🌸 English Meaning

O Lord who travels on Garuda,
May your lotus feet always shine in my mind.
May your divine presence remain in my heart forever.

O Lord, please remove my suffering,
Please remove my sins.

O lotus-eyed Lord, praised by the gods,
Your divine feet are worshipped by the wise.
O Lord, remove my suffering,
Remove my sins.

O Lord who reclines on the cosmic serpent,
Creator and source of love itself,
You free us from the fear of birth and death.
O Lord, remove my suffering,
Remove my sins.

O bearer of the conch and discus,
Destroyer of evil forces,
You are the refuge of all the worlds.
O Lord, remove my suffering,
Remove my sins.

O Lord of countless virtues,
Protector of those who have no shelter,
Destroyer of the enemies of the gods.
O Lord, remove my suffering,
Remove my sins.

Out of great compassion,
Please protect your devotee Bharati Tirtha.
O Lord, remove my suffering,
Remove my sins.


🪔 Reflection

This beautiful Sanskrit prayer composed by Jagadguru Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal, the revered Shankaracharya of Sringeri, carries the essence of pure surrender. Every line is simple yet deeply powerful. The devotee does not ask for wealth, success, or worldly comfort. The prayer asks only two things — “Remove my suffering” and “Remove my sins.” In spiritual life, this is a profound realization. When the heart becomes pure, everything else naturally falls into place.

The song praises the many forms of Lord Vishnu — the Garuda-rider, the serpent-resting Lord, the bearer of the conch and discus, and the protector of the universe. Yet the tone remains humble and intimate. The devotee simply longs for the Lord’s lotus feet to stay in the mind forever.

This raises a gentle question for us. In our busy lives, how often does our mind rest on something sacred? What would happen if even a small part of our daily thoughts turned toward the divine?

Bhakti poetry reminds us that devotion does not require complicated philosophy. A sincere heart, a humble prayer, and remembrance of the Lord are enough. When the mind learns to rest at the divine feet, fear slowly fades, and life begins to feel lighter, calmer, and more meaningful.
