Story of Kala Bhairav

kala bhairava was a mendicant(beggar) with a begging bowl in hand. the begging bowl was not just any vessel. it was the skull of brahma's fifth head. lord shiva cut it off to humble brahma and vishnu.

This story here relates to the earlier post 'The origin of Brahma and vishnu' that i posted a few days ago.

ee kalabhairavudine manam mudduga aadi bhikshuvu ani antaamu.

so here goes the story:

Brahmâ and Vishnu were disputing with each other for the status of supreme God and appealed to the testimony of the four Vedas, which unanimously proclaimed Rudra-Shiva as the Ultimate Truth of the Universe. But the disputants were unable to accept that Rudra, endowed with so many revolting symbols of impurity and degradation, could be identical with the Absolute Reality of Brahman. Brahmâ laughed scornfully: "How could the Brahman, free of all attachment, lustily sport with his wife in the company of his troop of deformed churn-goblins (pramatha)?" However, Rudra's supremacy was finally reconfirmed by the esoteric sound-syllable, Omkâra, quintessence of the Veda and most condensed symbol of Brahman, who pointed out that Shiva's wife is not adventitious to her husband but on the contrary embodies his own blissful essence. Just then an immense pillar of flame manifested itself in their midst, within which was recognized the towering figure of the three-eyed Rudra bearing his trident, serpents and crescent moon. But the fifth head of Brahmâ taunted him: "I know who you are, Rudra, whom I created from my forehead. Take refuge with me and I will protect you, my son!"

Overflowing with anger, Shiva created a blazing Bhairava in human form, addressing this Kâlabhairava as "Lord of Time-Death" (kâla) for he shone like the god of Death: "You are called Bhairava because you are of terrifying features and are capable of supporting the universe. You are called Kâla-Bhairava, for even Time-Death is terrified of you." He ordered him to chastise Brahmâ, promising him in return eternal suzerainty over his city of Kâshî (Vârânasî), the cremation-ground of the Hindu universe, where final emancipation is assured. In a trice, Bhairava ripped off Brahmâ's guilty head with the nail of his left thumb. Seeing this, the terrified Vishnu eulogized Shiva and devotedly recited his sacred hymns, followed in this by the repentant Brahmâ. Thereby they gained his protection by realizing and acknowledging the supreme reality of Shiva. The severed head immediately stuck to Bhairava's hand, where it remained in the form of the skull, destined to serve as his insatiable begging-bowl.Enjoining him to honor Vishnu and Brahmâ, Shiva then directed Bhairava to roam the world in this beggarly condition to atone for the sin of Brahmanicide. "Show to the world the rite of expiation for removing the sin of Brahmanicide. Beg for alms by resorting to the penitential rite of the skull (kapâlavrata)." Creating a maiden renowned as 'Brahmanicide' (brahmahatyâ), Shiva instructed her to relentlessly follow Bhairava everywhere until he reached the holy city of Kâshî to which she would have no access.

Observing the Kâpâlika rite with skull in hand and pursued by the terrible Brahmahatyâ, Bhairava sported freely, laughing, singing and dancing with his goblin horde (pramathas). Stealing more than the hearts of all women, even the chaste wives of the Seven Vedic Sages (sapta-rshi) as he passed through the Daru forest, the erotic ascetic arrived at Vishnu's door to seek redemption only to find his entry barred by the guard, Vishvaksena. Spearing the latter and heaving the corpse of this Brahman on his shoulder, he pressed before Vishnu with outstretched begging-bowl. Vishnu split his own forehead-vein (see pic 2) but the out-flowing blood, the only suitable offering, could not fill the skull though it flowed for eons. When Vishnu then tried to dissuade Brahmahatyâ from tormenting Bhairava, the criminal observed that "beggars are not intoxicated by the alms they receive as (are others) by drinking the wine of worldly honor." Vishnu venerated him as the Supreme Being, untainted by sins like Brahmanicide, and acknowledged that his dependence and degradation were a mere fancy. Before leaving joyously to beg elsewhere, Bhairava reciprocated by recognizing Vishnu as his foremost disciple and acknowledged the latter's status as "grantor of boons to all the gods." On arriving at Kâshî, Brahmahatyâ sank into the nether-world, and the holy ground on which the skull fell, freeing Bhairava from his Brahmanicide, came to be known as Kapâlamocana. It was on the eighth day (ashtamî) in the dark (waning moon) half of the month of Mârgashîrsha that Lord Shiva manifested himself as Bhairava. Ever since, by performing ablution at Kapâlamocana one is rid of even the worst sin of brahmanicide (brahmahatyâ); and whosoever fasts on this day (Bhairavâshtamî) in front of Kâlabhairava (temple at Kâshî) and stays awake at night is freed from great sins.

