Saturn Influence

[Guest guest]

Hi

 

I have an interesting post I wud like to make in contribution to the

influence of Saturn and appeasing Sanideva by getting the mercy of

Lord Nrsimhadev. It is from the website of Stephen Knapp (www.stephen-

knapp.com ). Please post this for all to read and pray to get the

mercy of Lord Nrsimhadev when influenced by Saturn:

Thanking you,

Subadhra Chivers

 

Sri Shanishchara-krita Sri Narasimha Stuti

 

 

Everyone is afraid of the malefic planet Sani (Saturn) because

generally he is associated with extreme sorrow and suffering.

However, Sanideva himself has devised a way of solving this problem

by obtaining the blessings of Lord Nrsimha.

 

Shani made an agreement with the Lord that he would never

trouble those who recite his Nrsimha Stuti when they are facing

troubles related to dvädasa-añstama-païcama (a situation where Sani-

käta lasts for 7 1/2 births)

 

If one recites with devotion Sani's Sri Nrsimha Stuti,

especially on Sanivära (Saturdays) and when Sani graha comes to 12-8-

5 Janma Rsi or 10th AL, one will please the Lord who is the Supersoul

of Shanaishchara and the Lord will remove all obstacles and suffering

and bless His devotee.

Lord Nrsimàhadeva is easily accessible to the devotees and punishes

those who are evil-minded. He is the saviour for those who are

helpless who desire to seek refuge in Him. When the demigods of

innumerable planets bow down to His lotus feet, the bright jewels

from their crowns are reflected on His toenails which gives the

impression that lamps are being waved in front of them. Unto His

lotus feet, Sanideva prostrated and prayed (in the court of Brahmä).

 

Sri Sanir-uväca -

Sri Sani said -

 

By the mercy of the dust of Your lotus feet which destroy a multitude

of sins, grant infinite auspiciousness to Your devotee who always

worships Your lotus feet with devotion. O Lord Nrsimha, please bestow

upon me Your merciful side-long glance.

Your lotus feet are worshipped by Goddess Lakshmi, even though She is

fickle by nature (chanchala) and by Lord Brahmä and Lord Siva whose

feet are worthy of worship with devotion. O Lord Nrsimha, please

bestow upon me Your merciful side-long glance.

By contemplating or meditating upon Your appearance, which is

expounded in the Vedas extensively, the best of the saints are

liberated from the three-fold miseries and from all misfortunes. O

Lord Nrsimha, please bestow upon me Your merciful side-long glance.

By the word of His devotee named Prahläda, Lord Hari, who is generous

and kind, appeared from a pillar and by placing Hiranyakasipu on His

thighs split open his stomach with His nails. O Lord Nrsimha, please

bestow upon me Your merciful side-long glance.

You protected your own devotee Prahläda from a raging fire, the deep

ocean, from falling from a tall mountain peak, poison, a mad elephant

and the fangs of poisonous serpents. You are omnipresent and

supremely generous. O Lord Nrsimha, please bestow upon me Your

merciful side-long glance.

By meditating upon He whose great form is devoid of imperfections,

materialistic attachments and obtained unmitigated salvation. O Lord

Nrsimha, please bestow upon me Your merciful side-long glance.

By meditating upon He whose form is fearsome, all peace, happiness

and prosperity can be obtained, all sins can be obliterated, the fear

arising from evil spirits, fevers and unfavorable planetary positions

can be removed, O Lord Nrsimha, please bestow upon me Your merciful

side-long glance.

Your transcendental fame is sung gloriously in all the divine

assemblies of Shiva, Brahmä and Indra, etc. and whose power is

steadfast in wiping out all impurities, O Lord Nrsimha, please bestow

upon me Your merciful side-long glance.

 

evam srutvä stutim devah

 

saninäm kalpitämà harih |

 

uväca brahma vrndasta

 

sanim tam bhakta-vatsalah ||10||

 

On listening to the heartfelt prayer composed by Sanideva in the

assembly of Lord Brahmä, Lord Hari who is ever compassionate to His

devotees, spoke to Sanideva as follows.

 

Sri nrsimha uväca -

 

prasannoham sane tubhyam |

 

varam varaya sobhanam ||

 

yam vänchasi tameva tvam |

 

sarva-loka hitävaham ||11||

 

Sri Nrsimha said – O Sani, I am pleased with your devotion. What ever

you desire that will benefit the world, ask for that kind of boon and

I will grant it.

 

Sri Sanir uväca -

 

nrsimha tvam mayi krpäm

 

kuru deva dayä-nidhe |

 

mad väsaras tava priti-

 

kara syat devatä-pate ||12||

 

 

 

mat krtam tvat param stotram

 

srnvanti ca patanti ca |

 

sarvän käman pürayetäs

 

tesäm tvam loka-bhävanah ||13||

 

SrI Sanideva replied – O Lord Nrsimha, O reservoir of compassion,

please be kind to me. O Lord of all gods, let my week-day (Saturday)

be Your favorite day. O Purifier of all the worlds, may You fulfill

the desires of all those who listen to or read this great prayer to

You composed by me. "

 

Sri nrsimha uväca -

 

tataivästu saneham vai

 

rakso-bhuvana samsthitah |

 

bhakta kämän pürayisye

 

tvam mamaika vacah srinu ||

 

tvat kritam mat param stotram

 

yah patecchrinu yäccha yah |

 

dvädasastama janmastäd

 

bhayam mästu tasya vai ||14||

 

Sri Nrsimha said – O Sani, let it be so! By virtue of My being the

universal protector (raksobhuvana), I fulfill the desires of all My

devotees. Please listen to My words - let there be no fear of the

twelfth and eighth birth positions (and implicitly any unfavorable

birth positions) and consequent troubles from you for any one who

reads or listens to this prayer to Me composed by you.

 

Sani naraharim devam

 

tateti pratyuväca ha

 

tatah parama-samtusto

 

jayeti munayovadan ||15||

 

Then Sanideva replied to Lord Narahari that he would follow the

Lord's instructions. Then the joyful saints and sages present there

(in Brahma's assembly) responded with cries of, `jaya, jaya!' " .

 

Sri krsna uväca -

 

itam sanaiscarasyäta nrsimha deva |

 

samvädam etat stavanam ca mänavah ||

 

srinoti yahù srävayate ca bhaktyä

 

sarvänyäbhistäni ca vindate dhruvam ||16||

 

Sri Krishna told Dharmaräja, " Whoever listens to or recites this

conversation between Sanideva and Lord Nrisimha in the form of this

prayer of devotion will definitely have all desires fulfilled and

will always rejoice. "

 

iti Sri bhavisyottara puräne raksobhuvana mahätme sri

 

Sanaiscara krta Sri nrsimha stuti sampürnam

 

Thus ends the prayers offered from the Bhavisyoattara Purana to the

universal protector Sri Nrisimha by the great soul Sani.
