Sri Rama Sthuthi by Lord Mahadeva – Lyrics and meanings

|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||

|| Shankara ||

I shall prostrate before Lord Rama who is powerful, he has blue complexion resembles to Neelothpala/blue Lilly, he is decked in majestic crown and various flower garlands and precious ornaments and armlets, he is seated in a grand throne spreading luster all over.  You have no beginning or end; you are the creator and preserver of all the living beings in the Universe without being a part of it but taking immense pleasure in it, you have assumed various forms of Suras and humans which are full of virtues in order to make your devotees extremely blissful. You have created the Universe and became a predominant part of it, you have taken command over the same and serpents too, you have assumed several forms like Surya, wind, moon, rain etc… in order to flourish the Universe, you dwells in the form of fire inside the body and absorb all those consumed, you rule the Universe with the assistance of five types of air, you represent the luster of moon, sun and fire, that provides courage and valor in the living beings, you symbolizes Lord Bhrama, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva as well, you represent Time and Karma, Surya and Chandhra as well, in this way your eternal presence exists in the Universe and it is  considered as absolute Bhramam, you have incarnated as divine fish, you are the personification of Shruthi and Purana, you are supreme being and all pervading, I could witness your eternal presence in everything.  There is nothing exists without your constant presence in this Universe and you are all pervading, it is difficult to understand for the people about the supremacy of you because of the curtain of illusion, virtuous people will  realize the absolute truth of you as Paramathma with the devotion, dedication and various selfless services, Lord Bhrama who  imparts knowledge is not aware your supreme nature, intellectuals who are devoted to this divine form would get rid of all the sorrows and grief, ultimately liberates from the repeated births.  I am extremely pleased to eulogize your glories; I am residing in the sacred city of Kashi along with Goddess Sri Bhavani, I shall impart the sacred chant ‘Rama’ to the virtuous people who leave their mortal coil.

Whoever recites or listens or writes these glorious verses on regular basis with utmost faith and devotion would attain all the happiness in life, ultimately reach your lotus feet with your eternal grace.

Bhagavan Sri Balamukunda said “ Oh!

Vipra, construct a Shiva shrine along with a pond named after Markandeya on the north of the shrine, whoever takes sacred bath in this pond would get relieved from all the sins.”
