Lalita Sahasranama Stotram
Lalita sahasranama is a sacred Hindu text for the worshippers of the Goddess Lalita Devi, i.e. the Divine Mother, in the form of her and the male gods' feminine power, Shakti. Lalita is the Goddess of bliss, an epithet for Parvati. Etymologically "Lalita" means "She Who Plays". The names are organised as in a hymn, i.e. in the way of stotras. This hymn occurs in the Brahmanda Purana. It is a dialogue between Hayagriva, a minor incarnation (avatara) of Vishnu and the great sage Agastya. The Lalita Sahasranama is held as a sacred text for the worship of the Divine Mother, Lalita (and is also used in the worship of Durga, Kali, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Bhagavathi, etc.. It is a principal text of Shakti worshippers. Lalita Sahasranama names the various attributes of the Divine Mother, and all these names are organised in the form of a hymn. This Sahasranama is used in various modes for the worship of the Divine Mother. Some of the modes of worship are parayana (Recitations), archana, homa etc. Lalita Sahasranama is famous for the internal organization of its text and the rhythmic sound vibrations associated with its verbal audio recitation that its rendering can produce. Usually, in a sahasranama, if the same name repeats, the commentators use their scholarship and inspiration to give different meanings to different occurrences of the same name. Lalita sahasranma has the unique distinction, among all the sahasranamas, of not repeating even a single name. Further, in order to maintain the metre, sahasranamas use the artifice of adding words like tu, api, ca, and hi, which are only conjunctions not necessarily needed for the meaning except in rare cases of interpretation. Lalita sahasranama has again the unique distinction of not having even a single such innocuous word in its texture. Every letter and word of the Lalita Sahasranamam is protected from interpolation, mutilation etc. through axioms called CHALARNA SUTRAS or PARIBHASHA SUTRAS in a manner similar to as the Vedas are protected through various methods like - padam, kramam, ghanam etc. The pronunciation of individual words is to be done with care to ensure that there is no distortions in the meaning of the words. The whole hymn is a string of Mantras with hidden esoteric meanings. The sahasranama is an esoteric text and many meanings are attributable to each of these names; as many as sixteen meanings are known to be applicble for some names. Extensive commenteries have been written on the Lalita Saharanamam and a notable translation of an authentic commentary is "Lalita-Sahasranama with Bhaskararaya's Commentary "(Translated Into English) By: R. Ananthakrishna Sastry Published by The Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, Chennai. and another by Dr. C Suryanarayana murthy published by Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai. Simply chanting Lalita Sahasranama as a daily practice is intended to give relief and create a mind free of tensions, devoted to other living beings in the world, inculcate sincere love, unity, progressing to see divinity in all fellow beings and overcome hatred and animosity towards our enemies. Among the many hymns, mantras and devotional songs available, the Lalita Sahasranama is specially suitable for worship at all times and also at particular times like morning, evening or night. The Sahasranama is to be chanted in Sanskrit to obtain full benefits of its the rhythmic sound vibrations and with a conemplation on the meaning of each nama alongside with the recitation to obtain desired benefits. While Sahasranamas giving material well-being and salvation are prescribed for all castes and in all stages of life, Lalita Sahasranama is generally prescribed for all for obtaining Divine grace for fulfilment of human desires. It is recommended that the Sahasranamama be chanted a number of times every daily or at least once every day or at least on important occasions like, during the summer and winter solstices, on Birth one's own, one's spouse's, and one's children's birthdays, on Navami (the 9th or 14th day of the bright fortnight), and on Fridays, and all auspicious occasions. This Sahasranama may be recited especially on the Purnammi(Full-Moon) Day, as one meditates upon Mother Lalita as seated within the disc of the Moon Prayoga and Phalasruti detail out the method of worship and the benefits accuring from the worship theron. The phalashruti on Lalita Sahasranama given in a chapter following the Laita Sahasranama in the Brahmanda Purana, Regular chanting of Sree Lalitha Sahasranama will ward off premature death, will provide a long and contended healthy life, will give relief to fever and headache. Through the regular chanting of Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam, the atmosphere will be purified. Each nerve in our body will be invigorated and subtle energies will be awakened in the person. It is said that if a person consumes ghee, which is kept while chanting Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam, he will be cured of impotency and will have children This hymn may be recied instead of various expiatory rituals. Devi is believed to protect those who recite this hymn daily from dangers and from attacks by enemies. Daily recitation of the Sahasranama is believed to augment prosperity, eloquence and fame. Recitation on every Friday of a week for prosperity. The Practice of chanting the Sahasranama is open to all and not restricted to any particular denomination or caste or creed who are who have faith and devotion for worship of the Devi There are many Sahasranamas dedicated to Devi including Gangastava, Bhavanistava, Gayatristava, Kalistava, Lakshmistava, Sarasvatistava, Rajarajeshvaristava, Balastava, Syamalastava and Lalitastava. Of these Lalita Sahasranama is held the sacred to Lalita Devi and Shakti Worship.

