Sri Nrsimha Pranama

namas te narasimhaya
prahladahlada-dayine
hiranyakasipor vaksah-
sila-tanka-nakhalaye 

"I offer my obeisances to Lord Narasimha, who gives joy to Prahlada Maharaja and whose nails are like chisels on the stonelike chest of the demon Hiranyakasipu."

ito nrsimhah parato nrsimho
yato yato yami tato nrsimhah
bahir nrsimho hrdaye nrsimho
nrsimham adim saranam prapadye 

"Lord Nrsimha is here and also there. Wherever I go Lord Nrsimha is there. He is in the heart and is outside as well. I surrender to Lord Nrsimha, the origin of all things and the supreme refuge."

Prayer to Lord Nrsimha
(from Sri Dasavatara-stotra) 

tava kara-kamala-vare nakham adbhuta-srngam
dalita-hiranyakasipu-tanu-bhrngam
kesava dhrta-narahari-rupa jaya jagadisa hare

"O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed the form of half-man, half-lion! All glories to You! Just as one can easily crush a wasp between one's fingernails, so in the same way the body of the wasp like demon Hiranyakasipu has been ripped apart by the wonderful pointed nails on Your beautiful lotus hands."

ANADI KARAMA PHALE:
By Bhaktivinoda Thakura:

(1)

anādi’ karama-phale,  poḍi’ bhavārnava-jale,

toribāre nā dekhi upāy

e-viṣaya-halāhale,  divā-niśi hiyā jwale,

mana kabhu sukha nāhi pāy

(2)

āśā-pāśa-śata-śata,  kleśa deya avirata,

pravṛtti-ūrmira tāhe khelā

kāma-krodha-ādi choy,  bāṭapāḍe deya bhoy,

avasāna hoilo āsi’ belā

(3)

jñāna-karma—ṭhaga dui,  more pratārīya loi,

avaśeṣe phele sindhu-jale

e heno samaye, bandhu,  tumi kṛṣṇa kṛpā-sindhu,

kṛpā kori’ tolo more bale

(4)

patita-kińkore dhori’,  pāda-padma-dhuli kori’,

deho bhaktivinode āśroy

āmi tava nitya-dās,  bhuliyā māyāra pāś,

baddha ho’ye āchi doyāmoy

TRANSLATION:

1) I have fallen into the ocean of material existence as a result of my selfish activities, which are without beginning, and I see no means of deliverance from this great ocean of nescience. Day and night my heart burns from the poison of these worldly activities, and on account of this my mind never finds any satisfaction or happiness.

2) Hundreds and thousands of desires, like nooses around my neck, constantly give me misery and trouble. In that great ocean of nescience play the waves of materialistic tendency. In this world there are many thieves and rogues, of whom six are prominent; lust, anger, greed, illusion, and madness. They are causing me great fear, and in this way my life is coming to an end.

3) The two highway robbers, mental speculation and fruitive activity, have cheated me and misled me, and finally they are throwing me into the ocean of misery. At such a time as this, my dear Krsna, You are the only friend, and You are the ocean of mercy and compassion. I have no strength to get out of this ocean of nescience, so I pray to Your lotus feet that You will be kind and by Your strength uplift me from this ocean of suffering.

4) Accept this fallen servant and fix me as a particle of dust on Your lotus feet. Kindly give me shelter to this Bhaktivinoda. O most merciful Lord, actually I am Your eternal servant, but having forgotten this I have become bound up in the network of maya.

Srila Prabhupada's Purport on Anadi Karama Phale:

Srila Prabhupada delivers His purport on the Bengali bhajan "Gaurangera Bolite Habe" composed by Vaisnava saint Narottama Dasa Thakura.
The lyrics and English translation follow....

GAURANGERA BOLITE HABE:
By Narottama Dasa Thakura:

(1)
'gaurāńga' bolite habe pulaka-śarīra
'hari hari' bolite nayane ba' be nīra

(2)
āra kabe nitāi-cānder koruṇā hoibe
saḿsāra-bāsanā mora kabe tuccha ha'be

(3)
viṣaya chāriyā kabe śuddha ha 'be mana
kabe hāma herabo śrī-bṛndābana

(4)
rūpa-raghunātha-pade hoibe ākuti
kabe hāma bujhabo se jugala-pīriti

(5)
rūpa-raghunātha-pade rahu mora āśa
prārthanā koroye sadā narottama-dāsa

TRANSLATION:

1) When will that opportune moment come to us, when there will be shivering of the body as soon as we chant Lord Gauranga's name?  While chanting Hare Krsna, when will there be tears in the eyes? 

2) When will I obtain the mercy of Lord Nityananda-candra?  When, by His mercy will the desire for material enjoyment become very insignificant? 

