Sarabesvara Kavacham Hymn with the protective power

[Guest guest]

The Sarabesa Narasimha Duo

 

As we mentioned before, the Sarabesa form is like a rare diamond;

it's not that easy to find. We have mentioned some temples where

this

unique divine form is found. The Siddhas say that if the divine

forms

of Sri Sarabesvara and Narasimha are found in opposite pillars

facing

each other, the beneficial effects of this divine combination are

beyond words; the spiritual results get magnified manifold.

 

So here's a spiritual project for you. Seek out temples where this

divine duo is present and do your Sarabesvara pooja there. Share

your

findings with friends and family and involve them in Sarabesvara

worship. Do all of this from a totally selfless standpoint. This is

an easy way of pleasing Sarabesa, the Great Universal Protector.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sarabesvara Gayatri Mantra

 

There's a Gayatri mantra that's specific to each and every divine

manifestation. Here's the one in honor of Lord Sarabesvara:

 

Om Saaluvesaaya vidhmahé

pakshi raajaaya dheemahi

thannó Sarabesvara prachodayaath

 

Pronunciation Guide:

é - long "eh" sound, as in mane, fame

ó - long "oh" sound, as in gold, bold.

 

This Gayatri mantra can also be recited while performing abishekam

for Sri Sarabesvara.

 

 

Sarabesvara Kavacham Hymn

 

Composed by the great Siddha, Kavacha Jaloosha, and handed down to

us

by Sathguru Venkataraman, this short and sweet hymn envelops the

devotee with the protective power of Lord Sarabesvara, the Great

Protector.

 

Sarabesvara is My Armour

Narasimha uggiram udaitthu vandha

Paramasivam paravaiyaai ezhundha en kóvé

Hara Hara enach cholli aanandhamaakki unnai

urattha kuralil koovi azhaippén Saaluvésaa endré

siram irandum kan moondrum kooriya mookkudané

karam naangaai enaik kaattharulum karunaakarané

param porulé Sarabesaa vaazhi vaazhiyé

 

Pronunciation Guide:

é - long "eh" sound, as in mane, fame

ó - long "oh" sound, as in gold, bold.

 

Meaning

 

He who quelled Narasimha's wrath

Paramasivam, My Lord! You took form as a great bird

"Hara, Hara," I say and you fill me with bliss divine

Loudly will I call out for You, O Saaluvesa!

With two heads, three eyes, a sharp beak

And hands four, You protect me, O Lord of Mercy!

You are the Primordial One, the Ultimate Truth! O Sarabesa!

Hail to You! Hail to You!
