భవాని భుజంగ స్తోత్రం Part-1 | Bhavani Bhujanga Stotram | Garikapati Latest Speech

Join Sri Garikipati Narasimha Rao for the first part of his profound spiritual discourse (Pravachanam) on the Bhavani Bhujanga Stotram, a powerful composition by Adi Shankaracharya Swami. The presentation was delivered on October 1, 2025, at the Vijay Kanakadurgā Sameta Ishwaralayam in Kookatpally Housing Board.
Discovering the Divine Within:
This discourse delves into complex philosophical concepts, explaining the profound meaning encapsulated in Shankaracharya's work. The Stotram is composed in the Bhujanga Prayatam chandassu (meter), which is named after the Bhujangah (snake) because its rhythm mimics the serpentine movement.
The core teaching of the first verse reveals that the Divine Mother (Bhavani Devi) is present within the human body. She shines with immense radiance (Athi Tejas) within the Sushumna Nadi, which runs through the center of the Six Chakras (Shad Adhara Pankēruha). These six chakras (including the Mūladhāra, Swādhisthāna, Manipūra, Anāhata, Vishuddhi, and Ajna Chakra) are situated along the spinal column (Vennupusa), which is equated to the temple's Dhwajasthambham (flagpole).
The Path of Sadhana (Practice):
The goal of this spiritual practice (Sadhana) is to realize the Chidānanda Rūpam (form of pure bliss). Sadhana involves focusing the mind on the Kundalini Shakti, which manifests as Prana Vayu (breath), possibly through Sagharbha Japam (chanting integrated with breath). The Ajna Chakra is the ultimate station for human endeavor in this path, with Vijay Kanaka Durga Devi as its governing force. Successful practice leads to the point above the chakras (the Sahasrara or Mādu), where the Mother, described as Sudhāmūrti (form of nectar), causes Amrutam (nectar) to stream down from the Chandra Mandalam. This ultimate realization is known as Tattvam, meaning "That art Thou".
Ethical and Cultural Insights:
Sri Garikipati Narasimha Rao emphasizes the critical need for Jnana Lakshmi (Wisdom) over other material forms of Lakshmi, noting that true wisdom allows one to remain equanimous regardless of success, failure, wealth, or poverty. He also highlights the importance of cultural values, stressing that the first gurus are the Mother, Father, and Teacher. Furthermore, he shares the traditional definition of a family (Kutumbam) from the Rāmāyana, which ideally consists of ten members, with the tenth member being the esteemed guest (Athithi). The speaker urges listeners to live a life governed by Kartavyam (duty), especially towards parents, spouses, and children, stating that this is the highest form of devotion.
Watch this comprehensive discourse to understand how ancient scriptures, spiritual practices, and ethical duties align with the profound philosophy of Shankaracharya's Bhujanga Stotram.
