Early Morning Prayer
When you wake up in the morning, turn on to your right
side before sitting up. After sitting up, hold both palms
before your eyes, and chant the following mantra:

Karagre Vasate Lakshmi Karmadhye Saraswati
Karmule Tu Govindaha Prabhaate Karadarshanam

Sanskrit to English Word Meaning
Karagre‐on the tip of your fingers; vasate‐ dwells;
Lakshmi‐ the Goddess of Prosperity, Lakshmi; karamule‐
on the base of your hands; Saraswathi‐ the Goddess of
Knowledge Saraswathi; karamadhye‐ in the middle of
your hands; tu‐whereas; Govindah‐the Lord Govindah;
prabhate‐in the morning; karadarshanam‐look at your
palm.

Translation
On the tip of your fingers is Goddess Lakshmi; on the
base of your fingers is Goddess Sarasvati; in the middle
of your fingers is Lord Govinda. In this manner, look at
your palm

Brief Explanation
This is a Morning Prayer called “karadarshana”. One
begins the day with this prayer. ‘kara” means the palm
of the hand and it stands for the five karmendriyas, or
the organs of action. While looking at the palm, one
invokes the Lord in the form of various deities, thus
sanctifying all the actions that will be done during the
11

day. By acknowledging the Lord as the giver of the
capacity to perform actions and as the giver of the fruits
of those actions, one sanctifies the actions. Thus, one
prays in the morning to reinforce the attitude that all
actions are performed as a service to the Lord.

couple of morning prayers

Samudra vasane devi
parvatha sthana mandithe
Vishnu pathni namasthubyam
paada sparsham kshamasvame

O mother earth, who has oceans as her clothes,
mountains and forests as her body, who is the wife of
the lord vishnu, i bow to you, please forgive me as my
feet are touching you!

Kausalya supraja rama
Poorva sandhya pravarthathey
Uthishta nara shaardoola
Kartvayam daiva maahnikam

This shloka was addressed by sage vishwamithra to lord
Rama in a forest on the way when he was taking rama
to stop the cruel rakhsasas who were disturbing the
yagnas performed by saints. He gently woke up Rama
reminding him that it was dawn and duties are
important.

Chant this while taking bath

This means we are bathing in the sacred waters from all
the sacred rivers of India.

Before eating Food !

The following can be chanted to be always blessed with
food to eat:

Annadae devi daehyannam pas(h)oon puthran
yas(h)as(h)riyam
Aayuraarogyam ais(h)varyam daehi devi
namo(a)sthuthae

When you cook, any simple chanting like "om
nama(h)ivaya" or " om namo narayanaya " or
something similar can be said. It is just to prevent the
mind from wandering to unpleasant thoights & the
positive energy in the food to be magnified.

Salt water mopping can be done everyday, but please
throw away the water immediately into WC. Never keep
15

it since it is said to be contaminated with negtive
energy.

Ask somebody to hold the baby & do the dhrishti
procedure as i said. Always use ordinary rock salt for all
this.

Here is a slokam to recite, before eating the food
chittraya namaha chitraguptaya namaha
siva rupena namaha yama rupena namaha

The meaning of this slokam is it will eliminate the yama
bayyam(fear before dying) and chitra guptan will forgive
the positive lies

Shloka for ugaadi
We use to chant this shloka on ugaadi when my dad
would give the BEVU‐BELLA (a mixture of neem and
34

jaggery) that denotes life as a mixture of happiness and
sorrow. We would chant the below shloka and eat that
mixture. Here in KL, though i don't get bevu‐bella to eat,
but still I get to experience the bevu‐bella of life. Let us
all pray God that we will be able to take happiness and
sorrow in our stride.

" Puja for the goodness of married women ,
kalasha puja, puja to cow, puja to elephant ,
financial help in educating somebody , helping
poor girls to get married , cremating orphaned
dead bodies"
By doing even one of these, the person gets the
fruit of doing aswamedha yaga ,
which was done by king yudhishtra in
mahabharata to obtain blessings of the Gods.
In this era , it is absolutely impossible for us even
to thinkof doing such great yaagas. So ancient
seers have shown us certain easy,defenite paths
to obtain the blessings of god and to obtain good
life. So let all of us , who are financially well‐off
spend atleast small amount of money to the
needy and poor!

Adi Sankaracharya's Bhavani Ashtakam
I'm here posting the "Bhavani Ashtakam" of Adi
Sankaracharya". I happened to see it and felt that i
should share it with you all.

It is in English with meanings..

Please forgive me if there is something wrong.
This great Stotra by Adhi Sankaracharya would move
any one who reads it to tears. If a great soul like Him,
had to describe himself, thus, Imagine the state of an
ignoramus ones like us.

Na thatho, na matha, na bandur na datha,
Na puthro, na puthri , na bruthyo , na bartha,
Na jayaa na Vidhya, na Vruthir mamaiva,
Gathisthwam, Gathisthwam Thwam ekaa Bhavani.

Neither the mother nor the father,
Neither the relation nor the friend,
Neither the son nor the daughter,
Neither the servant nor the husband,
Neither the wife nor the knowledge,
And neither my sole occupation,
Are my refuges that I can depend, Oh, Bhavani,
So you are my refuge and my only refuge, Bhavani.

