Kirtan Daily Chant Sheets

As many of you have been asking for word sheets to accompany our daily chanting practice, I thought I’d post them here. What follows below is the opening invocations, followed by a collection of most all of the simpler chants we sing together each morning, and finally the closing prayers. You should be able to copy out the text and paste wherever feels most comfortable and usable for you. Where chants have appeared on recordings of mine, I’ve noted which recording and its release year for your reference. I’ll publish a second and third post for the longer chants, the Mahishasuramardini Stotram and the Hanuman Chalisa soon.

Dhyanam and Guru Stotram (Selected Verses)– 3 Prayers (2017)
Dhyayamo Dhavalavagunthanavatim TejomayimNaisthikim
Snigdapanga Vilokinim Bhagavatim Mandasmita Sri Mukhim
Vatsalyamrita Varsinim Sumadhuram Sankirtanalapinim
Syamangim Madhusikta Suktim Amritanandatmikamisvarim

I meditate on the Divine Mother, who is robed in pure white rainment, the resplendent one, who is ever established in Truth, whose benign glances beam with binding love, who is the seat of the six godly qualities, whose divine face beams with a soft, graceful smile, who incessantly showers the nectar of affection, who sings the glories of God most sweetly, who shines with the complexion of rain clouds, whose words are honey, who is immortal bliss embodied, and who is the Supreme Goddess Herself.

Gurubrahma Guruvishnu Gurudevo Maheshwara

Salutations to that guru who is creator, sustainer and destroyer, who is the limitless One.

Dhyaana MulamGurur Muurtih Puja MulamGuru Padam

The Root of Meditation is the form of the Guru, the Root of Worship is the Feet of the Guru, The Root of Mantra is the Word of the Guru, the Root of Liberation is the Guru’s Grace.

Akhandamandalakaram Vyaptma Yena Caracaram
TatpadamDarsitamYena Tasmai Sri Gurave Namaha
