, you alone are my refuge, Oh Mother Bhavani.

I know not charity, and meditation and yoga,

I know not the practice of tantra, and hymns and mantras,

I know not worship and yoga,

You are my refuge, you alone are my refuge, Oh Mother Bhavani.

I know not virtuous deeds, I know not pilgrimage,

I know not liberation, [I have] little concentration,

I know not devotion, religious vows; nevertheless Oh Mother,

You are my refuge, you alone are my refuge, Oh Mother Bhavani.

[i performed] bad deeds, [associated with] bad company, [had] bad thoughts, [been a] bad servant,

[I have not performed] duties, [engaged in] bad conduct,

[I saw what is ] bad with the eyes, always spoke bad words,

You are my refuge, you alone are my refuge, Oh Mother Bhavani

[i know not about] Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, Indra,

Surya (Sun-God), Chandra (Moon-God),

[I know not about] other Gods, but always seeking your refuge,

You are my refuge, you alone are my refuge, Oh Mother Bhavani

In dispute, despair extreme joy, in travels,

In water, fire, in mountains, amidst enemies,

In forest, please protect me,

You are my refuge, you alone are my refuge, Oh Mother Bhavani

[I am] an orphan, poor, [afflicted by] old age, disease,

Very weak and miserable, always with a pale countenance,

Fallen asunder, always surrounded by and lost in troubles and miseries,

You are my refuge, you alone are my refuge, Oh Mother Bhavani

1. Sometimes, in a grove on the bank of the Yamuna (river), kavara=variegated [playing] excellent music, in joy; he tastes with pleasure the lotus mouths (faces) of the cowherd women [like] a honey-drinker (i.e. a bee); his feet are worshiped by Lakshmi, Sambhu, Brahma, the Lord of the immortals (the gods, i.e. Indra) and Ganesa. The Lord of the universe, the Master, may the range of [my] vision reach (be directed toward him, extend to him), for me.

2. In the left hand a flute; on the head a crest of a peacock tail feather; on the declivity of the hips a fine cloth; from the corner of his eye, he bestows upon the accompanying followers (friends) a sidelong glance; ever, in holy Vrindavana, he shines in the height of his intimate play (in his play of complete knowledge). The Lord of the universe, the Master, may the range of [my] vision reach (be directed toward him, extend to him), for me.

3. On the brilliant, golden shore of the great ocean, on the blue mountain peak, within a lofty temple (palace), he dwells, with his strong brother Balabhadra (“powerful”); Subhadra (“very auspicious, fortunate”) stands in the middle [of them]; he bestows on all the gods the favorable opportunity for worship (service). The Lord of the universe, the Master, may the range of [my] vision reach (be directed toward him, extend to him), for me.

4. The ocean (“from far shore to near”) of grace, splendid and beautiful like a row of rain-laden (watery) rain clouds; praised very much by (shining brilliantly for) Lakshmi (goddess of good fortune), Sarasvati (goddess of speech), [and] Soma (the moon), [like] a spotless lotus, his face becoming visible; to be worshiped by the best of the gods, the crest of the Vedas sing the song of [his] exploits. The Lord of the universe, the Master, may the range of [my] vision reach (be directed toward him, extend to him), for me.

5. Mounted on a chariot, he goes along the way, met by a multitude of brahmins (“divinity on Earth”); the manifestation becoming visible, [they] commence praise; hearing, [he] is compassionate; the ocean of compassion, the friend of all the worlds, [he] brought forth [this] ocean (this ocean is his offspring). The Lord of the universe, the Master, may the range of [my] vision reach (be directed toward him, extend to him), for me.

6. The Supreme Brahman is the crowning adornment (head ornament); [like] blue lotuses with petals blown wide open the eyes; he dwells on the blue mountain, his feet laid on the head of Ananta (“endless,” Shesha); he is the bliss-essence, embracing the body, like a lake (pond), of Radha, [in] happiness. The Lord of the universe, the Master, may the range of [my] vision reach (be directed toward him, extend to him), for me.

7. [I do] not, indeed, ask for a kingdom, and not for gold, pleasure, power or wealth; I do not ask for a delightful, beautiful, excellent wife, desirable for all men; always, continually (in time after time, in death upon death), [the one whose] deeds are the song of the Lord of the pramathas (i.e. Siva) ; the Lord of the universe, the Master, may the range of [my] vision reach (be directed toward him, extend to him), for me.