The original Kâla Bhairava temple was located on the banks of the Kapâlamocana Tîrtha itself, in the Omkâreshvara area north of Maidâgin in Vâranasî, where Bhairava remained as the 'Sin-Eater' (Pâpa-Bhakshana) par excellence to devour the accumulated sins of devotees and pilgrims. If the pilgrims to Kâshî do not fear death there, this would be because their pilgrimage to the Mahâshmashâna is conceived on the ritual model of Bhairava's own arrival at Kâshî for absolution from his terrible sin and his subsequent establishment there. The paradox of Bhairava's scapegoat function even after his 'purification' can be explained as a 'lawful irregularity' resulting from the two opposing valorizations, diachronically disjoined in the myth, of his transgressive essence; it matches the complementary paradox of the pure Kâshî-Vishvanâtha himself being identified esoterically with the impure criminal Bhairava. 

Kala Bhairava Ashtakam


He is the form of Shiva who controls the growth and management of time. (Kala means time). Whoever wants to spend, manage or ration their time in a proper manner should pray to him.
He is also considered as the guardian of temples of Lord Shiva. After locking the doors of the temple of Lord Shiva, the keys are ceremonially offered to Bhairava and taken back in most of the Shiva temples.
This very musical stotra of Lord Kalabhairava is supposed to be written by Adi Sankara Bhagawath Pada. Even today this ashtakam is recited by the priests of the temple of Kalabhairava in Benares before blessing the devotee with a tap by the cane of Lord Kalabhairava.