Bhavabdhava pare , Maha dhukha Bheeru,
Papaatha prakami , pralobhi pramatha,
43

Kam samsara pasa prabadha sadaham,
Gathisthwam, Gathisthwam thwam ekaa Bhavani.

I am in this ocean of birth and death,
I am a coward, who dare not face sorrow,
I am filled with lust and sin,
I am filled with greed and desire,
And tied I am, by the this useless life that I lead,

Na Janaami Dhanam, Na cha dhyana yogam,
Na janami thathram, na cha sthothra manthram,
Na janami poojam, na cha nyasa yogam,
Gathisthwam, Gathisthwam thwam ekaa Bhavani

Neither do I know how to give,
Nor do I know how to meditate,
Neither do I know Thanthra*,
Nor do I know stanzas of prayer,
Neither do I know how to worship,
Nor do I know the art of yoga,
So you are my refuge and my only refuge, Bhavani

Na janami Punyam, Na janami theertham,
Na janami mukthim, layam vaa kadachit,
Na janami bhakthim, vrutham vaapi maatha,
Gathisthwam, Gathisthwam, thwam ekaa Bhavani.

Know I not how to be righteous,
Know I not the way to the places sacred,
44

Know I not methods of salvation,
Know I not how to merge my mind with God,
Know I not the art of devotion,
Know I not how to practice austerities, Oh, mother,

Kukarmi, kusangi, kubudhi, kudhasa,
Kulachara heena, kadhachara leena,
Kudrushti, kuvakya prabandha, sadaham,

Perform I bad actions,
Keep I company of bad ones,
Think I bad and sinful thoughts,
Serve I Bad masters,
Belong I to a bad family,
Immersed I am in sinful acts,
See I with bad intentions,
Write I collection of bad words,
Always and always,

Prajesam, Ramesam, Mahesam, Suresam,
Dhinesam, Nisidheswaram vaa kadachit,
Na janami chanyath sadaham saranye,
Gathisthwam, Gathisthwam thwam ekaa Bhavani

Neither Do I know the creator,
Nor the Lord of Lakshmi,
Neither do I know the lord of all,
45

Nor do I know the lord of devas,
Neither do I know the God who makes the day,
Nor the God who rules at night,
Neither do I know any other Gods,
Oh, Goddess to whom I bow always,

Vivadhe, Vishadhe, pramadhe, pravase,
Jale cha anale parvathe shatru madhye,
Aranye, saranye sada maam prapahi,

While I am in a heated argument,
While I am immersed in sorrow,
While I am suffering an accident,
While I am travelling far off,
While I am in water or fire,
While I am on the top of a mountain,
While I am surrounded by enemies,
And while I am in a deep forest,
Oh Goddess, I always bow before thee,

Anadho, dharidro, jara roga yuktho,
Maha Ksheena dheena, sada jaadya vakthra,
Vipathou pravishta, pranshata sadhaham,

While being an orphan,
While being extremely poor,
46

While affected by disease of old age,
While I am terribly tired,
While I am in a pitiable state,
While I am being swallowed by problems,
And While I suffer serious dangers,
I always bow before thee,
So you are my refuge and only refuge, Bhavani

Slokam for easy delivery

Mantra for Easy Delivery

Mathru boodeswaro devo
Bakthanaa mishta thayaka
Sukanthi kunthala naavaha
Suka Prasava Mrichchathuhu.

Hima vathyuththarey parthavey
Surathaa nama yakshini
Tasyaha smarana mathrena
Visalya karpini paveth.

Hey sankara smarahara
Bramahathathi natha
Mannatha samba sasisooda
Harathri soolin
Sambo sukaprasavakrutha

NB:It is advisable to recite this mantra 11 times a day
57

daily after bath.
Can recite more on Monday. The number of times you
chant depends on the physical and other condition of
the pregnant woman. Tayumanavar is a very
compassionate God who took a female form to assist a
woman in labour. He will accept even a thought beamed
at Him. If possible, pls offer some oil or ghee to any
Shivan temple thinking it is Tayumanavar temple in
Trichy.

Vamsa Vrudhi kara Durga Kavacham
(Armour of Durga that protects family growth)
Translated By
P.R.Ramachander

Sanaischara Uvacha:‐
Lord Sani told:‐

Bhagawan deva devesa krupaya thwam jagat prabho ,
vamsakhya kavacham broohi mahyam sishyaya they
anagha yasya prabhavath devesa, Vamso vrudhir
jayathe,

Oh God , Oh god of gods, Oh Lord of the universe,
please be kind enough to tell that Armour to this
faultless disciple of yours , which deals about family and
by the power of which , the family will grow.

Soorya Uvacha:‐
(Lord Sun said:‐

Srunu puthra pravakshyami , vamsakhyaam kavacham

59

nrunam. 1

Hear what I narrate my son, which is the armour dealing
with family,
And would result in more children, protection of
pregnancy and the foetus.
Vandhyapi labhathe puthram kaka vandhya suthair
yadha,
Mrutha vathsa suputhra asyath sravath Garbha sthira
praja. 2

She who cannot conceive children would get sons,
She who has only one child would get more children,
She who delivers dead children would get good
children,
And her pregnancy would always be protected and,
Her delivery would always be safe.