8. You are the one who removes this worthless samsara very quickly, Lord of the gods. You are the one who removes sins extensive having no rival, Lord of the Yadavas. Ah! Upon the weak, afflicted, helpless and fallen, he bestows the uninterrupted and the unmoving. The Lord of the universe, the Master, may the range of [my] vision reach (be directed toward him, extend to him), for me.

Stand there for me

Say [the name of] “Hari” (one who takes away ignorance, also another name of Lord Vishnu, the all-pervading One) with your mouth, Who can count the merit [gained by it]?

Standing at the doorstep (dvAri) of the Lord even for a moment, one attains all the four kinds of Liberation (living in the same world as Him, living near Him, being of the same nature as Him, complete union with Him)

One living in samsara (worldly life) should make the tongue enthusiastically take the Name.This is what the Vedas and Shastras with raised hands say (call to attention).

Jnanadev says that Vyasa gives this hint (in Mahabharata),

Through the leader of Dwaraka (Lord Krishna) being at Pandavas house.

(Pandavas being very devoted to Krishna, Krishna was always with them through all their good and bad times)

1. The Truth, Knowledge, Infinite, eternal, not in space, supreme Space,

Who is happy to crawl in cow sheds, is beyond problems and is the end of problems,

Who due to illusion appears as without any form and with many forms,

And who is of the universe, consort of Lakshmi and is without any lord, I salute Govinda, who is supremely blissful.

2. Who with a  child like fear of Yasoda’s punishment when he ate mud,

Showed her in his open mouth visible and invisible part of fourteen worlds,

Who is the ultimate  basis of the three worlds which are visible and not visible,

Who is the Lord of the worlds and the Supreme Lord, I salute Govinda, who is supremely blissful.

3. Who killed the valorous enemies of devas, reduced the burden of earth, who destroys the disease of samsara,

Who is ever detached,  who eats butter,  who eats no food, who eats the earth,

Who shines in the mind when it is clear but cannot be revealed by anything else,

Who is auspicious , only peace, I salute Govinda, who is supremely blissful.

4. Who looks after all beings in his playful form of  cowherd,

Who protects those who look after cows, who playfully lifted the Govardhana where gopis play and made gopa lads happy,

Whose name  “Govinda” is clearly by the cows*, who has many names,

And who always is beyond the reach of the ignorant, I salute Govinda, who is supremely blissful.

5. Who is present in every group of gopis, who appears in differing forms but actually is without difference,

Whose pretty form is covered by the dust raised by the hooves of cows,

Who is attained blissfully with faith and devotion, who is beyond thought, attained by pious thoughts,

And whose greatness is determined by the gem of individual’s thought, I salute Govinda, who is supremely blissful.

6. Who climbed the tree along with clothes of women taking bath in the pond,

Who wanted those who want their clothes back,  to come close to the tree leaving everything,

Who destroyed sorrow and passion, who is wise, who is at the end of wisdom,

Whose body is not disturbed by senses, I salute Govinda, who is supremely blissful.

7. Who is beautiful , cause of causes, primeval , without beginning, who is the time in the mind,

Who danced beautifully again and again on the head of serpent Kaliya,

Who is black in colour, ever present in time and destroys the evil effects of Kali,

And who is the cause of the passage of time, I salute Govinda, who is supremely blissful.

8. Who in the land of Brindavan is being worshipped by crowd of worshipful devas,

Whose nectar like smile  is as pretty as jasmine flower, who gives happiness to his friends,

Whose twin feet are worshipped in the heart of great and worshipful sages,

Who is the sea of  good qualities which are worshipped by all, I salute Govinda, who is supremely blissful.

9. He who reads this octet on Govinda, and dedicates his mind to Govinda,

[And chants] Govinda, Achyuta, Madhava, Vishnu, Lord of Gokula and Krishna,

Will get drenched by the nectar of meditation on the lotus feet of Govinda,

Reach the blissful world of Govinda, and attain the nectar of Supreme Bliss.

vi028 bhaja govindaṁ (dvādaśamanjarikā)

(By: Adi Sankaracharya)

bhaja govindaṁ bhaja govindaṁ govindaṁ bhaja mūḍhamate

saṁprāpte sannihite kāle na hi na hi rakṣati ḍukṛñkaraṇe      1

Worship Govinda (epithet for Lord Krishna; One known through Vedas; one who guides the ignorant), worship Govinda, worship Govinda, O foolish one!