Lakshmi Maa



Maa Lakshmi
Maa Lakshmi
Maa Lakshmi or Laxmi is the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity (both material and spiritual), light, wisdom, fortune, fertility, generosity and courage; and the embodiment of beauty, grace and charm. Maa Laxmi also known as MahaLakshmi. Mahalakshmi is said to bring good luck. She is believed to protect her devotees from all kinds of misery and money-related sorrows.
Lakshmi in Sanskrit is derived from its elemental form laks, meaning “to perceive or observe”.This is synonymous with laksya, meaning “aim” or “objective”. The Hindu Sacred Texts Vedas call Mahalakshmi as Lakshyayidhi Lakshmihi which means she is the one who has the object and aim of uplifting mankind.
Goddess Mahalakshmi is called as Shri or Thirumagal(because she is endowed with six auspicious and divine qualities or Gunas and also because she is the source of strength even to Lord Narayana(Vishnu). She is the consort of Vishnu and married Rama (in her incarnation as Sita) and Krishna (as Radha and later Rukmini).
In Hinduism Devas (gods) and asuras (demons) were both mortal at one time. Amrit, the divine nectar that would give immortality could only be obtained by churning the Kshirsagar (Ocean of Milk). The devas and asuras both sought immortality and decided to churn the Kshirsagar. With the devas on one side and the asuras on the other, the samudra manthan commenced. Vishnu incarnated as Kurma, the tortoise, on whom was placed a mountain as a churning pole, and Vasuki, the great venom-spewing serpent, was wrapped around it and used to churn the ocean. A host of divine celestial objects came up during the churning. Among these, importantly, was Goddess Lakshmi, the daughter of the king of the milky ocean. The last to come up was the Amrit. With this, the avatar of Kurma, the tortoise, ended. Vishnu then took up the form of a beautiful maiden to distract the asuras and gave immortality to the devas.
Goddess Mahalakshmi has ever been in existence. Her appearance from samudra manthan is one of her main manifestation only. Goddess Mahalakshmi was also born to the great Sage Bhrigu and she is therefore also called as Bhargavi. Goddess Mahalkshmi is also the sister of the great Guru Sukracharya as well as the great planet Chandra. Each time Vishnu descends on earth as an avatar, He is accompanied by an avatar of Lakshmi.
Lakshmi with Vishnu at Vaikuntha
The moon (chandra) also appeared from the ocean during the churning, making it her brother. Alakshmi, the goddess of misfortune, is Lakshmi’s elder sister. According to the Vishnu Purana, Lakshmi is the daughter of Bhrigu and Khyaati and resided in Swarga, but, due to the curse of Durvasa, she left Swarga and made Ksheersagara her home.
Mahalakshmi is the presiding Goddess of the Middle episode of Devi Mahatmya. Here, she is depicted as Devi in her universal form as Shakti. The manifestation of the Devi to kill Mahishasura is formed by the effulgences of all the gods. The Goddess is described as eighteen-armed, bearing a string of beads, battle axe, mace, arrow, thunderbolt, lotus, bow, water pot, cudgel, lance, sword, shield, conch, bell, wine cup, trident, noose and the discus sudarsana. She has a complexion of coral and is seated on a lotus.[6] She is known as Ashta Dasa Bhuja Mahalakshmi.
She is seen in two forms, Bhudevi and Sridevi, both either side of Sri Venkateshwara or Vishnu. Bhudevi is the representation and totality of the material world or energy, called the aparam Prakriti, in which She is called Mother Earth. Sridevi is the spiritual world or energy, called the Param Prakriti. Most people are mistaken that they are separate beings although they are one, Lakshmi. Lakshmi is the power of Lord Vishnu.[citation needed]
Mahalakshmi’s presence is also found on Lord Sri Venkateswara (at Tirumala) or Vishnu’s chest, at the heart. Lakshmi is the embodiment of love, from which devotion to God or Bhakti flows from. It is through Love/Bhakti or Lakshmi that the atma or soul is able to reach God or Vishnu. Lakshmi plays a special role as the mediator between her husband Lord Vishnu and his worldly devotees. While Vishnu is often conceived of as a stern, easily perturbed patriarch, Lakshmi represents a more soothing, warm and approachable mother figure who willingly intervenes in the lives of devotees on his behalf. Often, it is Lakshmi who acts as the advocate for the request of a given mortal. When asking Vishnu for grace or the forgiveness of sins, Hindus often approach him through the intermediary presence of Lakshmi. She is also the personification of the spiritual energy within us and the universe, called Kundalini. Also, she embodies the spiritual world, also known as Vaikunta, the abode of Lakshmi-Narayana or Vishnu, or what would be considered Heaven in Vaishnavism. She is also the divine qualities of God and the soul. Lakshmi is the embodiment of God’s superior spiritual feminine energy, or the Param Prakriti, which purifies, empowers and uplifts the individual. Hence, she is called the Goddess of Fortune. Due to her motherly feelings and being the consort of Narayan (Supreme Being), she is believed as the Mother of the Universe.
Lakshmi has many names. She is known to be very closely associated with the lotus, and her many epithets are connected to the flower, such as:
Prakruti – Goddess Mahalakshmi is the very personification of nature, the centre of all, the manifested and the unmanifested.
Vikruti – Goddess Mahalakshmi is the Multi-Faceted Nature, who assumes many forms, known by numerous names, yet is attributeless.
Vidya - Goddess Mahalakshmi is the very personification of Wisdom.

She is also referred to as Jaganmaatha (“Mother of the Universe”) in Shri Mahalakshmi Ashtakam. Rama and Indira are popular.
Goddess Mahalakshmi is also known to preside over 16 forms of worldly wealth excluding Ashta siddhis, gnana and imparting gnana. They are as follows: (1) Fame; (2) Knowledge; (3)Courage and Strength; (4) Victory; (5) Good Children; (6) Valor; (7) Gold, Gems and Other Valuables; (8) Grains in abundance; (9) Happiness; (10) Bliss; (11) Intelligence; (12) Beauty;(13) Higher Aim, High Thinking and Higher Meditation; (14) Morality and Ethics; (15) Good Health; (16) Long Life.
Maa Mahalaxmi worshiped as in Eight forms named Ashta Lakshmi. Ashta Lakshmi, also spelled as Ashtalakshmi are a group of eight Hindu goddesses, who preside over eight sources of wealth and thus represent the powers of Shri-Lakshmi (The Hindu goddess of wealth). Thus, the ‘Ashta Lakshmi’ are considered secondary manifestations of the goddess Lakshmi. “Wealth” in the context of Ashta-Lakshmi means prosperity, good health, knowledge, strength, progeny, and power. The Ashta Lakshmi are always depicted and worshipped in a group in temples.

