What is Dharma?
-Katha Upanishad I, ii, 15-17
Sanatana (eternal) Dharma as a universal tradition has room for all faiths and
all religious and spiritual practices regardless of the time or country of their
origin. Yet it places religious and spiritual teachings in their appropriate place
relative to the ultimate goal of Self-realization, to which secondary practices
are subordinated. Sanatana Dharma also recognizes that the greater portion of
human religious aspirations has always been unknown, undefined and outside
of any institutionalized belief. Sanatana Dharma thereby gives reverence to
individual spiritual experience over any formal religious doctrine. Wherever
the Universal Truth is manifest; there is Sanatana Dharmawhether it is in a
field of religion, art or science, or in the life of a person or community.
Wherever the Universal Truth is not recognized, or is scaled down or limited to
a particular group, book or person, even if done so in the name of God, there
Sanatana Dharma ceases to function, whatever the activity is called.
-Dr. David Frawley
Expert on Hindu philosophy and religion.
The symbol of Om contains of three curves, one semicircle and a dot. The
large lower curve symbolizes the waking state; the upper curve denotes deep
sleep (or the unconscious) state, and the lower curve (which lies between deep
sleep and the waking state) signifies the dream state. These three states of an
individuals consciousness, and therefore the entire physical phenomenon, are
represented by the three curves. The dot signifies the Absolute (fourth or
Turiya state of consciousness), which illuminates the other three states. The
semicircle symbolizes maya and separates the dot from the other three curves.
The semicircle is open on the top, which means that the absolute is infinite and
is not affected by maya. Maya only affects the manifested phenomenon. In
this way the form of Om symbolizes the infinite Brahman and the entire
Universe.
Uttering the monosyllable Om, the eternal world of Brahman, One who departs
leaving the body (at death), he attains the superior goal.
By the laws of Dharma that govern body and mind, you must fear sin and act
righteously. Wise men by thinking and behaving in this way become worthy to
gain bliss both here and hereafter.
-Bhagavad Gita, 8.13

Mantras and Prayers
-Natchintanai Scripture
A mantra is a sacred syllable, word or verse, which has been revealed to a sage
in deep meditation. A mantra, when recited with devotion, concentration and
understanding, revitalizes the body and mind with mystic power, and
harmonizes thought and action.
The Significance of the Symbol Om

The symbol Om (also called Pranava),
is the most sacred symbol in Hinduism.
Volumes have been written in Sanskrit
illustrating the significance of this mystic
symbol. Although this symbol is mentioned in
all the Upanishads and in all Hindu scriptures,it
is especially elaborated upon in the
Taittiriya,Chandogya and Mundaka Upanishads.
A mantra, when repeated constantly during meditation, first loudly and then
through silent and mental chanting, changes the consciousness.
Prayer is uplifting inspiring and fascinating for the mind and it has great power.
Therefore, it is very important that each of you learns to pray. Through prayer
you purify your mind and gain spiritual strength. Thus prayer is the foundation
of success.
In the following pages, some of the famous and more popular mantras and
prayers are compiled together with most of their meanings translated into the
English Language.
The goal, which all Vedas declare, which all

austerities aim at, and which human desire when
they live a life continence, I will tell you briefly it is Om. The syllable Om is
indeed Brahman. This syllable Om is the highest. Whosoever knows this
symbol obtains all that he desires. This is the best support; this is the highest
support. Whosoever knows this support is adored in the world of Brahman.
Kirtan and Bhajan
Slokas are mostly making a description of God. They simply say I salute the
God who is described as having certain forms etc.
When a mantra is sung or chanted, whether by oneself or in a group of devoted

aspirants, it is termed as Kirtanthe glorification of God. Prayers or symbolic
stories of God may
also be sung in a Kirtan.
Vedic Verses are more powerful than Prarthanas or Sthothras. Vedic Verses
have to be chanted according to specified rules of raising or lowering the voice.
It is intended to cause certain vibrations, which (if correctly recited) could
physically produce results. Vedas are taught from Guru (Teacher) to Manava
(student) orally. The Manava later with accomplishment of wisdom becomes a
Guru and teaches Vedas to his Manavas. Vedas cannot be simply learnt reading
from books, without directives from a Guru.
The singing and chanting of Kirtan creates an elevated mental condition for
practicing meditation or entering into an intense form of spiritual practice.
Kirtan is a powerful and unique method of recharging the subconscious with
spiritual vibrations.
Slokas and Sthothras
Sloka means verse. Prayers are in the form of verses to make them musical and
also to be set to a standard. Prarthana Sloka is therefore Prayer Verse.
Mantras and Slokas

