Universal prayer   to avoid  bad  events

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

There is  no one in the world who is free  from sufferings  like bad dreams, worry  , sickness  , natures anger etc. Here is a remarkable   prayer   to the Lord of the world to   destroy all of them . In the original “Jagadhaam Adheesa”   is  translated as Lord Shiva  but to me  it appears to be addressed   to   the God whom we believe   as the Lord of the earth  and once   we agree  to that  , here  is a universal  prayer  applicable    to each and every one of us addressed to the God   whom we believe.  Do we not chant daily

“Akasath  Pathitham thoyam ,

Yadha gachathi   SAgaram,

SArva  Deva Namaskara ,

Kesavam  pradhi gachathi”

Meaning ,

“Just like    the water  falling from the sea ,

Is going   and reaching the sea,

The salutations   that we  make to any God ,

Does   go and reach   Kesava”

Only a religion like   us which has   this  universal concept of God  can  give rise  to  a  Universal prayer  like this. Please do chant it with belief in God    and you   would  achieve lot to yourself and lot more   to all the beings of the world.

Duswapna  , Dusakuna  , Durgathi  , Dhourmanasya,

Dur biksha , dur vyasana, dussaha dur yasaamsi,

Oh Lord  of the world  ,please  destroy   bad dreams,

Famines  , great sorrows , unbearable bad name ,

Suffering to nature’s anger  , fear due to poison ,

Ayyaval’s aarthi hara Stotram

Ayyaval’s  aarthi hara  Stotram

By

Sridhara  Ayyaval

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(The great  saint  Sridhara Ayyaval was the son Sri Sridhara Padmanabha who was a high ranking officer in the court of the king of Mysore.  He was offered the post of his father , when his father attained salvation and he rejected that  offer  as he was spiritually oriented and took his residence in Thiruvisainallur in the banks of river Cauvery. You can read about this great savant in http://www.sriayyaval.org/lsdetail.html . Here is a remarkable   stotra , where he  Tells   God Shiva that he is not protecting him   and pleads with him in various ways   to protect him.  There is a story given about   the need to compose this stotra   given in  http://avdevantimes.blogspot.in/2010/11/sridhara-gangadhara.html

“Ayyaval used to visit the temple of Mahalinga on a daily basis as a routine to have the darshan of the Lord Mahalinga. He loved the deity very much that rain or shine he would not miss visiting the temple. To reach the temple he used to cross River Kaveri. One particular day there was a huge rain and the river kaveri was flooded. The boatmen refused to ferry the boat to cross the river. Ayyaval was saddened as he could not visit the temple that day and gazing the tower of the temple on the other shore Ayyaval stood with tear-filled eyes. He went back home and composed a soulful prayer “Aarthi Hara Stotra”. Later that day the priest of the Shiva temple visited his house and gave the sacred ash “Vibhuthi” prasada. Ayyaval felt it was Lord Shiva himself had come in the guise of the priest. Overwhelmed he then composed “Dayasathakam” i.e. 100 verses glorifying the compassion of the Lord.”

 I have translated this STotra with the help of Tamil Translation of Sengalipuram Anantharama  Deekshithar.)

3.Muniyon nee samji , muniyon ne  jani,

Vedon ki  bhasha  purnan  kee  bhani  ,

Hum bhi   tho samje  , hum bhi tho  jaane ,

Vidhyaa ka  humko   adhikar   dhe  ma,

Hey Saradhe ma, Hey Saradhe  Ma.

3.Sages  understood  , sages  knew,

The language  of Vedas , the language  of epics,

We also understood,  We   also understood,

Please give  us the right   to knowledge  , mother ,

Hey Mother  Sarada, Hey mother   Sarada.

4.Thu sweth  varni   kamal  pe  viraje  ,

Hathon me  Veena,  Mukut sar pe saje,

Man se   hamare  mita  ke   andhere  ,

Humko  ujalon  ka samsar   dhe ma,

Hey Saradhe ma, Hey Saradhe  Ma.

4. You shine sitting on a white lotus  flower,

You have Veena in your hand, You  wear a crown on head  ,

Please  remove  darkness  from our mind ,

Oh mother   give   us the world   with a great shine  ,

Hey mother Sarada , Hey mother  Sarada