Gayatri Mantra


gayatri


The Gayatri Mantra
The vedic form of the famous Gayatri mantra:
Aum bhur-bhuvah-swah tat savitur varenyam
bhargo devasya dheemahi dhiyo yo nah Prachodayat.
Summary of the Mantra:
May we meditate on the Glory of the Lord, the Remover of pains and sorrows, the Bestower of happiness, Who has created the universe, and Who is the embodiment of knowledge and light. May the Lord, enlighten our intellect in the right direction by destroying all our sins and ignorance.
Meaning of each letter in mantra:
---------------------------------
OM = Almighty God
BHOOR = Embodiment of vital or spiritual energy
BHUVAHA = Destroyer of suffering
SWAHA = Embodiment of happiness
TAT = That (indicating God)
SAVITUR = Bright, luminous, like and sun
VARENIYAM = Supreme, best
BARGO = Destroyer of sins
DEVASYA = Divine
DHEEMAHI = May receive
DHIYO = Intellect
YO = Who
NAHA = Our
PRACHODAYAT = May inspire
---------------------------------
Gayatri is a Mantra(vedic hymn) which inspires righteous wisdom its meaning is that the Almighty God may illuminate our intellect which may lead us to righteous path. This is most important teaching. All the problems of a person are solved if he is endowed with the gift of righteous wisdom. Having endowed with far sighted wisdom, a man is neither entangled in calamity nor does he tread wrong path. Righteous wisdom stars emerging as soon as a methodical recitation of this Mantra is performed.
"May we meditate on the Glory of the Lord, the Remover of pains and sorrows, the Bestower of happiness, Who has created the universe, and Who is the embodiment of knowledge and light. May the Lord, enlighten our intellect in the right direction by destroying all our sins and ignorance."
The Gayatri Mantra is the form of eternal truth. It is the heart of all beings and the eternal Ved Mantra. Gayatri destroys the sins of the world. All the four Vedas have originated from this mantra:
This can be translated: Aum. Let us contemplate the spirit of the divine of the earth, the atmosphere and heaven. May that inspire our minds. Savitri is the Sun and this mantra is recited at the three junctions or twilight of the day. Here is described how the mantra Aum hums in the base or Muladhara chakra, and moves through seven stages to the chakra above the head Sahasrara.
Maha Vishnu describes Aum as consisting of the following. Bhur is existence, Bhuvah is the elements, Svah is the Atma of everything, Maha is greatness and light, Tat is Brahman (the absolute). Tapah is all knowledge, Satyam is supremacy and internal wisdom. This tantra connects the three letters of Aum to the seven worlds.
Tat, refers to the first cause of all substance, as fire in the circle of the sun and is supreme Brahman. Savituhu is the source of all living beings. Varenyam is the excellent one who receives adoration.
Bharga destroys sin. Devasya means it is full of light, while Dheemahi refers to knowledge being golden and always within the sun. Dhiyo means Buddhi. Yo stands for energy (tejas).
The mantra is divided into three sections of eight letters and four sections of six letters.
A dhyana (meditation) - Gayatri as having four faces, which are white, yellow, red and black. Yet the tantrik tradition has different views of the Gayatri. For example, in the Matrikabhedatantra, there is a couplet, which says a person who knows the Brahman (the absolute) is a Brahmin.
Gayatri is mother of Vedas. Sadhana of Gayatri mantra is the essence of all Vedas. Even God like Brahma mediates on and performs Jap of Gayatri at the time of twi-light.
Gayatri Jap performed daily for three years realizes God and like air, acquires the power of going where the person wants to go. Merely by offering water to the Sun and performing Jap of three thousand Gayatri mantra at the time of twilight, a person becomes adorable by God.
By Gayatri Sadhana the person may get salvation, wealth, victory in battle, and freedom from disease. A man may know all the four Vedas very well but all his labour goes waste if he does not know Gayatri mantra. A person who worships mantra other than Gayatri cannot get success even if he takes millions of birth.
Rishis, Saints say that there is no other mantra like Gayatri mantra in all the Vedas. Ved, yagya, dan (donation, charity), tap are not equivalent even to a small fraction of Gayatri mantra. Whether a man is pure or impure, he is sitting or walking, in whatever condition a wise man may be, he should perform Gayatri Jap. A man gets rid of all sins by this Jap. Nothing is greater than GAYATRI MANTRA in this as well as other loks for the success of daily work; fulfilment of desires and for development of tapas.
The following guidelines are provided for the Sadhaka:
In Bhavanopanishad, one witness within oneself the effulgent figure of Divine Mother with the different phases of the waxing and waning Moon.
The Devi is to be meditated upon as of a ruddy complexion, with eyes expansive, as an ocean overflowing with waves of grace, with noose, goad, arrows of flowers and a twig of sugar- cane in her hand, surrounded by Anima and other deities and ultimately as one´s own self.
1. Complete faith unflinching loyalty backed by a clear heart towards the deity is required for Sadhana.
2. Do not start Mantra Shakti under any pressure. Trust in God, kindness and patience should be the virtues of a Sadhaka.
3. Avoid harsh speech, lust, anger, restless thoughts, evil company and egoism. Do not get emotional. Mantras on hearsay should be avoided, as they must be authentic.
4. Sadhana done without any specific aim bears fruits early. In case you see any miracle, do not fear. Keep your WILL POWER strong and continue your Sadhana. All troubles will vanish.
5. Brahmacharya or celibacy should be observed during Sadhana. In case of failure, do not lose heart. Try it again and again and you will be crowned with success.
HOW MANTRAS ARE USEFUL:
One´s subconscious mind can help to find the solution through meditation and recitation of Mantras.
1.Purity of thoughts, words and deeds, sincerity and deep seated. Belief in repeating Mantras systematically and without any stress or strain on the brain or body is the keynotes for the efficacy of Mantras.
2. Concentrate and Meditate without having any desires in mind. The Mantra should be recited softly so as to be audible only to be person concerned and not to others. Mantras should be recited in a pleasing musical tone, which will help in concentration.
3.Continuous Sadhana will enable the Sadhaka to find solutions to the problems, attaining peace of mind, reducing mental strain.
4.The Sadhaka should have a light meal, hot and well cooked and in small quantity, as over eating leads to the excitement of the sensory organs which aggravate passions. Onions, Garlic and Meat have stimulating effects on the sensory organs and will do harm to the body than good. Intoxicates and smoking of any kind should be avoided. Lack of control in the diet is a great obstacle to progress. Small quantities of wholesome food purify the mind and a pure mind retains the memory of God.

