Prayers based on Birth Nakshatra


Prayers  based on Birth Nakshatra

Translated  by
P.R.Ramachander



(Every person in this world is born in one of the 27 stars(nakshatra) . They indicate  the position of moon in their horoscope. I recently saw a book which gives   the daily prayers which people have to  chant daily  based on their birth stars. It is recommended  that they chant  the small prayers  and if not possible  meditate  on the Gayatri given.. If done , they  will become prosperous and most of their proper  wishes would be fulfilled  .

God bless the anonymous author)

Neelakandam, kalamoorthim kalagnamr kalanasanam,
Namami sirasa devam, kim no mrutyu karishyathi.
What can death do to the one,
Who salutes with his head that god,
Who is having a blue neck,
Who is the form of death,
Who knows paste, present and future,
And who destroyed the god of death.

Pasupatheendu patheem dharanipatheem,
Bhujaloka patheem cha sathipatheem,
Pranatha bhaktha janarthi haram param,
Bhajatha re manuja girijapatheem. 1

Hey man, pray the lord of the daughter of the mountain,
Who is the lord of all beings,
Who is the lord of the moon,
Who is the lord of the world,
Who is the lord of the universe,
Who is the Lord of Sathi Devi,
And who destroys the sorrows of his devotees.

Na janako, na janani na cha sodharo,
Na thanayona cha bhooribalam kulam,
Avathi kopi na kalavasam gatham,
Bhajatha re manuja girijapatheem.

Hey man, pray the lord of the daughter of the mountain,
For, when you are going to the god of death,
Neither father nor mother nor brother,
Nor sons nor your family with many members,
Can ever save you for sure.

I salute him, who carries a matted lock,
Who wears the garland of serpents,
Who is the destroyer of every thing,
Who lives on mount Kailasa,
And who is the other shore of the ocean of life.

Chandra kalojjwalaphalam kantavyalam jagathrayee palam,
Krutha nara masthakamalam kalam kalasya komalam vande.

I salute him whose forehead,
Is decorated by the crescent,

Who wears human skulls as garland,
Who is death to the god of death,
And who is very handsome.
