Food For Thought
Om - 

“OM - This Imperishable Word is the whole of this visible universe. Its explanation is as
follows: What has become, what is becoming, what will become – verily, all of this is
OM. And what is beyond these three states of the world of time – that too, verily, is
OM.”
Māndūkya Upanishad, Verse 1

“Om is not merely a chant or a recitation, a word or a part of human language but it is
something more than all this. It is something which exists not because it has a reference
to anything else, but because it is something by itself. We do not create Om by a
chanting of it, but we only produce a vibration sympathetic with the vibration that is
already there by its own right and which is called Om. Om is a cosmic vibration. It is not
a chant made by us, created by us or initiated by us. Why do we chant Om? To establish
a connection between ourselves and that which exists by its own right and which
manifests itself as a sound-vibration in the form of Om.”
Swami Krishṇānanda
Mantras

A mantra is a sacred syllable, word or verse, which is believed to have been revealed to
the ancient rishis during deep meditation. When recited with devotion, concentration,
and understanding, a mantra revitalizes the body and mind with metaphysical power. It
is through prayer that one purifies his or her mind and gains spiritual strength.

Bhajans

When the Divine Name is sung by one self or in a group of aspirants, this is known as
Bhajan. Either the repetition of the deities’ names or a description of their deeds can
constitute a Bhajan. The singing of Bhajans is said to include three different aspects –
rāga (melody), tāla (rhythm), and bhāva (emotion). When all three are combined,
genuine devotion through music is produced. Singing Bhajans is a powerful and unique
method of recharging the subconscious with spiritual vibrations.

Singing Bhajans as a communal effort is a sacred devotional exercise. With several


people singing about the Divine, the overall atmosphere is enveloped with positive,
auspicious vibrations. All individuals partaking in this sacred act not only contribute to
this environment, but also benefit from the serenity and uplifting ambiance.

He is a true devotee of God who understands the

those in need, his mind does not become boastful
Ek Yahi Mera Bandhan of his action. He bows down in respect to the whole
Mera Jeevan Teri Sharan (2x) world, and never talks ill of or looks down upon
others. His speech, actions and mind are firm and
Avirat Raha Bhatakta Ab Tak unswerving. His mother is worthy of praise for
Bhatkun Aur Abhi Mein Kab Tak having borne him. Endowed with same sightedness
and having renounced desires, he views other
Paa Lu Kewal Tujko Hi Maa women as his own mother. He never speaks
Ek Yeh Hi Hai Meri Lagan untruth, nor do his hands touch the wealth of
Mera Jivan Teri Sharan others. Free from attachment and delusion, his
mind is always anchored in dispassion. Always
Tere Charano Par Hun Arpan repeating the name of God, He himself is the
Mere Jeevan Ke Guna Avagun embodiment of all holy places. Devoid of greed and
cunningness, his mind is free from desire and anger.
Sari Vyathaye Dur Karo Maa Says Narasimha: Even the sigh of such a person is
enough to bring blessedness and liberation to
Ho Kusimit Mera Nandan
seventy-one generations.