The japa of Gayatri mantra should be done facing east before sunrise, after bathing. The forehead should remain wet. This is accompanied by applying a thick paste of sandal wood. Gayatri mantra should be recited repeating the sound AUM three times before the mantra. Japa should be done daily either 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 or 11 malas. After doing the mala rub both palms together while reciting the mantra, then rub both hands on the forehead touching the place of the third eyes with both ring fingers while the right hand rubs the right side and the left hand the left side of the forehead, reaching up to the temples. Then bring the hands to the head, then to the eyes, ears, nose, cheeks, back of the neck, front of the neck, in that order. This exercise should be done in a slow rhythm. All the breath (no inhaling or exhaling while touching the starting point, third eye) until the end ( the front of the neck).
FOR ATTAINING WEALTH:
At the end of the Gayatri mantra, repeat SHRING, the Lakshmi Bija, three times. 1 Mala (108 times) should be done everyday. All samagris used in worship should be yellow, and yellow food should be taken for the period japa is done. Use a yellow woolen rug, a mala of yellow haldi (tumeric root) beads, yellow pots, yellow flowers, and yellow prasad for offering. A pinch of saffron should be added in the kalash. The japa should be done in the early morning hours before sunrise.
DISPEL EVIL SPIRITS:
An agnihotra (homa) should be done, and 108 ahutis of ordinary havan samagri should be offered to the fire. After the havan is done, the whitish gray ashes should be collected from the fire place and rubbed on the hands, feet, face, head, stomach and back of the person. The Gayatri mantra should be recited during the rubbing of the ashes. The evil spirit will vanish after one rubbing of the ashes. These ashes should be kept in a bottle and maybe used whenever needed by the attendants of the patient. They can be used on any other patients as well. And one should put ashes in ones hand and recite Gayatri mantra 11 times and keep on reciting while rubbing.
SNAKES SCORPIAN BITES:
Ashes from sandal wood or peepal (Banyan wood), should be obtained after doing homa with 108 recitations of the Gayatri Mantra. The ashes should be collected in a blue bottle. One should observe the following method:
1. Check which nostril is working.
2. Keep ashes in the hand in the same side as the dominant nostril.
3. Recite Gayatri mantra, adding HUNG at the end, while meditating on Gayatri riding a horse. Recite the mantra 11 times.
4. Rub the ashes while chanting the mantra:
AUM BHUR BUVUH SWAHA TATSAVITRU VARENIYEM
BHARGO DEVESYA DHEEMAHI DIYO YO NA PRACHODAYAT HUNG.
5. Keep in another small bottle 10gms of mustard seeds made into paste. Recite the mantra 108 times while making the paste in a stone mortar. This paste should be made and stored like the ashes and used simultaneously or after rubbing the ashes. Take the paste when needed and apply it to the tips of all fingers, all toes, earlobes, navel, tip of the nose and forehead.
This chanting is considered to be especially GOOD on Fridays, on Navami, Chaturdasi, and Full Moon day-and during the nine days of Navaratri.
The Gayatri Mantra does not belong to any particular sect of worship or it is not restricted to any certain community. It is universal, for the whole world. It contains in it the culture not of any particular society, but the culture of humanity. The Gayatri Mantra is a treasure and heritage that belongs to the whole of humanity without exclusion.

