Yoga Lakshmi Narasimha Suprabatham
By
Saint Doddacharya of SholaVandan
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(This Suprabatham is addressed to Lord Narasimha of Gadikachala , which is in Sholavandan of Tamil Nadu. After the killing Hiranya Kasipu , Lord couldnt contain his anger and there are several stories as to how his anger was controlled. Later to make Prahaladahappy, Yoga Narasimhar gave his seva for 1 Gadika in yogic pose. Because of this, the temple of Yoga Narasimha is also called as "Gadikachalam.". Goddess Lakshmi and Bhoodevi are with him./ Lord Anjaneya again in a yogic pose has a sepearate temple in an adjoining hill again in the yogic pose. This prayer is composed by Saint Doddacharya(believed to be an incarnation of Narasimha) who lived in Sholavandan. A detailed write up of the temple is given in http://kannansevel.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
The stotra in sanskrit alphabets(Deva Nagari) is available in http://prapatti.com/slokas/sanskrit/yogalakshmiinarasimhasuprabhaatam.pdf )
This holy place (Divyadesam) has legendary association with Ramayana. When Lord Rama was preparing to end his avatara, he asked Anjaneyar (Hanuman) who was beside him, to reside at Sholingur and protect the seven rishis who were doing a penance. Hanuman slayed two demons who were trying to disrupt the sages. The sages (rishis) were praying to gain a glimpse of Lord Narasimhar, who appeared before them within a Katigai (24 minutes). Also sage Vishwamtirar earned his title Brahmarishi upon praying at this site for a Katigai. The Lord also gave salvation to Prahlada in this location. The belief is that praying at the temple for a Katigai would relieve a human being from the cycle of rebirth

Varadaraja Panchakam
Varadaraja Panchakam
By
Saint Doddacharya
(These five verses are also known as Deva Raja Panchakam. They were composed by Doddacharya of Sholingur who was not able to attend the annual festival oF Kanchi on the day when the Lord is carried on The Garuda Vahanam. It seems he sung these five great verses and the Lord appeared before him. In remembrance of this great event, every year during the annual festival The Lord Varada of Kanchi riding on Garuda during this procession is hidden for a minute by the great Umbrellas (Known as Doddacharya Sevai) and then the Aarthi performed. The very devotional commentary on this great prayer is available in
http://www.ahobilavalli.org/sri_varadaraja_panchakam.pdf )
1.Prathyushe Varada prasanna vadhana prapthabhi mukhyaan janaan,
Aabadha anjali masthakani vimalan aabaalam aanandayan.
Mandhod dayitha chamaro mani maya swetha thapthrassanai ,

In the very early morning , Varada who is very pleased will arrive at the inner gate,
Riding on Garuda , where the important people would assemble saluting him,
Holding their clasped hands above their head, making the pure as well as ,
The ones, without any support very happy and then along with the fans ,
The white umbrellas decorated by pearls would move slowly hither and thither.
2.Mukthadha pithra yugalopaya chamarantha,
Vidhyothamana vinadha thanayadhi aaroodam,
Bhaktha abhaya pradha karambhujam ambujaksham,
Nithyam namani Varadam Ramaneeya vesham.
I daily salute the Varada with a pretty mien,
Who with great luster rides on the back of the son of Vinatha(Garuda),
Flanked on either side by two fans made of deer tail and
White umbrellas decorated by pearls,
Along with his lotus like eyes and his lotus like hands
Providing blessing to all his devotes.
3.Yad veda mouli gana vedhya mavedhya manyai,

That lotus like feet of the God who has a lotus flower on his belly,
Whose greatness can only be described by the head of the Vedas,

Are only fit to be worshiped by human beings.
4.Kechit Thathwa visodane pasupathou paaramya mahu pare,
Vyajahu kamalasane naya vidho apya anye harou sadharam,
Ithyevam chala chethasaam thanu bratham Padaravindhamm hare,
Thath sandarsayatheeva samparthi nrunaam sruthinaam nidhi.
Many people after examining the Vedas wrongly conclude that Shiva is the greatest,
And some others by their new methods conclude that Lord Brahma is the greatest,
And these people with wavering mind are not considering the lotus feet of Hari,
Which is the treasure of Vedas which has been found by the learned Men.
5.Prathya gopura sammukhe dinamukhe paksheendra samvahitham,
Nrutha chamara korakam nirupama cchathra dwayi bhasuram,
SAnandam dwija mandalam vidadhatham sannaha chihwaravai,
Kantham punya krutho bhajanthi varadam Kanchyaam thritheeyothsave.
Those blessed people only can worship on the third day of festival of Kanchi, The great Varada,
In front of the temple towers at the break of morn , when he is carried by the king of birds,
Along with the two fans which seem to be dancing and along with two unmatched shining umbrellas,
And along with the prayers sung as a prelude by the groups of elated Brahmins who are blessed with knowledge.

