Chandi Paatt /Saptashati- Meditative chant for Navaratri; lyrics in English & Devnagiri, meaning too
1. Why do we need to ask for forgiveness of mistakes or sins every night?
2. What is the role of introspection?
3. Why are we approaching Lord Shiva for forgiveness?
This episode introduces the concept of a night-time prayer which is about praying to Lord Shiva, asking for forgiveness.
This stotram was composed by the great JagadGuru Shree Adi Shankaracharya, the saint who revived sanatana dharma (the ancient hindu thought and way of life) during one of the times it was in danger of being lost.
This sanskrit night time prayer, is a very important exercise for every individual. Each word of this shloka is important, and when it is understood in essence, the effectiveness of the prayer is achieved.
Understanding the meaning of prayers, help us in reaping benefits. While prayers may work even if we do not know their meaning, the learned ones say that they are much more effective when chanted with understanding and commitment. Join me as I unravel for you, the meaning of this beautiful stotram, which when chanted daily will transform you in myriad ways.
This is a famous Stotram popularly recited during the Navaratri festival which falls in the months of Oct-Nov. Easy to chant along, you can learn this beautiful chant using the lyrics provided. Even those who chant this regularly may not understand the meaning, therefore I have shared th emeaning in the video in English.
The Chandi Paat or Devi Suktham is the Stotram seen in the 5th chapter of the Devi mahatmeeyam, found in Markandeya Puranam. In the preceding (4th) chapter, the Devī, having slain the demon Mahiṣāsura (महिषासुर), assures the gods that she would help them if they came to distress in the future too.
After some time, two asura (demon) brothers, Śuṃbha and Niśuṃbha terrorise the three worlds, usurp the offices and powers Sūrya, Caṃdra, Kubera, Yama, Varuṇa, Agni, Vāyu and other gods, and establish themselves in their steads. These gods, having been defeated and having lost their power, authority and honour, recall the assurance given by the Devī of alleviating them from their troubles. They decide to pray for her help and arrive at the Himalayas. Having assembled there, they begin praising Her, who is also known as Aparājitā (अपराजिता) and Viṣṇumāyā (विष्णुमाया).