Prayer to Devi Maa

Devi Maa Ji Ki Prathana


Devi Maa Veshno Do Bardan Humain Teri Neet Neete Jyoti Jalayaye Hum
Hirdayai Mein Vasa Kar Pyar Tera Yeh Zeevan Safal Banaye Hum
Zeevan Mein Kabhi Na Paap Karein Har Waqat Zaap Tumhara Karein Hum
Iteni Kirpa Bas Aap Karein Kabhi Maa Aap Ko Bhool Na Paye Hum
Sir Per Maa Daya Ka Haath Rakho Mushkil Raste Assaan Karoo
Humain Shakti Iteni Daina Dukh Mein Na Kabhi Ghabraye Hum
Na Yah Maan Rahai Na Aapmaan Rahai Uneech Neech Ka Gyan Rahai
Har Waqt Bas Maa Veshno Ka Dhyan Rahai Teri He Bhaketi Mein Kho Jayai Hum
Dil Mein Na Kabhi Aahankar Rahai Har Prani Ka Satkaar Karai Hum
Har Deen Dhukhiyon Se Pyar Karai Dushman Ko Bhi Apnaye Hum
Na Ichaa Yah Sansar Millai Na Dhan Daluat Ka Ambar Mile
Bas Tere Charno Ka Bas Pyar Mile
Hirdai Mein Na Rahai Bair Koi Nazero Mein Rahai Na Gair Koi
Appenai Yeibo Per Rakhai Nazer Gairon Kai Yeib Chupaye Hum
Risky Tamanna Hai Appenai Zab Waqat Akheri Aa Jaye
Sir Rakh Aap Kai Charnon Mein Hastai Hastai Mar Jaye Hum
Aaj Risky Likh Devi Maa Ki Prathana Maa Ki Sheesh Mein Sir Jhukaye Hum
Devi Maa Veshno Do Bardan Humain Teri Neet Neete Jyoti Jalaye Hum…….
 
 

Katha Tara Rani ki


!! Tara Rani Katha !!


Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki Ye Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki

Maa Bhakton Ko Tara Rani Ki, Shubh Katha Sunayein
Bhed Bhav Ko Jo Hai Mitaati, Man Ke Beech Bithayein
Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki Ye Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki

Huve Hain Ik Punjab Prant Mein, Raja Vaibhavshali
Sparsh Naam Tha Ush Daani Ka, Jholi Jish Ki Khaali
Kyun Mere Santaan Nahin Hai, Dukhi Hi Man Mein Rehta
Too Hi Door Karegi Chinta, Maa Se Hi Sab Kehta
Navratron Mein Jyot Jagakar, Nishchaye Apna Kar Ke
Moorti Maa Ki Dekh Raha Tha, Prem Mein Aansu Bhar Ke
Pushpon Ki Mala Se Thode, Phool Tabhi The Gir Gaye
Raja Ne Netro Se Lagaaya, Jeevan Ke Din Phir Gaye
Ek Varash Ke Baad Mein Aayi, Sharad Ki Pooranmasi
Taron Bhari Raat Mein Ghat Gayi, Ghar Ki Sabhi Udaasi
Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki Ye Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki

