Kaali Kamali orha kea aye, bhakton ke bhagavan re

Teri meri nayi nahi pahichaan re

Kaisa tune roop dikhaaya, tan laharaaya man laharaaya

Binaa haath ke bhojan karata, binaa paavon ke chalta phirata

Sab kuch suntan kuccha nahin kahata, aba dil teri maan re… …

November- Mother Lakshmi

Lakshmi maiya utaaree teri aarti. Barsaado maa kripa

An dhan dene waali tuhi, Tuhi jag ko paale

Dayaa se teri ham sab jeeve, Sab ko tu sambhaale...

Teri bhakti jaagi dil mein, Nishadin karte vandan

Tu hai Shakti parmeshwar ki, Kaato bhav ke bhandan...

Prem kaa deep jalaa ke maiyaa, Aarti teri utaare

Sharan tihaari aaye maiya, Mangal keerat gaaye

VAISHNAVA VANA

Vaishnava Jana To Tene Men Kahiye, Pir Parai Jani Re

Par Upakar Kare Phir Bhi Kyon, Man Abhiman Na Mana Re

The followers of Shri Vishnu are always aware of the pains of others.

They always serve others selflessly and their minds are free from

pride.

Chhor Burai Karo Bhalai, Chhor Parai Ninda

Sakal Char Achar Samajha Barabar, Rahe Dharam Par Zinda Re Bhai

Bhula Jan Kar Kare Na Lalacha, Daya Kare Anjane Re

Give up all evil conduct and perform noble actions. Give up ill speak-

ing others and see goodness in everything movable and immovable.

Always be alive to dharma or religious responsibilities. Knowingly or

unknowingly the followers of God are not greedy. They are always

merciful.

Na Koi Chhota Na Koi Khota, Hari Ke Sabhi Khilaune.

Jisko Man Men Bhed Na Jane, Uske Shyam Salone Re Bhai

Pinjare Chhor Ure Jab Tu Panchi, Kya Apana Begana Re

No one is small and none is defective. We are all God’s playthings .

The beloved Lord, Shri Krishna is always present, in one whose mind

is free from differences. When the bird (atma) leaves the cage (body)

and flies away, who is yours? What really belongs to you?

Jhuta Na Bole Satya Ki Tole, Mithi Boli Bole

Uncha Nicha Ke Bhava Na Rakhe, Man Ki Ankhe Khole Re Bhai

Dhanya Usi Ki Mata Jag Men, Je Hari Ko Pahachane Re

Speak no falsehood, always weigh and know the truth. Speak softly

and sweetly. Recognize that none is high; none is low and open the

mind’s eyes as you journey through life. Blessed indeed is the mother

of that individual who is able to recognize God.

Bajrang Baan Nishchay Prem Pratiti Te, Vinay Karei Sanmaan.

Tehi Ke Kaaraj Sakal Shubh, Siddh Karei Hanuman. Those who admire and worship Lord Hanuman with persistent faith, love and polite humbleness, are blessed

with success in all their effort and activities, by the grace of Lord Hanuman.

Jai Hanumant Santa Hitakaari, Suna Liijay Prabhu Araja Hamari.

Jana kay kaaja vilambana keejay, Aatura dawrii maha Sukha deejay. O Hanumana, the kindhearted patron of all saints! Please listen to my petition. Do no delays in responding to your adherent’s call and come rushing to bless them with felicity and joy.

Jaisay kooda sindhu mahi paara, Sursa badana paithii Vistaara.

Aagay jaiyii Lankinii Rokaa, Maarayhu laata gaii sura Loka. Show such haste in removing sorrow of your devotees, just as you leapt across the ocean leaving the earth

behind and crept into Surasas mouth assuming the form twice as large as that of the Mother of Serpents, all for the sake of Rama. As you proceeded further into Lanka, Lankini tried to stop you on the way, but you

kicked her and dispatched her to the abode of the gods.

Jaayay Vibhishan ko sukha deenha, Sita Nirakhi paramapada Leenhaa .

Baag ujaari Sindhu Maha Borah, Ati Aatura Jama Kaatara Tora. You met Vibhishana and brought him enormous joy, and by finding mother Sita, you attained to the supreme position. You shattered the beautiful garden of Ashoka and drowned it into the sea. You saved the world from

its looming doom (when the gods comforted you in Patala where you were lying in a precarious state). Thus,

you rescued the humanity and earned yourself the blessing of immortality by neutralizing the design of Yama who subdues every being.

Akshaya Kumara mara sanhaara, Loama lapaita anka-ko Jaarah.

