TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM……….1 Body is
handsome, wife is attractive, fame spread far and wide, wealth enormous and
stable like Mount Meru; but of what consequence are all these, if the mind is
not riveted in devotion to the lotus feet of Guru? Really of what use is all
this, what use, what use?

TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM……….2 Wife,
wealth, son, grandson, and the like, house, relations, even if all these are
there fate is certain, of what consequence is one’s life if his mind is not
devoted to the feet of Guru? Ascertain, what use is any possession, person or
object? Of what use, of what use, of what use indeed?

MANASCHE NA LAGNAM GURO RANGHRI PADME,
TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM……….3 All the
Vedas are mastered and ever present on the lips; likewise, knowledge of all the
sciences is well gained. The ability to write prose or verse is also present.
Even then, of what ultimate benefit is all this, if one’s mind does not
devoutly rest on the feet of Guru? By whose grace along can one’s soul be
liberated? Of what use, of what use, of what use indeed?

MANASCHE NA LAGNAM GURO RANGHRI PADME,
TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM……….4 I am
honoured well even in far off places, held in high esteem in my own locality;
in good conduct and noble deeds there is no one to excel me. If one has
occasion to think like this, of what avail is it if the mind is not steeped in
devotion and humility towards the feet of the Guru from whom alone can flow
wisdom and immortality?

MANASCHE NA LAGNAM GURO RANGHRI PADME,
TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM……….5 Your feet
may be worshipped constantly even by the great kings and emperors of the world
for reason of your greatness and scholarship; but of what real consequence is
that if the mind is not graced by the blessing of unflinching devotion to the
Guru, by whose loving ‘touch’ alone can redemption and peace be realized?

MANASCHE NA LAGNAM GURO RANGHRI PADME,
TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM……….6 Of what
avail if one has enough merits to think my fame has already spread in several
places due to my unique generosity and a result, all things of the world stand
within my easy reach? For, the virtue and quality that count ultimately is only
one’s unflinching loyalty and devotion towards the Guru whose blessings are the
ultimate factor for realization of Truth by a devoted seeker.

MANASCHE NA LAGNAM GURO RANGHRI PADME,
TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM……….7 The mind
may have turned away from external delights through dispassion and from
attainments like Yogic concentration, possessions like horses and the like, the
enchanting face of the beloved, in short, the entire wealth of the earth; yet
it will be of no real merit if the mind is not absorbed in piety and devotion
to the feet of Guru. Bereft of this devotion, of what benefit is anything, of
what benefit, of what benefit?

TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM……….8 Even if I
find in my possession precious stones or pearls and well decorated and dressed
lovable bride, yet if my mind is not absorbed in devotion to the lotus feet of
the Guru, of what use is any other possession?
(Another version of Shloka no.8 :- ARANYE NA VAA SVASYA GEHE NA KAARYE
NA DEHE MANO VARTATE ME TVANARGYE
MANASCHE NA LAGNAM GURO RANGHRI PADME,
TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM, TATAH KIM……….8 The mind
may have lost its charm to live in forests, and likewise in the house; may have
lost all desire to achieve whatever; even the concern for the body’s welfare
may have been outlived; the most invaluable treasure of the world may not hold
any allurement. Even then, of what avail are all these if the supreme devotion to
the Guru is not held by the aspirant? Determine, of what use? of what use?

Ние се молим на Господ Шива, чиито очи са Слънцето, Луната и Огъня. Нека Той ни предпазва от всички болести, бедност и страх И да ни благослови с благоденствие, дълголетие и добро здраве
Maha Mrityunjaya мантра, заедно с Гаятри мантра, е една от най-широко известните мантри в съвременния индуизъм . Наричат я още Mahamoksha мантра – Велико Просвещение или Tryambakam мантра по стих на Rigveda ( RV 7.59.12).
Ние се покланяме на Шива – Трите очи (tryambakam) на Бога (yajamahe); Който е аромат (sugandhim) и подхранва (pushti), и нараства (vardhanam) всички хора. Тъй както узрелият плод (urvarukamiva) се освобождава (bandhanaan) (с намесата на „градинаря“) от робството на пълзящото растение, когато е напълно узрял; Нека Той освободи нас (mokshiya) от смъртта (mrityor), в името на безсмъртието (maamritaat). Бог Шива, нарича tryambakam - този с трите очи, тъй като третото му око е „отворено“ чрез силата на покаянието и медитацията. Третото око се казва, че се намира между веждите и се „отваря“, когато се достигне духовно пробуждане. Така че, когато ние се молим на Господ Шива, ние по същество искаме неговата благословия и помощ в отварянето на нашата третото око на духовното познание. Естественият резултат от това пробуждане е, че ние вървим към духовно освобождение или moksha и постигане на свобода от цикъла на смъртта или прераждането. Целта на пеенето на тази мантра е духовното „съзряване“, така че Бог Шива да може да ни освободи от робството на всички материални неща, които ни обвързват!
Аз съм този, когото го няма.Този, когото го няма - това съм Аз. Този, който е вътре в човека - това съм Аз. Това, което е видимо - е природата. А това, което е вътре в природата - това съм Аз. Това, което може да се чуе – това е словото. Това, което е вътре в словото – това съм Аз...
Мантрата
на състраданието ОМ МАНИ ПАДМЕ ХУМ е дадена от Авалокитешвара и
превъплъщава състраданието и благодатта на всички буди и бодхисатви.
Шестте
срички пречистват напълно шестте отровни отцателни емоции, които са
проявленията на неведението и които ни карат действаме отрицателно с тялото, с
речта и ума си и така създават самсара и нашите страдания в нея.
Гордостта,
завистта, желанието, неведението, алчността и гневът се променят чрез тази
мантра и приемат същинската природа.
Когато
произнасяме мантрата ОМ МАНИ ПАДМЕ ХУМ, шестте отрицателни емоции, които са
причина за съществуването на шестте сфери на самсара, се пречистват. ОМ МАНИ
ПАДМЕ ХУМ ни дава силна защита срещу всякакви отрицателни влияния и
болести.
