center of Sri Chakra on the throne of Pancha brahmas on the Bindu Peeta (dot plank) called
sarvanandamaya (universal happiness) sits Maha Tripura Sundari.

In the Sri Chakra are the following decorations viz., the square called Trilokya mohanam (most
beautiful in the three worlds), the sixteen petalled lotus called Sarvasa paripoorakamb(fulfiller of
all desires), the eight petalled lotus called Sarvasamksopanamb(the all cleanser), the sixteen corner
figure called Sarva sowbagyamb(all luck), the external ten cornered figure called Sarvartha
sadhakam (giver of all assets), the internal ten cornered figure called Sarva raksha karam (All
protector), the eight cornered figure called Sarva roka haram (cure of all diseases), triangle called
Sarva siddhi pradam (giver of all powers) and the dot called Sarvananda mayam(all pleasures).

The devas prayed to her to kill Bhandasura. When she started for the war with Bandasura, she was
accompanied by the powers called anima, mahima etc, Brahmi, Kaumari, Vaishnavi, Varahi,
Mahendri, Chamundi, Maha Lakshmi, Nitya Devathas and Avarna Devathas who occupy the Sri
Chakra. While Sampatkari devi was the captain of the elephant regiment, Aswarooda devi was the
captain of the cavalry. The army was commanded by Dhandini riding on the Charriot called Giri
Chakra assisted by Manthrini riding on the chariot called Geya Chakra. Jwala malini protected the
army by creating a fire ring around it. ParaShakthi rode in the center on the chariot of Sri Chakra.
Nithya Devi destroyed a large chunk of Bandasuras armies, Bala Devi killed the son of
Bandasura, and Manthrini and Dhandini killed his brothers called Vishanga and Vishukra.

When the Asuras created blockade for the marching army, Sri Lalitha Tripura sundari created
Ganesha with the help of Kameshwara to remove the blockade. Then Bandasura created the asuras
called Hiranyaksha, Hiranya Kasipu and Ravana. The Devi created the ten avatars of Vishnu and
destroyed them. She killed all his army using Pasupathastra and killed him with Kameshwarasthra.
The gods then praised her. She then recreated Manmatha for the good of the world. This story is
contained in the first 84 names of the first 34 slokas of Lalitha Sahasra nama and all together
contains one thousand names. This is also called the Rahasya Nama Sahasra (the thousand secret
names). Reading it, meditating on the meaning of the names, would lead to the fulfillment of all
the wishes of the devotees.

[Unlike Vishnu Sahasranamam, where phala sruthi is the part of the stotra, in the case of Laitha
Sahasranama, phala sruthi is the next chapter and separate from it. So it is not recited along with
the thousand names of Lalitha. It is as per the desire of a devotee that I am translating this great
work, which occurs in Markandeya Purana. It was taught by Sage Markandeya to Sage
Agasthya.]

(introduction)
By Sri P.R. Ramachander

Among the oldest books ever composed are the Vedas - the sacred books of Hindus. The word Sri Rudram occurs in Krishna Yajur Veda in the Samhitha of Taithireeya in the fourth

and death-less perennial dharmic (just) thought process].
There are several meanings to the word Rudra:
Vedas are believed to be birthless and the term originates from the word "vid" meaning
knowledge. Initially, the Vedas were not written down and the composers simply taught them to Ritam (dam) Samsaara dukham draava yat iti Rudrah.

different meanings. The great Sage Veda Vyasa is supposed to have edited this storehouse of Rodati Sarvamantakala

He divided it in to four books viz., Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Atharva Veda. Each
Veda is further sub divided in to Samhithas and Brahmanas. The appendices to Brahmanas are Ritou Naadaante dravati - draavayateeti Rudrah.
Aranyakas and the appendices to Aranyakas are Upanishads. Each of these has several sookthas The end note of the musical sound i.e. (Rudra).

Vedas. Ritya Vaagrupaya, vaakyam, prapayateeti Rudrah.
In the form of Speech, brings out the importance of the meaning of words i.e. (Rudra).
Though most of the Vedic Gods can be identified with Gods mentioned in the Puranas, the
importance ascribed to them differed very much in Vedas and Puranas. For example, the first Ritya Pranavarupaya svatmanam prayateeti Rudrah.

