Word-by-Word Breakdown
Origin & History
Source: Traditional Ayyappa / Sri Dharma Shasta dhyana sloka
Author: Traditional
'Bhutanatha Sadananda' is the dhyana sloka by which devotees open the worship of Lord Ayyappa, the deity of Sabarimala, revered as Bhutanatha — the Lord of all beings. 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. This single verse gathers the heart of his devotees' prayer: it hails him as ever-blissful (sadananda) and compassionate to every creature (sarva-bhuta-dayapara), and twice cries 'raksha raksha' — 'protect, protect, O mighty-armed one'. It is sealed with his salutation 'Om Sri Maha-Shastre Namah' and resounds through the pilgrimage season with the cry 'Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa'.
