Rudhrashtakam

(Octet on Rudhra)

Composed by

Goswami Thulasi Das

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(Here is a very rare prayer on Lord Shiva Composed by Goswami Thulasi das who was the author of Ramacharith Manas in Hindi a great Vaishnavite saint)

Namam Meesana nirvana roopam,

Vibhum vyapakam Brahma Veda swaroopam,

Nijam nirgunam nirvikalpam nireeham,

Chidakasamaakasa vasam Bhajeham.                             1

I salute your Eesana form bereft of everything,

Who blesses, who has spread everywhere,

Who the form of Brhamam is as described in Vedas,

Who is true, who is property less, and who is everywhere

Who does not have any differences ,

And who is like a sky and resides in the divine cosmos, I pray him.

Niraakara monkaara moolam thureeyam ,

Giraa jnana gotheethamesam  gireesam,

Karalam maha kala kalam krupalam,   

Gunaa gara samsara param nathoham.                             2

I salute that God who is without properties,

Who is the source of the holy sound Om,

Who is thureeya*, who is beyond sound, wisdom and senses.

Who is the God of mountains, who is cruel,

Who is the death to God of death , who is merciful,

Who is beyond properties and the bridge to cross life.

   The fourth and most holy state of human beings.

Thushaaraadhi sankasa gowram gabheeram,

Mano bhootha koti prabha sree sareeram,

Sphuran mouli kallolini charu ganga,

Lasaddala balendu kante bhujanga.                                   3

I salute that God  who is more whiter ,

Than the Himalayas and the conch,

Who is majestic , whose shine ,

Is superior to crores of god of love,

On whose head is the holy Ganges with waves,

Who wears the crescent on his forehead,

And a serpent encircles his neck.

Chalath kundalam bru sunethram vishaalam,

Prasannananam neela kandam dhayalam,

Mugadheesa charmambaeam munda malam,

Priyam shankaram sarva nadham bhajami.                             4

I salute that God, with swinging ear globes,

Who has broad clear eyes, , whose face is happy,

Whose neck is blue, who is merciful,

Who wears the lion’s skin and a garland of skulls,

Who is God of all , loving and the destroyer.

Prachandam prakrushtam Prakalbham  paresam,

Akhandam ajam bhanu koti prakasam,

Thraya soola nirmoolanam soola panim,

Bhajeham bhavani pathim bhava gamyam.                                 5

I salute that God who is vehement,

Who is superior , capable and divine,

Who is limitless, who is not born,

Who has the luster of billions of Suns,

Who holds the trident , who completely destroys,

Who holds the spear, who is consort of Parvathi,

And who goes in to the state of divine.

.Kalatheetha kalyani kalpanthakari,

Sada sajjananda datha  purari,

Chidananda sandoha mohapahari,

Praseeda praseeda  prabho mamamadhari.                                    6

Oh Lord you are beyond time  and ages,

You are the blissful and one who destroys ,

This world at the end of the eons,

You are the one who gives happiness to the good,

You are the destroyer  of the three cities,

You are the Lord who grants us all,

Eternal bliss and destroy wrong passions,

And Oh killer of God of love, be pleased, be pleased.

Na yavad Umanada padaravindam ,

Bhajantheeha loke pare vaa naraanaam,

Na thath sukham shanthi santhapa nasam,

Praseedha prabho  Sarva bhoothadhivasam.                                  7

Till one does not pray the lotus like feet ,

Of Lord Shiva, men would not get pleasure,

Peace  and freedom from all sorrows

In this world or in the next world,

So please bless me God who lives in all beings.

Na janami yogam , japam , naiva poojaam,

Nathoham sada sarvadha Shambhu thubhyam,

Jara janma dukhogha  thathpyamanam,

Prabho pahi aapannamameesa Shambho.                                        8

I do not know Yoga , chanting nor worship,

But I am always your  devotee , Oh Shambho,

I being surrounded by old age , birth and sorrows,

Oh Lord Oh Shambo please save me from these dangers.

Rudhrashtakamidham proktham Viprena hara thoshaye,

Ye padanthi naraa bhakthya thesham Shambhu praseedathi.

