Dharma Prayers 2-7-21

Velandy Manohar, MD

02 07 21

I begin this awesome abhyasa [Discipline-in this case Spiritual Practice] by seeking Adi Guru Sankaracharya’s[[The author of Advaita School of Hindu Philosophy]  anugraha [Divine Blessing]. But first I bow to ancient seers who left us the blessed legacy of the Vedas by acknowledging and sharing this plea to the God of ancestors.

Namo paramam Rishibhyo, Namo paramam Rishibhiyaha

“आ नो भद्राः क्रतवो यन्तु विश्वत:”

Aa No Bhadraha, krutvo Yantu Vishwataha!

Let noble thoughts come to us from every side. Rk Veda I: 89:

“Hrudaye kalaye vimalam Charanam,

Bhava Sankara Desika me sharanam”

On Thy faultless feet I meditate in my heart,
Be Thou my refuge O Master, Sankara!

Totakashtakam

1.

When I had the high honor and distinct privilege to  chant prayers at the end of Selection committee meeting on 02 07 21  I chanted Shlokas #1, # 2, #8 audibly, my emotional experiences in the long stressful meeting didn’t permit me to chant the following shlokas audibly # 3, #4, #9 and #10 which I chant regularly at home or wherever I may be morning noon and night and I didn’t want to extend the meeting to re-equilibrate myself. VM.

Om Poornam-Adaha Poornam-Idam, Poornaath-Poornam-Udachayte
Poornasya Poornam-Aadaaya Poornam-Eva-Avashissyate ||

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shantihi ||


1: Om, That is Full, This also is full and from this Fullness emerges that Fullness,
2: Taking Fullness from Fullness, Fullness Indeed Remains.
3: Om Peace prevail  in the three spheres.

2.

Om Asato Maa Sad-Gamaya |
Tamaso Maa Jyotir-Gamaya |
Mrtyor-Maa Amritam Gamaya
|
Om Shanti, Shanti Shaantih ||

1: Om, Lead us from Unreality (of Transitory Existence) to the Reality (of Self),
2: Lead us from the Darkness (of Ignorance) to the Light (of Spiritual Knowledge),
3: Lead us from the Fear of Death to the Knowledge of Immortality.
4: Om Peace prevail in the three spheres.

Rk-Veda Prayer

Samaano Mantra, Samiti Samaani; Samaanam Manasah Chittameshaam; Samaani Va Aakuti; Samaanaa hrudayaani Va; Samaanam astu vo mano yato vasu sahaasati

O God!
Let us be united; Let us speak in harmony;
Let our minds apprehend alike.

Common be our prayer; Common be the end of our assembly;
Common be our resolution/purpose; Common be our deliberations.

Alike be our feelings; Unified be our hearts; Common be our intentions;
Perfect be our unity.

Rk Veda: X, 191-3,

5. [Sanskrit Aphorisms]

Subhasita 2

क्षमा बलमशक्तानाम् शक्तानाम् भूशणम् क्षमा ।
क्षमा वशिक्रुते लोके क्षमया: किम् न सिध्यति । ॥
Forgiveness is the strength of the weak. forgiveness is the ornament of the
mighty. if the world is conquered by forgiveness, what cannot be accomplished by forgiveness?

Nobelist Rabindranath Tagore:

"Truth comes as conqueror only to those who have lost the art of receiving it as a guest.

The Fourfold Way of India (1924); this has become paraphrased as "Truth comes as conqueror only to those who have lost the art of receiving it as friend."

8.

Om! Saha Na Vavatu, Saha Now Bhunaktu, Saha veeryam Karavavahai, Tejas vinavadheetham Astu, Ma Vidwisha vahai. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shantihi.

Om! Oh! Mind and speech enable me to grasp the Truth that the Vedas teach. Let not what I have heard forsake me. Let me continuously live my days and nights in my studies. I am thinking of the Truth. I speak the Truth. May That – the Truth protect me. May That –the Truth protect my teacher. May that protect me, May that protect my teacher.