When the appointed Time (of death) comes, rules of grammar will not, will not, save you.

mūḍha jahīhi dhanāgama-tṛṣṇāṁ kuru sad-bhuddhiṁ manasi vitṛṣṇāṁ

yallabhase nija karmo-pāttaṁ vittaṁ tena vinodaya cittaṁ      2

O Fool! Give up the desire to possess wealth, make your mind pure, devoid of passions,

With whatever you attain as a result of your actions (karma), with that wealth satisfy your mind.

nāri-stanabhara-nābhīdeśaṁ dṛṣtvā mā gā mohāveśaṁ

etan-māṁsavasādi-vikāraṁ manasi vicintaya vāraṁ vāraṁ            3

Seeing a woman’s bosom and navel do not fall prey to extreme desire,

This is only a modification of flesh and fat - (thus) in the mind think well again and again.

nalinī-dalagata-jalam-ati-taralaṁ tad-vaj-jīvitam-atiśaya-capalam

viddhi vyādhy-abhimāna-grastaṁ lokaṁ śoka-hataṁ ca samastam      4

Just as a drop of water on a lotus petal is very unsteady, just so is life extremely unstable,

Know that gripped by disease and conceit (egotism), the whole world is prey to grief.

yāvad-vitto-pārjana-saktas-tāvan-nija-parivāro raktaḥ

paścāj-jīvati jarjara-dehe vārtaṁ ko'pi na pṛccati gehe            5

As long as you are capable of earning wealth, so long your own family is attached to you,

Later when the body comes to an infirm state, will anyone at home even enquire about you?

yāvat-pavano nivasati dehe tāvat-pṛccati kuśalaṁ gehe

gatavati vāyau dehāpāye bhāryā bibhyati tasmin-kāye            6

As long as the life breath resides in the body, so long they enquire of your welfare at home,

When the breath leaves the body, even your wife fears that very body.

bāla-stāvat-krīḍā-saktaḥ taruṇa-stāvat-taruṇī-saktaḥ

vṛddha-stāvac-cintā-saktaḥ parame brahmaṇi ko'pi na saktaḥ      7

In  childhood one is attached to play, in youth one is attached to young women,

In old age one is attached to worries, to the Supreme Brahman, why is not anyone attached?

kā te kāntā kaste putraḥ saṁsāro'yam-atīva vicitraḥ

kasya tvaṁ kaḥ kuta āyātaḥ tattvaṁ cintaya tadiha bhrātaḥ      8

Who is your wife? Who is your son? This  samsara is extremely strange,

Of whom are you? From where have you come? Contemplate on this Truth here, O Brother!

satsaṅgatve nis-saṅgatvaṁ nis-saṅgatve nir-mohatvam

nir-mohatve niścala-tattvaṁ niścala-tattve jīvan-muktiḥ            9

Through satsang [arises] non-attachment, through non-attachment [arises] freedom from delusion,

Through freedom from delusion [there is] unmoving Reality,

[In] unmoving Reality there is Jivanmukti (Liberation while alive).

vayasi gate kaḥ kāma-vikāraḥ śuṣke nīre kaḥ kāsāraḥ

kṣīṇe vitte kaḥ parivāro jñāte tattve kaḥ saṁsāraḥ            10

When youth has passed where is lust and its modifications, when water has dried up where is the lake,

When wealth is reduced where is the family, when Truth is known where is samsara.

mā kuru dhana-jana-yauvana-garvaṁ harati nimeṣāt-kālaḥ sarvam

māyā-mayam-idam-akhilaṁ buddhvā brahmapadaṁ tvaṁ praviśa viditvā      11

Do not have pride towards your wealth, family, youthfulness, Time takes away everything in a moment,

After knowing all this as full of maya (illusion), enter the realm of Brahman with this realization.

dinayā-minyau sāyaṁ prātaḥ śiśira-vasantau punarāyātaḥ

kālaḥ krīḍati gacchat-yāyuḥ tadapi na muñcaty-āśā-vāyuḥ            12

Day and night, dusk and dawn, winter and spring, come again,

Time plays (and) life goes away (never to come), and yet one does not leave the winds of desires.

kā te kāntā dhana-gata-cintā vātula kiṁ tava nāsti niyantā

tri-jagati sajjana-sangatir-ekā bhavati bhavārṇava-taraṇe naukā      13

Why worry about your wife, and pertaining to wealth, O! Crazy headed? Is there not for you the Ordainer?

