Stotraratna.

[Guest guest]

Respected members,

As a gesture of respect to

"sri Yamunaacharya", i would like to share with

all of you, his unique and unparalleled work "Stotraratna".

Daily i will write 4 slokhas. Let

us relish each one of them and feel blessed.

 

Om

Namo Naraayanaaya

Sri

Yamunaacharya tiruvadigale sarnam.

 

These are dhyana slokhas of the aacharya to his guru paramparaa.

 

slokha no:1

 

Namo acintya adbhuta aklista jnana-vairaagya raasaye;

nathaaya munaye gaadha bhagavad bhakti sindhave.

 

Obeisance to the contemplative saint Nathamuni, who

is

an unfathomable ocean of divine love and the

embodiment of knowledge

and renunciation - unthinkable,marvellous and

spontaneous.

 

slokha no: 2

 

Tasmai namo madhujid-anghri- saroja-tattva-

jnanaanuraaga mahimaatisayaanta-simne;

naathaaya naatha-munaye' atra paratra c'aapi

nityam yadiya-caranau saranam madiyam.

 

Obeisance to that master Nathamuni, whose feet

are my eternal refuge in this world and in the

next,

and who represents the farthest landmark of that

surpassing greatness, which consists,in the true

knowledge of the lotus feet of Madhujit(i.e Vishnu)

 

and intense love for them.

 

Slokha no:3

 

Bhuyo namo aparimitaacyuta-bhakti-tattva-

jnaanaamrtaabdhi- parivaaha-subhair vacobhih ;

Loke'avatirna-paramaartha-samagra-bhakti-

yogaaya naatha-munaye yaminaam-varaaya.

 

Obeisance again to Nathamuni, the best among those

 

who have subdued the senses, by whose holy

precepts,

which are the overflow of the boundless

nectar-ocean of

love and true knowledge of Achyuta, the true

Bhakti Yoga

in its entirety has descended on the earth.

 

Slokha no : 4

 

Tattvena yah cid-acid-isvara-tat-svabhaava-

bhogaapavarga-tad-upaaya-gatir udaarah;

sandarsayan niramimita puraana-ratnam

tasmai namo munivaraaya paraasaraaya.

 

Obeisance to Parasara, chief among

contemplative saints,

who mercifully composed the gem of puranas in

order to present

correctly the sentient, the non-sentient and

Isvara, together with

their real nature, and also the jiva's worldly

enjoyment, final beatitude,

means of attaining the two, and the path taken

by the jivas.

 

With Regards