Om Mantra
These verses are generally directed towards a God or Goddess. The person who
chants these powerful verses invokes the respective God or Goddess referred to
in the verse. By doing with absolute faith and concentration, the person
concerned will be able to achieve a steady and peaceful mind full of devotion.
Om, Om, Om
Prarthana Sloka is a combination of two Sanskrit words. Prarth is the root of a

verb which means "to beg". Prarthana is the
noun formation from this root generally meaning
"making prayer" Prayers which include a request
are Prarthanas.
Om is the original sound, the sound of

Brahman, the supreme universal
reality
Prayer for Education, Enlightenment and Success

Om Saha Naavavatu,
Saha Nau Bhunaktu
Saha veeryam karavaavahai.
Tejasvi-navadhee-tamastu
Maa vidvishaavahai
Prarthana can also be made in the form of

sentences. The Ashtothara satha Namani
meaning One hundred and eight names is
Prarthana in prose (sentences). Every God or
Goddess has separate Ashtothara satha Namani.
There are even Thrisathi Namani (300 names) and also Ashtothara Sahasra
Namani (1008 names). Instead of chanting Prarthana Slokas one can recite
Ashtothara Namani and make prayers. But what is most important is absolute
faith and concentration. If one can understand the real meaning of the prayers,
it will facilitate concentration.

Sthotras are also verses of prayers. The word Sthotra comes from the verb
Sthut. It means "to praise". Very similar to Ashtotra satha Namani etc. Sthotras
also are for a particular God or Goddess. Sthotras are directed to a God or
Goddess like a stream that flows towards a destination. Sthotra is a hymn or
composition in praise of a God or Goddess. By chanting the Sthotras, the mind
of the person is carried away towards the form of the God or Goddess in an
attempt to visualize same. Prarthana Slokas have a request to God. Sthothra
Om, may the Lord protect us both

(guru and disciple), may he cause us to
enjoy (the supreme), May we exert
together. May our studies be through
and faithful (to become brilliant).
May we never quarrel/hate each other.
O Lord Ganesha possessing a large

body(mahakaya) curved trunk
(vakratunda), with the brilliance
of a million suns (surya koti), please
make all my work free of obstacles
always.
Gayatri Mantra
The Gayatri Mantra is the most sacred of the RigVeda Mantras. Gayatri
means, the savior of the singer. Reciting this prayer protects one from harm,
dispels the darkness of ignorance and illuminates the world.
Om Bhur Bhuva Swaha
Mother who subsists as all three Kalas
Tat Savitur Varenyam
(Lapses of time: past, present and
Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi

Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat
future), in all three Lokas (worlds or

realms of experience), and all three
Gunas (Universal Attributes: harmony,
agitation and inertial), I pray to you to
illuminate my intellect and dispel my
ignorance, just as the splendorous
sunlight dispels all darkness. I pray to
you to make my intellect serene and
bright.

Please listen to my wish, Shri

Nathji,
Take me to where you live.
O my helper during my end time,
Dont push me away,
I have already arrived at your
doorstep.
You are a sea of pity.
I just want one drop of it,
The sea wont dry up in just one
drop.
Read my insides if you like.
Just by looking at Mehndhi leaves
you cant say it colors red
Yet the red color is spread
throughout the leaf.
Ma
Hare Thanay Samju Nay Shu Samjavu
Hare Ketho Anthar Koli Nay Bathavu
Hare Thare Bhaktho Nay Ekaj Eshe
Ma
Who am I to make you

understand?
If you want, I can open up my
inside (heart) and show you.
Your devotee only has one hope.