Apushpa pushpinee yasaya , dharanascha sukha prasoo,
Kanya praja puthreeni yethath sthothram prabhavatha. 3

With the power of this prayer,
All pregnancies would lead to safe delivery,
Girls who do not flower will flower,
And women with only girl children,
Would become mother of male children.

Problems created by ghosts and corpses,
Problems created by Kali , planets and devas,
And problems created by our enemies,
Would completely become ashes ,
Due to the power of this armour,
All diseases would be cured,
And all homes will have children.

And the north east be protected by she who rides the

lion.

Let Shakhambaree protect my head,
And let Bhairavee protect my face.

64

Anena kavechanangam saptha varabhi manthritham,
Rithu snano jalampeethwa bhaveth garbhavathi
druvam. 13

Those sinless who without fail chant this armour for
seven days,
And Taking bath after the periods , they would become
pregnant for sure.

Garbha patha bhaye peethwa druda Garbha prajayathe
14

To those who are afraid of abortions a firm pregnancy
would set.

Anena kavachenaadha marjitha yaa nisagame,
Sarva badha vinirmuktha garbhinee syath na samsaya.
15

Repeating without sin the armour with a cleansed mind
at onset of darkness,
One would get rid of all problems and would no doubt
become pregnant.

Anena kavacheneha grandhitham raktha dorakam,
Kati dese darayanthi suputhra sukha bhagini,
Asootha puthramindrani jayanthamyath prabhavatha.
16

65

The sinless one after reading the armour several times,
Over a red thread and ties it on her hip,
Would surely become a mother of a son without
problems,
And that son in his prowess will win over even Indra.

Gurupadhishtam vamsakhyam kavacham thadhidham
sada,
Guhyath guhyathara chedham na prakasyam hi
sarvatha,
Dharanath patanadhasya vamsachedho na cjayathe. 17

This Armour as per teachings of Guru should be learned
by heart,
For it is more secret than the secret and should not be
cut or made known,
And wearing or reading this will ensure that family is
never cut.

Ithi Sri Jnana Bhaskare Vamsa Vrudhikaram Durga

Girl to get married!

I remember Somebody asking for a shlokam to be
chanted for a girl to get married. Chant the following
108 times everyday.

Kaathyaayani mahaamaayae mahaayogin yatheeswari
Nandagopasutham devi pathim mae kuruthae namah

67

This is to ward off evil

light a piece of camphor in a betel leaf or a small plate.
Keep it in a plate of arathi ( water mixed with chunnam‐
lime & turmeric or if lime is not available, use kumkum).
Make the child or person(s) sit facing east or west. You
stand in front holding this, make 3 clockwise circular
motions first, then 3 anticlockwise circular motions
next, then upward & downward 3 times, chanting the
following shloka:

Subrahmanyascha saenaani guha skandascha
vaamanah
Mahaasaeno dvaadas(h)aaksha vis(h)vabuk ambikaa
suthah
bhoothes(h)a paavakee s(h)reemaan vis(h)aaka
s(h)ikivaahanah
kaankaeyacha gajaaroodaa s(h)athruhanthaa
s(h)daaksharaa

Nobody should utter a word, but be quiet. After this
take the water & pour it outside the house on the road.
Those who live abroad should be able to make their
own adjustments !

Avoiding bad dreams!!!

Chant this sloka if you are troubled by bad dreams....

Rama Skanda hanumantam vainadeyam vrukodaram
68

Sayane sa smaren nityam dus‐swapnam tasya nashyati

Forgive me, my Lord !

yanmae manasaa vaachaa karmanaa vaa dushkrutha
krutham
thanna indro varuno bruhaspathih savithaa cha
punanthu punah punah

Whatever sins have been committed by me, by thought,
word or deed,may the Supreme Lord, the source of
strength, wisdom & purity, forgive me & cleanse me of
them all.

Pardon mistakes

This is a very important and a necessary thread as all of
us need this for our spiritual well being which in turn
ensures our quality of life. Thanks IL!

The following two slokas are good to say at the end of
the day. I also chant them after reading Sahasranamams
or other long winding recitations because one
inadvertantly makes some pronunciation mistakes. With
this, you beg for the Almighty's forgivenss for all the
trespasses.

There are 9 + 8 + 7 = 24 namaas.
These are supposed to explain the 24 letters of Gayathri
Mantra.
So, chanting these first 3 shlokas is as sacred as reciting
Gayathri Manthra.

105

Death bed or KarNa Mantras.

These shlokas are to be chanted in the right ear when a
person’s end is very near, by his near and dear ones
around him.

The following is by Adi Shankara:

Yadaa avarNayath karNamoolae
Anthakaalae s(h)ivo raama raamaethi raamaethi
kaas(h)yaam
Thadaekam param thaarakam brahmaroopam
Bhajae aham Bhajae aham Bhajae aham Bhajae aham

A person attains liberation, if, on his death bed, those
around him chant Rama nama and Shiva nama in his
ears.

The following is from Bhagavadgita – 18.66

Sarvadharmaan parithyajya maamaekam s(h)araNam
vraja
Aham thvaa sarvapaapaebhyo mokshayishyaami maa
s(h)uchah

In this verse Krishna summarises the entire teachig of
Gita thus:
Abandoning dependence on all dharmas ( or on human
efforts at moral and spritual upliftment), come to Me as
the only Refuge. Grieve not; I will deliver you from all
106

sins.

