Daiva dasakam-English


Daiva dasakam
O God, as ever from there keep watch on us here,
Never letting to Your hand!
You are the Greatest Captain of the mighty steamship
On the ocean of change and becoming is Your foot


Counting all here, one by one,
When all things touched are done with,
Then the seeing eye(alone) remains.
So let the inner self in You attain its rest


Food, clothes, and all else we need
You give us unceasingly.
Ever saving us, seeing us well provided.
Such a one, You, are for us our only Chief.


As ocean, wave, wind and depth
Let us within see the scheme
Of us, nescience,
You glory and You.


You are the creation, the Creator,
And the magical variety of created things,
Are You not, O God,
Even the substance of creation too.


You are Maya,
The Agent thereof and its Enjoyer too;
You are that Good one also who removes Maya too
To grant Unitive state!


You are the Existent, the Subsistent and the Supreme
You are the Present and the Past,
And the Future is none else but you.
Even the spoken work, when we consider it, is but You alone.


Your state of glory that fills
Both inside and outside
We for ever praise!
Victory be, O God, to you!


Victory to you! Great and Radiant One!
Ever intent upon saving the needy!
Victory to You, perceptual abode of happiness,
Ocean of Mercy, Victory to You!


In the ocean of your gloryOf great profundity,
Let us all, together, become immersed
To dwell therein everlastingly Happiness!

    Ten Pearls on God
    (NARAYANAGURU: - ‘DAIVADASAKAM’)
    Translation: Dr.K.G.Balakrishnan
    1.
    O, God! Protect us;
    Never leave us;
    You are the Captain
    Of the ocean of
    Unending strife; The
    great steam boat
    Your Solemn Feet!
    2.
    One, more an’ more…
    I touch, compute, tally…
    At the end,
    Like eyes motionless
    Let the mind be non-dual in You!
    3.
    Uninterrupted You shower
    Grain, apparel an’ all for us
    You are the only Master for us.
    4.
    The sea, waves an’ wind,
    The depth-all those are we,
    You, the Delusion, You, the Nobility,
    Always is our core.
    5.
    You, the Creator,
    You, the Creation,
    You, the Created, O, Lord!
    You are The Instrument
    For The Great Act!
    6.
    You are The Jugglery,
    You are The Juggler,
    You are The Nobility
    Which resolves Illusion,
    Pours an’ pours-
    The Ultimate Salvation!
    7.
    You are The Truth,
    The Knowledge, the Ecstasy.
    You, the Present,
    The Past, the Future.
    And no one else
    The Word
    8.
    The noble feet of Yours
    Fill the in an’ the out.
    We praise an’ praise You,
    O God!
    You be The Great Winner,
    And always be.
    9.
    Be victorious The Great Lord!
    Saviour of the poor,
    Master of the ultimate happiness,
    Ocean of Mercy!
    10.
    In the glory of
    The deep deep sea of
    The Nobility of yours,
    We all would immerse.
    Extreme happiness be prevailed,
    Be prevailed
    Every quantum of moment!
    Note- This Poem was chanted by Guru as a gift to the humanity. In this Guru depicts God
    as the Ultimate that is every where, in-out. He is the creator, the created and the creation.
    “Their creation does not require the intervention of supernatural being or god.Rather, these
    multiple universes arise naturally from physical law.”

      Oh! God!, please take care of us
      Always, as a captain of the ship,
      Called “ Gita” of yours , in the sea,
      The universe, which is manifested by you.

      Our mind should not divert, from you,
      The sight, what we can see, after
      If we remove everything from this world,
      By counting one by one.

      You only God! The one,
      Who make us satisfied,
      By giving food, cloth etc.
      To fulfill all our needs.

      How is an ocean, along with wind, wave
      And depth, Let me understand,
      Like that, You are along with us, illusion
      And your greatness.

      You only creation, creator,
      And creature
      You only God!,
      The material for creation.

      You only illusion, magician
      And who is enjoying the illusion
      You only the king, who remove
      Illusion and give feeling of joy.

      You are truth, knowledge and joy,
      You only the present, past and future
      There is nothing different from you,
      If we remember your words.

      Our inside and outside are
      Filled with the great knowledge,
      Which is given by you.
      We praise you, God! …Win!

      Win…. “Mahadeva!”
      Who cure our all diseases
      Win…. .”Chidhaanandha!”
      Who is river of mercy!…win!

      As we are in the deepest ocean
      Of your eternal knowledge, God!
      Let us stay submerged always!
      Let us live, entire life good!
