The Dhyaanaslokam for Hemambika or Emooramman of Sekharipuram

 

The Dhyaanaslokam for Hemambika or Emooramman of Sekharipuram

शङ्खं चक्रमसिं च चर्मसशरम् चापं गदा शूलकम्
बिभ्राणां वरदाभयामृतघटान् रत्नौघपात्रं तथा।
भूषापिर्मकुटादिभिः त्रिनयनां अम्बां परां देवताम्
ध्यायेत् चन्द्रकलाधरां सुरगणैरीढ्यां जगन्मङ्गलाम्॥
हेमाम्बिका देव्याः ध्यानम्

śaṅkhaṁ cakramasiṁ ca carmasaśaram cāpaṁ gadā śūlakam
bibhrāṇāṁ varadābhayāmṛtaghaṭān ratnaughapātraṁ tathā|
bhūṣāpirmakuṭādibhiḥ trinayanāṁ ambāṁ parāṁ devatām
dhyāyet candrakalādharāṁ suragaṇairīḍhyāṁ jaganmaṅgalām||
hemāmbikā devyāḥ dhyānam

Let us meditate on that Divine Mother, Paradevata
who brings welfare (Mangalam) to the whole universe
who is ever praised by all the divine beings gathered around her.
who wields in her hands Conch, Discus, Sword, Quiver (the bag made of leather which is full of arrows), a bow, a mace,a trident (shooolam), sports Varada and Abhaya mudras, carries a pot filled with nectar(Amrutham), and a (drinking)vessel made of gems, who is decorated with all ornaments and most beautiful headgear, who has three eyes, and who wears the crescent of moon in her hair..

നമുക്ക് ആ പരദേവതയായ അംബയെ ധ്യാനിക്കാം.
അവള്‍ ലോകത്തിനു മുഴുവന്‍ മംഗളം അരുളുന്നു.
അവളുടെ സന്നിധിയില്‍ തിങ്ങിക്കൂടിയ ദേവന്മാര്‍ അവളെ എപ്പോഴും പുകഴ്ത്തിക്കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നു.

കരങ്ങളില്‍ ശങ്ഖം, ചക്രം, വാള്‍,അമ്പുകള്‍ നിറച്ച ആവനാഴി, വില്ല്, ഗദ,ശൂലം, വരദമുദ്ര അഭയമുദ്ര, അമൃത കലശം, രത്നനിര്‍മ്മിതമായ പാത്രം എന്നിവ ധരിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.

അവള്‍ സര്‍വാഭരണഭൂഷിതയാണ്.

ഏറ്റവും ഭംഗിയേറിയ അലങ്കാരത്തോടുകൂടിയതാണ് അവളുടെ ശിരസ്സ്‌..

സൂര്യന്‍, ചന്ദ്രന്‍, അഗ്നി എന്ന) മൂന്നു കണ്ണുകളോടെ പ്രകാശിക്കുന്ന അവള്‍ മുടിയില്‍ ചന്ദ്രക്കല ചൂടിയിരിക്കുന്നു.

സ്മരണോപഹാരം

സ്മരണോപഹാരം 

"ഓം ഗണാനാം ത്വാ ഗണപതിം ഹവാമഹെ
      കവിം കവീനാം ഉപമശ്രവസ്തമം
ജ്യേഷ്ടരാജം ബ്രാഹ്മണാം ബ്രാഹ്മണസ്പദ
ആന: ശ്രുണ്വന്നൂതിഭി: സീദ സാദനം ".

ന ജായതേ മൃയതെ വാ കദാചിത്
നായം ഭൂത്വാ ഭവിതാ വാപി ഭുയഃ 
അജോ നിത്യഃ ശാശ്വതോയം പുരാണ
ന ഹന്യതേ ഹന്യമാനേ ശരീരേ 

ന കര്‍മ്മണാ ന പ്രജയാ ധനേന
ത്യാഗേനൈകെ അമൃതത്വമാനശുഃ


നമ്മുടെയെല്ലാം അകമഴിഞ്ഞ സ്നേഹത്തിനും ബഹുമാനത്തിനും പാത്രമായിരുന്ന 
ബ്രഹ്മശ്രീ കൃഷ്ണ അയ്യര്‍
ദിവംഗതനായിരിക്കുന്നു..

