• OM PAARTHAAYA PRATHIBODHITHAAM BHAGAVATHA NARAYANE’NA SWAYAM, VYAASE’NA GRATHITHAAM PURANA MUNINA MADHYE’ MAHAABHAARATHAM, ADVAITHAAMRITHAVARSHINEEM BHAGAVATHEEM ASHTAADASAADHYAAYINEEM AMBA, THWAAM ANUSANDADHAAMY BHAGAVAD GEETHE’, BHAVADWE’SHINEEM.

• Imparted to Arjuna by Lord Narayana Himself, spread over 18 chapters in the middle of Mahabharatha, written by the ancient sage Vyasa, & raining the nectar of Advaita, O Blessed Mother, Bhagavad Gita, I meditate on Thee.


2. NAMO ASTHU THE’ VYAASA, VISAALABUDHE’, PHULLARAVINDAAYATHAPATHRANE’THRA YE’NA THWAYA BHAARATHATHAILAPOORNAH PRAJWAALITHO JNAANAMAYAH PRADEEPAH.

SALUTATIONS TO THEE, O VYAASA OF MIGHTY INTELLECT. THOU WHOSE EYES ARE LARGE LIKE THE PETALS OF A FULL-BLOWN LOTUS! IT WAS THOU WHO LIT THE LAMP OF WISDOM WHICH BRIMS WITH THE OIL THAT IS MAHAABHAARATHA.


3. PRAPANNAPAARIJAATHAAYA THOTHRAVE’THRYVAPAANAYE, JNAANAMUDRAAYA KRISHNAAYA GEETHAAMRITHA DUHE’ NAMAH.SALUTATIONS TO THEE, KRISHNA, WHO ART A VERITABLE WISH-YIELDING TREE TO ALL WHO SURRENDER, WHOSE ONE HAND HOLDS A CANE TO DRIVE CATTLE WHILE THE OTHER IS HELD IN THE JNAANAMUDRA (KNOWLEDGE-POSE) & WHO IS THE FAMOUS MILKER OF THE NECTARINE MILK THAT IS THE BHAGAVAD GITA


4. SARVOPANISHADO GAAVO DOGDHAA GOPAALANANDANA, PAARTHO VATHSA SUDHEERBHOKTHAA DUGDHAM GEETHA AMRITHAM MAHATH.

ALL THE UPANISHADS ARE THE COWS; THE COWHERD’S SON KRISHNA IS THE MILKER; PAARTHA(Arjuna) IS THE CALF; THE NECTARINE GITA IS THE MILK; AND THE PURE-MINDED ARE ITS DRINKERS.


5. VASUDE’VASUTHAM DE’VAM KAMSA CHAANOORA MARDANAM, DE’VAKI PARAMAANANDAM KRISHNAM VANDE’ JAGADGURUM.I SALUTE LORD KRISHNA, THE SON OF VAASUDE’VA, THE BESTOWER OF SUPREME DELIGHT TO (MOTHER) DE’VAKI, THE DESTROYER OF KAMSA AND CHAANOORA & THE SUPREME TEACHER OF THE WHOLE WORLD

THE BATTLE RIVER OF KURUKSHE’THRA, WITH BHEESHMA & DRONA AS BANKS, JAYADRATHA AS WATER, GANDHAARA PRINCE AS WATER LILY, SALYA AS CROCODILE, KRIPA AS THE CURRENT, KARNA AS THE HIGH WAVE, ASWATHTHAAMA & VIKARNA AS TERRIBLE SHARKS, & DURYODHANA AS THE WHIRLPOOL, WAS CROSSED BY THE PAANDAVAAS WITH THE HELP OF KRISHNA AS THE FERRY-MAN.


7. PAARAASARYAVACHAH SAROJAMAMALAM GEETHAARTH GANDHOTHKATAM, NAANAAKHYAANAKAKE’SARAM HARI KATHA SAMBODHANAABODHITHAM, LOKE’ SAJJANA SHATPADAIRAHARAHAH PE’PEEYAMAANAM MUDA BHOOYAAD BHAARATHAPANKAJAM KALIMALA PRADWAMSI NAH SRE’YASE’.

MAY THE STAINLESS LOTUS OF MAHAABHAARATHA, BORN ON WATERS OF THE WORDS OF VYAASA, SON OF PARAASARA, WHOSE FRAGRANCE IS THE MESSAGE OF GITA, WHOSE STAMEN ARE THE NEMEROUS STORIES OF THE GLORY OF HARI, & WHICH IS SUCKED AGAIN & AGAIN IN GREAT JOY EVERY DAY BY THE HONEY-SUCKERS,-VIRTUOUS PEOPLE-, MAY IT PREVAIL FOR THE GOOD OF ALL WHO WANT TO CLENSE THEMSELVES OFF THE TAINT OF THE AGE OF KALI.


8. MOOKAM KAROTHI VAACHAALAM PANGUM LANGHAYATHE’ GIRIM, YATH KRIPAA THAMAHAM VANDE’ PARAMAANANDA MAADHAVAM.

I SALUTE MAADHAVA (Lord Krishna) , THE SUPREMELY BLISSFUL ONE, BY WHOSE GRACE A DUMB CAN BECOME ELOQUENT, AND A LAME PERSON CAN CROSS OVER MOUNTAINS.


9. YAM BRAHMA VARUNENDRARUDRAMARUTHAH STHUNWANTHI DIVYAIH STHAVAIRVEDAIH SAANGAPADAKRAMOPANISHADAIR GAAYANTHI YAM SAAMAGAH, DYAANAAVASTHITHA THADGATHE’NA MANASAA PASYANTHI YAM YOGINO YASYAANTHUM NA VIDU SURAASURA GANA DE’VAAYA THASMAI NAMAH.

MY SALUTATIONS TO THAT SUPREME BEING, WHOM BRAHMA, VARUNA, INDRA & RUDRA GLORIFY BY DIVINE HYMNS; WHOM SAMAN SINGERS PRAISE BY CHANTING THE VEDA WITH ITS COMPLIMENTARY PARTS, SECTIONS & UPANISHADS; WHOM YOGINS INTUIT WITH MIND IN MEDITATION, & WHOSE LIMIT NEITHER THE DE’VAAS NOR THE ASURAAS KNOW.
