Garbha Raksha Stotram Meaning

Isalute her who gives all that is good, who,

Protects Vedic pundits and pregnancy of women,

For she always protects children in pregnancies,

When the delivery time comes very near for them.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.

Mangala Chandika Stotram

Translated by P. R. Ramachander

[The text of this stotra is given in various ways in different places and I havepieced out the complete prayer by consulting various places. The text inSanskrit is given at: shivu360.blogspot.com/2011/02/mangala-chandika-stotram.html.Slightly different text is given at: ioustotra.blogspot.com/2011/09/mangal-chandika-stotram.htmlalong with meaning in Marathi and English (incomplete). There are many claimsthat this stotra is an antidote to the Mangalya dosha in the horoscopes. Thereis no mention about this in the text. The word "Mangala" indicates"Auspiciousness" as well as "Planet Mars" and this prayer is recommended to bechanted on Tuesdays. The confusion must have come from this.]

Om Hreem sreem kleem sarva poojye devi Mangala Chandike,

Iym kroom phat swahethyevam cha apya ekavinsakharo Manu.

Poojya kalpa tharuschaiva Bhakthaanaam sarva kamadha,

Dasa laksha jape naiva manthra sidhir bhave nrunaam,

Manthra sidhir bhavedh sa Vishnur Sarva Kamadha,

Dhyanam cha sruyathaan Brahman Vedoktham sarva sammatham,

If Man worships with the twenty one lettered Chant,

"Om Hreem, Sreem, Kleem Sarva poojaye devi Mangala Chandike, Iym kroom phatswaha"

She who is like the wish fulfilling tree to him who worships, would fulfill allthe wishes of that devotee,

And if he chants it ten lakh times, he would be able to master all occultpowers,

For with the mastery of this chant, Lord Vishnu attained all his wishes,

And Lord Brahma meditating and hearing it, was recognized by the Vedas.

Dhyanam

Devim Shodasa varsheeyaam, sarva susthira youvanam,

SArva roppa gunadyaam cha komalaangim manoharaam,

Swetha champaka varnaam, Chandra koti SAmaprabham,

Vahni shudhaam sukhaadhaanaam, rathna bhooshana bhooshithaam,

Bibrathim Khabari baaraam mallika malya vibhooshithaam,

Bimbhoshtim sudathim shudhaam sarad Padma nibhaananaam,

Eesha dwasya prasannasyaam Suneelothphala lochanaam,

Jagat dhatrim cha dhatrim cha Sarvebhya sarva sampadaam

Samsara sagare ghore potha roopaam varaam bhaje.

Deyascha dhyana mithyevam sthavanam sryathaam mune,

Prayatha sankata grastho yena thushtava Sankara.

The goddess is of sixteen years age, and is blessed with permanent youth,

She is blessed with all forms and all good qualities, she has pretty form, shesteals the mind,

She is of the colour of White Champa flower, she has the sparkle of billions ofmoons,

She wears cloth purified by fire and wears ornaments studded with gems,

She is bent due to the weight of her breasts and wears the garland of jasmine,

She has lips of the colour of Bimba fruit, she has good teeth, she is pure andis like the lotus flower of autumn.

She looks pleased with a slow smile and has eyes which are like blue lotus,

She is the mother of the universe, she is the mother and always gives wealth toall,

And she is a boat to cross the ocean of domestic life and is blessed and Isalute her.

Oh sage let the meditation and worship for her begin and please hear her prayer,

And thus Shankara made those caught by sorrow as happy.

Ithi sri Brahma Vaivarthe, Prakruthi Khande, Mangala Chandika stotram sampoornam

Thus ends the prayer addressed to Mangala Chandika occurring in the Chapter onnature in Brahma vaivartha Purana.

"Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this Divinity within, by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy - by one or more or all of these - and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details."
