Shree Satyanarayana Katha Lyrics

This coming Wednesday is Guru Purnima. I used to perform Shree Satyanarayana Pooje every month at my home with the limited time I had in the morning. Now being close to the temple, we plan on visiting and performing the pooje at the temple. 

While I did the pooje at home, I used to recite this Lyrics which has the entire story of the Satyanarayana katha or story. It is in Kannada, I have translated it in English and will soon upload the tune. 

When I use Google Translate some words are easy and some don’t translate so easily. In that case, I type it in Kannada using “Kannada Handwrite” and translate. Takes quite a time to translate but worth it for followers who don’t know Kannada.

Ms. Bhavana Damle would like to share her favorite song on Lord Vishnu – ” Shri Satyanarayana vrathakatha”. Thanks, Bhavana.

Chakrabja Mandala – ಚಕ್ರಾಬ್ಜ ಮಂಡಲ

Our Guru Sree Madhvacharya has explained in his Tantrasara that “ಪೂಜ್ಯಶ್ಚ್ಹ ಭಾಗವನ್ ನಿತ್ಯಂ ಚಕ್ರಾಬ್ಜಾ ಮಂಡಲೇ”. In English “Poojyascha Bhagavan
nityam chakraabjamandale”.  Worshiping the Almighty Lord with  Chakrabja Mandala – ಚಕ್ರಾಬ್ಜ ಮಂಡಲ as a pedestal or peetha is very rewarding.

So, what is the meaning of Chakrabja Mandala – ಚಕ್ರಾಬ್ಜ ಮಂಡಲ?

• Chakra means wheel
• Abja means Lotus in Sanskrit and
• Mandala is the frame work

I had learnt to draw this when I came to the US several years back from my Brother-in-law Balaji’s ( my sister Suma’s husband) grandmother who was here in the US.

However, due to several reasons this rangoli had completely skipped my mind and I forgot drawing this. During the Shravana Masa, my Little Niece Shwetha, you all know her right? The one who drew our beloved Raghavendra Swamigalu had drawn this for Sree Anantha Padmanabha Vrata. My Sister showed it to me when I visited her house for the festival.

You can see the picture Shwetha has drawn in the picture below, I have a red/yellow arrow pointing to the same. There are two, one exactly below the table, and the other can’t be seen since the God is on top of the rangoli.

I came back home and started searching the drawing online, to find none. Accidentally I opened the “ಸಾಧನ ದೀಪಿಕಾ  or Sadhana Deepika” book I had, and there it was the Rangoli. It is customary to draw this while performing pooje, and than place the Lord or any God you are performing pooje on top of this rangoli.

I will post a step by step instruction on how to draw this Chakrabja Mandala – ಚಕ್ರಾಬ್ಜ ಮಂಡಲ soon. For the time being attached below are images of the same.

1. This image is from my “ಸಾಧನ ದೀಪಿಕಾ  or Sadhana Deepika” book.

2. This image is from SBAT temple. Details of the temple can be found here. Scroll down in the page, and you will see several images.  http://sbat.org/Poojas_Homas.html.

Handbook for performing Festivals

I received an email from a mailing list which I have subscribed, which had links to several books on Hinduism. As I was browsing through the content of the web site which had several important books scanned, I found this simple and very well explained book which has details of all the festivals, the rituals which needs to be followed and so on.. This book is in Kannada. You can read the book online or even download a PDF file, whichever is convenient to you all.

Attached below is the link for the book:

• HABBA HARID1NA MATTU VRATACHARANE
• PDF for the same

P.S: The details for all the many festivals coming during Shravan Masa starts from page 32 onwards.

Kapadu Sri SatyaNarayana Lyrics

The lyrics for this famous song Kapadu Sri SatyaNarayana was provided by Mr. ನಾಗೇಶ್ ಕುಮಾರ್. ತುಂಬ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು ನಾಗೇಶ್ ಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರೇ.  I just copied and pasted from your comment on the lyrics page into this post.

ಸತ್ಯಾತ್ಮ ಸತ್ಯ ಕಾಮ ಸತ್ಯ ರೂಪ ಸತ್ಯ ಸಂಕಲ್ಪ
ಸತ್ಯ ದೇವ ಸತ್ಯ ಪೂರ್ಣ ಸತ್ಯಾನಂದ

ಕಾಪಾಡು ಶ್ರೀ ಸತ್ಯನಾರಾಯಣ
ಪನ್ನಗ ಶಯನ ಪಾವನ ಚರಣ
ನಂಬಿಹೆ ನಿನ್ನ

ನಾರಾಯಣ ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಿನಾರಾಯಣ
ನಾರಾಯಣ ಸತ್ಯನಾರಾಯಣ

ಮನವೆಂಬ ಮಂಟಪ ಬೆಳಕಾಗಿದೆ
ಹರಿನಾಮದಾ ಮಂತ್ರವೇ ತುಂಬಿದೆ
ಎಂದೆಂದು ಸ್ತಿರವಾಗಿ ನೀನಿಲ್ಲಿರು
ನನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದಾಗಿ ಉಸಿರಾಗಿರು

ನನಗಾಗಿ ಏನನ್ನು ನಾ ಬೇಡೆನು
ಧನಕನಕ ಬೇಕೆಂದು ನಾ ಕೇಳೆನು
ಈ ಮನೆಯು ನೀನಿಇರುವ ಗುಡಿಯಾಗಲಿ
ಸುಖ ಶಾಂತಿ ನೆಮ್ಮದಿಯ ನೆಲೆಯಾಗಲಿ

ಕಣ್ಣೀರ ಅಭಿಷೇಕ ನಾ ಮಾಡಿದೆ
ಕರುನಾಳು ನೀ ನನ್ನ ಕಾಪಾಡಿದೆ
ಬರಿದಾದ ಮಡಿಲನ್ನು ನೀ ತುಂಬಿದೆ
ನಾ ಕಾಣದಾನಂದ ನೀ ನೀಡಿದೆ.

And here is the lyrics in English in Baraha. Copy and paste into Baraha to convert to your regional language.

Sree Satyanarayana Aarathi

Sri Satyanarayana Pooje/Pooja

We had been to the Sri Shiva Vishnu Temple(Greenbelt, Maryland) in our area today for the Sri Satyanarayana Pooje. It was done in the evening at 6.30 p.m. There were more than 500 people and the temple was filled. It was so nice doing the pooje with so many people, and in the temple.

Link to Sri Shiva Vishnu Temple is:

• Sri Shiva Vishnu Temple, Greenbelt, MD

For every family who performed the pooje, the temple gave Sri Satyanarayana Idol, the booklet which contains the slokas and the story, 2 bananas and one laddu as prasada.

The pooje also brought back so many memories back from home. My Brother-in-law does the pooje every month in his house. The whole family meets in his house for this pooje. We also plan our visit so that we are there for the Sri Satyanarayana pooje at his house.

Sri Satyanarayana Pooje is a ritual performed by Hindus before/on any major occasion like marriage, house warming ceremony etc. It can also be performed on any day for any reason.

The Sri Satyanarayana Pooje is usually done on the Poornima or Hunnime or Full Moon day of every month. It is also done on special occasions and during times of achievements as an offering of gratitude to the Lord.

I will post the procedure to perform this pooje, all the slokas as well as the story in the next couple of days.

Until than, here is the picture we had taken in my Brother-in-law’s house during the pooje and the elaborate, delicious Authentic Madhwa lunch.

Here are some pictures taken before and after doing the Pooje at my brother-in-laws house warming in Bangalore.

Preparation for the pooje

After the pooje
