Subrahmanya
Bhujanga (pronunciation = 'soo-bra-manya boo-jan-gam') stotra of Śrī Sankaracharya is a
production of rare merit invaluable to the seeker of the grace of Lord Kumara.
In the concentrated meditation of His divine form the heart of the great
Sankaracharya took flood and over the flood of his piety the Bhujanga Stotra
floated forth in verse.
The very beginning connotes the psychology of its
birth. Forgetful of the self and, hence of all acquired knowledge and mastery
of learning and poesy stood the Great World Teacher before the altar of Śrī
Shanmukha at Tiruchendur. The Lord entered His heart, verses flowed. The
Acharya knew not.
This stotra, the Bhujanga Stotra, is the outcome of the
Acharya's ecstasy. It is the high road that connects the human mind with the
divine ecstasy.
An earnest recital of the stotra, repeated with zest
and earnestness induces the ecstasy of which it is the product. This is the
value of the great works of Atma Anubhava of the Great ones. The bhavas and the
philosophy bear instructive analogy to the Anubhuti of Śrī
Arunagiri.
God Subrahmanya is the one God for all, of all castes
and creeds inclusive of the out-castes and un-touchables so called. Through His
Grace man can effect the conquest of His senses and by attuning His will with
the Supreme become the master of His fate and the rich recipient of Divine
Bliss. This theme of the Skanda Purana is found replete in this Bhujanga
Stotra. May the World profit by this publication.
The Subrahmanya Ashtotra
To this is added the Ashtotra 108 names of the Lord
descriptive of His powers, Form, mercy and achievements. Even one recital every
day is bound to produce a harmonious and equable mental atmosphere, which is
the true sine quo non of a successful life. The Great Ones have blessed the
World with these stotras that with their aid people may ascend to the heights
of Ecstasy from which they sprang. Will they be disappointed in this or the
succeeding generaions? Let humanity answer.
