Dhyanam

Santham padmasanastham sasi dara makutam pancha vakthram trinethram,

Soolam vajram cha gadgam parasumabhayadham dakshabhage vahantham,

Nagam pasam gantam pralayahuthavaham sangusam vaama bhage,

Nanalankara yuktham sphatikamani niham parvatheesam namaami.

I salute the lord of Parvathy,
Who is ever peaceful,
Who sits in the lotus pose,
Who wears the crescent on his crown,
Who has five faces,
Who has three eyes,
Who carries on his right side,
Trident, vajra, sword, axe and sign of refuge,
Who carries on his left side,
Snake, rope, bell, eternal fire and goad,
Who has been decorated in various ways,
And who is like bead of crystal.

Lam pruthvyathmane Gandham samarpayami

Ham Aakasthmane Puspai poojayami

Yam vaayvathmane dhoopamagrapayami

Ram agneyathmane deepam darsayami

Vam amruthathmane amrutham mahe naivedhyam nivedhyamai