Sri Mahishasrua Mardini
Mahishasura Mardini Stotram Translated by P.R.Ramachander (This very popular stotra of Goddess Durga is supposed to have been written by Ramakrishna Kavi. Nothing is known about the author. The great Tenali Rama was known as Ramakrishna Kavi and he was a great Bhaktha of Durga. But there are no references to say hat he wrote this great work. Due to its very poetic nature and repetition of words in the same stanza with different nuances, this is extremely difficult to translate. I have used the one incomplete translation available in the web (http://sanskrit.gde.to/doc_devii/mahisha_mean.itx ) as well as the recent great translation by Sri.S.N.Sastry of Madras which has been posted in www.celestel.org.

Discourse on Gayatri
The word "gayatri" refers to three things.
1 - A gayatri is a form of Vedic poetry consisting
of 24 syllables. Many gods have a gayatri specific
to them [some gods have more than one]. These deity
gayatries will be discussed in later files.
2 - The Gayatri mantra [which is what this file will
concern] is, quite possibly, the single most popular
and important mantra in India. It is a hymn to the
Sun and is recited for all purposes.
3 - GayatriDevi ["Devi" means Goddess) is the personifi-
cation on the Gayatri mantra mentioned above. She is
said to be the Shakti* of Brahma and a form of Saraswati.
It is important to note, however, that the Gayatri mantra
is not a mantra go the goddess Gayatri herself.
*Shakti - The Sanskrit word "shakti", directly translated,
means power or strength. On a deeper level, however,
"Shakti" is the feminine force, Devi [I will capitalize
the word when referring to this meaning]. Shakti is the
force behind all action. The movement of my fingers on
the keyboard, of my eyes across the screen, the pulse of
my heart, these are all happening because of Shakti.
Each deva [god] has his complimentary Shakti. While the
two are often personified as husband and wife, they are
actually inseparable parts of the same whole. Without
his Shakti, a deva is powerless, a lifeless corpse.
Conversely, if Shakti has no deva, she/it is unfocused
power, incapable of acting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that I've covered that side note, on to
the Gayatri mantra.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The Gayatrî Mantra is first recorded in the Rig Veda
(iii, 62, 10) which was written in Sanskrit about 2500
to 3500 years ago, and by some reports, the mantra may
have been chanted for many generations before that."
~http://wahiduddin.net/mantra/gayatri.htm
As mentioned above, the Gayatri mantra is a hymn to the
Sun [Surya/Savitri]. It is also known as a mantra of
illumination, both of the spirit and of the intelligence.
Recitation of this mantra is said to aid in reaching
enlightenment and to flood the spirit/aura with pure
light [the energy of the Divine]. It is recommended that
one chant the Gayatri mantra a minimum of three times a
day, followed by "Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti", which
instills the mind with peace and allows the mantra to work
more effectively. The Gayatri mantra is purported to
dispel sorrow and negativity/evil spirits, protect the
person saying it, cure sickness, bring peace, raise
spiritual vibrations, ward off misery, fulfill desires,
bestow blessings, replace "lower" tendencies with more
spiritually enlightened ones, etc. So, as you can see,
the recitation of the Gayatri mantra is recommendable,
even if it is said only three times a day [at least one
full mala in the morning is preferable, but not necessary].

One last thing to look at is the meaning of this mantra.
The two websites above both have translations and there
are many more descriptions of it's meanings, so I'll just
give one of it's basic translations here.
Aum - the sacred sound, the primordial sound of creation/
manifestation.
Bhur - Earth (physical world)
Bhuvaha - Atmospheric region (mental world)
Swaha - Solar region (spiritual world)
Mahaha - the casual/silent mind (also, the heart vibration)
Janaha - the world of creativity (also, the power of the
Divine, spiritual word)
Tapaha - the world of intuition (also, realm of highest
spiritual understanding)
Satyam - the world of the Absolute, that which is beyond
human comprehension.