Hanumān Chalisa
Shree Guru Charan Saroj Raj, After cleansing the mirror of my mind with the pollen dust of holy
Nijamanu Mukuru Sudhaari Guru's Lotus feet. I Profess the pure, untainted glory of Shrī
Barnau Raghubar Bimal Jasu, Raghuvar which bestows the four-fold fruits of life.(Dharma, Artha,
Kama and Moksha). Fully aware of the deficiency of my intelligence,
Jo Daayeku Fala Chaari
I concentrate my attention on Pavan Kumar and humbly ask for
Buddhiheen Tanu Jaanike, strength, intelligence and true knowledge to relieve me of all
Sumirau Pavan Kumaar blemishes, causing pain.
Bala Buddhi Bidya Dehu Mohe,
Harahu Kales Bikaar
Victory to Thee, O'Hanumān, ocean of wisdom. All hail You O'Kapisa!
Your glory illuminates all the three worlds. You are the divine
Jai Hanumān Jñan Gun Sagar messenger of Shrī Rām. The repository of immeasurable strength,
Jai Kapis Teehun Lok Ujagar though known only as Son of Pavan (Wind), born of Anjani. With
Raamdoot Atulit Bal Dhaama Limbs as sturdy as Vajra (The mace of God Indra) You are valiant and
Anjani Putra Pavansut Naama brave. On You attends good Sense and Wisdom. You dispel the
Mahabir Bikram Bajrangi darkness of evil thoughts. Your physique is beautiful golden coloured
and Your dress is pretty. You wear ear rings and have long curly hair.
Kumati Nivaar Sumati Ke Sangi
You carry in Your hand a lightning bolt along with a victory (kesari)
Kanchan Baran Biraaj Subesa flag and wear the sacred thread on Your shoulder.
Kaanan Kundal Kunchit Kesa
Haath Bajra O Dhwaja Biraaje
Kaandhe Moonj Janeu Saaje As a descendant of Lord Sankar, You are a comfort and pride of Shrī
Kesari. With the lustre of Your Vast Sway, You are propitiated all
over the universe. You are the repository of learning, virtuous and
Sankar Suvan Kesari Nandan fully accomplished, always keen to carry out the behest's of Shrī
Tej Prataap Maha Jag Bandan Rām. You are an ardent listener, always so keen to listen to the
Bidyabaan Guni Ati Chaatur narration of Shrī Rām's Life Stories. Your heart is filled with what Shrī
Raam Kaaj Karibe Ko Aatur Rām stood for. You therefore always dwell in the hearts of Shrī Rām,
Prabhu Charit Sunibe Ko Rasiya Lakshman and Sītā. You appeared before Sītā in a Diminutive form
and spoke to her in humility. You assumed an awesome form and
Raam Lakhan Sītā Mann Basiya
struck terror by setting Lanka on fire. With over-whelming might You
Sukshma Roop Dhari Siyanhi Dikhawa destroyed the Asuras (demons) and performed all tasks assigned to
Bikat Roop Dhari Lanka Jarawa You by Shrī Rām with great skill.
Bheem Roop Dhari Asur Sanhaare
Raamchandra Ke Kaaj Sanwaare
You brought Sanjivan (A herb that revives life) and restored
Lakshman back to life, Shrī Raghuvir (Shrī Rām) cheerfully embraced
Laaye Sanjivan Lakhan Jiyaaye You with his heart full of joy. Shrī Raghupati (Shrī Rām) lustily
Sree Raghuveer Harashi Ur Laaye extolled Your excellence and said: "You are as dear to me as my own
Raghupati Keenhi Bahut Badai brother Bharat." Thousands of living beings are chanting hymns of
Tum Mum Priya Bharat Hi Sam Bhai Your glories; saying thus, Shrī Rām warmly hugged him (Shrī
Sahas Badan Tumhro Jas Gaawen Hanumān). When prophets like Sanka, even the Sage like Lord
Brahma, the great hermit Narad himself, Goddess Saraswati and
Us Kahi Sreepati Kanth Lagawe
Ahisha (one of immeasurable dimensions). Even Yamraj (God of
Sankadik Bramhadi Munisa Death) Kuber (God of Wealth) and the Digpals (deputies guarding
Narad Sarad Sahit Ahisa the four corners of the Universe) have been vying with one another
Jam Kuber Digpaal Jahan Te in offering homage to Your glories. How then, can a mere poet give
Kabi Kobid Kahi Saki Kahante adequate expression of Your super excellence?

50
Tum Upkaar Sugreevhin Kinha
Raam Milaaye Raajpad Dinha
You rendered a great service to Sugriv. You united him with Shrī Rām
Tumhro Mantra Bibhishan Maana
and he installed him on the Royal Throne. By heeding Your advice,
Lankeswar Bhaye Sab Jag Jana Vibhishan became Lord of Lanka. This is known all over the Universe.
Joog Sahastra Jojan Par Bhaanu On Your own You dashed upon the Sun, which is at a fabulous
Lilyo Taahi Madhur Fal Jaanu distance of thousands of miles, thinking it to be a sweet luscious
Prabhu Mudrika Meli Mukh Maahi fruit. Carrying the Lord's Signet Ring in Your mouth, there is hardly
any wonder that You easily leapt across the ocean. The burden of all
Jaldhi Laanghi Gaye Achraj Naahi
difficult tasks of the world become light with Your kind grace.
Durgam Kaaj Jagat Ke Jete
Sugam Anugraha Tumhre Tete

