|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||
|| Shankara ||
I shall meditate upon Lord Shambhu who is the consort of Goddess
Sri Uma/Umapathi, he is the preceptor of the deities/Suraguru, he is the cause
of the Universe/Jagathkaranam, I shall meditate upon Lord Shiva who is decked
in venomous serpents as ornaments/Pannagabhooshanam, he is attired in elephant
skin/Mrigadharam, I shall meditate upon Lord Pashupathi/who is the protector of
animals, he has soorya, chandhra and agni as eyes, he is most desirable to Lord
Mukunda/Mukundapriyam, he is the safe haven for the virtuous people and
provider of abundance of boon, he is Shankara/symbol of auspiciousness. Oh!
Maheshwara, I have no safe haven other than you, therefore kindly protect me
with all those compassion, I shall
meditate upon Lord Mahadeva who is the
consort of Goddess Sri Uma, father of Lord Subramanya and preceptor of all the
deities. I shall prostrate before
supreme Lord Rudra who won over Lord Yama/Mruthyunjaya, he has bluish
throat/Neelakanda, he is omnipresent, and he is the elixir of nectar/Amrithesha.
I shall meditate upon Lord Mruthyunjaya, who is seated on the
magnificent gem studded throne under the Kalpavriksha in Mount Kailash, he has
the brilliance of camphor and crystal, and luster of moon, he is venerated by
Goddess Sri Karthyayani, he has attractive matted hair locks which carries the
powerful water current of sacred Ganga, he is the ocean of mercy, he is decked
in King of serpents/Vasuki as ornament around his neck, he is the kala of Lord
Yama. I shall meditate upon Lord Mruthyunjaya,
who is decorated in sacred ashes and Rudraksha all over his body, he carries
deer, trident and Rudraksha, he crushed the pride of Lord Yama with a boisterous
voice ’Hum’, he is decked in venomous
serpents, crescent moon and river Ganga, he is the provider of abundance of
boons to his ardent devotees, he is the
destroyer of enemies and all the illnesses, he is surrounded by the
Bhoothaganas, spirits, Pishachas and serpents.
I shall meditate upon Lord Neelakanda who has bluish throat due to
the presence of dreadful toxin, he has five faces, he has the luster of moon
and glacier, he is Gaurivallabha/darling of Goddess Gauri, he is decked in venomous
serpents as ornaments. I shall meditate
upon Lord Chidambara who is the ocean of mercy/Kripasamudhram, he is charismatic, he has three eyes, he has
attractive matted hair locks, he has Goddess Sri Parvathi on his left side, he
is Sadashiva and Rudra as well, he is
eternal. Oh! Shivashankara, while the
emisseries of Lord Yama torture me with cruel words and imposes severe
punishments during my death bed, Oh! Kalakala, Oh! Bhagavan, I shall earnestly
pray to reside in my heart along with Goddess Sri Parvathi, and protect me from
those hellish tortures. Oh!
Gaurivallabha, who is Kamari/slayer of Lord Kamadeva, he has gracefully
swallowed the deadly toxin, slayer of demons of Thripura and Lord Yama, I shall
earnestly pray to protect us from the world of Samsara.
Oh! Shambho who is the consort of Goddess Sri Parvathi, dwells as
soul/Prana in all living beings, human body represents your sanctum, all those
actions and reactions are equivalent to your worship, sleep is considered as
Samadhi, places I walks around with my legs are Pradhakshina/my humble
prostration before you, each and every words I utter would be your sacred
hymns, ultimately all my actions are my humble offering to you. Oh! Shambho I
shall earnestly pray to kindly bless us with effortless death and graceful living,
foremost of all bless us with firm devotion at your lotus feet. Oh! Neelakanda, I shall earnestly pray to
provide us an opportunity to recite your glorious myths, eulogize your splendor
and veneration of your lotus feet in all our births. I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Shiva,
who is omnipresent, he is the symbol of auspiciousness, he dwells as soul in
all the living beings, ultimately liberates from the repeated births. I shall prostrate before Lord Shiva along
with Goddess Sri Parvathi, who is eternal bliss. Oh! Nandhikesha Oh! Mahabhaga, who imparts
the supreme knowledge and belief in Lord Shiva, I shall request you to grant us
permission to serve Gaurishankara persistently.
