DURITAPAHARA (PaPaVimochana) STOTHRAM - An insight...

Ø We are wasting our time;

Ø Doing gunotkarsha of unworthy people;

Ø Doing punyakarya not even equivalent to a sesame seed;

Ø Not effectively utilizing Gyanendriya/Karmendriya for the service of God;

Ø Mind to be kept under control;

Ø Due to our sinful acts even little Punya is getting destroyed;

Ø Assuming that we live as a permanent entity we are behaving like a Pashu/Chandala;

Ø Never attempting for a righteous living;

Ø We are born in Bharata Desa (Punya Bhoomi); Manushya Janma that too as a Vaishnava; a very rare opportunity and a boon granted upon us by ParamaAtma;

Ø Effectively we have only 10 years time in our life for SaAdhana;

Ø Always having evil mind – no difference between us and Pashu/chandala;

Ø Attachment to samsara defusing our interest to contemplate on the lotus feet of ParamaAtma;

Ø We are a storehouse of evil deeds – We have all the wickedness;

Ø Heap of our sins is countless;

Ø Obsessed with joy and comfort we are becoming Karma Bhrashta;

Ø Our obeisance to God is only a show;

Ø Never served/made Gunotkarsha of God/Guru with all sincerity and devotion;

Ø Only way out is total surrender to the most compassionate and benevolent God Sri Hari for mercy;

Ø Only and only His grace can protect us from the mountain of our sins;

Ø Focus mind on imperishable supreme God ACHYUTA who can effortlessly make us sail through the ocean of Samsara;

Durithaapahara Stothram also known as Paapa Vimochana Stothram composed by Saint Sri Vijayeendra Theertharu is focused at common man, an eye opener for those who are ignoring/deviating from the subtle elements of saAdhana maarga; 

ಭಕ್ತಾನಾಂ ಮಾನಸಾಂಭೋಜಭಾನವೇ ಕಾಮಧೇನವೇ |

ನಮತಾಂ ಕಲ್ಪತರವೇ ಜಯಯೀಂದ್ರಗುರವೇ ನಮಃ ||

భక్తానాం మానసాంభోజభానవే కామధేనవే |
నమతాం కల్పతరవే జయయీంద్రగురవే నమః ||

भक्तानां मानसांबोजभानवे कामधेनवे ।
नमतां कल्पतरवे जयीन्द्रगुरवे नमः ॥

Bhakthaanaam Maanasambhoja Bhaanave Kaamadhenave!
Namathaam Kalpatharave Vijayeendra Gurave Namaha!!
