Guest guest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Namaste group, I been away for a long time, so i hope this message finds everyone in good health and spirits. Im hoping to find information on a god of love. Whats his/her name and what is a prayer i can offer to him/her??I found this in one of the post's, and it refers to the God of love. Any ideas who this is? Om Svalavanyasudhasarajita Manmathavigrahaya Namaha - Adoration to Him who is a vast ocean of sweetness more charming than the God of love Thank you - Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another translation of the mantra you refer to (Om Svalavanyasudhasarajita Manmathavigrahaya Namah), from the Ganesh Astottara (108 names of Lord Ganesh), is "Adoration to Him who defeated Manmatha, the God of love, by His sweet beauty". This translation is from the book Loving Ganesha (http://www.himalayanacademy.com/books/lg/lg_ch-12.html) Manmatha is a name of the God Kama, who is often called the God of Love (though I personally think this depends on what one considers "love" to be, maybe lust or desire would sometimes be more appropriate). As far as I can tell the name Manmatha means churner or stirrer of mind, though I could be wrong here. Hope this is of help to you Jamie. Om Shanti, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
