Mharo pranaam Banke Bihari ji 
Mharo pranaam 

Mor mukut mathya tilak biraja 
Kundal alaka kari ji 
Mharo pranaam Banke Bihari ji 

Adhar madhur dhar bansi bajav
Ri jhiri jhawa braj nari ji
Mharo pranaam Banke Bihari ji

Ya chhab dekhya mohya Meera 
Mohan giriwardhari ji 
Mharo pranaam Banke Bihari ji 

Interpretation:

My obeisance to Banke Bihari, Who has a crown of peacock-feathers,
a tilaka mark rested on the forehead and locks of hair hanging over his earring hoops. 

With His sweet lips, He holds and plays the flute
And playfully entices His dear Radha. 

This image captivates Meera—this image of Mohana,
Who lifted the Govardhana Mountain

A Meera Bhajan - Mharo PraNaam (Kishori AmonkarJi's style)

Bhajagovindam is a beautiful composition  by Jagatguru Sri Adi Sankaracharya where He preaches man to spend his time in contemplation of the Lord and cultivate an attitude of detachment towards all worldly matters and stop wasting away life in futile pursuits of acquiring mundane pleasures and groveling in the mire of earthly attachments.
Swami always gave us the importance of Bhajagavindam in His many discourses. It is also included in the Bal Vikas Courses.

SRI RAMA CHARANAM

Guru Deva Guru Deva - Suthan A.

Śrī Sūkta, also called Śrī Sūktam, is a Sanskrit devotional hymn (set of shlokas / Śloka-s) revering Śrī as Lakṣmī, the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity and fertility. Śrī Sūkta is recited, with a strict adherence to the Chandas, to invoke the goddess' blessings. The hymns are found in the Rig Vedic khilanis, which are appendices to the Ṛkveda that probably date to pre-Buddhist times.
The goddess Śrī appears in several earlier vedic hymns, and is the personification of auspicious and royal qualities. Śrī Sūkta is perhaps the first text in which the homology between Śrī and Lakṣmī is drawn, and the goddesses are further associated with the god of fire, Agni. Since the later epic period (ca 400 CE), Śrī-Lakṣmī is particularly associated with Viṣṇu as his wife or consort.
The Śrī Sūkta describes Śrī as glorious, ornamented, royal, lustrous as gold, and radiant as fire, moon and the sun. She is addressed as the bestower of fame, bounty and abundance in the form of gold, cattle, horses and food; and entreated to banish her sister alakṣmī (misfortune), who is associated with need, hunger, thirst and poverty. The hymn also associates Śrī with (agrarian) fertility and she is described as the mother of Kārdama (mud), moist, perceptible through odour, dwelling in cowdung and producing abundant harvest. 

The Śrī Sūktam assumes specific significance because of Śrī Mahālakṣmī's presence on Lord Śrī Venkaṭeśvara, at Tirumala, or Viṣṇu's chest, at the Heart. Lakṣmi is the embodiment of Love, from which devotion to God or Bhakti flows. It is through Love/Bhakti or Lakṣmī that the Ātmā or soul is able to reach God or Viṣṇu.

Śrī or Lakṣmī is also the personification of the spiritual energy within us and universe called kuṇḍalinī. Also, She embodies the Spiritual World or Vaikuṇtha; the abode of Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa or Viṣṇu, not to be confused with Heaven, as The Heavenly Planets are still part of the Material Universe. Vaikuṇtha-Dham is purely spiritual, eternal and self illuminating. She is also supposed to have the Divine qualities of God and the soul. Lakshmi is God's superior spiritual feminine energy or the Param Prākṛti, which purifies, empowers and uplifts the individual. Hence, She is called the Goddess of Fortune.

The Śrī Sūkta uses the motifs of lotus (padma or kamala) and elephant (gaja) – symbols that are consistently linked with the goddess Śrī-Lakṣmī in later references. The lotus is thought to be symbolic of purity, beauty, spiritual power, life, fertility, growth or, in Tantra, the entire created universe. It is a recurring motif in Hindu (as well as Buddhist and Jain) literature and a lotus growing from Viṣṇu's navel is said to mark the beginning of a new cosmic creation. The elephants are symbolic of royalty and, in Hindu mythology, are also related with cloud and rain; they thus reinforce Śrī-Lakṣmī's stature as the goddess of abundance and fertility.

Later Hindu iconography often represents Śrī-Lakṣmī in the form of Gaja-Lakṣmī, standing on a lotus, flanked by two elephants that are shown showering her with water with their trunks. 
The Śrī Sūkta is one of the Pañca-Sūktam (5 Suktams) recited during the 3-hour long Abhiṣeka of Venkateswara, at the famed ancient Hill Shrine of the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Andhra Pradesh, India. The Abhiṣekam to the main deity is performed every Friday. Śrī Sūkta is also recited during the daily Arjitha Vasanthotsavam seva.

Shivoham

As we gear up to gleefully celebrate the God of all Gaiety, Beauty and Sublimity, here is a scintillating song to energize your veins with unbridled exuberance. 

Everybody has their favourite pose of Ganesha. For a moment, just let free that posture of the Lord in your mind. And imagine your Ganesha becoming fluid and vivid, vibrant and vivacious, and beginning to dance! So exceedingly delightful is the dance of your delectable Lord that you just cannot contain the ecstasy of that experience, you too unconsciously begin to match His steps! You are mad in divine exultation! You need no heaven - it is as if all the stars have come down because there is nothing on earth or in the fourteen worlds as divinely rhapsodical and riveting as this! That is the magical world of Natya Ganapati! 

This song, our second offering of SAMA, attempts to transport you to this ethereal world of elephantine bliss.