Laaha samaan lanka jaari-gai, Jai Jai Dhwani surpur naba Bhai. You overthrew and slaughtered Akshay Kumara, the son of demon Ravana. With your tail swathed with rags soaked in oil and set on fire, you reduced Lanka to ashes. Lanka burnt like shellac. Entire environment of

Heaven, the abode of gods, was reverberating with cries of triumph: "Victory! Victory!”

Aba vilambha kayhi Kaaran Swami, Kripaa Karahhu ura Antaryamii

Jai Jai Lakshmana Praana kay daataa, Aatura hai dukha Karhu Nipaataa. Then, why are you delaying on my request (petition), my Lord? O regulator of my innermost being! Be gra-cious on me. Glory and Victory to you, O Lord Hanumana, who restored Lakshmana back to life! Arrive

promptly and swiftly and wipe out my sorrow. Victory, victory to you, O Giridhara (He lifted up a mountain

and flew with all its foliage to Lanka, where Lakshmana lay fatally wounded)

Jai Jai Hanumanta Jayati bala saagar, Sura Samooha samratha Bhata Naagar.

Om Hanu Hanu Hanu Hanumanta Hateelay, Bhairayhhi Maaru Bajrah-Ki Kee-

lay. Victory, victory to you, O ocean of bliss! You are a synergy of bravery and competence, you are a great

warrior and wise. I venerate the unwavering Son of the Wind, Hanuman, with the chant of "Om hanu hanu

hanu". May you destroy my adversaries with thunderbolt and mace, your adamantine weapon, which, when

hurled, lets no adversary escape.

Om Hrim Hrim Hrim Hanumana Kapisha, Om Hun Hun Hun Hanu Arii Ura

Sheesha.

Jai Anjani Kumara Balawanta, Shankara Suwana Beera Hanumanta. O monkey-king Hanuman! Cry hrim hrim hrim, the mystic syllables and shouting aloud "Om hun, hun, hun"

slash the heads and bosoms of my enemies (or problems). Glory to you, O brave son of Anjani and Shanka-ra!

Badana Karaala kaala kula ghaalaka, Rama sahay sada prati Paalak.

Bhoota preta pisaacha nishachar, aagni vaitaala kaala maari mara. You are the terrifying exterminator even of Death and his descendants, helper of Rama and an ever-ready

guardian of all. As soon as one sets one's mind on You or chantsYour name; ghosts and ghouls spirits, fiends, wanderers of the night, fire goblins, fatality and epidemics, all disappear in an instant (Being so

unmatched in might).

dreds of thousands of desires and absorbed in lust and anger, they secure money by

illegal means for sense gratification.

Triveni Mandir 2014 - Morning Services Booklet

A description of Ayodhya during Shree Raam’s Rule.... Banarasrama nija nija dharama nirata beda patha loga

Calahim sada pavahim sukha nahi bhaya soka na roga

Devoted to duty , the people trod the path of the Vedas, each according to his

caste and stage in life, and enjoyed happiness, unvexed by fear, or sorrow, or

sickness

Daihika daivika bhautika tapa, rama raja nahi kahuhi byapa.

Saba nara karahim parasapara priti, calahim svadharma nirata sruti riti

Nowhere in Rama’s realm could one find a person who suffered from bodily pain,

ill fortune of evil circumstance. All the men and women loved one another, con-

ducted themselves in accordance with righteousness and were devoted to the in-

junctions of the Vedas.

Carihum carana dharma jaga mahim, puri raha sapanehum agha nahim.

Rama bhagati rata nara aru nari, sakala parama gati ke adhikari.

Righteousness with its four pillars (truth, purity, compassion and charity) reigned

throughout the world and no one ever dreamt of sin. Men and women alike, all

earnestly devoted to Rama, were heirs of final beatitude.

Alpa mrytu nahi kavanium pira, saba sumdara saba biruja sarira.

Nahim daridra kou dukhi na dina, nahi kou abudha na laksana hina.

There was no premature death nor suffering of any kind; everyone was comely

and healthy. No one was destitute or sorrowful or miserable; no one was ignorant

or devoid of auspicious marks.

Saba nirdambha dharamarata ghrni, nara aru nari catura saba guni.

Saba gunagya pamdita saba gyani, saba krtagya nahim kapata sayani.

All the men and women were unaffectedly good, pious and upright, clever and

accomplished; all recognized the merits of others, all were learned and wise; all

were grateful for kindness and guilelessly prudent.

Rama raja nabhagesa sunu sacaracara jaga mahim

Kala karma subhava guna krta dukha kahuhi nahim

Lisen, Oh King of Birds; during Rama’s reign there was not a creature in the

world , moving or unmoving, that suffered from any of the ills caused by time, past

action personal temperament or character.

