शुभं करोति क्ल्याणं

[Harry Spier]

Dear list members,

I've been asked to find out information about the following shloka:

शुभं करोति क्ल्याणं आरोग्यं धनसम्पदः

शत्रुबुद्धिविनाशाय दीपज्योतिर्नमोस्ऽतु ते ||

I've been told its a quite common shloka.

1) Can anyone tell me about its use.

2) Its origin. Is it part of a scripture?

3) Is it part of a longer hymn?

or anything else.

Thanks,

Harry Spier

It is usually sung in the houses of Marathi Hindus in the evening when the diyas (Lamps) are lit in front of the Gods as a daily ritual. I am not aware of scripture 

सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः , सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः |

सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु, मा कश्चिद्दुखभागभवेत् ||

Dear Dr. Ravi Khangai,

This webpage https://greenmesg.org/stotras/others/shubham_karoti_kalyanam.php

lists the shloka together with another shloka as follows:

शुभं करोति क्ल्याणं आरोग्यं धनसम्पदः

शत्रुबुद्धिविनाशाय दीपज्योतिर्नमोस्ऽतु ते ||

दीपज्योतिः परब्रह्म दीपज्योतिर्जनार्दनः

दीपो हरतु मे पापं दीपज्योतिर्नमोऽस्तु ते

Are these two shlokas chanted together in the context you mentioned: I.e. chanted iin the houses of Marathi Hindus in the evening when the diyas (Lamps) are lit in front of the Gods as a daily ritual. .

Thanks again,

Harry Spier
