  • Shiva Namaskara Mantra From Mahanarayana Upanishad

    Powerful Mantras are to be found in the Mahanarayana Upanishad.

    The Gayatri Mantra,one of the most powerful mantras,which is the Mother of All Mantras

    Is found in this Upanishad.

     

    ‘

    Curiously it is an Upanishad that deals with not only with the enquiry into Reality but to daily Routine and other Mantras for specific occasions.

     

    The Mahanarayana Upanishad is in Krishna Yajur Veda.

     

    It contains the daily duties , procedures, mantras, and Devatha Gayatris.

     

    This Upanishad is also called Yagniki Upanishad as it deals at length with passages from Vedas and other Upanishads in parts or full used in religious acts of worship. According to Sage Sayana this Upanishad contains whatever mantras left over to be chanted in respect of Karma, Upaasana and Jnaana after the recital of Samhitha and Braahmana which are brought together in this rare compilation.

     

    Gayatri mantras in Maha Narayana Upanishad.

     

    Rudra Gaayatri—“Purushasya vidma sahasraakshasya mahadevasya dheemahi | tannoe rudrah prachoedayaat || — we meditate upon the Purusha. We meditate upon Mahadeva the omniscient for that purpose. May that God Rudra, prompt us that meditation upon the Purusha!
    “Tatpurushasya vidmahe mahaadevaaya dheemahi | Tannoe rudrah prachoedayaat”—we meditate upon that Purusha (Paramaatman).
    We meditate on Mahadeva for that purpose. May that Rudra invigorate us in our action of meditating on Purusha!
    Ganesha Gaayatri—“Tatpurushaaya vidmahe vakratundaaya dheemahi | Tannoe dantih prachoedayaat ||”
    We meditate upon that Purusha. We meditate on the Lord with curved trunk for that purpose.’

     

    Shiva Namaskara Mantra is found in this Upanishad.

     

     

    “May we Know or Realize the Supreme Person. For that, may we meditate upon
    Mahadeva and to that meditation may Rudra Impel us.
    May the Supreme who is the Ruler of All Knowledge, Controller of All created beings,
    the Preserver of the Vedas and the One Overlord of Hiranyagarbha, be benign to me. I am
    the Sadasiva described thus and denoted by Pranava.
    Salutations again and again to Hiranyabahu [One who has ornaments of gold on the Arms
    or possessing a Form having the golden hue], Hiranyavarna [He who is the Source of the
    syllables of the Vedas which are as precious as gold], Hiranyarupa [He who is shining in
    Splendour], Hiranyapati [the Lord of Riches wholesome and charming], Ambikapati [the
    Consort of Ambika, the Mother of the Universe], Umapati [The Master of Uma, Brahma￾vidya personified as such], Pasupati [the Lord of All created beings].
    Supreme Brahman, the Absolute Reality, has become an androgynous Person in the
    Form of Umamaheshvara, dark blue and reddish brown in hue, Absolutely Chaste
    and possessing Uncommon Eyes. Salutations to Him alone who is the Soul of the
    Universe or whose Form is the Universe.
    All this verily is Rudra. To Rudra who is such we offer our salutation. We salute
    again and again That Being, Rudra, who alone is the Light and the Soul of
    creatures. The material Universe, the created beings and whatever there is
    manifoldly and profusely created in the past and in the present in the form of the
    world, All that is indeed This Rudra. Salutations be to Rudra who is such.
    We sing a Hymn that confers on us happiness in the highest degree to Rudra who is
    Worthy of Praise, who is Endowed with the Highest Knowledge, who Rains objects to
    the worshippers most excellently, who is more Powerful and who is Dwelling in the
    Heart. Indeed All this is Rudra. Salutations be to Rudra who is such.”

  • Burn Poverty Daridra Dahana Stotra.

     

    Poverty is Cruel, more cruel is to be poor when one is young.

     

    Poverty.Image.jpg
    Poverty.

     

    Poverty saps everything you  possess, intelligence, looks, determination.

     

    Remove Poverty, you shine in your natural splendor.

     

    Theory says Money is not important.

     

    Practical Life is different.

     

    Hinduism is aware of this,though branded as setting its sight on the Moon, it has its feet on the ground.

     

    Chant this Daridra Dahana Stotra, and burn poverty.

     

    This is the meaning of the Stotra.

     

    Follow the procedure as mentioned in my other posts on Mantras, filed under Hinduism.

    I salute that Shiva, who burns the sorrow of poverty,
    Who is the lord of the universe,

    Who carries the Ganga on his head,
    And who killed the king of elephants.

    This prayer composed by sage Vasishta,
    Is one which gives all types of wealth,
    And whoever chants it at dawn, noon and dusk,
    Would enjoy the pleasures of heaven.
