Ayyappa Ganangal

Ayyappa Ganangal (Malayalam)
Translated by P. R. Ramachander

[Here is a collection of Malayalam Prayer Songs addressed to Lord Ayyappa, taken from a book of songs (Sarana Kerthanangal Published by Sri Ayyappa Temple, Bangur Nagar, Goregaom West, Mumbai) sung during the Sastha preethi celebrations in the Bangur Nagar Sri Ayyappa temple. Majority of the songs sung in this Sastha Preethi are in Malayalam. I was requested by one of the devotees of the temple to translate all the songs sung and type it out in English. I did this job with great pleasure. Here is the English translation of few of these songs.]

Dhyanam

Jnananda dhayambudhikku adhipanai,
Sarvesanai santhanai,
Dheenanugrahiyai parathparanumai,
Sarvajnanai nithyanai,
Saanandam sabarikku mokshamaruli ttu,
Yekanthanai vaneedum,
Veera sree sabari gireeswaraa, sadaa,
Neeyeyenikkasrayam.

Meditation

Oh lord of the sea of mercy and divine knowledge,
Oh lord of all beings who is peaceful,
Oh God who blesses the downtrodden who is the divine among divines,
Oh God who knows everything who is permanent,
Who with joy gave salvation to Sabari,
Oh God who is the valorous lord of Sabari Mountains
You are my protection.

Oh Lord, oh Lord, Oh God of Sabari Mountain,
Oh God with divine form, please help me.

Oh God not today, but always I would be the first timer,
Oh God please make me climb Kari mala

Oh God, When I see your devotees,
Oh God, make me salute them with devotion

Oh God let not the idea of teasing,
Many people, ever come in my minds.

Oh god, let all the thoughts which come to my mind,
Not come to my mind at all.

Oh Lord let me be happy on seeing you,
Oh God, please remove my difficulties and protect me

Oh God, there is nothing that is impossible for you,
In all these fourteen worlds,

Oh God the only thing that is permanent in this world,
Is the name of the son of Lord Shiva.

Saranam Ayyappa Swami Saranam Ayyappa,
Sabari giri nadha Swami Saranam Ayyappa.

Mandalam noyambu nothu,
Akshara laksham manthrangal urukkazhichu,
Punya papa chumadukalaam iru mudi kettum yenthi,
Ponnambala mala chavittan varunnu jnangal. (Saranam Ayyappaa..)

Pambayil kulichu thorthi,
Ullil urangum ambala kiliye unarthi,
Pollayai oru udukkaayai petta thulli paattu padi,
Pathinettam padi chavitan varunnu jnangal (Saranam Ayyappaa..)

Swami Saranam, Ayyappa Saranam, Swamiye Saranam.

Sri kovil thiru nadayingal,
Karpoora malakal kai koopi thozhuthu urugumbol,
Padma raga prabha vidarthum truppadangal chumbikkum,
Krishna Thulasi pookaal aagaan varunnu jnangal (Saranam Ayyappaa..)
Ayyappa, I surrender to you, Ayyappa I surrender to you God,
Oh Lord of Sabari Mountains, Ayyappa I surrender to you God.

After observing penance of Mandalam,
After chanting prayers with one lakh letters.
Carrying the burden of sins and blessings, and the Bundle of two parts,
We are coming to step on the golden Mountain (Ayyappa, ..)

After taking bath in River Pampa,
After waking up the parrot of temple sleeping in me,
With an empty drum, dancing in Petta and also singing,
We are coming to step on the ladder of eighteen steps. (Ayyappa..)

In the divine door of the sanctum sanctorum,
When Mountains of camphor salute and melt down,
We are coming to become the black Thulasi (ocimum) leaves,
Which kiss of the divine feet which shines like Padmaraga stones. (Ayyappa..)

Yerumeliyambalathil petta thulli pattum padi,
Orumayodu Ayyappanmaar purappedunnu.

Poya kala vaibhavathaal poo vidarthunnu.

Imbamode annadhanam nadathi naam munnerumbol,
Thamburande pamba vilakku akale kaanamm (Saranam Saraname..)

Oh Golden Ayyappa, I surrender, I surrender, I surrender,
Oh Ayyappa, I surrender, I surrender, Oh golden Ayyappa

Carrying the two section bundle, when we get out of our home,
The bunch of flowers of devotion start opening.

