Chants Of Hindu Gods and Goddesses
The author, Munindra (Munnan) Misra, has beautifully painted
the canvas (of Hinduism) with multifaceted colours. He has assisted in
enriching the readers with easy comprehension of the numerous scriptures
(stuti, stotra, chalisas) of the Hindu (Sanatan) culture in English rhyme along
with keeping the original scripture (in Hindi/Sanskrit).
This endeavour provides the English speaking Hindu (Sanatan
Dharma) global world-wide population, a re-introduction to these chants, which
they would be knowing (the original chant) but in many cases not comprehending.
The Gods covered are Ganesh, Shiv, Vishnu, Krishna, Ram,
Hanuman, Shani and the Goddesses are Sati, Parvati, Gayatri, Durga, Laxmi
(Lakshmi), Kali, Saraswati, Ganga, Santoshi. These Hindu gods and goddesses are
the most popular.
This work is unique as the chants covered in this book have
never been written in simple English rhyme previously – in fact a collection
all these chants (even in Hindi/Sanskrit) together in one book itself may not
be available.
To the English speaking Hindu population across the globe
who are not so comfortable with the original text this would reconnect them
with their culture and to those who comprehend the original text this grand
collection would be appreciated. The readers would have joy and easy
comprehension of the most famous Hindu chants in the form of stuti, stotra and
chalisa of the various popular gods and goddesses.
विपद: सन्तु ता:
शश्वत्तत्र तत्र जगद्गुरो।

यत्स्यादपुनर्भवदर्शनम्॥८॥
Master of Universe
I pray for calamities,
So I do remember
You ever constantly,
Remembering You
means freedom be,
From cycle of
births and death finally.
From Hanuman Chalisa
श्रीगुरु चरन सरोज
रज, निज मनु
मुकुरु सुधारि।
बरनउँ रघुबर बिमल
जसु, जो दायकु
फल चारि॥
With the dust of
guru’s lotus feet having,
I cleanse the
mirror of my soul sparkling,
Raghuvar’s
spotless glory I be singing,
The four fruits of
life it ever is giving.

Devi Mahatmayam
Devi Mahatmayam is a seven hundred mantra story describing
victory of the Goddess over Asuras representing conquest and freedom from
tamsik Maha Kali (Chapter 1), rajsik Maha Lakshmi (Chapters 2-4) and satvik
Maha Saraswati (Chapters 5-13) human tendencies.
Devi – The one supreme Goddess, personified as many
goddesses, confronts the demons within us representing the field of human
consciousness within each person.
Asuras – her adversaries, represent the all-too-human
impulses arising from the pursuit of power, possessions, pleasure and from
illusions of self-importance.
In reality, herein are defined the primary human tendencies
– passions, wealth and even goodness. Only when all acts are preformed
unaffected by these primary tendencies and the act itself is dedicated to the
Lord, the final liberation comes and the real elixir of life is tasted.
Devi Kali,
Lakshmi, Saraswati the three steps be,
Of Tamas, Rajas, Sattva represented
accordingly,
- 3 -
Tamas is a
brick-wall, preventing vision completely,
Rajas is a blowing
wind tossing but indiscriminately.
- 4 -
So suck root of
desires not chop its branches only,
The dirt is in
form of Kama, Krodha and Lobha really.
- 5 -
It is the desire
and anger born of Rajas indisputably,
Sattva a plain
glass, through which you see Reality.
- 6 -
It is after the
slaying of all these three actually,
Does dawn freedom,
awareness of truth finally.
- 7 -
All our desires
are desires of the soul, ultimately.
Though they look
like desires mental or sensory;
- 39 -
Desires
intellectual, social etc., but they all be,
Soul‟s longing
through mind and senses activity.
- 40 -
Our longings an
inward urge for freedom does be,
It is just freedom
that we all ask for repeatedly;
- 41 -
The longings and
enterprises soul's aspiration be,
The aspiration for
liberation of the human but be.
- 42 -
All longings the
essence for real liberation only,
Freedom from all
sides, an ultimate supremacy;
- 43 -
Supremacy over
self in realisation of freedom be,
Devi-Mahatmayam
describes this march unmistakably.
- 44 -
March of the soul
to its destination unquestionably,
Realisation of
this freedom, the dramatic aspect be;
- 45 -
Devi-Mahatmayam or
Durga Saptashati Katha but be,
Showing the path
of life to the whole of humanity;
152
Very much like the
holy Bhagwat Gita undoubtedly,
As the song of the
Lord for enlightenment does be.

Goals Of Life
Basic Life Attributes.
Four purusharthas
or goals of the life be,
So very crystal
clear in life undisputedly;
1
Artha getting useful wealth and
prosperity,
Finding the
meaning for living herein truly;
2
Kama fulfilling desires, acting
repeatedly,
It the physical,
material desire fulfillment be;
14
Dharma – the foundation of all human
goals be,
Refers to
obligations, conduct, moral duties;
25
Moksha – the liberation form the web of
maya be,
Freedom from the
cycles of birth and death clearly;
33
As all the rivers
must lead to the sea eventually,
All spiritual
paths leading to the same goal finally;
43
And all of the
variety of life are created certainly,
By combination of
the three Gunas undisputedly.
44
That the backdrop
for the Bhagwat Gita surely be,
All three gunas so
held to delude the World clearly:
75
World deluded by
Three Gunas does not know Me:
Who beyond these
Gunas, imperishable does be.
76
If Brahman an
infinite ocean, then Atma a wave within be,
Ocean not
different from its waves, the waves as ocean be;
They are but one
and the same very similar in actuality,
So Brahman and
Atma are one and the same in reality.
