Sri Rudram

INTRODUCTION

Śrī Rudram is the most popular and powerful of the chants that are found in the 4th kāṇḍa (chapter) of the Taittirīya saṃhitā of the Yajur veda. It has the śiva pañcākṣarī mantra at its centre. Rudra, the divine aspect of Lord Shiva, is the powerful Guru who goads His disciples to overcome inimical forces, triumph over enemies and rise up to fulfill the obligations of life and go beyond. What appears initially to be a prayer for worldly benefits alone, as we delve deeper, slowly unfolds its true depth.

The chant progresses from praying for material benefits to seeking emotional upliftment and mental stability with the aid of prayers and rituals. The prayer promotes harmonious existence with natural forces such that these forces become the benefactors for pushing the aspirant to the state where his wants are mitigated, and he begins to have a deeper look at himself. He progresses from the state of aiming for the śakti (energy) to change what he can, toaccepting what he cannot change with his buddhi (intelligence). The intense chanting itself is the yukti or the technique to jump to the state where we understand that everything around us is forever changing and that

change is the only phenomenon that is constant. This knowledge makes us seek that which undergoes no change. The advent of divine power in the form of the Master is the fresh breeze of bliss that can uplift everyone. In this edition we of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam are immensely pleased to present to the readers the words of wisdom of our Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda as they embellish the chants of Śrī Rudram and make them easy for modern man to understand. The words of the Master have the power to transform our inner space, therby making us resonate with the inner significance of these chants.

This edition is an attempt to make the ancient wisdom applicable for the man of this age. The Master’s words of wisdom are the highlights of each of these verses. These words will help us apply this ancient everlasting mantra to the here and hereafter.

We appreciate the various editions of Rudram compiled by different authors and we have taken guidance from them. We are happy to introduce the svara (pitch) markings in the English transliteration which, we feel, will help readers from all over the world to understand and recite the mantras. We thank Ma Ananda Punidavathi for having compiled this work.

For this great Rudrādhyāyapraśna mahāmantra (the great mantra on Rudra ) the rulling sage is aghora(kaṇva) and the metre of the verse is anuṣṭup. That Āditya (Sun)who appears before us as Saṅkarsanamūrti is the same Rudra .

The terrifying form of Rudra as delineated is meant to awaken the soul that is in the dream state and is in the waking dream state both at the same time.

namaḥ śivāyetī bījam. śivatarāyeti śaktiḥ. mahādevāyeti kīlakam. śrī sāmbasadāśiva-prasādasiddhyarthe jape viniyogaḥ. || 1 ||

Namaḥ śivāya is the seed mantra, śivatarāya is the energy, and Mahādevâya is the kīlakam (lynchpin). The chant is done to invoke the blessings and grace of the Lord and His consort

Japa yajña (chant as a form of sacrifice) is an effective means of connecting with the divine energy that is present within each one of us.

Salutations to the thumb, the embodiment of Agnihotra. The forefinger represents the new and full moon.

Salutations to the middlefinger which indicates the cāturmāsya vrata during rainy season. The ring finger represents the animal tendencies which are bound.

Salutations to the little finger which represents the Jyotiṣṭoma rite. The palm and back of the hand embody the doership in all actions.

Salutations and purification of the heart which represents the Agnihotra. To the purification of the head symbolizing the new and full moon worship.

Salutations and purification of the tuft of hair symbolizing the cāturmāsya vrata. The armour symbolizes the animal tendencies which are kept bound.

Salutations and purification of the three eyes which symbolizes the Jyotiṣṭoma rite. Salutations to the weapon which is the embodiment of all yajñas.

All the above mentioned karmas like Agnihotra, cāturmāsya, Jyotiṣṭoma (the different types of sacrifices), etc., are part and parcel of Śrī Rudra Svarūpa (the Rudra form) and come under its fold, and allow the seeker to perceive His form.

Adorned with the glacier like hue of smeared ash, His dark throat adorned with snakes, the cresent moon decorating His matted locks, the all encompassing form of Rudra wearing the beautiful rudraksha seeds, removes all fears. May that form grant properity, encircled with the recitation of Rudra Sūkta (chants in praise of Rudra)

Rudra is the form that inspires and reveals to us the innate nature of expansiveness that is present in everything conceivable. Depending on the intensity of the chanting, these chants are capable of making us feel the sense of release.

Each of the syllables in Sanskrit has the power to invoke some element, and almost all the letters are the bīja (seed) mantras for some power. The above prayer is for the purification of the elements around us as we chant Rudram.

The chants begin with prayers to Ganapati, the foremost among gods . He is considered the benefactor for the successful completion of all auspicious acts. He is the kavi or the seer of the mantras (chants). Let us pay our obeisance to that Ananda Ganapati for the successful completion of Rudram chanting.