In the three worlds, association with the good people is the only boat to cross the ocean of samsara (cycle of birth and death).

bhaja govindaṁ bhaja govindaṁ govindaṁ bhaja mūḍhamate

saṁprāpte sannihite kāle na hi na hi rakṣati ḍukṛñkaraṇe

Worship Govinda, worship Govinda, worship Govinda, O foolish one!

When the appointed Time (of death) comes, rules of grammar will not, will not, save you.

varada belāpura cenna prasannā

purandara vittala guṇa paripūrṇā

Devaki’s delight, the joy, mukunda (the one who liberates)

One who is worshipped by the sages, ever blissful,

One who steals butter (symbolizes the soft, pure and light mind),

Whose mount is the lord of birds (Garuda), savior of the worlds.

Wearing the earring in the shape of a makara (a kind of sea-animal), with pleasing dress,

Dear to Rukmini (spouse of Krishna), protector of the Pandavas,

Bearing the conch and discus, the glorious Govinda (known by the Vedas),

With lotus eyes, one who is Supreme Bliss.

Killer of Kamsa, wearing the Kaustubha gem as an ornament,

Whose feet are worshipped by the one whose mount is a swan,

The delight of the blessed Belapura,

Purandara’s Vittala (name for Krishna),  [the one] completely full of virtues.

181. The Puranas say that Lord Narayana has killed the demon [of misery], Naraka Asura. This demon is none other than the one who lives as “I am this body, the source of misery”. One who seeks Naraka Asura’s [i.e., the ego’s] source, and thus annihilates him, is truly Lord Narayana Himself.

182. The Deepavali-bath, which is taken by all people on the fourteenth moon in remembrance of the conquest of Naraka, signifies the bath of Jnana, which is taken after destroying the ego Naraka Asura, by searching for his source.

182. (Composed by Bhagavan) He who kills Narakasura (the ego) with the Wheel [i.e.weapon] of Jnana, by enquiring, “Where is the source of Narakasura who rules over Narakaloka,this wretched body, as ‘I’?”, is Lord Narayana; and that day [of the ego’s destruction] is the auspicious day of the fourteenth moon.

183. Deepavali signifies the great Self-Effulgence which shines after destroying the reflected light [i.e. the ego], Narakasura, who was ruling this filthy body, which is the form of hell, as ‘I’.

183. (Composed by Bhagavan)  Deepavali signifies the shining of Self after the destruction, through enquiry, of the greatest sinner, Naraka [the ego], who took the abode of this filthy body, which is the form of hell, as ‘I’.

1. O Ganga, the Goddess, the Lord of gods, the divine, the one who enables to cross over the three worlds, with waves moving to and fro, the one who adorns Lord Shiva’s head, the pure, may my mind remain at your lotus feet.

2. O Bhagirathi, mother who gives happiness,  the significance of your holy waters is well known in the Vedas. I am incapable of comprehending your greatness. O compassionate one please protect me, the ignorant.

3. O Devi! Your waters are as sacred as “Charanamriti” of Sri Hari. Your waves are white like snow, moon and pearls. Please wash away all my sins and help me cross this ocean of Samsara.

4. O Mother! those who partake of your pure waters, definitely attain the highest state. O Mother Ganga! Yama, the Lord of death cannot harm your devotees.

5. O Jahnavi! your waters flowing through the Himalayas make you even more beautiful. You are Bhishma’s mother and sage Jahnu’s daughter. You are saviour of the people fallen from their path, and so you are revered in all three worlds.

6. O Mother! You fulfill all the desires of the ones devoted to you. Those who bow down to you do not have to grieve. O Ganga! You are restless to merge with the ocean, just like a young lady anxious to meet her beloved.