Ek Kanya Aayi Mahalon Mein, Khush The Raja Rani
Brahmano Ne Thaa Naam Rakhaya, Ushka Tara Rani
Ek Saal Beeta Jaise Hi, Kanya Aur Ik Jaai
Rukaman Naam Rakha Tha Ushka, Raja Paai Badhaai
Raja Ne Kundli Banwaai, Brahman Bhi Ghabraaye
Ruka Ka Man Sab Dasha Dekh Kar, Raja Soch Doudaye
Bhrigu Saghinta Khulwai Tab, Brahman Ne Batlaaya
Rakho Na Ghar Mein Ish Kanya Ko, Bura Samaye Hai Aaya
Abhi Baha Do Jal Mein Ish Ko, Varna Pachhtaooge
Bheelon Ke Ghar Vaasa Ishka, Kaise Phir Vyahooge
Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki Ye Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki

Shrap Milein Hain Do Janmo Se, Poori Katha Baatyein
Baat Hamari Poori Sunkar, Nadiya Beech Bahayein
Ek Baar Ye Dono Janmi, Inder Ke Ghar Aayi
Bani Apsara Nache Jhoome, Sab Ke Man Ko Bhai
Naach Naach Ke Haari Ik Din, Man Mein Soch Doudai
Ghoom Ke Aayein Mritulok Mein, Sudh-Budh Sab Bisraayi
Dha-Dha-Tit-Kit-Run-Jhun-Run-Jhun, Naach Kood Sab Chhoda
Oopar Se Neeche Ko Aayi, Swarg Se Nata Toda
Ek Doosre Se Ye Boli, Din Hai Mangalkari
Ekadashi Ka Vrat Dharte Hain, Jag Mein Sab Nar Naari
Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki Ye Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki

Hum Dono To Subah Se Bhooki, Sachcha Vrat Kar Dala
Ho Gayi Hai Dopahar Bahan, Ab Mite Bhook Ki Jwaala
Jaao Kahin Se Phal Le Aao, Katha Sunege Mil Ke
Phalahaar Mil Ke Kar Lenge, Tab Tak Bin Jal Jal Ke
Rukaman Phal Lene Ko Nikli, Bhatke Jungle Jungle
Pata Nahin Neecho Ke Ghar Mein, Likha Hua Tha Ann Jal
Ek Ped Ke Neeche, Aadiwasi Harijan Dekhe
Mangu Inshe Kucch Khane Ko, Baar Baar Wo Soche
Paas Mein Baithi Ek Harijan, Ki Maa Bhoodi Boli
Patte Par Ishe Maas Thama Do, Bhooki Hai Ye Bholi
Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki Ye Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki

Bhook To Ushko Sata Rahi Thi, Rukaman Ne Maas Khaya
Kya Kar Baithi Hoon Galti Main, Dhyaan Ushe Ne Aaya
Tod Ped Se Kele Laayi, Tara Ke Paas Rukaman
Der Ho Gayi Kyun Rukaman Ko, Shanka Mein Dhooba Man
Boli Rukaman Vrat Ko Todo, Ekadashi Manaao
Aaye Hain Jab Mritulok Mein, Poora Niyam Nibhao
Bhook Ke Dar Se Maas Kha Liya, Jaldi Hi Vrat Toda
Boli Tara Bhag Yahan Se, Kar Le Abhi Vichhoda
Shrap Diya Tara Ne Ushko, Bano Chhipkali Jaa Kar
Keede Aur Makode Khaao, Rahogi Jeevit Vish Par
Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki Ye Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki

Bichhud Gayi Wo Swarg Log Ki, Aakar Yun Dharti Par
Aage Ki Kuch Katha Sunayein, Sunlo Man Pakka Kar
Bani Chhipkali Rukaman Dekho, Rahti Khaprailon Par
Mila Thikana Ush Daasi Ko, Gorakh Ke Teelon Par
Gorakh Nath Guru Ka Ashram, Jahan Tantarik Rehtein
Pooja Aur Pujapa Khaate, Kisi Se Kuchh Na Kehtein
Keertiman Naam Ka Sadhu, Nayi Siddhiyaan Bharta
Krodhi Tha Wo Aisa Kapti, Har Koi Thaa Darta
Jal Ka Ek Kamandal Bhar Ke, Baitha Tha Masti Se
Apni Siddhi Paaoon Akela, Door Rahe Basti Se
Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki Ye Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki

