Kripa

Kripa (Sanskrit: कृप, romanized: Kṛpa, lit. 'pity'), also known as Kripacharya (Sanskrit: कृपाचार्य, romanized: Kṛpācārya, lit. 'Kripa the master'), is a figure in Hindu scripture. According to the epic Mahabharata, he was a council member of Kuru Kingdom and a teacher of the Pandava and Kaurava princes. Born from the seed of the warrior-sage Sharadvan, Kripa and his sister Kripi were adopted by King Shantanu of Kuru Kingdom. Kripa was trained by his birth father and became a great archer like him. Later in the epic, he fought on the Kauravas's side against the Pandavas in the Kurukshetra war and was among the few survivors of the war. Kripa is considered as a Chiranjivi, an immortal being destined to live until the end of the Kali Yuga, the last yuga (age). … more »

The radiant form of the son of the wind
Eliminates the cause of affliction
The radiant form of the son of the wind
Eliminates the cause of affliction
With the pollen of the Guru's lotus feet
I cleanse the mirror of my heart
And sing the pure virtues of Lord Raghuvir
The bestower of life's four fruits
Knowing this body to be lacking in wisdom
I recall the son of the wind
Grant me strength, wisdom, intelligence
Remove my faults and afflictions
Hail the refuge of the feet of Sita Ram
Hail Hanuman, ocean of wisdom and virtue
Awakener of the three worlds, monkey lord hail to you
Unmatched in power, messenger of Ram
Anjani's offspring, the Wind God's son
Valiant Mahavir, body like lightning
Dispeller of ignorance, inspires good thinking
Golden colored body, clothing so fair
With rings in your ears and long curly hair
Lightning bolt in one hand, banner in the other
Sacred grass thread is worn across your shoulder
Avatar of Shiva, Kesari's delighter
Your radiant glory is adored the world over
Storehouse of knowledge, virtuous and clever
Absorbed in Ram's work, tiring never
Ever immersed in the stories of Ram
You're present in the heart of Sita, Ram, Lakshman
Shrinking in size, you came to Sita
In an awesome guise you burned down Lanka
Mightily destroying demons everyone
Ever fulfilling the work of Lord Ram
Bringing sacred herb to revive Lakshman
You received an embrace from mighty Shri Ram
Raghupati lovingly extolled your merit, said
You're as dear to me as brother Bharat
It would take a thousand mouths to sing your praise
Said so Lord Ram as he held you in embrace
Sanaka, all sages, and even Lord Brahma
Narada, Sarada, and Ahisha
Yama, Kubera and the Dikpals try to praise you
How can a poet ever hope to describe you?
Doing for Sugriva a very great thing
You brought Ram to him who made him a king
Vibhishan heeded your word and became
Lord of Lanka, the world knows his fame
Traveling many miles, you soared to the sun
Thinking it a fruit to eat when you were just young
Holding in your mouth Lord Ram's precious ring
You leapt across the sea which is not at all surprising
Difficult work wherever it may be
By your kind blessings is done so easily
At the door of Ram, you are the guardsman
No one can enter without your permission
All joy is gained by those in your shelter
What is there to fear with you as protector?
Such is your power only you can handle
Hearing your roar the three worlds tremble
Ghosts & evil spirits can never come near
To one who repeats the name of Mahavir
Illness dispelled and suffering gone
By constant repetition of the name Hanuman
By Hanuman's grace from all troubles freed
For those who remember you in thought, word, and deed
Greatest of all is ascetic King Ram
All of whose works you have easily done
Whoever comes to you with any desire
Receives the highest fruit of eternal nectar
In all four ages your glory is sung
Your fame enlightens the whole creation
For Saints and Sages, you are protector
Beloved of Ram, demon's destroyer
You can bestow all perfections and power
The boon was given by Janaki Ma
You know the essence of devotion to Ram
In his service you will ever be
By devotion to you the Lord is attained
Freedom from lifetimes of suffering gained
At the time of death, the Lord's abode is won
Any rebirth will be pure devotion
Remembering any other deity is needless
Devotion to Hanuman brings all joy and bliss
Suffering dispelled, rebirth cycle cut
For those who remember almighty Hanumat
Lord of my senses, Jai Jai Jai Hanuman hail to you!
Bestow thy grace as my Guru
For those who sing this one hundred times
All bonds are broken, the highest joy they find
For those who read the Hanuman Chalisa
Perfection is attained, the witness is Shiva
Tulsidas, eternal servant of the Lord, prays
Make my heart, Lord, into your home
Son of the Wind, dispeller of sorrow
Most auspicious in form
With Sita, Ram, and Lakshman
Please make my heart into your home