Saba udara saba para upakari, bipara charana sevaka nara nari.

Ekanari brata rata saba jhari, te mana baca krama pati hitakari.

All the men and women were generous and charitable and devoted to the feet of

the Brahmans. Every husband was pledged to a vow of monogamy and each wife

was devoted to her husband in thought and word and deed.

Saba ke grha grha hohim purana, rama caritra pavana bidhi nana,

Nara aru nari rama guna ganahim, karahim divasa nisi jata na janahim.

In every house the puranas were read and the various sacred stories of Rama’s

exploits. Men and women alike joined in hymning Rama’s praises and noticed not

the passing of night and day.

RAMAYAN VERSES 11

Bajrang Baan

Inhain maaro tohe shapaha rama kii, raakhu natha maryaadaa naama ki.

Satya hohu hari shapatha paaya ke, Raama doota dharu maaru Jaiikay. In the name of Rama do I press you to kill them, the demons and all their hordes, and, O Lord, let not the

reputation of the name of Rama be reconciled to anything undignified. Rama's messenger! Having been

guaranteed by Lord Hari that you are immortal and Real-Truth itself-you dash at once and catching hold of my enemies, kill them (without fear).

Jai jai jai Hanumanta agadha, dukha paavat jana kehi aparadha.

Pujaa japa tapa nema achaaraa, nahin jaanata haun daasa tumhaaraa. Glory, glory, all glory to you, O mystical Hanuman! For which offence are your humble devotees sorrow-

ful? Your humble servant doesn’t have enough knowledge to carry out worship and do penance, chant Your name, observe the rules of purity and behavior.

Vana upavana maga giri graha maahiin, tumhare bala hama darapata naahin.

Janaka suta hari daasa kahaavo, taaki shapatha vilamba na laavo. Strengthened (and protected) by You, I dread neither at home nor while passing through thick forests and

parklands and mountains. You are a known devotee of Janaka's daughter, Sita and Lord Hari; I entreat you in the names of both Sita and Hari not to prevaricate and delay in coming.

Jai jai jai dhuni hota akaashaa, sumirata hota dusaha dukha naashaa.

Charana pakar kara jori manaavaun, yahi avasara aba kehi goharaavauni. The heavens reverberate with the sound of "Glory, glory, all glory (to Hanuman)" The very remembrance

of yours destroys even insufferable miseries. I prostrate myself at your feet and with cupped palms invoke your grace; whom else should I call for help in these desperate straits.

Utha Utha Chala Tohi Raama Duhaai, paanya Paraun Kara Jori Manaaii.

Om Chan Chan Chan Chapala Chalantaa, om Hanu Hanu Hanu Hanu Hanu-

mantaa.

Om Han Han Haanka Deta Kapi Chanchala, om San San Sahami Khaldala. You are under oath to Rama to hasten and protect all in distress. I prostrate myself again before you and

with folded hands entreat you to arise and rush in (to kill my enemies). Chanting the sacred "Om chan

chan chan chan", come and deliver me, O entrepid courser! And shouting "Om hanu hanu hanu hanu" slaughter my foes, O Hanuman! When the playful and noble-footedMonkey-king shouts aloud "Om han

han" the demon host is soterrified that it flees crying "Om san san".

Apnaay jaana ko turata ubaaro, Sumirata hoya ananda hamaaroh

Yaha Bajaranga Baan Jehi Maare, tehi Kaho Phira Kauna Ubaare. Immediately lift your devotees from the ocean of sorrows, so that our days of happiness are back. Tell me, who can protect the person who is pierced with Bajaranga's arrow?

Paatha Kare Bajaranga Baan Ki, Hanumanta Rakshaa Kare Praana Kii.

Yaha Bajarang Baan Jo Jaapai, taahe Te Bhuuta Preta Saba Kaanphe.

dhuupa Deii Aru Japai Hameshaa, taake Tana Nahiin Rahai Kaleshaa. He, who chants Bajrang Baan, is well protected by Hanuman. He who repeats this hymn is feared by

spirits and ghouls and all those who chant it regularly with oblations of incense is relieved of all physical infirmities.

Prema priiti dhari kapi bhaje, sadaa dharai ura dhyaana. Tehi ke kaaraja sakala shubha, siddha karai hanumaana. He, who meditates on the Monkey-King with faith and devotion and with his image in his heart, finds all his noble efforts crowned with success by the grace of Hanuman.

Siya var Ramachandra ki jai,

Uma Pati Mahadeo ki jai
