Subrahmanya Pancharathnam

 Subramanya  Pancharathnam

(Composed by Sri Adi Shankara)

Kukke Subramanya Swami

Hi viewer, welcome to my blogsite.

Pancharathnam means five gems or five precious slogams. This is also known as Kumara Pancharathna stotram, dedicated to Lord Subramanya at Kukke in Karnataka. 

Sri Subrahmanya Pancharatnam has been translated in english by Shri P. R. Ramachander. Sri Subrahmanya Pancharathnam is a five-verse prayer chanted everyday by devotees. The sixth verse of Sri Subrahmanya Pancharathnam explains the benefits of chanting this prayer.

Ya slokamidham padatheeha bhakthya, Brahmanya deva nivesitha manasa san, Prapnothi bhogamakilam bhuvi yadyadishtam, Anthe cha gachathi muda guha samyameva

यः श्र्लोक पञ्चमिदं पठतीह भक्त्या
ब्रह्मण्य देव विनिवेशित मानसः सन्

स गच्छति मुदा गुहा साम्य मेव  (6)

Those devotees who recite these five stanzas with devotion, with mind fully focussed on Lord Subramanya, would enjoy all the pleasures they seek on this earth and then reach the holy abode of Lord Subrahamanya.
