Hello,

 

My name is Shankar Ramana Mallampalli. I am 36

years old

currently living in Jacksonville, FL, USA. I am

originally from

Hyderabad, AP india and came to USA as a software

programmer in 1994.

I am a US citizen now.

I hailed from a strong pandithArAthya saivate

brahmin family from

AP. To know more about pandithArAthya please visit the

website,

http://sroutasaivasiddhanta.org/index.htm

Please note this is a non-profit web site and a

professionally managed

site. It may be down at times.

My father used to worship both Siva and Devi. Although

I am a

SivaLingaDhari since 1996, I was not very spiritually

active until a

few years ago.

 

When saw your question about my devotional interest I

recollected a

stotram by mahA siva bhaktha, "appayya dEkshatulu"

that accurately

depicts my feelings towards sAmba. It goes:

 

sAmbo naH kula daivatam

sAmbA tvadEyAvayam

sAmbam staumi

surAsurora gagaNa sAmbena santAritAH

sAmbAyastu namo mayAvarachitam

sAmbAt parannobhajE

sAmbasyAnu charosmyaham

mama ratihi sAmbE para bramhani

 

One "Mr.sAmavEdam shanmukha sharma", a sankrit scholar

converted it to

Telugu and I translated that into English. Anyway it

means,

 

That sAmba is my kula daivam

Oh sAmba, I am yours

I am writing stotras (or praying) on sAmba

All sura and asura forces scared by sAmba (possibly at

praLayam)

My salute is for sAmba (it may also mean.. My salute

is only for sAmba)

More than sAmba, I want nothing

I am a slave of sAmba

My interest, love, devotion is with sAmba, the one

inseperable from

Amba, the supreme bramhan.

 

Notice the use of That, Than, On, By, For, Of and

With prepositions.

 

Shankar

Appreciate your kind words. I will do the best I can to be a

valuable member. The main reason that I came across this web group

is that I am looking for Sanskrit/English/Telugu scripts for

 

1) Devi Mahimna Stotram

2) Mrutyunjaya Sahasranama Stotram.

 

Both of these stotras are quite powerful and its a pleasure to

recite them. Mrutyunjaya Sahasranamam is full of Bijaksharams and

its a rare and most potent Siva Sahasram. It bestows happiness just

by listening to it once. This Sahasram is recited by kAla bhairava

himself.

 

Can any of you help me find these scripts/books?

 

I really appreciate your help on this.

 

Thanks

Shankar Mallampalli