Tripurasundari Suprabatham
Tripurasundari Suprabatham
(Wishes for a good morning to the beauty of Tripura)
By
Shankarananda
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Among the several names of the goddess Parvathy
one of the most important is Tripurasundari. This
means the prettiest woman of the three worlds. It
is also possible that she is called Tripurasundari
because she is the consort of Lord Shiva who is
called Tripura because he contains within himself
all the three forms of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.)
1.Om uthishtothishta deva devesi , uthishta Shiva Sundari,
Uthishta Sri Maharajni, trilokyam mangalam kuru.
Om Goddess of goddesses , be pleased to wake up,
Please wake up the pretty one of Lord Shiva,
Please wake up oh greatest queen,
And make the three worlds auspicious.
2.Neerajananena Jagad easwari bhaktha sanghai,
Neerajyase Bhuvana mangala sidhi hetho,
Bhakthya prabatha samaye saha vadhya ghoshai,
Samsthooyase jaheehi kaithava yoga nidhraam.

Vandhe Sandarananda Sandoha daksham.
Salutations to the God who is diligent in managing Sum total of joy,
Who is consort of Parvathi, Who is lord of the universe, Who likes people who surrender,
Who lives in all beings , who wears snake Vasuki as an ornament over his neck,
Who has three eyes, Who is the god with five faces and is primeval.
2.Yogadheesam , Kamanasam, Karalam,
Ganga sanga klinna moordhana meesam,
Jata jutato parikshiptha bhavam,
Maha Kalam , Chandra phalam Namami

Who is the God of Yoga , who killed God of love , who is terrible,
Who is the God who carries River Ganga on his head,
And surrounds it with well tied twisted locks of hair.
3.Yo bhoothadhi Panchabhoothai sisrukshu,
Thanmathrathmaa Kala karma swabhavai,
Prahruthyedham prapya jeevathwameeso,

Who is the one who created beings from the five elements,

And made them a part of Brahma , proud and of good character ,
And I salute that divine God who is the part of the sound Om.
5.Yasyajnaya Vaayavo vaanthi loke,

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Here is yet another prayer to be chanted by the childless couple, It is addrssed to Sashti devi, who was the wife of Lord Subramanya called Devayani (Deva Sena) . She accoring to legend is the daughter of Lord Vishnu but brought up by Devendra as his foster daughter.Sashti devi is a Hindu folk goddess,(six headed) the benefactor and protector of children. She is also the deity of vegetation and reproduction and is believed to bestow children and assist during childbirth. She is often pictured as a motherly figure, riding a cat and nursing one or more infants. She is symbolically represented in a variety of forms, including an earthenware pitcher, a banyan tree or part of it or a red stone beneath such a tree. The worship of Sashti is prescribed to be done on the sixth day of each lunar month of the Hindu calendar as well as on the sixth day after a child's birth. Barren women desiring to conceive and mothers seeking to ensure the protection of their children will worship Sashti and request her blessings and aid. She is especially venerated in eastern India. More particulars about her can be got from

I sing about the very holy form of the divine Devasena,
Who blesses us with sons , auspiciousness, has a form of mercy and spread all over the world,
Who has a white golden colour of Champaka flowers,
And who has decorated herself with gem studded gold jewelery.
(Thus meditating, the worshipper should place a flower on his own
head. Then again meditating and muttering the moola mantra the votary
offers pAdya, arghya and AchamanIya, and sandal-paste, flowers,
incense, lamp waving, naivedyam of food, delightful edible roots and
fruits with the panchopachara pooja should be done and chant the following stotra. )

