Title: In praise of the omniscient Lord Datta
Post by: dattaseva on October 27, 2016, 12:45:44 PM
Shri Anjaneya Sharma ji is a famous singer, but lost his voice due to paralysis. He visited Swami along with his wife Smt. Kameshwaramma, fell on the feet of Swami praying for his voice. Swami told “Datta will give you voice now, for sometime only so that you can sing songs before Me. If you want voice permanently in this life, you will be dumb throughout life in the next birth. Now you are more than 60 yrs. This is the fruit of the sin done by you since you wounded the throat of a pigeon staying in the temple of Lord Krishna”

Sharma ji thought for some time and told that he is not willing to become dumb throughout life in the next birth. Sharma ji started singing song of Tyagaraja “Naada tanu manisam...”. Swami also sang the same supporting him. Sharma ji told that he experienced support as if Lord Shiva is singing with him like sage Naarada supported Tyagaraja while singing. Swami composed and sang the following songs in the tunes of songs of Shri Dikshita on Shri Lord Dattatreya on that occasion.

Sanskrit
1) Shri Dattatreyam Namaamyaham, Hamsa gaurda nandi vaaham. (pallavi or chorus)

Brahma Vishnu Shiva muulaadhaaram, varshita Vedaantaamruta dhaaram,
Kunda kusheshaya kuvalaya haaram, kshanakruta jambhaasura samhaaram,

Samkalpaakruti maayaa jaalam, vichitra leelaa vinoda kaalam.

Salutations to Shri Dattatreya, whose vehicles are Swan, Kite and bull. (chorus)

He is the source of three divine forms, He rains streams of philosophynectar,
With garlands of red, blue and white flowers, killed Jambha demon in minute,
Essence of divine nectar of scriptures, just by His look you cross worldsea,
All creation is His materialised will, entertained by own amazing plays!

2) Vedanaayaka Datta-paada-maashraye (pallavi or chorus)

Aashrita praaninaam sadyah khaaditaakhila khedam,
Jnaana pradaanena hrudaya medurita modam,
Nyaasa maatrenaiva naashita naastika vaadam,
Nakha kaanti kiranai ranaadyavidyaa bhedam.

English
I surrender to the foot of Datta, the leader of scripture. (chorus)

It swallows grief of all surrendering devotees,
It pleases heart by giving spiritual knowledge,
By entry itself, the atheism loses its address,
Infinite ignorance breaks by rays of its nails.

Aphala premonmattaaya, karunaa rasa bhara chittaaya    (pallavi or chorus)

Jnaana kaarakaaya, daitya maarakaaya, vipat nivaarakaaya.

English
Salutations, Salutations to preacher Datta, all His money is spiritual knowledge,
He is mad of devotees serving without aspirations, His mind is full of kindness. (chorus)


Conch, Wheel, Damaruka, Trishula, water-tumbler and garland of beads are
Seen in His six hands, attracts our minds, wanders in three worlds, kills devils,
Walks on ‘Sahya hill’ and creates all worlds,
Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatkumara, Sanatsujata are four Vedas as dogs,
Above worldly logic, carried by minds of sages, absolutely meditated God,
Having very beautiful personality and the leader of all divine sages,
Lift of the devotees, boat in the illusion-sea, promoter of our intelligence,
Source of spiritual knowledge, killer of demons and solution of problems.


Sanskrit

Jaganti santatam chintaye Shri Dattam tam. (pallavi or chorus)

Maanavebhyo maanavaakruti ravatarantam,
Astasiddhibhi raastikatvam sthaapayantam.

English
I always think about that Shri Datta, who always
Creates, rules and dissolves all the worlds. (chorus)


He enlightens the true essence of Yoga-knowledge,
He attracts all those, who are keen of final truth,
He comes down in human form for human beings,
He establishes theism by challenging miracles.

Salutation to Guru Datta-Brahma, Shri Datta-Vishnu,
Prabhu Datta-Shiva, the prince of philosophy. (chorus)


He is the rising Sun for the intelligence-lotus flowers,
He is divine cow giving milk stream of eternal boons,
He is the middle son of mother Anasuya,
He is surrounded by four Veda-dogs at feet.
