14. Slokas
Sloka is a term derived from Sanskrit. Sloka is a verse, phrase, proverb or hymn of praise dedicated to the God. Shlokas are usually composed in a specific meter. Sloka is a verse of two lines, each of sixteen syllables.
Sloka usually forms the part of Hindu prayers. Shloka can also be attributed to specific Gods and Goddesses.
What is Sloka
Sloka is a powerful prayer which conveys the dignity and the omnipotence of God. Sanskrit Shlokas describe God in different forms and their celestial powers. People, who sincerely recite these verses and invoke the God mentally, attain a steady and peaceful mind.
Shloka forms the part of ''Stotras'' which are dedicated to Gods as prayers. Slokas are the primary verses from Mahabharata and Ramayana, the great epics of Indian Mythology. In this section, we are covering the following slokas:
Bedtime is the time when people want to relax themselves after the long hectic schedules of the day. It is considerable to remember God at such time. Following Bedtime Sloka / Shloka is a bedtime prayer of the Hindus.
Meaning: The literal meaning of the mantra is: "O God, kindly pardon my incorrect actions done consciously or unconsciously, either through my organs of action (hand, feet, and speech) or through my organs of perception (eyes, ears) or by my mind. I adore the God, who is the ocean of kindness".
Significance: By God's grace, we have completed one more day of our life. So, in order to thank god and to ask for his mercy, one can recite this Sloka. This bedtime Sloka is a prayer to God asking him to excuse our mistakes and maintain his mercy on us.
2. Bhagavad Gita Slokas
Slokas are verses in the praise of God. Shlokas from Bhagwad Gita are renowned for their massive power. Gita Slokas bring the idea of spirituality to our mind. Slokas of Bhagavad Gita can be recited in order to get the peace of mind. Daily chant of these slokas, with their meanings kept in the mind, makes the person aware about the fact of material world and the celestial world. Gita Slokas tell about the eternal divine world which is pure and serene. These slokas make the person realize the purpose, for what he/she has come in this world.
Following are some of the Slokas from Bhagavad Gita with their meanings:
This Sloka states that the Individual self is the traveler in the chariot of the material body and the intelligence is the driver. Mind is the driving instrument and the senses are the horses. Thus, the self is the enjoyer or sufferer in the relationship of the mind and senses.
The Sloka says that God is detached and passionless strength of the dominant and the virtuous craving in men.
"Ye Caiva Sattvika Bhava Rajasastamasasca Ye Matta Everti Tanviddhi Na Tvaham Tesu Temayi"
This Shloka tells that God is the only source of all good (satva), obsessive (rajas) and dark (tamas) elements still, they are not within the God nor the deity is within them.
This Sloka states that the whole world is engrossed in the three elements of Satva, Raja, and Tama .This is the reason, people don't recognize the Eternal God who is beyond them.
"Daivi Hyesa Gunamayi Mama Maya Duratyaya Mameva Ye Prapadyante Mayametam Taranti Te"
The Shloka states that the celestial maya of God with its threefold attributes is very complex. Yet, those who worship God are able to conquer it.
"Na Mam Duskrtino Mudhah Prapadyante Naradhamah Mayayapahrtajnana Asuram Bhavamasritah"
This Shloka says that people who are attracted by maya of God lose their mind. They get fascinated by the baser impulses and stop worshipping God. These people are stupid and evil who don't even understand that all these things are part of the web created by the Almighty.
"Caturvidha Bhajante Mam Janah Sukrtino'rjuna Arto Jijnasurartharthi Jnani Ca Bharatarsabha"
This Sloka says that there are four kinds of good people who worship god, those who desire earthly gains, those who are suffering, those who seek knowledge and those who possess wisdom.
"Tesam Jnani Nityayukta Ekabhaktirvisisyate Priyo Hi Jnanino'tyarthamaham Sa Ca Mama Priyah"
This Shloka tells that out of the devotees, there are some wise people who want something in return and the people who don't expect any fruit in return of the worship. God loves the people who don't expect anything in return as their love towards the god is true.
"Udarah Sarva Evaite, Jnani Tvatmaiva Me Matam Asthitah Sa Hi Yuktatma Mamevanuttamam Gatim"
This Sloka states that all those who worship God are commendable. But the outstanding devotees, who worship God with the single motive to merge in the God, are the true devotees who have achieved the highest aim of life.
3. Durga Sloka