This Purusha is much greater, The spring was the ghee,


Than all his greatness in what all we see, The summer was the holy wooden sticks,
And all that we see in this universe is but his quarter, And the winter the sacrificial offering,
And the rest three quarters which is beyond destruction, Used or the sacrifice conducted by Devas through thought,
Is safely in the worlds beyond. In which they also sacrificed the ever-shining Purusha.

Above this world is three quarters of Purusha,
But the quarter, which is in this world, Seven meters were its boundaries,
Appears again and again, Twenty one principles were holy wooden sticks,
And from that is born the beings that take food, And Devas carried out the sacrifice,
And those inanimate ones that dont take food. And Brahma was made as the sacrificial cow.
And all these appeared for every one of us to see.

And created the earth and then, On that sacrificial fire.
The bodies of all beings. And the sacrifice was conducted further,
By the Devas called Sadyas,
And the sages who were there.

And the body of that fire, To Him who looks after the progeny,

durg sktam
(Vedic hymn of adoration to Goddess Durg)

English meaning courtesy of Sri P.R. Ramachander


www.celextel.org/vedichymns/durgasuktam.html

[This is a prayer to the fire God Agni occurring in the Mah Nryna Upanishad Maha Narayana
Upanishad. Durg is used here as a word for difficult problems in almost all the stanzas. The
salutation to Durg is given only in the second stanza. However, most consider this as prayer to
Goddess Durga for removing all obstacles and evils (both inner and outer).]

Our oblations of Soma to the fire god,
May he, the all knowing one destroy all those who do not like us, I take refuge in the divine mother Durga*,
May that divine fire lead us out of all perils, Who shines like a fire due to her penances,
Like a captain takes his boat across the sea, Who resides in actions and their fruits and makes them effective,
And also save us from all wrongs. And I salute her who helps us cross our difficulties.
* It could be translated as Mother of difficulties also

May the land for growing crops become large, Which are olden and those which are new,
And be pleased to join our children and, Please make us, who are only yourself, happy,
Their children with joy and happiness. And grant us good fortune from all our sides.

Who always bestows salvation, Who sparkles like the just risen sun,
Who wears a part of moon on his head, Who is saluted by Gods and Asuras,
Who protects this world which is varied, Who destroys obstacles of his devotees,
Who is the Leader of those who cannot be lead, Who is the God of all devas,
Who is the cause of destruction of asuras, Who is the God of all wealth,
And who destroys all things which are not good. Who is the God of all elephants,
And Who is the Leader of the army of Lord Shiva.

Who has an elephant-face which blesses, Who eats away the pride of the enemies of the gods,
And who is the One who shows kindness, Who is awesome at the time of final deluge,
Who is patient, Who wears serpents like Dananjaya as ornaments,

And who showers great fame,
To those who salute Him.

I always meditate only on that God with the single tusk,


Whose ever lustrous tusk is very pretty,
Who is the son of the Lord (Siva) who killed the god of death (yama),
Who has a form beyond ones imagination,
Who is endless,
Who tears asunder all obstacles,
And who dwells forever in the heart of Yogis ,

(introduction)
(Praise of Divine Mother as mahish-sura mardini -
slayer of the demon - mahish-suran)

By Sri P.R. Ramachander

This very popular stotram of Goddess Durga is thought to have been written by Rmakrishna
Kavi. Nothing is known about the author. The great Tnli Rman was known as Ramakrishna
Kavi and he was a great Bakthar of Durga. Due to its very poetic nature and repetition of words in
the same stanza with different nuances, this is extremely difficult to translate. I have used the one
incomplete translation available in the web (sanskrit.gde.to/doc_devii/mahisha_mean.itx) as well
as the recent great translation by Sri S. N. Sastry of Madras which has been posted in celextel.org.

