To get free.

That Purusha with endless devotion,

Who chants a thousand names,

Of He who is the lord of the Universe,

Daily without break,

And Him, who presides over the universe,

Would lose without fail,

Chanting the praises,

Worshipping and singing,

Of those who live in this world,

Who is the master of the universe,

Who is the truth among all those who have life,

And who decides the life of all living,

Which wash away all sins,

Of Him who is purest of the pure,

Of That which is holiest of holies,

Of Him who is God among Gods,

Of That father who lives Without death,

Among all that lives in this world,

Of Him whom all the souls,

Were born at the start of the world,

Of Him in whom, all that lives,

Will disappear at the end of the world,

And of that the chief of all this world,

Who bears the burden of this world?.


I would teach you without fail,

Of those names with fame.

Which deal of His qualities great,

And which the sages sing,

So those beings of this wide world,

Become happy and great.

Sri Dakshinamurthy Stotram with Lyrics https://youtu.be/F-l94K5XLK8 Sri Dakshinamurthy Stotram by Adi Sankara Bhagawat Pada   Adhi Sankara has written very many great Stotras (prayers) but here is a unique prayer, which is not only a prayer but the summary of all the philosophy that he has taught. Even during his time, this stotra was difficult to comprehend and it became necessary for one of his disciples, Sureshwaracharya to write a commentary called Manasollasa to this stotra. There is a large number of books and commentaries on this commentary itself. Mouna Vyakhya prakatitha, para, Brahma thathwam yuvanam, Varshishtha anthevasad rishiganai, Ravrutham brahma nishtai, Acharyendram kara kalihtha chin, Mudram ananda roopam, Swathmaramam mudhitha vadanam, Dakshinamurthim eede. I praise and salute that Dakshinamrthy, Who faces the south, Who explains the true nature of the supreme Brahman, Through his state of silence, Who is young in looks, Who is surrounded by discip...

Shyamala Dandakam

  Shyamala Dandakam with Lyrics      https://youtu.be/JlKVhtI8Eok Shyamala Dandakam Lyrics in English with Meaning: Kalidasa was one of the great Sanskrit poets. He wrote many great dramas like Shakunthalam and great epics like Kumara Sambhavam, Malavikagni mithram, the message poetry called Megha Sandesham, etc. He is extremely famous for the use of appropriate similes and metaphors. Shyamala Dandakam is perhaps the greatest stotra written by him eulogizing the mother goddess Shyamala. He has employed a poetic style called Dandakam in writing this prayer. Dandakam is that poetry where some of the lines have more than 26 syllables. It very much resembles prose. In this case, the entire Dandakam is a single sentence from start to the end. I have attempted to retain the same style There is a folk story about how he came about to write this stotra. He was a foolish woodcutter who was made to act wise by the courtiers of a proud princess and thus convinced the princess t...
