Meditation On Lord Shiva

Shaantam padmaasanastham shashadharamakutam panchavaktram trinetram,

Shoolam vajram cha khadgam parashumabhayadam dakshinaange vahantam;
Naagam paasham cha ghantaam damaruka sahitam chaankusham vaamabhaage,
Naanaalankaara deeptam sphatika maninibham paarvateesham namaami.

MEANING: I prostrate myself before the five-faced Lord of Parvati, who is adorned
with various ornaments, who shines like the crystal jewel, who is seated peacefully in the
lotus pose, with moon-crested crown, with three eyes, wearing trident, thunderbolt, sword
and axe on the right side, who holds the serpent, noose, bell, damaru and spear on the left
side, and who gives protection from all fear to His devotees.

Meditation On Sri Rama

Dhyaayedaajaanubaaham dhritasharadhanusham baddhapadmaasanastham,
Peetam vaaso vasaanam navakamala dala spardhinetram prasannam;
Vaamaankaaroodhaseetaa mukhakamala milal lochanam neeradaabham,
Naanaalankaara deeptam dadhatamuru jataa mandalam raamachandram.
MEANING: One should meditate on Sri Ramachandra, with hands reaching the knees,
holding the bow and arrows, seated in the locked-up lotus posture, wearing a yellow garb,
with eyes vying with the newly-blossomed lotus petals, with a pleasant gait, who has Sita
seated on His left thigh, who is blue like the clouds, who is adorned with all kinds of
ornaments and having a big circle of Jata on the head.