Raam Dooare Tum Rakhwaare


Hoat Na Aagya Binu Paisare You are the sentry at the door of Shrī Rām's Divine Abode. No one
can enter it without Your permission, All comforts of the world lie at
Sab Sukh Lahaye Tumhri Sarna
Your feet. The devotees enjoy all divine pleasures and feel fearless
Tum Rakhshak Kaahu Ko Darna under Your benign Protection. You alone are befitted to carry Your
Aapan Tej Smharo Aapaye own splendid valour. All the three worlds (entire universe) tremor at
Teeno Lok Haank Te Kaapen Your thunderous call. All the ghosts, demons and evil forces keep
Bhoot Pishaach Nikat Nahi Aawe away, with the sheer mention of Your great name, O'Mahaveer!!
All diseases, pain and suffering disappear on reciting regularly Shrī
Mahabir Jab Naam Sunawe
Hanumān's holy name.
Naasaye Rog Hare Sab Peera
Japat Nirantar Hanumat Beera

Sankat Te Hanumān Chhoodawe


Mann Krama Bachan Dhyaan Jo Laawe Those who remember Shrī Hanumān in thought, words and deeds
with Sincerity and Faith, are rescued from all crises in life. All who
Sab Par Raam Tapaswi Raja
hail, worship and have faith in Shrī Rām as the Supreme Lord and the
Tin Ke Kaaj Sakal Tum Saaja king of penance. You make all their difficult tasks very easy.
Aur Manorath Jo Koi Laawe Whosoever comes to You for fulfillment of any desire with faith and
Soi Amit Jivan Fal Paawe sincerity, Will he alone secure the imperishable fruit of human life.
Chaaro Jug Partaap Tumhara All through the four ages Your magnificent glory is acclaimed far and
wide. Your fame is Radiantly acclaimed all over the Cosmos. You are
Hai Parsiddh Jagat Ujiyara
Saviour and the guardian angel of Saints and Sages and destroy all
Saadhu Santa Ke Tum Rakhwaare Demons. You are the angelic darling of Shrī Rām.
Asur Nikandan Raam Dulaare

Ashta Siddhi Nau Nidhi Ke Daata You can grant to any one, any yogic power of Eight Siddhis (power to
Us Bar Deen Jaanki Maata become light and heavy at will) and Nine Nidhis (riches, comfort,
power, prestige, fame, sweet relationship etc.). This boon has been
Raam Rasayan Tumhre Paasa
conferred upon You by Mother Janki. You possess the power of
Sada Raho Raghupati Ke Daasa devotion to Shrī Rām. In all rebirths You will always remain Shrī
Tumhre Bhajan Raam Ko Paawe Raghupati's most dedicated disciple. Through hymns sung in
Janam-Janam Ke Dukh Bisraawe devotion to You, one can find Shrī Rām and become free from
Antakaal Raghuvar Pur Jaayee sufferings of several births. If at death one enters the Divine Abode
of Shrī Rām, thereafter in all future births he is born as the Lord's
Jahan Janam Hari Bhakta Kahayee
devotee. One need not entertain any other deity for Propitiation, as
Aur Devta Chitt Na Dharayi devotion of Shrī Hanumān alone can give all happiness.
Hanumat Sei Sarba Sukh Karai

51
Sankat Kate Mite Sab Peera One is freed from all the sufferings and ill fated contingencies of
Jo Sumiraye Hanumat Balbira rebirths in the world. One who adores and remembers Shrī
Hanumān. Hail, Hail, Hail, Shrī Hanumān, Lord of senses. Let Your
Jai Jai Jai Hanumān Gosaai
victory over the evil be firm and final. Bless me in the capacity as my
Kripa Karahun Gurudeb Ki Naai supreme guru (teacher). One who recites Chalisa one hundred times,
Jo Sat Baar Paath Kare Koi becomes free from the bondage of life and death and enjoys the
Chhootahin Bandi Mahasukh Hoyi highest bliss at last. All those who recite Hanumān Chalisa (The forty
Jo Yeh Padhe Hanumān Chalisa Chaupais) regularly are sure to be benedicted. Such is the evidence
of no less a witness as Bhagwan Sankar. Tulsidas as a bonded slave
Hoye Siddhi Saakhi Gaurisa
of the Divine Master, stays perpetually at his feet, he prays "Oh
Tulsidas Sada Harichera Lord! You enshrine within my heart & soul."
Kije Naath Hridaya Mahn Dera

Ending Phrase:
Pavantanaye Sankat Haran Oh! conqueror of the Wind, Destroyer of all miseries, You are a
symbol of Auspiciousness. Along with Shrī Rām, Lakshman and Sītā,
Mangal Moorti Roop
reside in my heart. Oh! King of Gods.
