Guest guest Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Namaste Sushuddha, here's what I found with help of the dictionary. I am no expert in Sanskrit, but perhaps this will help you: sarva- all, every baadhaa- affliction, obstacle, distress (the verb 'baadh': press, force, harass, resist, oppress, hem in, trouble: so I understand 'baadhaa' to mean anything that resists or tries to hem in the flow of Divine Love) prasham (verb): to subdue, to conquer, to become calm, pacify, soothen (to me this means that the resistance which causes the trouble has been taken away; like stones removed from a stream) trailokya: the three 'lokas' or worlds (or three 'bodies': gross, subtle, causal) a-khila: without a gap, complete, whole Ishvari: Mistress, Queen (so there is no thing or no place in the three worlds that She is not, where She does not control) evam: thus, in such a way eva: just so (evameva: precisely in such a way) tvayaa: by you (instr.) kAryam: must be done, caused, effected asmad: (away from)us vairi: enemy vinashana: causing to disappear, removal, distruction, annihilation with love, Henny , " matthewgindin " <matthewgindin > wrote: > > Hello All, > > I was just wandering if anyone is able and willing to post a breakdown > of the sanskrit for the universal peace mantra, or can direct me to > where it might be available here or on the website?

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Namaste Henny, Excellent, thank you! I like contemplating the meaning of the mantra while I chant it, letting the understandings echo off of eachother and get deeper and deeper, and that will be very helpful.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hi Sushuddha, Notwithstanding Hennyji's wonderful personal translation, there is a pdf of the sarva badha mantra with translation in bi-fold card and wallet size formats. Here is the link: And the file is SarvaaBadhaa.pdf (look near the bottom of the page) Jai Maa!

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Namaste! I have been a silent but appreciative member of this group for a while. I have been really impresssed with the spirit of sharing and the love and compassion this group enjoys. I also feel it has a lot to do with Shreemaa and Swamiji who are able to spread their peace,love and harmony through all who are associated with them. I was wondering if the following explanation for " sarvabadha prashamanam " would be of help to susuddha'ji. It's from a Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan publication by Swami Siddhinathananda whom I also knew personally. " The Devas said: Akhileshvari, traylokasya sarvabadhaprashamanam karyam [ O supreme Ruler of the whole universe,please remove all the miseries of the three worlds.] Evam eva asmadvairivinashanam cha tvaya karyam [ in this manner, you ought also to destry our enemies.] The Devas prayed: O Supreme Ruker of the universe, please remove all the miseries of the three worlds and also please destroy in future our enemies as you have done now. Pranams to Shreemaa and Swamiji and to each one of you, Devi p.s. i noticed that there are others here whom I share a name with ....my full name is Lakshmi Devi Nair but I have always been called Devi. , " Matthew Gindin " <matthewgindin wrote: > > Namaste Chris, > > Thank you Chris- I had seen it but wanted a breakdown of the constituents to > aid understanding peice by peice during meditation. > > Blessings > Jai Maa! > Sushuddha > > On 5/21/07, Chris Kirner <chriskirner1956 wrote: > > > > Hi Sushuddha, > > > > Notwithstanding Hennyji's wonderful personal translation, there is a > > pdf of the sarva badha mantra with translation in bi-fold card and > > wallet size formats. > > > > Here is the link: > > > > And the file is SarvaaBadhaa.pdf (look near the bottom of the page) > > > > Jai Maa! > > Chris > > > > <%40>, > > " matthewgindin " > > <matthewgindin@> wrote: > > > > > > Hello All, > > > > > > I was just wandering if anyone is able and willing to post a breakdown > > > of the sanskrit for the universal peace mantra, or can direct me to > > > where it might be available here or on the website?

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Good to see you, Devi! Glad you finally came out of hiding. Their influence certainly influences all of us who love and rely on them.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Dear Henny: thank you so much for this study in the meanings of this mantra. I have just started working with it and it gives me such inspiration to have these words to float in my mind and heart, deepening understanding and appreciation of it's beauty.
