Bhagavad Gita Dhyana Slokas
ॐ पार्थाय प्रतिबोधितां भगवता नारायणेन स्वयं
व्यासेन ग्रथितां पुराणमुनिना मध्ये महाभारतम् ।
अद्वैतामृतवर्षिणीं भगवतीम्- अष्टादशाध्यायिनीम्
अम्ब त्वामनुसन्दधामि भगवद्- गीते भवद्वेषिणीम् ॥ १॥
Bhagavad Gita taught to Arjuna, by Lord Narayana himself,
written in the middle of the Mahabharata by the Old Sage Vyasa
O Divine mother, she who showers Elixir of Advaita on us, O mother of 18 chapters,
I meditate on thee, O Bhagavad gita, the destroyer of all illusion of manifestation (Samsaara)
नमोऽस्तु ते व्यास विशालबुद्धे फुल्लारविन्दायतपत्रनेत्र ।
येन त्वया भारततैलपूर्णः प्रज्वालितो ज्ञानमयः प्रदीपः ॥ २॥
Salutations O Vyasa (the author), one with the great intellect, with eyes like the fully blossomed lotus, through whom, the lamp of light is filled with oil of knowledge.
प्रपन्नपारिजाताय तोत्रवेत्रैकपाणये ।
ज्ञानमुद्राय कृष्णाय गीतामृतदुहे नमः ॥ ३॥
Salutations to Krishna, the bestower of all desires of the desirees.
The holder of JnanaMudra, the milker of the Elixir of Bhagavad Gita.
सर्वोपनिषदो गावो दोग्धा गोपाल नन्दनः ।
पार्थो वत्सः सुधीर्भोक्ता दुग्धं गीतामृतं महत् ॥ ४॥
All the Upanishads are cows; the Milker is Krishna, the cowherd boy;
Arjuna is the calf; Wise and pure men drink the milk, the supreme, immortal nectar of the Gita
वसुदेवसुतं देवं कंसचाणूरमर्दनम् ।
देवकीपरमानन्दं कृष्णं वन्दे जगद्गुरुम् ॥ ५॥
O son of Vasudeva, O Lord who destroyed Kamsa and Chanuura
O Joy of mother Devaki, Salutations O Krishna, the teacher of the world
मूकं करोति वाचालं पङ्गुं लङ्घयते गिरिम् ।
यत्कृपा तमहं वन्दे परमानन्दमाधवम् ॥ ८॥
I bow down to Sri Krishna, the source of all joy, whose compassion brings speech from the lips of the dumb and carries the lame over mountains