Oh darling daughter of the mountain, Oh darling daughter of the mountain,
Oh goddess, who wears yellow silks on her waist, Oh Goddess, whose splendour,
Which has peculiar brilliance, Defeats the Sun with his thousand rays
That puts the moon to shame, Oh Goddess, who is saluted by the Sun,
Oh goddess, whose toe nails shine like the moon, Who has thousands of rays,
Because of the reflection of the light, Oh Goddess who was praised,
From the crowns of Gods and asuras who bow at her feet, By Tharakasura after his defeat,
Oh Goddess whose breasts which challenge, In the war between him and your son,
The forehead of elephants and the peaks of golden mountains, Oh Goddess who was pleased with King Suratha,
Oh Goddess who has captivating braided hair, And the rich merchant called Samadhi,
Who is the daughter of a mountain. Who entered in to Samadhi,
And who is the slayer of Mahishasura. And who prayed for endless Samadhi,
Oh Goddess who has captivating braided hair,
Who is the daughter of a mountain.
And who is the slayer of Mahishasura.

And who is auspiciousness itself, He who sprinkles the water of the ocean,
He who worships thine lotus feet, Taken in a golden pot, on your play ground,
Daily without fail, Oh Goddess will get the same pleasure,
Would for sure be endowed with wealth, Like the Indra in heaven, when he fondles,
By that Goddess who lives on lotus, The pot like breasts of his wife Suchi,
And if I consider thine feet as only refuge, So I take refuge in thine feet Oh Goddess,
Is there anything that I will not get, Which is also place where Shiva resides,

Why do we do rathi? We have seen and participated in this ritual from our childhood. Let us find out why
we do the aarati?
By Swami Chinmayananda
Having worshipped the Lord of love - performing abhisheka, decorating the image
and offering fruits and delicacies, we see the beauty of the Lord in all His glory. Our
minds are focussed on each limb of the Lord as it is lit up by the lamp. It is akin to
silent open-eyed meditation on His beauty. The singing, clapping, ringing of the bell
etc. denote the joy and auspiciousness which accompanies the vision of the Lord.
Aarati is often performed with camphor. This holds a telling spiritual significance.
Camphor when lit, burns itself out completely without leaving a trace of it. It
represents our inherent tendencies (vaasanas). When lit by the fire of knowledge
which illumines the Lord (Truth), our vaasanas thereafter burn themselves out
completely, not leaving a trace of ego which creates in us a sense of individuality that
keeps us separate from the Lord. Also while camphor burns to reveal the glory of
Lord, it emits a pleasant perfume even while it sacrifices itself. In our spiritual
progress, even as we serve the guru and society, we should willingly sacrifice
ourselves and all we have, to spread the "perfume" of love to all. We often wait a long
while to see the illumined Lord but when the aarati is actually performed, our eyes
(Pictorial by M.B. Publishers, Chennai) close automatically as if to look within. This is to signify that each of us is a temple of
the Lord.
Towards the end of every ritualistic worship (pooja or bhajan) of the Lord or to welcome an Just as the priest reveals the form of the Lord clearly with the aarati flame, so too the
honoured guest or saint, we perform the aarathi. This is always accompanied by the ringing of the guru reveals to us the divinity within each of us with the help of the "flame" of

hands over the flame and then touch our eyes and the top of the head. It means - may
It is one of the sixteen steps (shodasha upachaara) of the pooja ritual. Aarathi is referred to as the the light that illuminated the Lord light up my vision; may my vision be divine and

light up the Lord with the flame of the aarati, we turn our attention to the very source of all light
which symbolises knowledge and life.

Also the sun is the presiding deity of the intellect, the moon, that of the mind, and fire, that of
speech. The Lord is the supreme consciousness that illuminates all of them. Without Him, the
intellect cannot think, nor can the mind feel nor the tongue speak. The Lord is beyond the mind,
intellect and speech. How can these finite equipment illuminate the Lord? Therefore, as we
perform the aarati we chant:

Na tatra suryo bhaati na chandra taarakam


Nemaa vidyuto bhaanti kutoyamagnib
Tameva bhaantam anubhaati sarvam
Tasya bhasa sarvam idam vibhaati

He is there where the sun does not shine,


Nor the moon, stars and lightning.
then what to talk of this small flame (in my hand),
Everything (in the universe) shines only after the Lord,
And by His light alone are we all illumined.