This is the essence of the entire Gita, nay, the essence
of the entire scriptural literature.

Dhanvantri & Mrithunjaya Mantras

If somebody is very sick or has health problems, these
shlokas may be chanted in the house for a peaceful
atmosphere. On normal days also they can be chanted
for overall good health.
By chanting them, your troubles may not vanish totally
but the intensity of trouble is reduced and you get the
inner strength to face them with courage and
confidence.

Obeisances unto the Supreme Bhaghavan known as
Sudarshana Vasudev Dhanvantari, the holder of the
Kalasha full of nectar of imortality, who removes all
fears, who removes all diseases, the well wisher of the
three worlds, and sustainer of the three worlds, He is
Vishnu swarupa, by the name Dhanvantri, empowered
to heal the Jiva souls.

is:

2 – The following is traditionally chanted by family and
friends for a person who is ill or approaching death. This
Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is a life‐giving Mantra.
In these days, when life is very complex and accidents
are an everyday affair, this Mantra wards off death by
accidents and fatal illnesses. It has a great curative
effect for diseases pronounced incurable by modern
medicine; they are known to be cured by chanting this
Mantra with sincerity, faith and devotion. It is a weapon
against disease. It is a healing Mantra to conquer death.

Thryambakam yajaamahae sughanthim
pushtivardhanam
Urvaarukamiva bandhanaath mrithyormuksheeya
maamruthaath

We worship the three‐eyed One (Lord Shiva) who is
fragrant and who promotes prosperity. May we be
freed from the bondage of death even as a ripe
cucumber falls from its stalk, and not be deprived of
immortality.

All these mantras improve the positive effects in the
house of a sick person.

1 – Omithyaekaaksharam brahma vyaaharanamaam
anusmaran
Yah prayaathi thyajandaeham sa yaathi paramaam

One who departs leaving the body, repeating the
monosyllable OM and thinking of me, attains the

Rakshaamsi bheethaani dis(h)O dravanthi
Sarvae namasyanthi cha siddha sangghaah ( ch: 11 . 36
)

This is one of the "surrender shlokas".
(Arjuna said ‐ ) Oh Lord ! it is but proper that the world
is delighted and gratified by the glorification of You. The
frightened demons run in all directions and all the hosts
of Siddhas bow down to you.

Sarvathah s(h)uthimallokae sarvamaavr(u)thya

eyes, heads and mouths everywhere. It has ears
everywhere. It remains pervading everything in the

Apad Uddharana Stotram

Dear all,

I am posting the Apad Uddharana Stotram, with
translation below. It has been of great help to me during
times of distress.
OM Aapadaam apaharthaaram dhataaram sarva
sampadaam lokabhiraamam Sri Raamam bhuyo bhuyo
namaamyaham

OM I bow down again and again to that Sri Raama, the
beloved of the whole world, who gets rid of all
difficulties and accidents, and provides for all kinds of
(spiritual and material) riches.

Aarthaanaam aarthihanthaaram bheethaanam bheethi
naashanam Dwishadaam kaladandam tam
Raamachandram namaamyaham

He who annihilates the pain of the distressed, He who
destroys fear in the minds of the fearful, He who is like
the Weapon of Death to his enemies, that
Raamachandra do I worship.

Agrathah prishtatha chaiva paarshwathascha
174

mahabaloh aakarna poorna dhanvaanoh rakshaithaam
raamalakshmanau

Those two warriors of supreme strength, Raama and
Lakshmana stand with me, before and behind, always
close by, armed to the ears with weapons like bow etc,
they always protect me.

Sannaddhah kavachih khadgi chaapabaanadharor yuvah
gacchan mamaagratho nithyam raamah paathu
salakshmanah

Ever ready for providing protection, wearing armour,
wielding the sword, bow and arrows, those two vibrant
youth always walk with me. O Raama and Lakshmana,
protect me!

Namah kodandahasthaaya sandhih krithasaraaya cha
dandithaakhila daityaaya raama aapannivarane

I bow down to the bow‐wielding Raama, armed with
incisive arrows, the subduer of all asuras, he who wards
off all my difficulties

Raamaya raamabhadraaya raamachandraya vedhase
raghunaathaya naathaya seethaayah pathaye namah

I bow down to him whom I know as Raama,
Raamabhadra, Raamachandra, Raghunaatha, Naatha
(my overlord) and husband of Seetha.
175

Achyuthaananda govinda naamochaarana bheshajaath
nashyanthi sakalaa rogaah sathyam sathyam
vadaamyaham

Chanting the divine healing names achyutha, Anantha
and Govinda, all diseases will be destroyed, this I
proclaim as the Truth, the Truth indeed.

Achyuthaananda govinda vishno naraayanaamrutha
rogaanme naashayaasheshaan aashu dhanvanthare
hare

O Achyutha, O Anantha, O Govinda, O Vishnu, O
Naarayana, O Dhanvantari, O Hari, O divine nectar, be
pleased to cure all my diseases, completely.

Achyuthaananda govinda vishno dhanvanthare hare
Vaasudevaakhilaanas ya rogaan naashaya naashaya

O Achyutha, O Anantha, O Govinda, O Vishnu, O
Dhanvantari, O Hari, O Vaasudeva, be pleased to cure
the diseases of All living beings.