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhemahi
Diyo Yonah Prachodayat - We meditate upon the radiant Divine
Light of that adorable Sun of
Spiritual Consciousness; May it
awaken our intuitional consciousness.
(S. Krishnamurthy)
Ok, so, now that you have a basic understanding of
the mantra, what IS it?
Well, this, too, varies. There are three different
forms of the mantra that I have come across, but I
have never found one to be any better than the other.
I will present all three here and let you decide
which one is best for you.
The variations concern the invocation which is said
before the actual gayatri [lowercase 'g', signifying
the form of poetry] is said. There is a long form,
a short form, and a form that blurs the invocation
with the mantra itself. They are as follows:
1)
Aum Bhur
Aum Bhuvaha
Aum Swaha
Aum Mahaha
Aum Janaha
Aum Tapaha
Aum Satyam
Aum Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhemahi
Diyo Yonah Prachodayat
2)
Aum Bhur Bhuvaha Swaha
Aum Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhemahi
Diyo Yonah Prachodayat
3)
Aum Bhur Bhuvah Swaha
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhemahi
Diyo Yonah Prachodayat
Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti
For Peace
Om sarve santu sukhinaha May all beings know contentment Om shantih shantih shantihi Om - peace – peace - peace
Durga Chalisa
Durga Chalisa Durga Chalisa Namo Namo Durge Sukh karani, Namo Namo ambe Dukh harani. Nirakar hai jyoti tumhari, Tihun lok pheli ujayari. Shashi lalat mukh mahavishala, Netra lal bhrikutee vikarala. Roop Matu ko adhika suhave, Daras karat jan ati sukh pave. Tum sansar shakti laya kina, Palan hetu anna dhan dina. Annapurna hui jag pala, Tumhi adi sundari Bala. Pralaya kala sab nashan hari, Tum gauri Shiv-Shankar pyari. Shiv yogi tumhre guna gaven, Brahma Vishnu tumhen nit dhyaven. Roop Saraswati ko tum dhara, De subuddhi rishi munina ubara. Dharyo roop Narsimha ko amba, Pragat bhayin phar kar khamba. Raksha kari Prahlaad bachayo, Hiranakush ko swarga pathayo. Lakshmi roop dharo jag mahin, Shree Narayan anga samihahin. Ksheer sindhu men karat vilasa, Daya Sindhu, deeje man asa. Hingalaja men tumhin Bhavani, Mahima amit na jet bakhani. Matangi Dhoomavati Mata, Bhuvneshwari bagala sukhdata. Shree Bhairav lara jog tarani, Chhinna Bhala bhav dukh nivarani. Kehari Vahan soh Bhavani, Langur Veer Chalat agavani. Kar men khappar khadag viraje, Jako dekh kal dan bhaje. Sohe astra aur trishoola, Jase uthata shatru hiya shoola. Nagarkot men tumhi virajat, Tihun lok men danka bajat. Shumbhu Nishumbhu Danuja tum mare, Rakta-beeja shankhan samhare. Mahishasur nripa ati abhimani, Jehi agha bhar mahi akulani. Roop karal Kalika dhara, Sen Sahita tum tin samhara. Pan garha Santan par jab jab, Bhayi sahaya Matu tum tab tab. Amarpuni aru basava loka, Tava Mahirna sab rahen asoka. Jwala men hai jyoti tumhari, Tumhen sada poojen nar nari. Prem bhakti se Jo yash gave, Dukh-daridra nikat nahin ave. Dhyave tumhen jo nar man laee, Janam-maran tako chuti jaee. Jogi sur-muni kahat pukari, Jog na ho bin shakti tumhari. Shankar Aacharaj tap keenhon, Kam, krodha jeet sab leenhon. Nisidin dhyan dharo Shankar ko, Kahu kal nahini sumiro tum ko. Shakti roop ko maran na payo, Shakti gayi tab man pachitayo. Sharnagat hui keerti bakhani, Jai jai jai Jagdamb Bhavani. Bhayi prasanna Aadi Jagdamba, Dayi shakti nahin keen vilamba. Mokon Matu kashta ati ghero, Tum bin kaun hare dukh mero. Aasha trishna nipat sataven, Moh madadik sab binsaven. Shatru nash keeje Maharani, Sumiron ekachita tumhen Bhavani. Karo kripa Hey Matu dayala, Riddhi-Siddhi de karahu nihala. Jab lagi jiyoon daya phal paoon, Tumhro yash men sada sunaoon. Durga Chalisa jo gave, Sab sukh bhog parampad pave. Translation of Durga Chalisa in English I bow to You O Goddess Durga, the bestower of happiness! I bow to You O Goddess Amba, who Ends all miseries. The radiance of your light is limitless and all pervading and all the three realms (Earth, Heaven And the Nether World) are enlightened by Thee. Your face is like the moon and mouth very huge. Your