Hi all.....Well, I recently recieved a request from one of the HF members....to post Slokas on the Spirituality thread......So I thought it would be a good idea to get started......
Well, let me point out that by SLOKAS, here, I mean....the small 4-lined....8-lined verses in praise of various Gods/Goddesses......The long...Big ones....with many stanzas will be referred to as "STOTRAS" (Atleast as far as this thread is concerned..) Most of the Slokas and Stotras in hinduism are Sanskrit based, though there are also Slokas in other Indian languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Tamil etc. So...starting off on this thread...All of you are welcome to add your valuable inputs....Later on, if the thread starts expanding, we can create seperate thread for different Gods etc... Some Slokas on Lord Ganesha 1. VAKRATUNDA MAHAAKAAYA SOORYAKOTI SAMAPRABHA NIRVIGHNAM KURUMEDEVA SARVAKAARYESHU SARVADA 2. GAJAANANAM BOOTHA GANAATHI SEVITAM KAPITTHA JAMBOOPHALA SAARA PAKSHITAM UMA SUTAM SHOKA-VINAASHA KAARANAM NAMAAMI VIGHNESHWARA PAADA PANKAJAM 3.

Wow!!! Nimmi-the linguist!!! Nice to know that I started off with your IshtaDevta..... Well, so you studied Sanskrit as your second language??? Woww!!! That's really great.......Well, I had studied Sanskrit (the basics) for the last three years of my schooling....but we didn't have "Slokas" in the syllabus......it was more of Poetry-based on diff. topics....philosophy......riddles etc. Very less of "Slokas" within the lessons...... Do teach me some good Sanskrit.......Start off with putting up your slokas!!!
Love Music....... LOVE GK

Hey folks, let me make a BIG request here please:
Whoever uploads a shloak should also give its meaning (like Nimii is doing). Hopefully, line for line (and if necessary, the gist). Not only will that help us understand the full shloak, but also what each line means. Is that a practical request? Self - belief is the most potent force.

Continuing on the Lord Ganesha Theme......I'm attaching a wonderful Stotra on him - called "SHREE GANAPATI STOTRAM"....written by the famous Narad Muni.....from the Naarada Purana.....It contains the 12 special names (Dwaadasha naamam) of Ganapati......and reciting this sloka is said to be really
special and auspicious...And said to remove all obstacles from your path....And is said to be really beneficial for Children ("Students" of any age)-For studies; Acquiring of Wealth; begetting Children for child-less couple and Welfare and Moksha......(These 'benefits' are mentioned in the latter part of the Stotra itself...... SHREE GANAPATI STOTRAM OM SHREE GANESHAAYA NAMAH || NAARADA UVAACHA || PRANAMYA SHIRASA DEVAM | GAURI PUTRAM VINAAYAKAM || BHAKTAAVAASAM SMAREN-NITYAM | AAYUH-KAAMAARTHA SIDHHAYE || PRATHAMAM VAKRATUNDAMCHA| EKADANTAM DWITEEYAKAM|| TRUTEEYAM KRISHNA-PINGAAKSHAM| GAJAVAKTRAM CHATHURTHATHAM|| LAMBODARAM PANCHAMAMCHA| SHASHTAM VIKATAMEVACHA|| SAPTAMAM VIGHNA-RAAJENDRAM| DHOOMRAVARNAM THATHA-ASHTAMAM|| NAVAMAM BHAALA-CHANDRAMCHA| DASHAMAM TU VINAAYAKAM|| EKAADASHAM GANAPATIM| DWAADASHAM TU GAJAANANAM|| DWAADASAITAANI NAAMAANI| TRISANDHYAM YAH PATTHEN-NARAHA|| NA CHA VIGHNA-BHAYAM TASYA| SARVA SIDDHI KARAM PRABHO|| VIDHYAARTHI LABHATE VIDHYAAN -- DHANAARTHI LABHATE DHANAM|| PUTRAARTHI LABHATE PUTRAAN -- MOKSHAARTHI LABHATE GATIM|| JAPET GANAPATI STOTRAM| SHAD-BHIRMA-SAINHI-PHALAM LABHET|| SAMVATSARENA SIDDHIMCHA| LABHATE NAA-TRA SAMSHAYAHA|| ASHTABHYO BRAAHMANE-BHYASHCHA -- LIKHITVAAYAH SAMARPAYET| TASYA VIDYAA BHAVET-SARVAH -- GANESHASYA PRASAADATAHA|| || ITI SHREE NARADA PURANAY -- SANKASHTA-NAASHANAM -- NAAMA SHREE GANAPATI STOTRAM -- SAMPOORNAM || I'm attaching a file below......from the Album "VISHWA VINAAYAKA", where this Stotra has been rendered by S.P.Balasubramaniam, with three sets of Chorus - Children, Ladies and Gents respectively.....and the whole Song/Stotra in the backdrop of Symphony Orchestra music (Composed by Ajay-Atul). The album was released about 2 years ago (A TIMES MUSIC Presentation). The audio is really good quality, and the Stotra has been recited in a very CLEAR and PERFECT manner (the pronounciations etc.) and will help you learn the Stotra very quickly....Also......the music is Sooooo wonderful.....it'll grow on you....and you'ld enjoy hearing it again and again.....and will get the Stotra by-heart within no time!!! ALL THE BEST!!! PS:- I hope not to raise any issues of the Year of release again.....but seeing some uploads in the Classical section (Classical Fusion albums such as "Naina Pyaase" by Rashid Khan etc. - 2003 release)..I was only TOOO tempted to upload this wonderful Stotra......(Now.....if you say "Naina Pyaase" album...has songs of Amir Khusro etc.....Hence OLD creations...then.....This Stotra is written by NAARAD MUNI!!! ) And I've uploaded it only to Aid you in getting the Stotra perfecty.......Hope No issues are raised again....God Forbid....if it happens....I'll have to delete the attachment...and PM it to all those who need it..... Meaning will be given in next post....as this has got too long.... Love Music....... LOVE GK
