Pasaydan

                                                           

The word Pasaydan is composed of two words- Pasa and Dan. which means a prayer gesture when the hands are joined together to receive an auspicious gift.




                                                 

     


Now, 'O' God, The entire Cosmos Divine | 
Be pleased with this pious word offering of mine ||
Grant me in goodwill benign | 
Your Benevolent Grace Divine ||1||


May the evil-minded, their wickedness shed | 
May their intellect turn to pious and good deeds instead ||
May all living beings find themselves bonded | 
By friendly ties of soul companionship||2||


May the darkness of ignorant disappear | 
May the universe see the Sun of self-consciousness ||
May whatsoever aspirations of those be fulfilled | 
Of all living beings ||3||


May shower all over the pious bliss Divine | 
May the world be full of Saintly beings benign ||
May incessantly in the Universe | 
Meet the living beings ||4||


Moving groves of wish-granting trees | 
Colonies of conscious wish-fulfilling jewels ||
These saints are, speaking oceans | 
Full of pious Nectarly Divine ||5||


A Moon without a smear | 
A Sun without a hot sear ||
Always to one and all, these hallowed saints | 
Become kith and kin dear ||6||


Let all beings be completely satisfied and happy | 
Fully contented in all the three worlds ||
Engrossed and merged in devotion | 
Eternally, of ultimate Divine ||7||


And those who live by this scripture Divine | 
Eternally guiding all living beings ||
Be victoriously overseen unforeseen | 
In this world and beyond ||8||


Here, said, the lord of the Universe | 
This shall become thy Grace Divine ||
And with this blissful Grace Divine | 
Jnandeva became ever joyous and happy benign ||9||

P.S.-- thus Shri Gyaneshwara mentions and praises the spiritual beings who dwell in this world like commoners with their enlightened souls. they look like commoners but are divine and carry the song of the cosmos in their hearts. And to be noted, he mentions them not as a bunch of few people, but forests of moving wish-fulfilling trees.

Week 14, Chapter 4( Shlokas 15-28) Chants

 So friends welcome to week 14, we talk about doing actions with awareness so that we are not touched by fear, anger & cravings. But people gets confused when to act and when not to act. We also learn in these verses  how to overcome feverishness. We do actions where we expect results and some where we dont expect any results. Expectations brings feverishness. We should be equipoise in gain and loss. Comparisons always brings jealousy. We learnt that doing all action as Yagya will help and we also learnt about the different types of yagya. Hope you all enjoy my recordings and dont forget to put your  feedbacks in comment. See you next week.

A Divine Revelation

    Week 13, chapter 4 shlokas 7- 20   Reveals Krishna- His divinity and the purpose of his incarnation.

They are the ones who are like walking forests of wish-granting trees—such enlightened souls are auspicious, and they are naturally bound to attain their oneness with me. (shloka 9-10) I love all those who worshi...

The 'sadbuddhi' (some more reflections on Buddhi- yoga)

    As Krishna continues talking about the buddhi- yoga , that is, when the heart is calm in both success and failures, pleasures and pains. Also, when the mana and buddhi are coordinated (are on the same page). One may say that buddhi- yoga is superior to  karma- yoga but on the contrary, buddhi- yoga cannot be attained till one perform karmas with detachment. The supreme state of karma ( uttaravastha ) is a natural state of yoga. By not desiring the outcome of the karmas, one gets liberated from the cycle of birth and death. And eventually, they also get liberated from the buddhi- yoga and attains their salvation- the state of brahmananda (shloka-51). I feel when Krishna talks about sadbuddhi , he talks about the pure desire of a seeker that consistently lights his path towards accepting that (deeds) which will lead him towards his enlightenment, and at the same time gives him wisdom to not accept those deeds that are prohibited or that are futile in ord...