eyes shine with a red glow and You have a Frightening frown. O Mother! Your look is enchanting, the very sight of which ensures welfare of the devout. All the powers of the World repose in Thee and it is You who provide food and wealth for the World's survival. Like the feeding Mother Annapoorna, You nurture the whole universe and You are the one Who appear like the timeless Bala Sundari (young girl of extreme beauty). At the time of dissolution, it is You, O Mother, who destroys everything. You are the beloved Consort of Lord Shiva, Gauri (Parvati). Lord Shiva and all yogis always chant your praise Brahma, Vishnu and all other Gods ever meditate on You. You appear in the form of Goddess Saraswati too, to grant wisdom to the sages and thus ensure their Welfare. O Mother Amba! It was You who appeared in the form of Narsimha, sundering the pillar. Thus You saved Prahlad and Hiranyakashyap also went to Heaven as he was killed by your Hands. In the form of Goddess Lakshmi, O Mother, you appear in this world and repose by the side of Shree Narayan. Dwelling in the ocean of milk, O Goddess, with Lord Vishnu, please fulfill my desires. O Bhavani, the famous Goddess of Hingalaja is no one else but You Yourself. Illimitable is your Glory, defying description. You are yourself Matangi and Dhoomavati Mata. It is You who appear as Bhuvaneshwari and Bagalamukhi Devi to bestow happiness to all. It is You who redeem the wolrd, appearing in the form of Shree Bhairavi, Taradevi and Chhinnamasta Devi, and end its sorrows. Reposing gracefully uopn your vehicle, O Goddess Bhavani, You are welcome by the brave Langour (Lord Hanuman). When You appear in the form of Goddess Kali, with sword in one hand and a cupel in the other, Even Time flees in panic. Beholding You, well armed, with a Trident in your hand, the enemy's heart aches with the sting Of fear. You also repose in the form of Devi at Nagarkot in Kangara. Thus all the three realms shudder in the might of your glory. You slayed the demons like Shumbh & Nishumb and massacred the thousand forms of the dreaded Demon Raktabeej. When the earth was severely distressed bearing the load of the sins of the arrogant Mahishasur. You assumed the dreadful form of Goddess Kali and massacred him along with his army. Thus, whenever the noble saints were distressed, it is You O Mother, who came to their rescue. All the realms including the Amarpuri (divine realm) remain sorrow-less and happy by Your Grace. O Goddess! It is the symbol of Your glory that is burning brightly at Shree JwalaJi. All me and women Ever worship You, O Mother! He who sings Your glory with devotion, love, and sincerity remains beyond the reach of grief And poverty. He who meditates upon Your form with concentration goes beyond the cycle of births and deaths. All the yogis, gods and sages openly declare that without your favour one can't establish communion with God. Shankaracharya had performed once a special penance called Aacharaj and by virtue of which he had subdued his anger and desire. He ever worshipped Lord Shankar and never for a moment concentrated his mind on You. Since He did not realise your immense glory, all His powers waned and then He repented hitherto. Then He sought refuge in You, chanted Your glory and 'victory, victory, victory to Thee, O Jagadamba Bhavani'. Then, O Primal Goddess Jagadamba Ji, You were propitiated and in no time You bestowed Him with his lost powers. O Mother! Severe afflictions distress me and no one except Your Honoured Self can provide relief please end my afflictions. Hopes and longings ever torture me. All sorts of passions and lust ever torment my heart. O Goddess Bhavani! I meditate only upon you Please kill my enemies O Queen! O Merciful Mother! Show me your favour and make me feel happy by bestowing me with all sorts of riches and powers. O Mother! May I be receptable of Your grace as long as I live, ever recounting the feats of Your Glory to all. This way, whoever sings this Durga Chalisa shall ever enjoy all sorts of pleasures and shall attain the highest state in the end.
