|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||
Oh! Supreme
Lord Shiva! Conqueror of Lord Yama, I earnestly pray to bestow me with the
qualities like Dhyanam/meditation, Shravanam/listen, Chant your holy names,
Pradhakshina/circumambulation, Namaskaram/prostration, performance of daily
rituals and efficient Panchedriyas/ears, eyes, mind, tongue, hands and legs to
perform all the above duties with utmost devotion and dedication. Oh! Lord Mruthyunjaya, command me to
do the above and show me the righteous path.
Oh! Supreme
Lord Shiva, who is inseparable from Goddess Sri Parvati, I earnestly pray to
reside in the fortress of my heart, righteousness as its protective moat,
valorous as its wall, numerous virtues as its army, perfect sense organs as its
doors, eternal wisdom and knowledge as materials.
Oh! Lord of
Mount Kailash, I earnestly pray to reside in my heart which is like woodland
full of innumerable wild animals like ego, jealous, pride and endless
desires. Oh! Lord Adi
Kiratha/Primeval hunter, hunt down all those immoral qualities in me and take
pleasure in that amusing hunt.
Oh! Supreme
Lord Shiva, who has five faces and white complexioned enchanting body, carrying
illusion/deer in his hand, slayer of Gajasura and Vygrasura dwells in Mount
Himalaya and in my heart as well. Therefore
I have no reason for fear.
Oh! Mind
which is efficiently flying like a bird, stop your aimless roaming and nest
under the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord Shankara, worship the tree which has
branches as Veda and Scriptures as its stem venerated by the Brahmins. In this way, attain the eternal
happiness capable to eradicate all the grief and sorrows, ultimately enjoy the
fruit of ambrosia.
Oh! Mind,
resides in the fortress like lotus feet of Lord Shiva who is the consort of
Goddess Sri Girija, the finger nails are capable to spread greatness of luster,
sparkle with the glorious deposition of nectar, the red lotus feet shines like
rubies, this is the ultimate place where the ascetics finds peace and immense
pleasure, therefore you sport with devotion at your own will.
Oh! mind,
the heart like garden unites with the spring like meditation at the lotus feet
of Supreme Lord Shiva which results in the falling off dried leaves like sins;
numerous creepers like devotion shoot up with abundance of virtues like buds,
Vedic hymns as its flowers and fragrances as qualities, nectar appears in the
flowers as the eternal wisdom and its fruit as the knowledge of Brahma.
Oh! Mind,
why do you wish for invaluable things and wander around, ultimately land in the
puddle? Rest on the lotus feet of Lord Shiva which is the abode of happiness
and eternal peace where deities and Rishis sought for and worshipped by the
Brahmins, capable to eradicate all the sins and provide virtues.
Oh! Lord
Shiva, the creeper of devotion filled with the ambrosia of happiness raised
from the channel around the lotus feet of the Lord, after possessing support
and eventually grows with branches and sub branches, spread through the thatch
of the supercilious mind and cleanses it without sins and cultivates intrinsic
worth. Consequently it
provides me the eternal bliss, the fruit of liberation from the cycles of birth
and death.
I venerate the
image of Lord Mallikarjuna who resides at mount Srigri, who performs the cosmic
dance at the time of Sandhya/beginning of the evening, occupies the summit of
Veda & Upanishad, always affectionate to his consort Goddess Sri
Brahmarambika, elegant with the fragrances of virtues well known, adorned the
venomous serpent as jewels on his body, worshipped by the deities and sages and
remains in the embrace of Goddess Sri Parvati/Sivaa.