In the call "Oh God Ayyappa I surrender to you",
The essence of this world gets ready as the divine music.

After song and dance in the temple of Erumeli,
All Ayyappas depart with great unity.

The God Vaavar is saluted properly and,
The garden forest (poongavanam) opens the flower of past glory.

After singing the story of Hari and hara, when we reach the canal of Perur (Perurthodu),
The son of Harihara would bless us.

When we see the relations at Kalahati,
Then we can hear song of tides from Azhutha River.

When we spread the bed sheet and lie down in shore of Azhutha,
The flowers of Thulasi would bloom in the garden of the soul.

After taking bath at the dawn, we walk taking the stone,
Cross the Azhutha hill and walk further.

When we move singing the brother of elephant faced God,
The hill where stone (Kallidaam kunnu) has to be put nears

After we cross the Azhutha downs and cross kari ilam canal,
The Ayyappas would reach the door of Karimala.

For not getting the feet knocked while climbing Karimala,
We would sing the song of the son of enemy of Manmatha.
When we sing songs about him who lived in Pandalam,
We would cross the Pamba River and become ecstatic.

We should take bath in the clear water of the cool waves of Pamba,
And should forget all our sorrows.

When with happiness we do food charity and proceed further,
We can see the lord's Pamba light at a distance.

Please take pity on us with great love.

The Lamp of Makaram has brightened,
In front of the lord of Sabari hills
And I saw that divine portal,
Where earth and heaven stand saluting.

The stone pillars where the time,
Reads Puranas in seven days stood saluting,
The flower garland was made,
With thousands and thousands flowers of the heart,
And the divine ornaments were worn,
Shining chest where the breeze lives,

The slow cool breeze from the Mountains came,
The pollen grains sang the Bhairavi tune
The magnetic land of the God who lives in the forest,
Sang the Deva Gandhari tune,
When I shout "I surrender" in front of you,
Grant me great peace of mind.

When I become greatly joyous by touching your feet,
Let my sins go away as vapour.

Due to your form always occupying my thoughts,
Due to my always chanting your names,
And due to my always doing what you like,
It is not a lie, that I have got freedom for my soul.

For spending time without any fear,
For living always with mercy to all beings,
And for getting as much patience as the earth,
Oh Lord of Bhoothas I salute your feet.

I surrender to God, I surrender to God,

Besieged with problems all men,
Of this entire world, go as a crowd,
To Yerumeli to salute Lord Ayyappa,
And danced in Petta, please protect me Ayyappa

They lived there happily and in the early morning,
Crossed the doors of the fort and further walked,
And after taking bath in sacred waters of Perur canal,
And stayed there, please protect me Ayyappa

Then with sweetness they crossed Kalaketti,
And reached Azhutha river with love,
And with love took bath in Azhutha,
Without any botheration, please protect me Ayyappa

Thinking of Ayyappa who is the son of God,
After taking a stone from the river,
Immediately they climb, the Kallidum kunnu,
And live there that day, please protect me Ayyappa

With great speed they climb Karimala,
Cross the tall hill and they,
Reach Pamba, please protect me Ayyappa

In the Pamba which is famous all over the world,

And with out any delay climb Neelimala,
And without living there, please protect me Ayyappa

Seeing the very wonderful caves,
They assemble on the platform of Sabari Mountain,
And there after saluting Sabari,
With devotion, please protect me Ayyappa.

Then with great joy after climbing,
The eighteen steps and after saluting the God,
We came back after building a hut,
Oh Ayyappa equal to God of love, please protect me Ayyappa

After living there thinking of the God,
Next day at the very early morning,
Proceed straight to the North,
Please protect me Ayyappa who is the God.

Then all people join together in Kumbala thodu,
And with mounting joy after taking bath,
Giving charities and partaking in the feast,
We enter the temple, please protect me Ayyappa.

Without seeing the difference among people,
After saluting the God with great reverence,
Do prayers and penances as per our wealth,
With devotion, please protect me Ayyappa

Like that next day morning with respect,
All people Salute the Mountain and the mother,
And also Kadutha Swami should be saluted,
Please protect me Ayyappa.

That same day after getting down from Mountain,
All people come and stay in Yerumeli,
And Oh Son of Lord Shiva, we should remove the garlands,
Please protect me Ayyappa.

To all those who go and Worship,

Please grant salvation to all of them,