Achyuthaananda govinda sacchidaananda saaswathah
macchetho Raamathaan nithyam twachcharu
charanaambuje

O Achyutha, O Anantha, O Govinda, O embodiment of
Truth, Consciousness and Bliss, O Life Eternal, be
176

pleased to bless me that my heart always rejoices in
your beautiful lotus feet

Hare raama hare raama raama raama hare hare hare
krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare
Jale vishnuh sthale vishnuh vishnuraakashamuchy athe
sthaavaram jangamam vishnuh sarvam vishnumayam

All water is Vishnu, All earth is Vishnu, All space is
Vishnu himself, Whatever exists, mobile or immobile, is
Vishnu himself, the whole Universe is pervaded by
Vishnu
Sarvadharmaan parityajya maamekam saranam vraja
aham tvaam sarvapaapebhyo mokshayishyaami ma
suchah

Giving up all other Dharmas, I completely surrender to
Krishna alone, He will uplift me from all sin, so I do not
despair

Sathyam sathyam punah sathyam utkshipya bhujam
uchyathe vedaah saastram param naasthi na devam
keshavaat param

This is Truth, this is only the Truth, holding both hands
aloft I repeat this Truth Aloud, aside from the Vedas,
there is no other scripture, There is no other God, apart
from Keshava
177

Sareere jarjaree bhoothe vyaadhigraste kalevare
aushadham jahnavee thoyam, vaidyo Naarayano Harih

When all vital life forces leave the body, when the
whole being is seized by incurable diseases, what
medicine is there, than river Ganga, who else but God
Naarayana, Hari, would come to me as physician

Aalodya sarvashaastraani vichaarya cha punah punah
idhamekam sunishpannam dhyeyo Naarayano Harih

After pondering over all scriptures, and after
contemplating over them again and again, only one
thing strikes absolutely clear, that God Naarayana, Hari
is to be contemplated always

Kaayena vaachaa manasendriyair vaa buddhyatmana
vaa prakritheh swabhaavaat karomi yad yad sakalam
parasmai Naarayanaayethi samarpayaami

Whatever I do with my limbs, words, thoughts, intellect,
will, nature or inclination, all that, and whatever else I
do, I offer to Naarayana, Who is Supreme above all

Yadakshara padabhrashtam maatraaheenam tu
yadbhavet tathsarvam kshamyathaam deva naaraayana
namostute

Any mistakes of whatever sort, in what I have hitherto
178

said, for them all, I pray to God Naarayana, seeking his
forgiveness

Visargabindumaathra ani padapaadaaksharaani cha
nyoonaani chaathirikthaani kshamasva purushotthama

O Supreme Purusha, for all kinds of errors and mistakes,
kindly forgive me.

Anyathaa saranam naasthi tvameva saranam mama
tasmaath kaarunya bhaavena raksha raksha
mahaprabho
I have no one in this world but you, you are my sole
support. Hence protect me, protect me, O Supreme
Lord, ever with a compassionate aspect.
OM Tat Sat. Hari hi OM.

Note:
Make a prayer to Thayumanavar at Tiruchirapalli
rockfort that you will be visiting his temple with the kid
and do an abishek upon the fulfillment of your prayer
and ask the pregnant lady to chant the mantra.
It is advisable to recite this mantra 11 times a day daily
after bath.

Ladies can chant Smartha Gayathri from
Adithya Purana:
I once asked my Guru, if ladies can chant gayathri
Mantra. He gave me the following mantra & said " you
187

can chant this'. you can draw your own inference!

Smartha Gayathri from Adithya Purana:

Yo daevassavithaa(a)smaakam dhiyodharmaadi
gocharaah
Praerayaeth thasya yadbhargah
tadvaraenyamupaasmahae

We resort to that pre‐eminent and divine lustre of
Brahman which manifests in the Sun‐God which impels
our intellectual faculties to move in conformity with the
codes of conduct.

I took the following from another Gayathri manthra
book.

Srirangarajasthava;

thejah param thathsavithur varaenyam dhaamnaa
paraenaa pranakaath suvarnam
tvaam pundareekekshanamaamananathi
s(h)reerangaraajam samupaasisheeya

I approach Lord Sri Rangaraja with the firm conviction
that He is the same as the Lotus‐eyed ( pundarikaksha0,
who, staying in His celestial abode dispenses his
effulgence through the pre eminent sun.

188

Sri Vedanta Desika:

Prathipurushamanaekaah prathyavastham vichithraah
ss(h)ubha gathishu dhiyohnah chodayanthyajjasaa nah
Akhilachidaachidantharyaami tadvishnusamjnam
savithurahamupaasaethasya devasya bhargah

I adore the Radiance of the Sun‐God which is dispensed
by the Lord known as Vishnu the creator as
who,pervading & controlling the hearts of all, impels
forcefully each individual on the auspicious path but in
different ways.

Mantr for controlling anger

The mantra is:
"Om Shaantae Prashaantae sarva krOdha Prashamanee
swaahaa"

This can be chanted 21 times to energize a small vessel
of water, and then sprinkled over the person and also
consumed.

This mantra has to energized initially (for siddhi
purposes) by chanting this for 10,000 times. After that,
this mantra can be used as described above.

