Prabhata Samgiita

[ATMAN]

O king of the cowherds,
whom do you decorate with flowers?
For whom do you play your flute?

Day and night your smile comes
as a sweet balm to my pain.
Though I don't see you, yet I love you
in the mirror of my mind

From endless time
You have intoxicated the river of my mind.
In creation, in destruction, you are always dancing, beyond the scope of time

[ATMAN]

Today the peacock is singing in the heavy rain ,
lilies and lotus bloom on the river bank.
Who is that floating amongst the frangipanni blossom?

The rays of hope have all gone.
Krsna of Vraja is hiding Himself.
Still today in the desolate garden someone is there.
Who is that calling: "Please come"?
Who is floating there still today?

The sweet memory of the days of Vraja has gone.
The hearts of the devotees are dried,
no more charm is there.
The sky of Vraja is also no longer charming.
Krsna has gone and everyone is crying for Him

[ATMAN]

You are as severe as a thunder bolt and yet as tender as a flower bud, O! Lord Shiva with the pinaka in hand, I salute you. You are like a veritable silver mountain, You are the Lord having moon on your forehead. I am well aware of Your numerous qualities.

You are both the Lord of all paras as well as aparas, You are the very shelter of all the distressed. You are beyond the scope of time and yet You are established in all the finite objects. I salute You Pashupati-Shiva the ever tranquil.

You are the owner of all gems and jewels, and yet You are the Supreme relinquisher. You are as effulgent as a bright emerald, You are the very seed of the universe You are the primordial force of this universe I salute You Lord Shiva the end of all the created entities

[ATMAN]

You are the Progenitor of all, You are the Almighty God of all, You are the supreme Lord of the three worlds, I salute You Gangadhara, Shiva.

He is the Most Venerable of all entities, He is the Supreme Desideratum of all entities; He is unassailed by any relative object. He is beyond time and space.

You are the Supreme Controller of all, You have no controller; all qualities emanate from You but are above the bondages of triple attributions. You are the Mighty Leader of all, You are the Deva of all Devas.

[ATMAN]

Victory to the benevolent wielder of the thunderbolt
The One with white complexioned body
Clad in tiger skin –
‘Give me shelter at Your feet.'
Victory to the blower of the long horn,
The remover of all of afflictions.
Oh Supreme Entity, in whom all intellect is sheltered,
"Give me shelter at Your feet."
Victory to the first Father, the first Lord,
The Lord of Mantra, the God of Gods.
Beyond thought, ever new -
'Give me shelter at Your feet."
One who looks like a silver mountain,
Full of sweetness, difficult to attain,
Blissful, infinitely radiant
"Give me shelter at Your feet."
Victory to the Supreme, Eternal Truth

[ATMAN]

Shiva, Svayambhu (the Self Created Lord), Pashupati, the first Lord, the Lord of the beginningless, dhurjati (one whose matted lock of hair is always turned upwards) the witnessing entity of all microcosmic intellect, the repository of the universal wisdom let the victory be Yours.

You come from the world of invisibility and reside in the three worlds.
You are the one who provides all with the nectar like flow of bliss.
You are adideva sanatana (imperishable), sha’shvata (eternal), puratana (the most ancient).
I salute You, the embodiment of auspiciousness.

You are endowed with all rare qualities.
You are Guna’tiita, all the attributes (sattva, raja and tama) are sheltered in You.
You have no attachment for any wealth.
You are the dearest Lord of all created objects and entities.
You are both within and without the scope of time.
You smile in all sweet objects.
You feed the entire creation.
You are the one who maintains all the lokas of created worlds.

[ATMAN]

Oh Shankara, Hara, Mahadeva Shiva, Sambhu, I salute You.
You are without any beginning or end.
I really do not know all Your qualities.

Time does not overpower You, beautiful forms do not reflect You fully.
Therefore I am convinced that You are beyond the scope of time and form.

You are like honey in a thorny bush, in difficulty You are the dependable shelter.
You float with the soft rays of compassion.
You are the self created Lord for all time to come

[ATMAN]

Oh Supreme Benevolent Lord! You are Shivashankara, the seed of the universe, the Supreme Lord and the fountain of all compassion. You are like the silver mountain. Lord Shiva on whose head shines the moon. You are brighter than the brightest jewel, from You came the well being of the universe.

I pay obeisance to You who holds the axe, wild animals and give the Varabhaya mudra.
I entreat You to shower Your grace always upon me. Be pleased O Lord who can give the realization of the Atman. You are dressed in tiger skin and holding the Vajra and the long horn.

All the wealth of Your qualities, based on the principles of social equality are not mentioned in the scriptures. Oh Lord You are above the universe, the cause of creation and the remover of fear. Oh dear Lord be gracious to give me the dust particles of Your holy feet.

[ATMAN]

You have burst into tandava dance
oh Bhaerava (another name for Shiva), Lord of eternal time.
You have untied the knot of your hair,
and scattered your spiritual wealth to all.

In cadence and rhythm, with vigorous jumps,
the tranquil earth surges with joy.
With the burning heat of fiery volcano,
all the atoms of the universe began to dance

Those whose minds were bound
by a serpentine noose
to shatter their bondages
He blew his horn.

[ATMAN]

My Is't'a mantra is dearer to me than even my pra'na.
I am not going to leave it in exchange of enything else.
I won't leave it even if happines, dignity, money or even prana is lost.
I won't leave it because this is my only wealth, my sadhana!

Even if a great calamity occours,
even if the Lord releases His mounted hair
and appears before me with a furious face,
smilingly I will tell him: I love my mantra.
This love will never be drawn away, I won't leave it!

Oh, dear Lord Bhaerava (another name for Shiva), I require Your blessing.
So, my Lord, I look forward for it.
Oh, Paramapurus'a, please remain with me always and ever.
Remember, I am the dust of Your feet..
