May the salutations be unto the mother.The pain experienced by her at the time of delivery, the emaciation or the body becoming thin during pregnancy, the year long sharing of the bed made dirty by the child, none of these miserable experiences endured by the mother during pregnancy and thereafter can in any manner be compensated even by a great son. Gurukulamupasrutya svapnakaalae tu drushtvaa, yati samuchita vaesham praarudo maam tvamuchchaihi. gurukulamatha sarvam praarudattae samaksham, sapadi charanayostae maaturastu pranaamaha. It was in a dream that you saw me clad in the dress of a sannyasin. You were not able to control yourself to see me in that attire. You rushed to my gurukula. You embraced me and wept aloud openly. The entire gurukula wept along with you. O mother, what else can I do , except falling at your feet and offering salutations to you. Na dattam maatastae maranasamayae toyamapi vaa, svadhaa vaa no daeyaa maranadivasae shraaddhavidhinaa. na japto maatastae maranasamayae taarakamanuhu, akaalae sampraaptae mayi kuru dayaam maataratulaam. O mother! at the time of your death even water was not offered to you, by me. Even your death anniversary , no oblation was offered to me according to sraadha principles. At the time of your death the taaraka mantra was not chanted by me into your ear. O, peerless mother, be compassionate to me. Please forgive me, for i have arrived here late, when all things are over. Muktaamanistvam nayanam mamaeti, raajaeti jeevaeti chiram suta tvam. ityuktavatyaastava vaachi maataha, dadaamyaham tandulamaesha shushkam. You were calling me with endearing words like," you are my pearl ; you are my jewel; you are my eyes ; you are my prince ; you are my life ; long live you , my child and so on. In return , to the sweet words , uttered to me , I offer you this dry rice, O, dear mother. Ambaeti taataeti shivaeti tasmin, prasootikaalae yadavocha uchchaihi. krushnaeti govinda harae mukundaetyaho, jananyai rachito (a) yamanjalihi At the time of delivery , my dearest mother , you cried aloud in agonising labour pains thus : O mother , O father,O shiva, krishna , govinda , O hari , O mukunda and so on. May , my humble prostrations unto you , my dear mother , be accepted India Matrimony: Find your partner now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Dear Sir, Kindly post this shloka in your group. I am not sure if i am worthy of this honour.Not many know about this shloka. This shloka was recited by ADI SHANKARA himself. One of the conditions his mother ARYAMBA laid before he took to ochre robe is that he would be at her bedside at the time of her death and cremate her with all the rites. The acharya promised to do so. When in sringeri, adi shankara through his intutive power sensed that the last moments of his mother was nearing. With the help of his yogic powers, he hastened and stood next to his dying mother and tearfully recited this panchakam. He cremated his mother at the backyard of his house at kalady and to this date people in kalady follow the same ritual. adi_shakthi16 <adi_shakthi16 wrote: This is beautiful! may i post it in my group? who is the author, pl love and regards - In advaitin, lalethaa ganesh <my_guru29> wrote: > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