പക്ഷെ അദ്ദേഹം ശരീരം കൊണ്ട് മാത്രം നമ്മെ പിരിഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നുവെങ്കിലും ഒരിക്കലും അദ്ദേഹത്തിനു നമ്മെ വിട്ടുപോകാന്‍ കഴിയില്ല..

സ്വന്തം കുഞ്ഞിനെയെന്നപോലെ നമ്മുടെ മഹാഗണപതിയെ സ്നേഹിച്ചു നോക്കിവന്ന,
നമ്മുടെ സമൂഹത്തിന്റെ എല്ലാ കാര്യങ്ങളിലും


അര നൂറ്റാണ്ടിലേറെയായി നമ്മെ നയിച്ചിരുന്ന അദ്ദേഹത്തിന് നമ്മെ വിട്ടുപോകാന്‍ സാധിക്കില്ല..

ആ പുണ്യാത്മാവ് ശിവലോകത്തിലേക്കു വിരമിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു..
അവിടേയിരുന്നുകൊണ്ട് നമ്മെ നയിക്കാന്‍..
അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്നു മരണമില്ല..

ഭഗവാന്റെ സേവനം കൊണ്ട് ധന്യനായ അദ്ദേഹം അമരനായിരിക്കുന്നു

പ്രായഭേദമന്യേ നമ്മുടെ സമൂഹത്തിലെ എല്ലാവര്‍ക്കും അദ്ദേഹം ഒരു സുഹൃത്തായിരുന്നു.

സംഭവാമി യുഗേ യുഗേ എന്ന് ഗിതയില്‍ ഭഗവാന്‍ പറഞ്ഞപോലെ ഇതുപോലെയുള്ള മഹദ് വ്യക്തിത്വങ്ങള്‍ വല്ലപ്പോഴുമേ ജന്മം കൊള്ളുകയുള്ളൂ..

പൂര്‍ണവും ധന്യവുമായ ആ ജീവിതം കൊണ്ട് അദ്ദേഹം നമുക്കെല്ലാവര്‍ക്കും വഴികാണിച്ചു..
കര്‍മ്മോത്സുകതയുടെ നിറവില്‍ നിന്നുകൊണ്ടു തന്നെ അദ്ദേഹം വിടവാങ്ങി.

ആ വേര്‍പാട് അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ കുടുംബത്തിന് തീരാനഷ്ടമാണ്.

അതേസമയം ഈ സമൂഹത്തിലെ എല്ലാവരും തുല്യ ദുഖിതരനാണ്.. 
ഒട്ടും അതിശയോക്തി ഇല്ലാതെ തന്നെ.

ആ സ്മരണക്കു മുന്നില്‍ നാം എല്ലാവരും പ്രണാമങ്ങള്‍ അര്‍പ്പിക്കുന്നു.
അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ പുണ്യാത്മാവിനു ബഹമാനപൂര്‍വ്വം നന്ദി പറയുന്നു.


അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ സഹധര്‍മ്മിണിയോടും പുത്രപൌത്രാദികളോടും സമൂഹത്തിന്റെ അനുശോചനം സ്വീകരിക്കാന്‍ അപേക്ഷിക്കുന്നു.

അദ്ദേഹം വിട്ടുപോയ വഴിയില്‍ സമൂഹത്തെ മുന്നോട്ടു നയിക്കാന്‍ അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ കുടുംബത്തെ സാദരം ക്ഷണിക്കുന്നു.

പ്രണാമം.