In case such sprinkling is not possible due to practical
reasons, you may just chant the mantra mentally in the
angry person's presence.
189

This mantra can pacify all anger (even wrath of Gods!).

Re: Mantras to ward off black magic !

There are many mantras to nullify the effects of black
magic.

1) There is a homam on Ucchishta Mahaaganapati that
can be most helpful in this regard. contact reputed
upaasakaas for this purpose. One person I know in this
regard is Pandit. DAKSHINAMOORTHI avargal about
whom I often I refer in this forum. He is a highly saatwik
but courageous upaasakaa, and very philosophical in his
approach. As he is doing Ganapathi homam on all
chaturthis, you can get in touch with him in this regard
if you are interested. If you are in chennai, you can
contact Guruji directly at his residence in Babanagar,
Villivakkam.

You may approach any person whom you deem to be a
spiritual expert also in this regard (But please note that
Ucchishta Ganapathi recitals are not done by everyone
unlike Mahaa Ganapathi japam that is known to all
vedic shastris. That is why I referred Pandit avargal's
name).

2) Chanting the following slokha :Paraabhichaara
samanah Dukha Panjana kaarakah
Lavah Druti kalaa KAshtA Nimaeshah kati
muhUrthahah" from Ganapathy Sahasranaamam is a
powerful remedy for black magic. You have to keep Holy
Ash in your right hand and chant the above mantra 108
194

times and then smear your forehead (or on the
forehead of the person who is suspected to be afflicted
with black magic) after the recital. Within 48 days you
will find good improvement.
3) Chanting/ listening to Sarabha Upanishad can be a
good healer for this.
4) Worship of Goddess Pratiyangira helps in removing
black magic.
5) Reciting Hanumaan Chaalisaa 9 times daily for 18
days gives good recovery from evil effects of black
magic.
6) Performance of Dattatreya homam on Pournami days
will help.

You may perform any one or more of the above as per
your convenience.

A wonderful slokha from Aananda Saagara
Stavam

I am posting a wonderful slokha from Aananda saagara
sthavam (author : Shri Neelakanta Deekshitar ‐ in the
lineage of the Great Appayya Deekshitar; Shri
Neelakanta Deekshitar was an advisor to Thirumalai
naicker and this great classical work of 108 slokhas was
written under miraculous circumstances about which I
will make a detailed post if possible in our group).

"Na gnyaayate mama hitam nitaraamupaayO
DeenOsmi Devi samayAcharanAkshamOsmi
195

tat tvAm ananya sharanam sharanam prapadye
MeenAkshi vishwa jananIm jananIm mamaiva"

(This is the 32nd verse in that Magnum opus).

The meaning of this is:

"I do not know what is good for me; I do not know the
means of attaining it. I am incapable of performing the
prescribed rituals as per your wonderful Samayaachaara
lineage. Therefore, I who have no other refuge take
refuge in Thee, O Meenaakshi, the Mother of the
Universa ‐ and also my MOTHER!"

You can chant this while lighting the prayer lamp. This is
a "prapatti" slokha ‐ invoking Mother Goddess as your
personal God Mother. Reciting this slokha can secure
forgiveness for possible shortcomings in pooja
procedures/ rituals, and secure the Grace of Divine
Mother. After all you are declaring mother Meenaakshi
as your mother. How can a Mother punish a child? A
Mother is always forgiving and indulgent, and will try to
cover up the shortcomings of children and correct them
gently. So, Mother Meenaakshi will guide the family
with Her Invisible Presence when this slokha is chanted.

I am posting this in response to the query of a member
of this group who wanted to know what are the slokhas
that can be chanted apart from the usual "shubham
karoti kalyaanam...." slokha.

I am posting here a prayer given to me by an elder who
lead a very successful life in form of material and spiritual
achievements in life.He said he recited it in his moments
of happiness,sorrow,success,failure and every day.
This gave him positivity and helped him remain tempret

I have seen him like that..very serene and very joyous.
I have just recently started reading it and felt this could
help a lot of us;and will lead us to positive existance,
with satisfaction to ourselves and a joy to the
friends,family and collegues with whom we will have a
harmonious existance.
The words are profound and require to be read and re‐
read.
I have pasted it on the dressers mirror and thus forced
to read it, which is helping me in my existance...

Makara Sankaranti

Though we worship Surya everyday, his entry into the
zodiac sign Makara is celebrated by the Hindus all over
the world as Makara Sankaranti, the beginning of
Uttarayana. It is the day on which the sun turns from
the Tropic of Capricorn. In Tamil Nadu it is celebrated as
Pongal festival, marking a good harvest. Pongal literally
means “ boiling over “. As a symbol of plenty, the milk is
allowed to boil over the pot when the rice is cooking.

Surya is revered as the visible God ( Prathyaksha
devata). There has always been a profound relationship
between Surya and man. Surya is said to be the
embodiment of natural and supernatural powers. He
199

symbolises the victory over darkness . This is, in reality
the victory of knowledge over ignorance !

According to mythology, Surya rides on a chariot driven
by seven horses that symbolize the seven colours of
vibgyor – violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and
red. These seven colours are reflected in the rainbow.