Devyapadhakshampana Stotram
Devyapadhakshamapana Stotram Na mantram no yantram thadapi cha na jane sthuthimaho, Na chahwanam dhyanam thadapi cha na jane sthuthi kadha, Na jane mudrasthe thadapi na jane vilapanam, Param jane matha thwadanusaranam klesa haranam. 1 Neither I know mantra nor thanthra nor your praise, Neither I know how to call you, nor meditate nor praise you, Neither I know mudras nor how to cry to you, But I know that by obeying you, I would get rid of all problems. Vidhera gnanena dravina virahena alasathaya, Vidheyasakya thaw thava charanayor yachyathirabhooth, Hadethath kshanthavyam anani sa kalodharini shive, Kuputhro jayetha kwachidapi, kumatha na bhavathi. 2 I forgot to salute your feet due to ignorance of rules, Due to having no money, being lazy and inefficient. Oh, mother of all the world and giver of all that is good, It is easy for you to excuse me, For a bad son may be born but there can be no bad mother. Pruthvya puthrasthe janai bahava ssanthi sarala, Param thesham madhye virala tharaloham thava sutha, Madheeyoayam thyagasamuchidamidham, no thava shive, Kuputhro jayetha, kwachidapi kumatha na bhavathi. 3 Oh mother, you have many great sons in this wide world, And in their midst I happen to be retarded and lost, But oh mother, it is not proper for you to leave me out, For a bad son may be born but there can be no bad mother. Jaganmata mathasthava charana sevanarachitha, Nava datham devi dravinamapi bhooyasthava maya, Thadapi thwam sneham mayi nirupamam, Kuputhro jayetha, kwachidapi kumatha na bhavathi. 4 Oh, God of all worlds, Neither have I done service at your feet, Nor have I given in charity immeasurable wealth, But you have to shower your incomparable affection on me, For a bad son may be born but there can be no bad mother. Parithyakthwa devaan vividha vidha sevakulathaya, Maya pancha seetherr adhikam apanithethu vayasi, Idhanim chenmathasthava yadhi krupanapi bhavitha, Niralambo lambodara janani kam yami saranam 5 In this age past fifty, leaving the worship of other devas, Due to several problems of service and worries, I have approached you for your grace. If you do not take mercy on me at this stage, What is the protection for me who is without any support. Chida Basma lepo garala samanam, dik pata dharo, Jadadhari kande bujagapathi hari pasupathi, Kapali bhootheso bajathi jagadeesaika padavim, Bhavani thwad panigrahana paripati phalamidham. 6 That god Pasupathi who applies ash from cremation ground, Who eats poison, who wears no cloths, Who wears a garland of serpent and who has a begging bowl, Who has not washed or combed his hair and who is god of devils, Has attained the position of the Lord of the universe. Is it not Bhavani, because he has married you? Na mokshasyakamksha na cha vibhava vanchapi cha na me, Na vignanapeksha Sasimukhi Sukheschapi na puna, Athasthwam samyache janani jananam yathu mama vai, Mrudani rudrani shiva shiva bhavani japatha. 7 I am not interested in salvation nor in great wealth, I am not interested in knowledge, science or pleasures, Hey mother, I beg of you that I should spend this life, Chanting thy names like Mrudani, Rudrani and Bhavani. Naradhithasi vidhina vividhopacharai, Kim rooksha chintana parair na krutham vachopi, Syame thwameva yadhi kinchanamayyanadhe, Danye krupamuchitham amba param thavaiva. 8 Oh Mother, Syama, I have never worshipped thee, Following the rules laid out for worship, And also I have abused you by using cruel words, And still if you have a little mercy on this orphan, It is because of your graceful and merciful conduct. Jagadamba, vichithramathra kim, Paripoorna karunasthi chenmayi, Aparadha parampara vrutham, Nahi matha samupekshathe sutham. 9 Hey mother of the world, Why is it surprising that you, Have lot of mercy on me, For no mother neglects her son, Even if he has done several mistakes. Mathsama pathaki Nasthi, Papagni thathsama nahi , Evam gnathwa maha devi, Yadayogyam thadha kuru. 10 There is no sinner like me, Nor is there anyone like you, Who can pardon all these great sins, Oh goddess great, understand these both, And do whatever you think is fit. ~Adi Shankaracharya
