Narmada Nadi Devi is the gentle and fearless love of the ever-flowing Grace of the Mother. she rides with STYLE on a crocodile!
Devi whose name is Narmada, your every step are lotuses.
TVADIYA PADA PANKAJAM NAMAMI DEVI NARMADE
this mantra is over 45 minutes long and had to be processed in 6 parts on youtube -
http://www.youtube.com/user/1008devi?feature=mhum
if you wish to chant along we suggest you open a second window and follow the words here as you click on each of the 6 parts to listen and see Narmada Devi riding on her crocodile.
NARMADE HAR !
before we begin we would like to offer you a moment of Narmada Darshan. just to gaze at her beauty cleanses all karmas of the seeker. this and the other videos of Narmada River on this blog can be seen on my youtube channel 1008devi. at her lotus feet, the films were made just outside our ashram door on the ghats of Maheshwar. Narmade Har!
from a book titled NARMADA PRADAKSHINA we purchased in OMKareshwar while we were living in Maheshwar, MP a couple years ago. Its entirely in Devanagari. we are primarily English speakers with a little Sanskrit study but alot of bhakti in our yajnyas and kirtan practice. we hoped to make Parikram one day. Narmada River is more than our former home She is portal to our hearts.
ATHA SHRI NARMADA SAHASTHRANAM PRARAMBHAH
And now the 1008 names of Holy Narmada Devi begins
SHRI PARVATI UVACA:
OM JAGADISHA JAGADDHAMA
DIGVASO MADANANTAKA
REVA NAM SAHASTRANTU
KATHAYASVA MAHA PRABHU •1•
Holy Goddess Parvati said:
Oh Creator of the Universe, Father of Creation, call out with your loud conch, and leaving out nothing to quench my desire that I may know the 1008 keys of Reva’s names. Tell this great story to illuminate me.
Beloved Sadhvi, Great Sadhu, Narmada creates well-being for this planet of grand illusion, she bestows the fulfillment of all wishes.
HARINI SARVAMAYANAM
SAMSARARNAVA TARINI
DHARINI SARVAVIDYA NAM
AVIDYABHEDA KARINI •3•
Her name removes all illusions and enables us to cross over the sea of samsaras and be saved! By observing, remembering or visibly showing the knowledge of all her names creates the rupturing of all ignorance! (It will blow your mind!)
SHRI PARVATI UVACA:
KA TITHIH KASTU VARSHCHA
KIM STHALAM PATHNE SHUBHAM
YASYA VIJNANA MATRENA
SARVA RABHAVENNARAH •4•
TANME KATHYA DEVESHA
SARVALOKOPAKARAM
Holy Goddess Parvati said:
which holy shrines test favorably as a place to recite these beautiful auspicious scriptures? May even the common ones know of her yogic powers that they could only imagine before?
Please, enlighten me with this story, o chief god of all the realms of the worlds.
SHRI SHIVA UVACA:
NA YOGAM KARANAM VARAM
NAKSHATRAM NAPI SAMKRAMAM •5•
No yogic state is needed to say the names. Not even the stars are obstruction to those who come with sincerity. Those of even unfortunate or common estate who recite the names will receive instant powers beyond their imaginations. Narmada is the true Mother, an excedingly protective supreme mother to all.
OM ASYA SHRI NAMA REVAYAH
SAHASTRAM PARIKIRTITAM
RISHI RUDRE VIRADESHA
CAMUNDE NIGADITO MAYA •7•
OM - call and respond in singing these 1008 holy names of this river goddess with the sage shiva and virtuous mother goddess – cutting off all illusory stimulus.
In all 4 walks, stages or objectives of life, ( the 4 Purusharthas are Dharma : Righteousness, Duty / Artha : Wealth / Kama : Desire / Moksha : Liberation) employ and engage with the head and face of shiva, the heart of the moon goddess and remembering all the gods.
OM NARMADAYE VIDMAHE
MEKALAKANYAYE DHIMAHI
TANNO REVA PRACCHODAYAT
OM HRIM SHRI NARMADAYE – SVAHA!
OM Narmada, all-knowing great mother, you are the river daughter who flows from the father god on the mountain, we meditate on you, Reva, so it may happen that you may inspire us. OM sattvic, holy Narmada I offer all to you
.
ITI GAYATRI MANTRAM
YATHA SHAKTI JAPITVA
SAHASTRANAM PATHAM
KORYAT TADHYATHA
This is the perfect hymn sung to narmada. Repeat it as mantra in order to invoke Her powerful energy whenever you recite the 1008 names beginning now.
(transliterations are not claiming perfection. translating is in progress. anyone finding us here please feel free to lend any Sanskrit or Narmada knowledge to this site, its a labor of love, the devotional seva of 2 bhakti sadhus)
every morning my sadhana includes reciting this SHRI HAIDAKHANDISVARI SAPTA SATI channeled by Visnu Datta Mishra (Shastriji) and published by the Haidakhand Samaj. it takes about 45 minutes on this one.
i offer this recitation by Shastriji in all its perfection and with an image of Devi herself.
Shri Haidiyakhandishvari Mata Ki Jai!
(having problems uploading the vids - sorting out technical help then try again later)
its our wish that others will share our enthusiasm for this inspired scripture and get the book from http://www.haidakhandisamaj.org/ that you may devote yourself to Devi's glory in this lovely way. i may get around to putting the text up here one day though its a fat book so dont just wait for me, its already online - http://www.babaji.net/prayers-pdf.htm download sanskrit AND english translation or get the bound book which does it word for word and paragraph by paragraph - listen to the video and chant along. dont forget to leave comments!