ശ്രീ മഹാഗണപതി നമ്മെയെല്ലാം ശരിയായ പാതയില്‍ നയിക്കട്ടെ എന്നു പ്രാര്‍ഥിച്ചു കൊള്ളുന്നു..

shri N P Krishna Iyer was a leading figure in our agraharam life and he passed away at the ripe age of 88 years on 26 th August 2015..A blessed soul.. The loss is ours..

the dhyanaslokam of our Lakshminarayanaswamy


the dhyanaslokam of  our Lakshminarayanaswamy

I meditate upon Narayana, who is the Lord and consort of Mother Lakshmi,
He, who sits on a golden throne placed in a decorated hall shining forth in the middle of the ocean of milk
He, who has a calm and attractive face,
He, who is under the passionate embrace of the Goddess of Wealth sitting on his left thigh,
He, who holds a conch, a lotus flower, a mace and discus on the two pairs of left and right hands, He, who is capable of enabling us, His devotees to keep afloat and cross the ocean of our own worldly woes

bare bust



my senior friend and mentor Siva mama was writing about moving about the street with bare body...

I galloped on the horseback of my imagination in the reverse direction. 

Even today I present myself in the agraharam with open upper torso.. After bath and sandhyavandhanam, I walk upto the Ganapathy temple nearby, with a dhothi and an angavastram tied round the hip, the face and body adorned only in Vibhooti, painted all over like perhaps the stripes in the body of a tiger..and with a three into three poonal.. 

But most of us in our agraharam do that even these days


I am remembering about my childhood.. No dress of any kind up to about three years.. Running along the streets in birthday clothes was natural for small boys. No one saw anything amiss.. Girls of that age might wear some sort of gown. 

Then we get introduced to what is called Valli. or slinged trousers or knickers.. Two cylinders of clothes of any size stiched together and two long tapes of clothes attched to the two cylinders... the cylindrical part to be slipped in with the legs and the tapes to be adjusted on the shoulders.. and sometimes there will be an opening in the front portion of the two cylinders meeting in the front, and some cloth button and a hole to secure it would be provided.. We would slip into the trousers and run along the streets, often forgetting to close the "Post Office" and some strict eyes would catch us an give warning that if the post office is not closed, the crow will take away the contents..

Then when we reach third or fourth standard, the Valli of the Knicker would be an embarrassment.. So the bands would be removed, and the knicker would be secured around the hip with aranakkayaru, or even poonal.. 

Every boy would have one or two shirts, to be used only if they are to go to school, or if they are going outside the boundary of the village..

In our Sekharipuram.. there was one tailor, whom we called Thaadi.. because he sported a long white beard (his name was subramanian pillai, I came to know much later) and his trouser measurement for all would be the same.. So also the shirts..If anyone complains, Thaadi will say that the boy is growing.. so it is always good to make big shirts and trousers.. The whole material would be coarse cotton..;Black, Brown or Blue for trouser and relatively less coarse white or striped cloth for shirts.

The boys would beg Thaadi to provide two big pockets to the trouser. and additional ones if possible (the second request would be refused). |
they can store ghotti(marbles), pambaram(tops), nellikkai(Amla berries), small mangoes, some eatables.. all in these pockets..
And one boy just picking the sumptuously filled pocket of another was a usual incident. 

This would lead to quarrels and fist fights.. 
But quarrels would be settled between friends.. If the complaints reach any elders, both will get only some slaps in the buttocks.. and to give slaps, the elders need not be your parents.. any mama or mami, anna or akka of the village will do that and there will be no issue.. 

I remember I started wearing shirts on a regular basis only when I was eighteen or nineteen and wore a pair of chappals and pants when I appeared for interview as an Inspector of Income-tax..

