{SHRIMAD BHAGWAD GITA DHYANAM - 1 SHLOKA}

Om. O Bhagavad Gita, with which Partha (Arjuna) was illumined by Bhagwan Narayan Himself, and which was composed within the Mahabharata by the ancient sage, Vyasa, O Divine Mother, the destroyer of rebirth, the showerer of the nectar of Advaita (oneness), and consisting of eighteen chapters - upon Thee, O Bhagavad Gita, O affectionate Mother, I meditate!

|||| NAMOSTU TE VYAASA VISAALABUDDHE PHULLARAVINDAAYATAPATRANETRA, ||
|| YENA TWAAYAA BHAARATATAILAPOORNAH PRAJWAALITO JNAANAMAYAH PRADEEPAH. ||||
{SHRIMAD BHAGWAD GITA DHYANAM - 2 SHLOKA}

Salutations unto thee, O Vyasa, of broad intellect and with eyes like petals of full-blown lotuses, by whom the lamp of knowledge, filled with the oil of the Mahabharata, has been lighted.

|||| PRAPANNAPAARIJAATAAYA TOTRAVETRAIKAPAANAYE; ||
|| JNAANAMUDRAAYA KRISHNAAYAA GEETAMRITADUHE NAMAH. ||||
{SHRIMAD BHAGWAD GITA DHYANAM - 3 SHLOKA}

Salutations to Krishna, the Parijata or the Kalpataru or the bestower of all desires for those who take refuge in Him; the holder of the whip in one hand, the holder of the symbol of knowledge and the milker of the nectar of the Bhagavad Gita.

|||| SARVOPAISHADO GAAVO DOGDHAA GOPAALANANDANAH; ||
|| PAARTHO VATSAH SUDHEER BHOKTAA DUGDHAM GEETAAMRITAM MAHAT. ||||
{SHRIMAD BHAGWAD GITA DHYANAM - 4 SHLOKA}

All the Upanishads are the cows, the Milker is Krishna, the cowherd boy, Partha (Arjuna) is the calf, men of purified intellect are the drinkers, and the milk is the great nectar of the Gita.

|||| VASUDEVASUTAM DEVAM KAMSACHAANOORAMARDANAM; ||
|| DEVAKEEPARAMAANANDAM KRISHNAM VANDE JAGADGURUM. ||||
{SHRIMAD BHAGWAD GITA DHYANAM - 5 SHLOKA}

I salute Bhagwan Krishna, the World Teacher, the son of Vasudeva, the destroyer of Kamsa and Chanura, the supreme bliss of Devaki.

|||| BHEESHMADRONATATAA JAYADRATHAJALAA GAANDHAARANEELOTPALAA; ||

|||| ASWATHAAMA-VIKRANA-GHORA-MAKARAA DURYODHANAAVARTINI; ||
|| SOTTEERNAA KHALU PAANDAVI RANANDEE KAIVARTAKAH KESAVAH. ||||
{SHRIMAD BHAGWAD GITA DHYANAM - 6 SHLOKA}

With Kesava as the helmsman, verily was crossed by the Pandavas, the battle-river whose banks were Bhishma and Drona, whose water was Jayadratha, whose blue lotus was the king of Gandhara, whose crocodile was Salya, whose current was Kripa, whose billow was Karna, whose terrible alligators were Asvatthama and Vikarna, whose whirlpool was Duryodhana.

|||| PAARAASARYA VACHAH SAROJAMAMALAM GEETAARTHAGANDHOTKATAM; ||

|| BHOOYAD BHAARATAPANKAJAM KALIMALA PRADHWAMSI NAH SREYASE. ||||
{SHRIMAD BHAGWAD GITA DHYANAM - 7 SHLOKA}

May this lotus of the Mahabharata, born in the lake of the words of Vyasa, sweet with the fragrance of the meaning of the Gita, with many stories as its stamens, fully opened by the discourses on Hari, the destroyer of the sins of Kali, and drunk joyously by the bees of good men in the world, day by day, become the bestower of good to us.

|||| MOOKAM KAROTI VAACHAALAM PANGUM LANGHAYATE GIRIM; ||
|| YATKRIPAA TAMAHAM VANDE PARAMAANANDAMAADHAVAM. ||||
{SHRIMAD BHAGWAD GITA DHYANAM - 8 SHLOKA}

I salute that Madhava, the source of supreme bliss, whose Grace makes the dumb man eloquent and the cripple cross mountains.

|||| YAM BRAHMAA VARUNENDRARUDRAMARUTAH STUNWANTI DIVYAIHSTAVIAH; ||
|| VEDAIH SAANGAPADAKRAMOPANISHADAIR GAAYANTI YAM SAAMAGAAH; ||||

{SHRIMAD BHAGWAD GITA DHYANAM - 9 SHLOKA}

Salutations to that God whom Brahma. Indra, Varuna, Rudra and the Maruts praise with divine hymns, of whom the Sama-chanters sing in the Vedas and their Angas, in the Pada and Karma methods, and in the Upanishads; whom the Yogis see with their minds absorbed in Him through meditation, and whose ends the hosts of Devas and Asuras know not.
