Maha  Ganapathi  Manthras (13 different manthras)

 

Translated  by

P.R.Ramachander

 

 


1.வினைகள் தீர்க்கும் விநாயகர்

 

Vinaikal  THeerkkum  Vinayakar

Vinayaka   who ends  problems


விநாயகனே வெவ்வினையை வேர் அறுக்க வல்லான்:
விநாயகனே வேட்கை தணிவிப்பான் விநாயகனே
விண்ணிற்கும் மண்ணிற்கும் நாதனுமாம் தன்மையினால்
கண்ணில் பணியின் கனிந்து

 

Vinayakane  ,  vevinayai , ver arukka   vallan

Vinayakane vetkai   thanivippan Vinayakane

Vinnirkkum, mannirkkum nathanumaam thanmayinaal\

Kannil  paniyin  kaninthu

 

Oh Vinayaka, he who is capable of uprooting cruel sorrow

Vinayaka   is the one who  puts an end to  needs

And being the  lord of  heaven   and earth

If WE bow   and salute him, it is good

2.முதல் தெய்வம் விநாயகர்-First  God is Ganesa


எந்த ஒரு காரியத்தைத் தொடங்கினாலும் அது எவ்விதத் தடையும் இல்லாமல் முற்றுப்பெற விநாயகர் வழிபாட்டுடன் ஆரம்பிப்பது நமது வழக்கம்.

 

First  God  is Ganesa

Whiever  task we start  , for ot  to be done  and finished  without any problem, we pray  Lord Ganesa


சுக்லாம் பரதரம் விஷ்ணும் சசிவர்ணம் சதுர்ப்புஜம்
ப்ரசன்ன வதனம் த்யாயேத் சர்வ விக்நோப சாந்தயே

 


Shuklambaradaram  Vishnum  Sasi Varnam  Chathurbujam,

Prasanna  Vadanam Dhyayeth , sarva Vigna upasanthaye.

 

The smarthas   consider it as  prayer   addressed to Lord Ganesa  , the remover of obstacles

And translate it thus:-

 

I meditate  on the cheerful faced  god   who  is the remover  of all obstacles,

Who is clad in white silk, who is peaceful, who is moon coloured  and has four hands.

 

 

என்று பிள்ளையாரை வணங்கி நெற்றியில் குட்டிக் கொண்டு எந்த ஒரு காரியத்தையும் ஆரம்பிக்க வேண்டும். இது விஷ்ணு சகஸ்ரநாமத்தில் உள்ளது.

 

Chanting  this prayer we  should  begin any job.,This  is in Vishnu  Sahasranama

With the ear studs worn in the ear shaking,
With all pretty gold ornaments waving,
With the pretty plait of ours,
Moving hither and thither,
With the bees surrounding the plait,
Moving with the plait,
We will all bathe and play ,
In the cool holy waters of the stream,
And sing of the temple at Thillai,
Sing of the lord,
Who is the meaning of Vedas,
Sing of the meaning of holy light,
Sing of his Konrai flowers adorning his hair,
Sing of Him who is the beginning and end,
Sing of him who shows us as different from this world,
And Pray the Goddess that we attain him,
Is it not our Lady.

Bhujangams-Dandakams -Gadhyams translated in to English

 Bhujangams-Dandakams  -Gadhyams  translated in to English        

 

BY

P.R.Ramachander

 


All  of us are   familiar  with normal prayers in Sanskrit called   Sahasranamams(1000 names) Trishathi  (300 names) Ashtotharam (108 names) , ashtakam (eight verses) , sapthakam (seven verses) , Shatkam( Six verses) , Panchakam (five verses) , Sthuthi (praise) , Sthava(hymns)  and  Stotra(ode) . WE do come across   some prayers   which  belong to  none  of these  categories.Some of them which are familiar to me  are  Bhujangam,   Dandakam  and Gadhyam . I have translated  in to English, very  few of  the  prayers (they are rare)  which fall  in these  category. Do know what they are  and enjoy  reading them.

 

I.Bhujangam (translated 12)

   Bhujangam  is a poem   resembling the sinuous  movement of a snake  . Though not many poets  could handle this method of writing, Adhi Sankara  was an exception .He has written several prayers adopting   this style  .Among them Subrahamanya  Bhujangam and  BHavani  Bujangam    are very famous  .If you come across  any other Bhujanga stotra   do send the url to me  (ramachander926@gmail.com)

II.Dandakam (translated  12  numbers)

  DAndakam is almost a prose poem. Unlike normal poems there are no restrictions  as to the number of letters  per line of the verse . Very few  poets have   attempted   to write  in this peculiar  meter . The most famous of course  is the  Shymala Dandakam , which is the first poem   written by   the great poet Kalidasa. Garuda Dandakam   is another famous  poem of this genera written by  the great  Vedanta  Desiga.There is also an Anjaneya  Dandagam  in Telugu , the lyrics of which  I could not get.

III.Gadhyam-(4 translated)

    Gadhyam is not a poem but prose  and so rarely used  to  write  prayers.  Saint Ramanuja   has written three  Gadhyams   and Vedantha Desika  who has come in his sishya parampara  has  written the   famous Raghu Veera Gadhya  which is the  story of Ramayana. Many translations  of  the Gadhya  thrayam ( Sri Vaikunta Gadhyam, SAranagathi Gadhyam    and Sri Ranga Gadhyam)   of Saint Ramanuja    are available   and so I did not attempt   to translate them myself. I also see  a reference to Srinivasa  Gadhyam, Lakshmi  Gadhyam etc

For the sake of  the son of he who has  gold in his blood,

The  ocean itself was churnedand  first  the nectar  was shared

And later  due to the quarrel  due to your words, yu got your head  and lived

Oh Kethu  who rules me , he who is prayer by earth and heaven
