Poonthanam

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(Poonthanam was possibly one of the greatest forerunners of Bhakthi cult in Kerala and his greatest work was Jnana Pana, Loosely it can be translated as “Pot of Knowledge”. But “pana” here is not pot but a style of folk poem. This is written in a common man’s language and in a common man’s verse. It preaches the greatness of repetition (singing) of the Holy God’s names. In between Poonthanam wrote about the world he saw and the world he wanted to see. Some people term it as the “Bhagavad Geetha of Malayalam. Here is a  great prayer in two stanzas   addressed to the Guru in Malayalam . It has unmatched simplicity and grandeur)

1.Ajnanam ullavayokke kalayanam

Vijnanam ullil vardhikkenam,

AAjnapichidenam  nalla Vazhikenne,

Nithyam Guru Nadha  Kumbidunnen.

You should destroy all ignorance in me,

The science in my heart should increase ,

You should order me  to follow the correct path,

Oh teacher who is my lord, I daily  salute you.

2.Anandam nalgunna pada renukkalaal ,

Manasamayoru darpanathil,

Malinyam pokkichu , nanma   varuthenam,

Nithyam Guru Nadha  Kumbidunnen.

Using the dust of your feet which gives happiness,

You should remove    all  the dirt,

From the mirror of mind and bring goodness  to me,

Oh teacher who is my lord, I daily  salute you.

Dwatrimsath Ganapathi dhyana slokas

Dwatrimsath  Ganapathi dhyana slokas.

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

       According to Mudgala Purana , a book dealing with Lord Ganesa, there are thirty two  forms of Ganesa. These are listed described along with pictures   and Dhyana Slokas are in a Kannada book called  Sri Thathwa nidhi, in the chapter on Shiva Nidhi. These pictures along with the slokas are  sculpturally  represented along with Dhyana Slokas  in the temple at Nanjangud  as well as  Chamaraja nagar near Mysore. I got these slokas in  a book pulished by the Ganesa temple of Connaught place , new Delhi in the year   1969.  Each Dhyana sloka gives a detailed  form of that Ganesa. Ganesa devotees believe  that chanting these 32 slokas   would  help you fulfill all your wishes.  Detailed iconography along with a drawn picture along with slokas   their translation as well as the location of the concerned  temples is available in the web site

Dwadasa Nama Keerthanam

Poonthanam

Translated by,

P.R.Ramachander

((Poonthanam was possibly one of the greatest forerunners of Bhakthi cult in Kerala and his greatest work was Jnana Pana, Loosely it can be translated as “Pot of Knowledge”. But “pana” here is not pot but a style of folk poem. This is written in a common man’s language and in a common man’s verse. It preaches the greatness of repetition (singing) of the Holy God’s names. In between Poonthanam wrote about the world he saw and the world he wanted to see. Some people term it as the “Bhagavad Geetha of Malayalam. Many of you may be surprised to know that  he has written , several prayers in Sanskrit too. In this prayer he has prayed the dwadasa namas of Vishnu, viz Kesava, Narayana, Madhava, Govinda, Vishnu Madhusudana, Purushothama, Vamana, Sreedhara, Hrishikesa, Padmanabha and Damodhara.)

Who shines like a piece of moon  with great necklaces  and gem studded coronets,

Who is slightly bent due to heavy breasts, Who is holding a bunch of flowers,

Lotus flower , noose and kausthubha  in her hands , who sports a very pleasant smile,

And who has  three enchanting eyes similar   to fully opened flowers.
