BIRTHIMANE - WISHFUL THINKING AND PRAYERS

3rd  April 2018, Tuesday

I am very much attracted and mesmerized by sloka (verse) in sanskrit, I heard, came across recently, which makes a lot of meaning.


No one is sure of his/her last day in this planet. During life one has lot of commitment, joy, sorrow, ambition, ego, selfishness, hatred, which comes to an end when he/she takes his last breath.

The verses goes like this.

ಅನಾಯಾಸೇನ ಮರಣಂ |
ಬಿನಾ  ದೈನ್ಯೇನ ಜೀವನಂ |
ದೇಹಾಂತೇ ತವ ಸಾನ್ನಿಧ್ಯಂ|
ದೇಹಿಮೆ ಪರಮೇಶ್ವರ |
anaayaasena maranam|
bina dainyena jeevanam|
dehanthe thava saanidhyam|
dehime parameshwara|

The above verses have lost of meaning:

Give a death without pain,
Give me a life where I am not dependent on any one,
Let no one has to help me to sit up, lie down and feed me,
Let me be Par-vash, (independent)
In mruthyu (death), may I have only your darshanam,
Hey Prabhu, grant me these requests.


It's not being devotional or philosophical, but just a thought.
