Namaskarams to all .May Adishankara`s Name and teachings guide all of us!

Bhaja -Govindam = Chant the Name of THE CHARMER of cows

moodha - mathe = unwise minded

samprapte- sannihithe - kale =at that crucial time( of leaving the body)

Dukrumkarane = knowledge and scholarship of Sanskrit and other holy books

nahin- nahin -rakshthi =offer " no " , repeat " no " protection.

It is clear ADISHANKAR`S teaching and content is not just Shaivism

It is Vaishnavism as well.

Monism, Refined monism and Dualism are inaccurate translatins by ( I think)

Anne Besant)

OM NAMAH SHIVAAYA =NAMO NAARAAYANAAYA

The fifth day (Panchami) of bright fortnight of 'Vaisaakha'

[Guest guest]

Om Namah Shivaayah!

 

Let us offer this INNER worship written by Adi Jagadguru

Sri Shankaracarya to Lord Shiva on this Auspicious day -

 

" 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 of worship to Lord Shiva

offered by Sri Shankaraacharya -

 

" 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 Radhe!