7. O Mother! those who bathe in your waters do not have to take birth again. O Jahnavi! You are held in the highest esteem. You destroy your devotee’s sins and save them from hell.

8. O Jahnavi! You are full of compassion. You purify your devotees with your holy waters. Your feet are adorned with the gems of Indra’s crown. Those who seek refuge in you are blessed with happiness.

9. O Bhagavati! Take away my diseases, sorrows, difficulties, sins and wrong attitudes. You are the essence of the three worlds and you are like a necklace around the Earth. O Devi! You alone are my refuge in this Samsara.

10. O Ganga! those who seek happiness worship you. You are the source of happiness for Alkapuri and source of eternal bliss. Those who reside on your banks are as privileged as those living in Vaikunta.

11. O Devi ! It is better to live in your waters as turtle or fish, or live on your banks as poor “candal” rather than to live away from you as a wealthy king.

12. O Godess of Universe! You purify us. O daughter of muni Jahnu! one who recites this Ganga Stotram everyday, definitely achieves success.

13. Those who have devotion for Mother Ganga, always get happiness and they attain liberation. This beautiful and lyrical Gangastuti is a source of Supreme bliss.

14. This Ganga Stotram, written by Shankara, the devotee of Lord Shankara, purifies us and fulfills all our desires.

Mohi tohi lagi kaise chute, Mohi tohi lagi kaise chute.

As a river enters into the ocean so my heart ever touches Thee.

And how could the love between Thee and me sever?

Mohi tohi lagi kaise chute, Mohi tohi lagi kaise chute.

Yama’s (Dharmaraja’s) Praise of Siva

Skanda Purana 4:2:78:32-41

Dharma said:

32. Obeisance, obeisance to the cause of all causes. Obeisance, obeisance to the one without a cause. Obeisance, obeisance to you who are the nature of the effect (the purpose). Obeisance to the one whose nature is different from the effects (with effects destroyed/separated from effects).

33. To the one whose form is formless, to the one who is all forms, to the one whose nature is the subtlest, to the one who is prior and after (to the one who is the higher and the lower), to the one who carries one across the boundless sea [of samsara], to the one who grants the further shore of the extensive waters [of illusion], to you, the moon-crested one, obeisance.

34. You are without a lord (having no other lord over you). You are the Lord of the universe. You are the nature of the attributes (gunas). You are without attributes. You are beyond time. You are beyond prakriti.  To the one who is time, to the original nature of time (and death), to you, obeisance.

35. You alone are the bestower of the abode of Nirvana. You alone are the infinite power of Nirvana (or: you alone are Nirvana, Oh, infinite power). You alone are the nature of the Self. You alone are the nature of the Supreme Self. You are the inner Self of the moving and the unmoving.

36. Oh, sole, kinsmen of the universe, the universe originates from you, you, indeed, are directly the universe itself, and the universe is yours. You are the first creator, the protector, and the annihilator. Obeisance, obeisance [to you] Oh, Lord of Vidhatr (Brahma) and Vishnu.

37. You are the bestower of compassion to those who follow the path of the Vedas. You alone are the terrible one to those who do not follow the path of the Vedas. Oh, Soma (one with Uma), you are the benefactor of those possessing (living in) excellent devotion. Oh, Rudra, you are the fierce one to those devoid of devotion.

38. You are the trident bearer to the hateful (hostile). You alone are Siva (the auspicious) for those with humble minds and words. You are the sole glorious-throated one to those who resort to your feet. You are the fierce-throated one with the poison halahala to the wicked ones.

39. May this obeisance be to you, Oh, Sankara, the quiescent one. Obeisance to you, Oh, Shambu, adorned with a digit of the moon (the crescent moon). Obeisance to you, the one with serpents for ornaments, having pinaka (bow) in the hand. Obeisance to the enemy of Andhaka.

40. He, indeed, is blessed (fortunate) who has devotion to you. He alone who is your worshipper is meritorious and virtuous. He who always praises you shall be praised by Indra (the unshaken) and other devas (gods).

41. Oh, [Lord with] infinite power, who here like me with an insignificant intellect is capable of praising your magnificence, you here who are inaccessible to the words of the ancients? This prayer to you is only bowing with humility to you.