The first deity to be addressed in the pantheon of Hindu religion is Ganeśa, the Lord of the Mūlādhāra cakra (the energy center at the base of the back bone). As the position suggests he removes all the obstacles that are the result of our own mental fantasies. He helps us maintain our balance and makes us succeed in our endeavours.

May I with Your grace, O Lord, have happiness, bliss, delight, desires fulfilled, kindness, clear mind and good fortune, everlasting fame and prosperity, and may I, through your grace, have the power of control, support, fortitude, nobility, and ability to impart knowledge, discovery, creativity, power of procreation, the power to follow the moral order, freedom from severe illness and diseases, capacity to heal, long life, and freedom from fear. May I be blessed with a good family and good children and may every day dawn brightly and auspiciously.

The very aim of human life is enlightenment. The possibility to become enlightened lies in the kuṇḍalini śakti, an extraordinary potential energy that is hidden inside every human body. When you awaken this energy it will take you to a different plane of consciousness, a different plane of existence.

Āgāmya karma (the desires that have been accumalated in this birth) collectively get recorded in the system as unfulfilled desires, which in turn give rise to diseases. The chant of Rudram helps in the relief from the āgāmya as well as from the roga (diseases).

Proper recitation of these chants helps ward off evil spirits that enter our system through the navel region and causes diseases. Destroying psychological foes calls for a dexterity which only mantras of the caliber of Rudram can impart. Intensity gives the desired results.

Salutation to the ruddy One, Lord of woods, Lord of mantras, the harbinger of auspiciousness and wealth, the Lord who opens the door to the secret of gathering wealth, extender of the world, creator of riches, Lord of herbs, Lord who is present both in the loud prayers of the devotees as well as in the wails of the enemies, the master of the foot soldiers, the One manifest in everything and the Lord of the noble minded.

Any action done with utmost intensity helps us overcome the effects of that action as well as the desire to fulfill it. This helps us widen our dimension, as Rudra in His various dimension indicates.

May I with Your grace, O Lord, have happiness, bliss, delight, desires fulfilled, kindness, clear mind and good fortune, everlasting fame and prosperity, and may I, through your grace, have the power of control, support, fortitude, nobility, ability to impart knowledge, discovery, creativity, power of procreation, the power to follow the moral order, freedom from severe illness, and diseases, capacity to heal, long life, freedom from fear, good family and good children, and may every day dawn brightly and auspiciously.

The very aim of human life is enlightenment. The possibility of becoming enlightened lies in the kundalini śakti, an extraordinary potential energy which is hidden inside every human body. If it can be awakened it will take you to a different plane of consciousness, a different plane of existence.

This whole anuvāka (poetic stanza) indicates the necessity of living in harmony with nature around us and nurturing the same for posterity and our prosperity.

Rudra is the benevolent God who showers His grace on all his seekers irrespective of their being qualified or not. There is no apprehension as regards His immense power as this mantra amply elaborates.

All the above mentioned are the prayers for a fulfilling life on earth.

Prayers and chants are the means by which we travel the path from wants and desires to the understanding of the deeper truths of the impermanence of everything that is around us, including our name and form.

Along with Indra may I have the blessing of the earth, the sky, the vast space, the directions, the crest and the leader of the yuga (the divine cycle of time consisting of four periods).

These gods signify the various divine powers that are present in each human being. The Master is that divine energy that has come to awaken us from the deep slumber of ignorance and darkness, and to make us understand and relish the bliss breeze blowing everywhere in everything.

All these powers are indicative of the necessity to maintain harmony among the various energies that are present in the human body.

Everything that is visualized in nature is but a macrocosmic representation of the truth that is available for our seeking in the inner world. We just have to look in with awareness.

Gratitude is the finest of emotions every man has to integrate into his being. When we start feeling grateful for small things, our whole sensitivity will increase. We will become more refined. Our whole attitude towards life will move to a different plane.

May I be blessed with the fuel stick, the darbha (a type of grass used in sacrifices) grass, the altar, ladles, the bowl, the pressing stones, the hand press, and the pot for keeping the extracted soma juice (divine drink). May I be blessed with Vāyu (wind god) for holding the soma juice, the mixing bowl, the oblation holder, the house, the seat for the gods, the cakes being offered and the cooked offerings, the final bath and the chants of offering.

Each of these mantras leads us from the outer sacrifice to the inner sacrifice that should take place at the spiritual level.

Just let go off your so-called boundaries in order to comprehend the order in the cosmic chaos. When you experience that, you experience bliss. When you realize the chaos within your order, you exude compassion.
