Which steal my mind and which are full of the nectar of prettiness. Let my bee-like mind burdened with sorrows of life,Īdorned by anklets which are beautiful red in color, Looks like light coming from thousands of suns. When he sits on his throne of gems, In his residence of gold, He who fulfills all wishes, who is covered by hills of flowers,

He who was always looked after by Karthika maidens, I always meditate upon that lord of all Gods, Who lives in caves of the sandal mountain, The Guha, the one who steals all sins in the banks of the sea, Says the God who lives on the sandal mountain,Īnd let him offer perennial protection to me. The calamities of the devotee who visits his temple disappear,Īnd so I make the great Lord Subramanya reside in the core of my heart forever.įeel that they have climbed the greatest mountain, Just as the huge waves of the sea disappear within it, They have indeed crossed the ocean of the painful everyday life. The one who says that once somebody comes to my presence, I sing the praise of that pure son of the divine mother Shakti, Who lives in the hearts of the spiritual consciousness,īhavaambhodhi paaram gathaasthe thadaiva, The one who reflects the meaning of great Vedic sayings, I sing the praise of the protector of the world, Though I don’t know words, Nor do I know the meanings, I don’t even know the verse or prose, The conscious effulgence of your six faces is there in my heart, And it makes these words pouring forth from my mouth. Na janaami sabdham, na janaami cha artham, May the merciful Lord is known as Ganesha bless me with prosperity. He is sought after by Brahma, Indra, and other Gods. Though he has an elephant face, he is most loved by Shiva, the one with five faces.

I offer my salutations to Lord Ganesha, who always has a child-like form but has the power to destroy mountainous obstacles. Let us see the Stotram in English and the meaning of each of the verses: This Stotra is a road connecting the human mind with the eternal ecstasy. The hymn composed by Adi Sankara has 33 verses and the peculiar metre is known for its sinuous movement resembling that of a serpent. It exposes the efficacy of meditation, prayer, and praise of Lord Subramanya. The hymn has extensive spiritual exaltation, ecstasy, and piety. When he meditated Lord Subramanya, he experienced a luminous light shining in his heart and words started coming out of his mouth in a specific Bhujanga metre. It is a stotra composed by Adi Sankara to please the deity. Sri Subramanya Bhujangam is a hymn sung to praise Lord Subramanya, the deity existing in Tiruchendur located in the South-Eastern coast of India.