Pongal is a three day festival, celebrated specially in
south India. It is considered highly favourable for
auspicious activities. It is also an occasion of great
rejoicing and merry making. The first day is Bhogi‐
pongal when bonfires are lighted. The second day is the
main pongal. This day is dedicated to the Sun‐God. The
ladies of the house boil in milk moong dhal and freshly
harvested rice together. When it just starts boiling, it is
customary to shout together “ pongalo pongal”. Then
the cooking is completed, adding jaggery, spices, ghee
and nuts. This is offered to sun god. It is customary to
enquire
“ Has the milk boiled?" The answer is “ yes, it has
boiled”

The third day is Mattu Pongal or Pongal of the cows. On
this day, cows are worshipped and circumambulated (
known as doing pradakshinam). Their horns are painted
in various colours, and garlands are hung around their
necks. Goddess Parvathi is supposed to be present in
the form of a cow. All devatas are supposed to reside in
the body of Kamadhenu, the mother of all cows. Even to
200

get relief from the problems of Saturn, it is customary to
worship the cow. For progeny and prosperity, the cow is
worshipped respectfully.

Pongal marks the change of the season and is primarily
a harvest festival. India is an agricultural country and
cows and oxen play a vital role in agriculture. That is
why they are worshipped and venerated so much on
that day.

Pongal also symbolises the sharing of things with others.
The new reaped harvest is shared with friends, relatives,
beasts and birds, They all partake of the cooked food
and sweets. This day is called Kanum Pongal. On that
day, early morning, women in South India, offer to
crows and other birds, the pongal and rices in different
colours. This is specially done with a prayer for the
happy, prosperous life of brothers and their families.

Sringeri Sankaracharya has said
Surya is fond of receiving namaskarams. That is why
there has been an age old practice of Surya Namaskara;
It helps to eradicate disease and grant a healthy life.
The following shloka is specially chanted, praying to
Surya for good health and strength of mind.

Japaakusuma sakaas(h)am kaas(h)ya paeyam
mahaadhyuthim
Thamorim sarva paapaghnam praNatho(a)smi
divaakaram
201

I worship Surya called divakara – he has the complxion
of red hibiscus;he is the son of a sage called Kas(h)yapa;
he gives light to the whole world; he removes ignorance
and illumines with the light of knowledge;
He makes man free from all his bad karmas.

Let us all worship the sun and pray for a healthy body
and a brilliant mind.

Thai Krittikai today

Thai Krittikai Festival Today (18th Jan 200

Today is Thai Kritthikai ‐ one of the most auspicious days
in Honour of Lord Skanda (also called Muruga/
Kartikkeya/ Muruga).

Reciting/ listening to Kanda shashti kavacham,
shanmukha kavacham, Kandar Anuboothi, Subramanya
Bhujangam or other devotional works in His Honour will
prove auspicious.

Worship of Lord Skanda will grant valour, intelligence,
and physical felicity. This worship is most beneficial to
those who seek progenic bliss, and for those who are
troubled by enemies/ debts.

If you are unable to chant the hymns referred to earlier,
you may just chant His name throughout the day (like
202

Om Skandaaya namah; Om Murugaa; Om Kumaaraaya
namah: Om Deva Saenaapathayae namah: Om Valli
ManOharaaya namah, etc.).

Each of His names is a potent mantra which however
needs no initiation or formal deekshai! His Grace is
open for all.

Chanting Skandaaya namah gives physical strength.
Chanting Shanmukhaaya namah or Om Shakti Hastaaya
namah or Om Taarakaandakaaya namah gives victory
over enemies.You can chant any of His names as per
your preference.
Chanting Om Skanda Guravae namah gives Wisdom and
Spiritual progress.
Chanting Om Kumaaraaya namah gives progenic bliss.
Chanting Om Valli ManOharaaya namah gives success in
romantic matters and speedy marriage.
Chanting Om Daevasaenaapathayae namah gives
capacity to command others (this will be most useful for
those in management jobs and team leadership
positions).
Chanting Om Agni Janmanae namah burns all sins.
Chanting Om Sundaraaya namah blesses one with
charms and a pleasing countenance.
......The list is endless. I have just given a sample of the
vast treasures that His names hold for us. May Almighty
who manifested in the form of Lord Skanda Bless us all.

203

Blessed be.
Pandit R.DAKSHINAMOORTHI.

Sharp intellect

Chant this mantra to arouse and sharpen the intellect,
especially in the case of dull‐headed children.

Sarvasya buddhiroopena janasya hrudhi samsthithe

To view all women folk as embodiments of
Mother

Vidyaa samasthaasthava devi bhedhaa
sthriyah samasthaa sakalaa jagathsu
twayaikaya pooritham ambayaithath

their senses on seeing women, due to too much
influence of TV, movies whatever.

Stotra to ward of evil effects of Saturn

It is believed that When Saturn dauring Ezharai sani
period(Sade sathi) and when it is in the eighth from
moon , it causes lot of harm. Here is a special sloka to
be recited on Saturdays to ward of these problems:‐
Shani Vajra Panjarika Stotram
(The thunderbolt armour of Saturn)
(Saturn, the slow moving planet takes 30 years to
complete the perambulation of the Sun. He is supposed
to be the son of Chaya Devi (Shadow) and the son God.
The God of death Yama is his half brother. He takes 30
months to cross one rasi(one by twelfth of the journey),
It is believed that when he occupies the twelfth house ,
first house, second house from moon(called sade sathi
or seven and a half year sojourn) or occupies the twelfth
house from moon, he causes untold and extreme
misery. This great prayer occurring in the Brahmanda
Purana is believed to be the best possible antidote for
such a situation.)