chanting Vishnu Sahasranamam

One mantram on which I have thorough and absolute initiation is Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam..
I can call five persons as my Guru..
Some boys of our agraharam, below the age ten, would be chased by three old men all in their seventies, and forced to sit in the praakaaram after the Garuda Mandapam of our Sekharipuram Lakshminarayanaswamy temple at 6-30 in the evening after the first Deeparadhana and we would be asked to accompany the elders in chanting Sahasranamam..
One was a Swaminatha Mama, One my own maternal Grandfather and another equally respected thatha.. whose name I am not able to recollect now, but his pious and simple form lingers before my eyes.
Then there will the Perumal and His Madam and Garuda Azhvar also listening..
(the Divine Couple Lakminarayana, Garuda Azhwar and the three elderly thathas were my five gurus)
If there are two dozen boys loitering in the street running around two or three would be caught, asked to wash legs and face, wear Vibhoothi and sit with the elders..
Initially, it was a torture and I could not utter any name properly..
But within a few days, the beauty of the names with its rhythm and sacredness percolated gradually into my mind..
So it is almost for sixty two years that I am under the spell of Vishvam Vishnur Vashatakaaro...
Someone who did not understand Vishnusahasranamam and its beauty was asking me the other day while I was chanting..

"After Wishing someone, and shouting at someone, you start calling bhoothams.. Are you trying to do some black magic?"
विश्वं विष्णुर् वषट् कारो भूत भव्य भवत् प्रभुः भूत कृत भूतभृत भावो भूतात्मा भ्प भूत भावनः पूतात्रमा पमात्मा च ... so many bhoothams ?
I can only reply..
एको विष्णुर् महत् भूतं पृथक् भूतानि अनेकशः त्रीन लोकान् व्याप्य भूतात्मा भुङ्ग्ते विश्वभुक् अव्ययः
Krishna the Vishnu is the Bhootham of immense dimensions, imposing size, that has encompassed all the other Bhoothams or beings of all variety, has spread over the entire Universe, and standing there is witnessing and enjoying everything.
स भूमिम् विश्वतो वृत्वा अत्यतिष्टत् दशाङ्गुलं.
Love you Sweet Krishna

ours only..


ഭൌരാജസ്വരൂപിക്കു  ജയ്‌   

ഇത് 
ശരിയാണെന്നു തോന്നുന്നില്ല... ചിലര്‍ പറയുന്നു

 ഭൌരാജേശ്വരിക്ക് ജയ്.. 

ഇതിന്നു എന്താണര്‍ത്ഥം ? പിന്നെയും മനസ്സിലാവുന്നില്ല..
പക്ഷെ ഇത് ഞങ്ങളുടെ ശേഖരിപുരം അഗ്രഹാരത്തിന്‍റെ എല്ലാമെല്ലാമായ ലക്ഷ്മിനാരയണസ്വാമി എഴുന്നെള്ളുന്ന സന്ദര്‍ഭങ്ങളില്‍ ഞങ്ങളുടെ നാവില്‍നിന്നെല്ലാം ഉയരുന്ന സ്തുതിവാക്യമാണ്..

 അര്‍ഥം അറിയില്ല എങ്കിലും ഭഗവാന്‍റെ തിരുമുമ്പില്‍ ഉരുവിടുന്ന ഒരു ഭക്തിമന്ത്രം

പിന്നെയും ഞങ്ങള്‍ ഉരുവിടും

ശ്രീ ലക്ഷ്മിനാരയണസ്വാമിക്ക്.. ജയ്‌

ദേവദേവോത്തമാ.. ദേവതാ സാര്‍വഭൌമാ

അഖിലാണ്ഡകോടി ബ്രഹ്മാണ്ഡ നായകാ .. ജയ വിജയീഭവ

സ്വാമി ഹെച്ചരിക പുരേ .. ജയ്‌


“Bhouraaja swaroopikku jai…”  
I do not think this is the right version


Some say it is
Bhowrajeswarikku  jai..

What does this mean? 
Again difficult to understand
But this is a slogan with great devotion that raises from our vocal chords as the lord and master of our Sekharipuram Agraharam  Our Lakshminarayananaswamy  is  taking his Royal rounds along the streets during festival

We also chant

Lakshminarayanaswamikku.. jai

Devadevottamaa.. devataa saarvabhauma

Akhilandakoti brahmaanda naayakaa.. jaya vijayeebhava
