    .....SRI RUDRAM.....

    Sri Rudram, also known as Rudraprasna, is a hymn devoted to lord Shiva. Sri Rudram comprises of two parts. The first part known as Namakam (because of the repeated use of word “Namo” in it) and is found in the Krishna Yajurveda, Taittariya Samhita in the fourth chapter.

    The second part known as
    Chamakam (because of repeated use of word “Chame”) is found in the seventh chapter.


    Like all Vedic texts it is pleasing to the ear but confounding to the intellect. The melody and rhythm are unique and comfortable from the first listening . These Vedic verses are the cognition of an ancient Rishi.

    All of creation is a manifestation of three forces;
    creation, preservation, and destruction. The creation force is Brahma, preservation is Vishnu, and destruction is Rudra. So Sri Rudram is both recognition and praise for the vital place Rudra holds in creation.

    Meaning ----

    Oh! Rudra Deva! My salutations to your anger and also to your arrows. My salutations to your bow and to your two hands.

    Oh! Rudra! By favour of your arrow, bow, and quiver, which have shed their anger and turned auspicious, please render us happy.

    Lord Rudra, who confer happiness, by that form of yours which is not terrible, which will not injure us, and which is highly auspicious, behold and illuminate us.

    My Lord who dwells on Mount Kailash and confers gladness to all! You, who fulfills your vow of protecting all who serve you and take refuge in you; that arrow of yours which you hold ready to let fly, withhold it and make it tranquil and auspicious.

    Lord of Mount Kailash of the Vedas! We pray to attain you by our auspicious words. We ask that for all our days, this entire world will be free from ills and discord, and that we may live in amity and concord.

    Let Him intercede on my behalf and speak in my favour, even Rudra, that foremost one, held high in honour by the gods, the physician. Let him annihilate the enemies of mine like scorpions, snakes, and tigers, and the unseen enemies like the Rakshasas, spirits and demons.

    This Sun who is copper-red when he arises, then golden-yellow, this highly auspicious and beneficent one is truly Rudra. These other Rudras who are quartered round about in all directions of this earth, may I ward off their anger by my praise.

    The black-throated Rudra who has assumed the form of the sun that glows red when rising. Him the cowherds, the women carrying water, and all the creatures behold. He, who is seen by all, let Him send happiness to us.

    Let my salutations be to the blue-throated one, who has a thousand eyes. I also bow to his followers.

    Bhagavan Rudra, loosen the string from both ends of your bow. Remove out of sight the arrows from your hands.

    You having a thousand eyes, and bearing a hundred quivers, after loosening your bow, kindly blunt the edges of your shafts. Assume your peaceful and auspicious Siva form and become well-intentioned towards us.

    Let the bow of Kapardin, Rudra of the matted locks, be without its string. Let there be no arrows in His quiver. Let His arrows lose their capacity to strike and pierce. Let His scabbard contain little power.

    You, Oh showerer of blessings, with your weapons and the bow in Your hand, completely protect us.

    Let there be salutations to your sturdy and
    potent weapons, and also to both your hands and your bow.

    Let the arrow of your bow spare us in all ways. And place your quiver of arrows far away from us.

    Let my salutations be to that great God who is the Lord of the universe; the great God who has three eyes and who destroys Tripura, the three Asura cities.

    To that God who is the Dandhya time when the three sacred fires are lit; who is Rudra the fire that consumes the universe; whose throat is blue; who has conquered death; the Lord of all; the ever auspicious one; salutations to that glorious and great God.

    Rudram is divided into 11 sections called Anuvakas.

    Maha Rudra Yagya.....


    The yajna is a process that blends the repeated repetition of the Sri Rudram and Chamakam with various procedures to both calm and empower the force of Rudra in our lives.

    BENEFITS OF CHANTING THE THIRD ANUVAKA......

    In the third Anuvaka, Rudra is described as the Lord of thieves who exists in everything. He is Sarvatma; the self of all. In this context, we who are unenlightened have stolen the immortal status of the Self and replaced it with our own limited conception of ego. And in turn it is Rudra who will come and steal our ignorance from us, restoring us to our natural status of enlightenment. This Anuvaka is also chanted for the cure of diseases.