On www.ganesh.us there are many slokas, not only from Ganeshji, but also about: Early Morning Sloka Bhagavad Gita Slokas Goddess Durga Slokas Bedtime Sloka Lord Ganesha Slokas Goddess Parvati Slokas Holy Bath Sloka Lord Krishna Slokas Lord Rama Slokas Sloka While Eating Goddess Saraswati Slokas Lord Shiva Slokas Sloka While Lighting Lamp Lord Vishnu Slokas Lord Hanuman Slokas Goddess Lakshmi Slokas

More Slokas
अगस्त्यम कुम्भकर्णं च शनिंच बडवानलं आहार परिपाकार्थ स्मरेद भीमं च पंचमं
Agastyam kumbhakarnam cha shanim cha badavaanalam Aahaara paripaakaartham smared bhimam cha panchakam
Chant this mantra while caressing your stomach with your left hand in the anti clock wise direction after having your meal. It helps in quick digestion.
Slokas for our kids - categorised based on activity.
Every activity in one's life is viewed as a result of the powers above. Hence each activity is revered and a prayer chanted to execute the task on hand more out of sincerity and devotion rather than out of "i know everything" attitude.
It is said that: Two things define your success in life: 1) The way you manage when you have nothing 2) The way you behave when you have everything
These slokas help not only keep one grounded but also reduce greatly the haste involved.
Recalling the sloka and chanting it, by itself and unknowingly induces a pause before the start of the activity which helps free flow of thoughts and a cooler approach to activity on hand...
one who wears a white garment, all pervading one who has a brilliant complexion (like the full moon) one who has four hands, one who has an ever smiling face I meditate upon thee for the removal of all obstacles.
A quick mind teaser: Any idea which god is invoked in this sloka?! Well, this as all our elders have taught us, is indeed a ganesha sloka but the name never figures and so the confusion. Well, the clue to the God is here: a) "sasi varnam" - Vishnu is gen. megha varnam but here it is mentioned sasi varnam. b) "sarva vignoba santhaye" - Ganesha is the only god called upon to remove obstacles and as maha periyava puts it he is the only vigna nashaka and hence this sloka refers to Ganesha. c) "Visnum" - Lord Ganesha is actually called upon to protect and hence the word "visnum" or "the one who protects"
2) Prarthana Twameva mata cha pita twameva Twameva bandhushcha sakha twameva Twameva vidya dravinam twameva Twameva sarvam mama deva deva
You are my mother and my father You are my relative and friend You are my knowledge and my wealth You are my all O Lord of Lords.
3) EARLY MORNING PRAYERS (No idols, God is in our own self) The first thing when we get up in the morning before we see anyone or anything we must look at our open palms joint together and recite this mantra
Karaagre vasate lakshmi karamadhye saraswati karamooleh tu govinda prabhaate karadarshanam
The front part of the hands (the finger tips) are ascribed to Goddess Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, the middle part (the palm proper) to Goddess Saraswati - the Goddess of learning and the root (the part of of hand near the wrist) to Govinda (God). Therefore, every morning, one should have a respectful look at one's hand which symbolizes honest labor.
4) BEFORE GETTING DOWN FROM THE BED Samudravasane devi parvatastana mandale vishnupatni namastubhyam paada sparsham kshamasva me

Title: Re: 14 Slokas and Special Slokas for each separate day of the week as pdf file
Post by: Triemn on June 25, 2022, 04:27:08 AM
