Concluded the programs of Deepavali, had darshan of Kollur Mookambika, and the famous Idugunji Ganesh shrine in Karnataka. In the month of Kartika we have gathered here to sing the names of God.
Bhajan: siddhi doota buddhi natha – O Ganesa, the giver of accomplishments and a good mind, please remove our delusion. You wield a bow of sugarcane and a rope. You are the son of Ishwara. You protect devotees. You are worshipped first and foremost. You support fine arts such as music and dance. Victory to Lord Ganesa
Bhajan: Madaalamba Mookamba lokamba pahi.
Mother Goddess gave darshan to Sri Adi Shankara in the form of the Mother with all three types of Energy. It is a shrine that everyone must visit in one’s lifetime. She decided to remain at that sacred spot as Sri Sankara was taking Her from Kerala. She supports fully all beings in this world. She grants to devotees the faculty of clear and perfect speech. Those who can speak but do not use the gift properly are considered mute. She blesses such and makes them speak effectively and beneficially.
O Mother Mookamba, my sole support, the mother of all the worlds, please protect me. A Sanskrit bhajan..
Bhajan: Tripure trigune – a Devi Navavarana composition..
OM repetition.
Bhajan: Sri Rajarajeswari – the last of the nine Navavarana compositions of Sri Swamiji
Victory to Mother Goddess Sri Rajarajeshwari.
It is very auspicious to praise Lord Siva in the month of Kartiks.
Bhajan: jyotirlingakara. Nripe chandrasene – Hindola raga
Some prayers have similar phrases repeating and get devotees confused when they chant from memory. It will go in circles forever. Once in Bangalore I was asked by Sri Swamiji to chant a mantra in my childhood when all other priests had left. I was over-confident. I got confused similarly and a five minute mantra went on endlessly in circles.
Namassivaya repetition
Takes one to Kailas.
Bhajan: jyotirlingakara – Ganesha paksha –
So many forms are there of Lord Shiva. He has all, yet requires nothing. 5 Mondays in the month of Kartika this year. It is rare and special. One great devotee cursed a king and left her body in the River Kaveri. On years when this occurs, Siva gives darshan at that great spot.
Do not question everything logically and scientifically. It is ordained by Siva. It is etched in stone, or on metal. In this month, worship Light, worship Siva. It has been ordained that it should be done. A commandment from God who has created this world must be obeyed. Chant the name of Siva, since you are blessed with a body. He is represented by Light. It is a symbol. Everyone praise and worship Lord Siva.
Sachchidananda chant
Victory to Sri Sachchidanandeswara.
Bhajan: echata Rama keertanam – elli Rama keertane alli hanuma nartane
Where Rama is praised, there Hanuma dances. If you simply remember Rama, Hanuma will etch Him in your heart. If you discuss who Rama is, Hanuma Himself will turn into Sachchidananda to grant you all boons and permanent bliss.
Chanting of the name of Rama
Srirama jayarama jaya jaya Rama
Wherever Rama is thought of, there Hanuman manifests.
Victory to Rama. Victory to Hanuman. Victory to Sadgurudeva. Govinda Govinda.
Tomorrow witness the abhishekam in the evening. Sadguru in the form of Sri Sachchdanandeswara will bless you all. Please light lamps everywhere, especially at your birthday pillar. Support others by providing the required supplies.
Kakadarti