3) When the mind is completely purified, being freed from material anxieties and desires, then I shall be able to understand Vrndavana and the conjugal love of Radha and Krsna, and then my spiritual life will be successful. 

4) When shall I be very much eager to study the books left by the Six Gosvami's, headed by Srila Rupa Gosvami and Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami?  By their instruction I shall be able to properly understand the loving affairs of Radha and Krsna. 

5) My only aspiration is to attain the lotus feet of the Six Gosvamis headed by Srila Rupa Gosvami and Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami.  Narottama dasa constantly prays to attain their lotus feet.

Three Eyes of Shiva 

Another fresh and inspiring version of the ancient Mantra Om Tryambakam - Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra - Rudra Mantra in an East West fusion style - featuring all acoustic instruments . 
Nylon string guitar -  Stevin McNamara.
Glorious vocals by the renowned Indian classical vocalist, Mala Ganguly - 

Drums and percussion by Christo Pellani. 

Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra, also known as Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Mantra . It is also called Rudra mantra, referring to the furious aspect of Lord Shiva (Mahadeva), and Tryambakam mantra, alluding to Lord Shiva’s three eyes. The 3rd eye (the faculty of insight and intuition) is said to be located in the space between the eyebrows and is “opened” when one experiences the spiritual awakening.

Followers of Lord Shiva consider that this powerful mantra evokes the Shiva within human beings and removes the fear of death, liberating one from Samsara – the cycle of death and rebirth, hence the name “Great Death-conquering Mantra”.
Along with Gayatri mantra, it holds the highest place among the many Sanskrit mantras used for meditation, contemplation, and healing. Whereas Gayatri Mantra is meant for spiritual guidance and purification, Rudra mantra is used for rejuvenation, healing, and nurturance. Mahamrityunjay mantra is also considered a strong remedy to propitiate Lord Shani (The Sun God).

Lyrics in Sanskrit:

”Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushthivardhanam; Urvaarukamiva Bandhanaan Mrityormuksheeya Maamritaat.
Translation in English:
”We worship the three-eyed one who is fragrant, and who sustains all living beings. May he liberate us from (Samsara) death. May he (Lord Shiva) lead us to immortality, just as the cucumber is released from its bondage.”

Word-by-word meaning 	:

◦	Om – is the primeval ancient sound from which everything originated. This sacred syllable represents the entire manifested world and the unmanifest, and also that which lies beyond both the unmanifest and the manifest.
	◦	Tryambakam – represents the three-eyed Lord Shiva who sees what we can see but who also sees what we can not see.
	◦	Yajamahe – we honor, worship, adore.
	◦	Sugandhim – sweet smelling, fragrant.
	◦	Pushthi – a well-nourished condition, prosperous, thriving, the fullness of life. Reality nourishes (sustains) everything.
	◦	Vardhanam – one who strengthens, nourishes, causes to increase (in wealth, health, well-being, wisdom, knowledge). On the spiritual path, our understanding increases day by day.
	◦	Urvaarukamiva – like the cucumber. Here it symbolizes each of us and our relationship to existence.
	◦	Bandhanaan – from captivity.
	◦	Mrityormuksheeya – free, liberate from death, attain moksha (a blissful state of existence of a soul, completely free from the karmic bondage).
	◦	Maamritaat – may I never again be parted from immortality.

Three Eyes of Shiva (Om Tryambakam - Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra)- FT Mala Ganguly - Christo Pellani

This material world is but a reflection of the pure spiritual world from which the "Light of the Bhagavata" emanates. Nature itself, as well as the whole cosmic creation, has its original counterpart in the spiritual world. The order and patterns which we see set about in nature are intentionally designed to illustrate spiritual truths. Indeed, the very existence of nature and its intricate balance is proof for any honest man of the existence of the Supreme Being, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna.

Light Of The Bhagavata -- A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Hare Krishna

The latest desire man has developed is the desire to travel to other planets. This is quite natural, because he has the constitutional right to go to any part of the material or spiritual skies. Such travel is very tempting and exciting because these skies are full of unlimited globes of varying qualities, and they are occupied by all types of living entities. 

The desire to travel to other planets can be fulfilled by the process of yoga, which serves as a means by which one can transfer himself to whatever planet he likes—possibly to planets where life is not only eternal and blissful, but where there are multiple varieties of enjoyable energies. 

Anyone who can attain the freedom of the spiritual planets need never return to this miserable land of birth, old age, disease and death.

Easy Journey To Other Planets Audiobook -- A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Yoga means the connecting link between the soul and the Supersoul, or the Supreme and the minute living creatures. Lord Sri Krishna is that Supreme, the Personality of Godhead. Being, therefore, the ultimate object of yoga, Krishna's name is yogesvara, the master of yoga.