Mayureswara Stotram
Mayureswara Stotram
(From Ganesa Puranam)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(I am reproducing below an excellent write up on Mayureswara form of Ganesa from
https://theemerald.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/mayureshwar-1st-of-the-21-swayambu-ganesha-series/
Mayureswara is the first incarnation of Ganesha, as per the Ganesha Puran. Ganeshas incarnation was during Treta yuga. He was born to Shiva and Parvati. He had six arms and is sweta varna (white complexion). He incarnated for the purpose of killing the demon called Sindhu.
Story behind Mayureshwara
During Treta yuga, there was a king named Chakrapani living in Gandali Nagari of Mithila kingdom. His wife was Queen Ugra, she was a mahapativrata. The couple was blessed with all happiness except that they had no children. Both, the king and the queen started a penance asking Surya devata ( Lord Sun) to fulfill there wishes . With the blessing of Surya, Ugra conceived. The embryo was so bright and powerful, that she could not bear the brilliance of it so she released the embryo in the sea. From that embryo, a brilliant child was born. Samudra devata (Lord of Sea) disguised himself as a Brahmin, reached Chakrapanis court and gave the child back to him. As the child was born in the sea the king named him `Sindhu.
Days passed and Sindhu grew up, his teacher Shukracharya, directed him to worship Lord Surya inorder to become powerful. Accordingly, Sindu for two thousand years continuously meditated on Lord Surya, who finally was pleased with him and in return Sindhu asked for immortality. Lord Surya, gave Sindu Amrita and told him thus
Oh Sindu! take this Amrita. This will remain in your stomach (near navel). As long as this nectar is present in your body , you will not die.
Sindhu after drinking Amrita became more powerful. King Chakrapani realised that his son Sindhu became intelligent and powerful because of the boon and gave him the kingdom. The new ambitious king, Sindhu started on a universal quest. With his incomparable valiant he won many battles against Indra, Vishnu and other Gods. After winning the war, Sindhu imprisoned all the devas at Gandaki Nagari. Now King Sindhu turned towards Lord Shiva, and attacked Kailash.
The imprisioned devas started praying to Lord Ganesha. The gods and sages started worshipping Ganesha by performing the Yagna(worshipping with the fire). From the fumes of the yagnya a peacock emerged out with Omkar Ganesha. Ganesha was delighted and said
I will be born again. I, the son of Parvarti will kill Sindhu . During Krita Yuga everyone will know me as `Vinayaka, while in Treta yuga you will see me as Mayureshwara, in Dwapar yuga I will be called as Gajanana and in Kalyug I will be named as Dhumraketu. * (All the 4 avataras of Ganesha as per Ganesha Puran)
Lord Shiva and Parvati left Kailash and moved to Meru Parvat. Goddess Parvati commenced a 12 yearpenance of Lord Ganesha with Ek Akshar Mantra `OM . In the end she received a boon that Lord Ganesha will take a rebirth as her son on Bhadrapad Shuddha Chaturthi. Parvati made an idol of Lord Ganesha using the turmeric of her body and it turned into a live child. Shiva and Parvati named their son as Ganesh.
Days passed. Lord Ganesha was ten years old, Shiva & Parvati fed up of Sindus harassment decided to move from Meru Parvat, the demon Kamalasur came in their way. Lord Ganesha challenged Kamalasur and killed him. Now Lord Ganesha attacked Sindus Gandaki Nagar. Lord Ganesha killed Sindus two sons. A defeated Sindhu ran away from the battlefield. Sindhus father advised him to surrender to Lord Ganesha, but he denied and continued the battle.
Lord Ganesha attacked him with parashu(hatcher) and removed the nectar from the naval and killed Sindhu. Lord Ganesha was riding on the peacock during the battle , so he was named as `Mayureshwara or `Moreshwar. After Brahma requested Lord Ganesha to live in Morgaon forever for his devotees. Lord Ganesha accepted their request. Brahma prepared an idol of sand, clay and precious stones and installed at Morgaon on Bhadrapada Shuddha Chaturthi.
Lord Ganesha told them whoever lives and prays over here wont fear for any obstacle or danger. Lord Mayureshwara is very powerful, potent and awaked god. If you wish something holy at Morgaon then that wish will definitely become true. This is the belief of devotees of Lord Ganesha and they experience it. )

And so please read always this and drink the nectar of the names of Subramanya.
10.Yad pada smaranena soka moha bhayapaham,
That sri Shanmuga padabhjam sadaa rakshathu Manava,
Roopathyatham klesa nasanam nama japam moksha dayakam,
Sarva pooja phalam prapthi videha mukthi dayakam.
Just the remembrance of his feet would remove sorrow, attachment and fear,
For the lotus feet of the six faced one will always protect man,
Give him pretty form , end his troubles and chanting his names would lead to salvation,
And a complete worship of him leads to salvation when we loose this body.

