Oh Girisa ( who resides in the mountain ) don’t go here and there. Oh God

stay in me. Oh Primeval hunter, enjoy the game of hunting by killing the

animals like Jealousy, delusion etc which live in the forest of my mind.

(Sri Rudhram)

 

Hey! Parameswara! You are roaming the forests to hunt but in vain because

the animals are sensing your arrival and are hiding from you! O!

KailaasapathE! Without knowing this secret you are getting tired of chasing

these elusive animals. I know of a forest where you will never fail to find

an animal. Hey! SarvEswara! You don't have to wonder where is such a forest.

That forest is none other than my mind which is impregnable because it is

dense with sankalpas. And no ordinary hunter can live in this forest of mine

because the animals there are so cruel that it is not easy to hunt and kill

them. These animals are kaamam, krOdham, lObham, mOham, madham and

maathsaryam and they are no ordinary animals. These animals have the

fiendish character of greed, anger etc. I have never been able to destroy

them. It is impossible for me to live with these animals. You alone are

capable of killing these wretched beings becuase you are Aadhikiraadhan!

 

This body is made up of five elements and therefore is anaathma. However,

knowing this anaathma as Aathma is called avidya. Because of avidya one gets

attached. MOksham is nothing but avidyaa-naasam. Only Kailaasavaasi

Parameswara is capable of destroying this avidya. Parameswara who destroys

this beginningless avidya is called Aadhikiraatha. Sri Rudhram in its third

anuvaaka describes this Aadhikiraatha as the dhyaanamurthy.

 

In this slOka also vidhwaans say manOnigraham is the message. So long as the

mind remains a cave then alone paramEswara as simham will live there. The

mind that has the tendency to wander in vishayaadhis have to be kept in the

position of the guhai and know this to be raaja yoga!

 

Whoever says this slOka and do namaskaram to Paramasiva will never be

afflicted with bhayam. This is certain.

 

Aum Namasivaaya!
