Traditional Ayyappa / Sri Dharma Shasta Namaskara Slokam · Traditional
The Dharma Shasta Stotram, universally known by its opening words 'Loka Veeram Mahapoojyam', is the most widely recited prayer of salutation to Lord Ayyappa, the deity of Sabarimala. Ayyappa is worshipped as Hariharaputra — the son born of Hari (Vishnu, as Mohini) and Hara (Shiva) — and as Manikanta, raised in the Pandya royal household, and as Bhutanatha, the lord of all beings. In five verses the hymn salutes him as the world's hero, protector of all, remover of obstacles, destroyer of enemies and lord of Kerala, each verse sealed with the bow 'Shastaram Pranamamyaham'. It is chanted daily by his devotees and resounds throughout the Mandala-Makaravilakku pilgrimage season with the cry 'Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa'.
✦ શાસ્ત્રોમાં કહ્યા પ્રમાણે
Ayyappa devotees hold that this prayer of prostration, recited with faith through the 41-day vratam, draws the Lord's protecting grace upon the household — scattering enemies and obstacles as Shasta once subdued the demoness Mahishi, and carrying the pilgrim safely to his darshan upon the eighteen sacred steps of Sabarimala.