( I could not find in the web this complete stotra , though I found several references to the first three stanzas of this great prayer addressed to Ganesa. In many places it is mentioned that the first three stanzas are to be recited during the pooja on Sankata Hara Chathuthi. Some people call it Ganesa sthavam and yet others as Ganesa stotram. In the Malayam stotra book called “Bruhath stotra rathnakaram “ published by R.S.Vadhyar and sons , Kalpathi, Palghat , it is referred to as Ganesa Bhujanga stotram. But since it is not in bhujanga meter and the real Ganesa Bhujangam written by Adhi Sankara is different , I presume the title is wrong. In some references authorship of adhi Sankara is ascribed to the first three stanzas but reference to his complete works shows that it is not composed by Adhi Sankara)

Jano vigna sanganna peedaam labhetha,
Lasad soorya bimbe visale sthithoyam,
Janodwandha baadhaam kadham vaa labetha.
Those people who sanctify you in the lotus of their mind.
Would get rid of the groups of problems due to road blocks,

Idhaneem avaptham thavaiva prasadath,
Prapannani maan pahi viswambharadhyaa.
We, who have been confused always by the path of wisdom,
Not getting your feet and shower of blessings,

Ad who gives divine wisdom to sages and changes us from a distance.
8.Nijai roshadi tharpayantham kuroughai,
Suroghaan kalaabhi sudhaa sraavineebhi,
Dinesamsu santhapaharam dwijesam,
Sasanka swaroopam Ganesam Namama.
I salute the moon form of Ganesa,
Who truly gave up his position to write the story of Kurus,
Who drips nectar to the devas through his crescents,
And who is the antidote to suffering caused by sun and is the God of the twice born.
9.Prakasa swaroopam , nabho vayu roopam,
Vikaradhi hethum , kalaakala bhootham,
Aneka kriya aneka sakthi swaroopam,
Sada shakthi roopam Ganesam namama.
I always salute the Goddess form of Ganesa,
Which is a dazzling form , which is the form of wind and sky,
Who is the reason of the minutest problems of the past,
And who is the form of several actions and several powers.
10.Pradhana swaroopam , mahath thathwa roopam,
Dharaa vari roopam , digeesadhi roopam,
Asath sath swaroopam , jagat hethu bhootham,
Sada Viswa roopam, Ganesam Bhajama.
I always salute that universal form of Ganesa,
Which is the major form , which is the form of great reality,
Which is the form which carries, which is the form of god of directions,
And which is the form which is real as well as unreal and is the cause of the world.
11.Thwadheeye mana sthapaye dangri padme,
Jano vigna sanganna peedaam labhetha,
Lasad soorya bimbe visale sthithoyam,
Janodwandha baadhaam kadham vaa labetha.
Those people who sanctify you in the lotus of their mind.
Would get rid of the groups of problems due to road blocks,
And who else would remove the problems of all people,
Sitting broadly on the shining form of the Sun .
12.Vayam bramithaa sarvadhaa jnana yogath,
Alabdhwaa thwangrim bahoon varsha poogaan,
Idhaneem avaptham thavaiva prasadath,
Prapannani maan pahi viswambharadhyaa.
We, who have been confused always by the path of wisdom,
Not getting your feet and shower of blessings,
Have now reached , due to your grace,
The position of gods like the Fire God.
13.Idham ya padeth prartha uthaya dheemaan,
Trisandhyam sadaa bhakthi yuktho vishudha,
Sa puthraan sriyam sarva kaamaan labhetha,
Para Brahma roopo bhaved antha kaale.
That good one who reads it after getting up in the morning,
And read it with devotion at dawn, noon and dusk with purity,
Would get sons , wealth and all his desires ,
And in the end assume the form of divine Brahmam,