Pyaasi Aa Gayi Ek Gaaye Wahan, Dekh Ushe Ne Paaya
Jal Ka Bhara Kamadal Ludka, Ushne Dhyaan Hataya
Lekar Chimta Bhaga Peechhe, Gaaye Ko Jake Peeta
Ghayal Ho Kar Tadap Gayi Wo, Pada Khoon Ka Chhinta
Gorakh Nath Guru Ne Dantta, Gaaye Ko Kyun Hai Mara
Hindu Hokar Dhyaan Nahin Hai, Kya Hai Dharam Hamara
Bhag Nikal Ashram Se Paapi, Phir Mookh Na Dikhlaana
Gaaye Hamari Dharam Ki Mata, Bhed Ne Toone Jaana
Vair Bhavnaa Man Mein Rakh Ke, Chala Gaya Ashram Se
Rehne Laga Akela Aakar, Krodh Na Nikla Man Se
Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki Ye Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki

Laga Wo Karne Ulti Siddhi, Guru Se Badla Paaoon
Bade Yagye Mein Vighnn Main Daalu, Sab Ko Khoob Rulaoon
Udhar Guru Gorakh Man Hi Man, Dekh Gaaye Pachhtaate

Gorakhnathji Sun Ke Doude, Kiya Krodh Wahan Bhaari
Ari Dushtini Kahan Se Aayi, Ban Ke Too Mahamari
Neech Karm Kyon Kiya Hai Toone, Neeche Kul Jaayegi
Aisa Shraap Diya Hai Tumko, Ab Na Bach Paayegi
Gadde Mein Sab Kheer Phenk Do, Koi Ihse Na Khaaye
Daalo Mitti Ish Ke Oopar, Vish Sara Dab Jaye
Utha Ke Bartan Bhari Kheer Ka, Jaise Hi Ludkaaya
Mara Hua Ik Sarp Bhayaanak, Jhak Se Gir Ke Aaya
Dekh Guruwar Ab Ghabraaye, Man Ki Soch Doudaai
Dhyaan Mein Unke Saari Ghatna, Sapna Ban Ke Aayi
Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki Ye Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki

Dhanya Chhipkali Jisne Sab Ko, Marne Se Hai Bachaaya
Dharm Ki Raksha Ko Karne Mein, Apna Roop Jalaaya
Jeevan Sudhre Agle Janam Ka, Naari Ban Jaaogi
Jaise Tumne Bhala Kiya Hai, Achcha Phal Paaogi
Katha Janam Ki Phichhle Sun Ke, Raja Dukh Mein Roya
Itni Pyaari Beti Pakar, Maine Sab Kucch Khoya
Bole Brahman Karo Vidaai, Gorakh Shraap Diya Thaa
Pehli Baar Mein Punya Lut Gaya, Jo Ke Jaap Kiya Thaa
Ushi Shraap Ke Karan Kanya, Neeche Kul Jaayegi
Nadiya Mein Ab Ihse Baha Do, Yahan Ne Reh Paayegi
Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki Ye Katha Hai Tara Rani Ki

Raksha Lehron Se Ki Maa Ne, Tha Sandook Wo Jal Mein
Subah Huyi Ek Pandit Dekha, Lalach Aaya Man Mein
Bula Harijan Ko Pandit Ne, Kaha Bhanwar Mein Jaao
Pehla Hissa Dena Mujhko, Doosre Ko Tum Paao

Dono Ne Hisson Ko Banta, Leela Prabhu Dikhai
Heere Moti Brahman Leene, Bheel Ne Kanya Paai
Bade Chaav Se God Mein Bhar Kar, Sounpa Gharwaali Ko
Doodh Pilaya Mata Bankar, Dukh Karmo Waali Ko
Maat Pita Ke Pyaar Ko Pakar, Tarun Awastha Aayi
Harijano Ne Ek Yuvak Se, Kar Di Prem Sagaai
Udhar Sparsh Raja Ne Tara, Ka Bhi Vyaah Rachaaya
