Guest guest Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 Dilip - Since your chants sound so similar to one I was taught a few years ago, maybe you can tell me the translation (if you can do word for word as well as the whole meaning, that would be great!). Om Sheshanagaya Vidhmahe Dakshikaya Dhimahe Tanno Kalaya Prachodayat Shreematay Annantaya Nagarajay Namo Namah Hari Om I know it has something to do with Nagaraja, the king of the snakes, and Ananta, same. Also, this one: Iradhakshura (??? not sure about this word) Padaabruhastam Mantraheenam Tuyat (???) Bhavet(a) Tat Sarvam Shyamyatum (???) Deva Narayana Namostute Shreematay Narayanaya Namo Namah Hari Om Again, I know this has something to do with Narayana, but not sure what. Some of the words are hard to figure out their spelling and their correct pronunciation, as the person who taught this to me didn't really know Sanskrit very well. Thanks for any and all help!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 For those posting Sanskrit prayers, it might help others if you give a better transliteration, especially the most common mistake and most easily correctable mistake: the vowel "aa/A" (aaahh) versus "a" (uh). >From my limited knowledge and experience with Sanskrit, I think your last line has incorrect grammar, and should be "Tanno Devi Prachodayaat" note the Devi instead of Devyai. Many times changing the last letter to the "e" sound makes it a calling word, as Amma to Amme! (uhmmay!) Some newbies will pronounce "Jai" (Jai Maa) like "Sai" (Sai Baba) when they're actually 2 different sounds (Saayee, versus Juhyee or Jay). Hence the need for decent transliteration, although I've met very few that make the effort to pronounce their a's correctly anyways. It might help too, to give translations of what you're invoking with these phases. Incidently, an evening bhajan/puja program I attended at a local temple used the Sai Gayatri as dedicated to SSB rather than the one below for some reason. > > Amma Gayatri: > > Om Sudhamani Vighmahe, > > Atmaramaye Dhimahi > > Tanno Devyai Prachodayate > > ================ > > fyi: last night I accidently found this Shirdi Sai Gayatri from www.saibaba.org site, this is really good and this directly pointed / connected me with the Shirdi Sai. > > Om Shirdi Wasaye Vighmahe > > Sat ChitAnandaye Dhimahi > > Tanno Sai PrachoDayate > > =========== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2002 Report Share Posted January 10, 2002 Connie Sorry I don't know the complete meaning myself but certainly it refers to Narayan as you stated.