This octet on Rudhra has been ,

Composed by a Brahmin to please the Lord,

And the man who reads this with devotion,

Would be blessed by the Lord Shambhu.

Ithi Sri Goswami Thulasi dasa krutham Sri Rudhrashtakam sampoornam.

                          Margabandhu Stotram

                                (Prayer to the God of the path)

                                            Translated by

                                         P.R.Ramachander

(This great Stotra Rathna was written by Appayya Deekshitha(1520-1593). He was the greatest interpreter of Advaitha Sidhantha after Adhi Sankara. This stotra is written in praise of the Lord Margabandhu of Virinchipuram, near Vellore of South Arcot district of Tamil Nadu.

   People who undertake any journey should recite it before traveling, on the days when they are traveling and after the completion of travel. Lord Shiva  as Margabandhu would always be with them and protect them.)

Shambho Maha deva deva, Shiva

Shambho Maha devesa Shambho,

Shambho Mahadeva deva.

Prostrations to He who blesses us with prosperity,

Prostrations to the greatest God,

Prostrations to the abode of peace,

Prostrations to Him, who blesses us with riches,

And Prostrations to him who is the God of Gods.

(To make it readable I have added the word Prostrations which is a hidden word in the above sloka. This sloka has to be recited every time immediately after reciting the five verses given below)

I pray to that friend of the path,

Who wears a crown on his head,

Who kills his enemies by his trident,

Who wears a crescent which showers nectar,

And who burnt by the fire of his eyes,

Which are on his forehead,

Him who has the five arrows like an insect.

(Prostrations to he who blesses….)

(Manmatha, the lord of love has five flower arrows –lotus, Asoka, mango, jasmine and the blue lotus. Lord Shiva killed him by the fire generated by his third eye.)

Abhra Ganga tharangabhi Ramothamangam,

Omkaravati kurangam, Sidha samsevathangrivyagram,

Bhaje Margabandum  (Shambho Mahadeva…)       2

I pray  to that friend of the path,

Whose limbs are adorned by a snake,

Who is a deer in the park of holy pranava,

Whose feet is worshipped by great sages,

And who looks charming with his head,

Adorned by the Ganga of the sky,

(Prostrations to he who blesses….)

(Pranava is the holy letter “Om”. Akasa Ganga  resides on the Head of Lord Shiva)

Nithyam, Chidanada roopam,

Ninhutha sesha lokesa vairi prathapam,

Kartheswaragendrachapam, krithivasam,

Bhaje divya sanmarga bandhum (Shambo mahadeva deva…)  3

I pray  to that friend of the good  divine path,

Who is perennial and of the form of,

Truth, intelligence and bliss,

Who destroyed without reminder,

The glory of the fame of the enemy of Indra,

Who used the golden Mount Meru,

As his bow in the war against three asuras,

And who dresses himself in hides of trees.

(Prostrations to he who blesses….)

(Shiva destroyed the pride of Ravana when he visited his abode. He used Mount Meru as his bow to win over the Tripuras)

Kandarpa darpagna meesam,

Kala kantam Mahesam Maha vyoma kesam,

Kundabhadandam Suresam, Koti surya prakasam,

Bhajhe Marga bandhum. (Shambho mahadeva deva…)    4

I pray  to that friend of the path,

Who put an end to the pride of God of love,

Who  is the great Lord  who has a deep blue throat,

Who has the great sky as his matted lock,

Whose teeth resemble the white jasmine flowers,

And who has the shine of billions of Suns.

(Prostrations to he who blesses….)

Mandara Bhutherydaram, Mandaragendrasaaram, Mahagouryudooram,

Sindhoora dhoora pracharam, Sindhoorajathi dheeram,

Bhaje Margabandhum (Shambho Mahadeva deva…)          5

I pray  to that friend of the path,

Who is more generous than the wish giving tree,

Who is the strength behind the great Mandara Mountain,

Who is very close to the great Goddess Gauri,

Who has a red colour far intense  than red lead,

And who is more resolute than the God of the ocean.

(Prostrations to he who blesses….)

(Mandara Mountain was used to churn the ocean of milk)

Appayya who is the performer of sacrifices,

Would ensure fulfillment of wishes,

Protection during journey,

And Lord Shiva would be easily pleased.
