THE JIVAN-MUKTA

[Guest guest]

SAUNDARYA LAHARI of Sri Sankaracharya 27. The attitude of devotees of high

spiritual attainment,the Jivan-muktas, is described in this verse : Japo jalpah

silpam sakalam api mudra-viracana gatih pradaksinya-kramanam asanady'

ahurti-vidhih; pranamah samvesah sukham akilam atmarpana-drsa saparya-paryayas

tava bhavatu yan me vilasitam. May everything that I do with the sense of

Self-dedication be items in Thy service--my prattle, the utterance of Thy

Mantra; the movements of my hand, the gestures and poses of Thy worship; my

walking, Thy circumabulation; my eating, fire-sacrifice to Thee; the stretching

of the body in sleep and rest, prostration to Thee; and all my enjoyments,

offerings made to Thee. Satchitananda Kathy

 

 

 

 

The New Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.

Om Namah Shivayah!

 

This INNER worship -'Shiva Manasa Puja' has been offered by Adi

Jagadguru Sri Shankaracarya Bhagavatpada to Lord Shiva -

 

"I worship the PRECIOUS JEWEL (Lord) of MYSELF,

the Shiva residing in the LOTUS of my HEART.

I BATHE Him with the waters of my PURE MIND brought

from the RIVER of Faith and DEVOTION.

I worship Him with the fragrant Flowers of

Contemplation and Samadhi -

ALL this humble offering may release my soul

from the bondage to the material world and

I may not be born again in this world."

 

Another sincere Prayer worship offered by the Saint to Lord Shiva -

 

"O Lord Shiva!

My Supreme Soul, You are My Own SELF!

My MIND is Your BELOVED Devi Parvati!

My PRANAS (Life BREATH) are Your SERVANTS!

My BODY is Your RESIDENCE!

My ACTIONS in this world are Your Sacred Worship!

My SLEEP is Your CONTEMPLATIVE SAMADHI (Trance)!

My wakeful WALK on this earth is CIRCUMAMBULTION to YOU!

My SPEECH is YOUR PRAYER!

 

Thus do I OFFER and SACRIFICE ALL that I AM TO YOU ALONE!!!"

 

Jaya, Jaya Sri Radhey!