Neelambaro, Nelavapu, kireeti,
Grdhra sthitha, sthrasakaro , dhanushman,
Chathurbhuja, suryasutha, prasanna,
Sada mama syadwaradha prasantha. 1

Oh god dressed in blue silk, who has a blue body,
Who wears a crown, who sits on vulture,
213

Who gives misfortunes, who is armed with a bow,
Who has four hands and who is son of Sun God,
Be pleased with me always and happily grant me boons.

Brahmo Uvacha:‐
Brahma told:‐

Srunu dwam rishaya , Sarva sani peeda haram mahath,
Kavacham Sani Rajasya Soureridhamanuthamam. 2

Be pleased to hear oh sage, the great armour,
Which is a cure to all misery brought by king Sani,
Who is the incomparably great in the clan of the Sun.

Kavacham devatha vasam vajra panjara samgnakam,
SAnaishara preethikaram, sarva soubhagya dhayagam. 3

This armour called “thunderbolt shield” in which gods
live ,
Is very dear to the slow moving planet, and brings all
luck.

Om Sri Sanaischara, pathu bhalam may Soorya nandana,
Nethre Chayathmaja pathu, pathu karnou Yamanuja. 4

Om , Oh God Saturn, let the son of Sun protect my
forehead,
Let the darling son of Chaya protect my eyes,
Lat my ears be protected by the brother of Yama.

214

Nasam Vaivaswaswatha Pathu, mukham may Bhaskara
sada,
Snigha kandashasch may kandaam , bhujou pathu
Mahabhuja. 5

Let my nose be protected by Sun God,
Let the illuminator always protect my face,
Let he with a pleasant voice protect my voice ,
And let the great armed God protect my arms.

Skandhou pathu sanischaiva, karou pathu shubha
pradha,
Vaksha pathu Yama bhratha, kukshim paathvasitha
sthadha. 6

Let my shoulders be protected by Sani,
Let my hands be protected by he who does good,
Let the brother of Yama protect my chest,
And the one who is dark in colour protect my navel.

Nabhim grahpathi pathu, manda pathu kateem thadha,
OOru mamanthaka pathu , yamo januyugam thadha. 7

Let my stomach be protected by the lord of all planets,
Let the slow mover protect my hips,
Let he who makes end protect my thighs,
And let Yama protect my pair of knees.

Padou Manda gathi pathu, sarvangam pathu pippala,
Angopangani sarvani rakshen may Surya nandana. 8
215

Let my legs be protected by him with slow speed,
Let all my organs be protected by he who wears the
coat,
And all my primary and secondary organs ,
Be protected by the darling sin of the Sun God.

Ithyethath kavacham divyam padeth soorya suthasya
ya,
Na thaasya jayathe peeda , preetho bhavathi sooryaja. 9

If this armour of the son of the Sun God is read,
No misery will come to him and,
The son of Sun God would be pleased with him.

Vyayay janma dwitheeyastho, mruthyu sthana gatrhopi
va,
Kalathrastho gatho vapi supreethasthu sada sani. 10

Whether Saturn occupies the twelfth , first or second
house,
Or even goes to the house of death or occupies the
seventh star,
Saturn will always be pleased with him.

Ashtamastha soorya suthe vyaye, janma dwitheeyage,
Kavacham padathe nithyam, na peeda jayathe kwachith.
11

If the son of Sun God is in eighth, twelfth, first or second
216

house,
Daily reading this Kavacham , no misery would ever be
caused.

Ithyedath kavacham divyam saureya nirmitham pura,
Dwadasahtama janmastha doshan nasayathe sada.,
Janma lagna sthithaan doshan sarvan nasayathe Prabhu.
12

This holy divine armour composed by Sun in ancient
times,
Would destroy the ills caused by eighth ,twelfth, first
and second house,
And also destroy the bad effects of Saturn occupying
the Lagna rasi(Ascendent)

Ithi Sri Brahmanda Purane Brahma Narada Samvade,
Sani Vajra panjara kavacham sampoornam,

Thus ends the thunderbolt armour of Saturn,
Occuring in the discussion between Brahma and sage
Narada,

Shloka for ugaadi
We use to chant this shloka on ugaadi when my dad
would give the BEVU‐BELLA (a mixture of neem and
jaggery) that denotes life as a mixture of happiness and
sorrow. We would chant the below shloka and eat that
mixture. Here in KL, though i don't get bevu‐bella to eat,
but still I get to experience the bevu‐bella of life. Let us
all pray God that we will be able to take happiness and
sorrow in our stride.

" Puja for the goodness of married women , kalasha puja,

puja to cow, puja to elephant , financial help in educating
somebody , helping poor girls to get married , cremating
orphaned dead bodies"
By doing even one of these, the person gets the fruit of
223

doing aswamedha yaga ,
which was done by king yudhishtra in mahabharata to
obtain blessings of the Gods.
In this era , it is absolutely impossible for us even to
think of doing such great yaagas. So ancient seers have
shown us certain easy, definite paths to obtain the
blessings of god and to obtain good life. So let all of us ,
who are financially well-off spend atleast small amount
of money to the needy and poor!
