Saptha Sloki Gita
Saptha Sloki Gita
(Taken from Stotraratnavali of Gita Press , Gorakhpur)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(These seven slokas in this order from Bhagawad Gita has been published by Gita press, Gorakpur, in their collection of stotras called Stotraratnavali. It is supposed to represent in a nutshell , the teachings contained in the 700 slokas of Bhagawad Gita.I understand that this Saptha Sloki Gita is being recited as a daily prayer by the Kashmiri Pundits for hundrerds of years)
Bhagawan Uvacha:-
Om ithyaksharam Brahma,
Vyaharan maam anusmaran,
Ya prayathi thyajan deham,
Sa Yathi Pramamam gathim. 1(8-13)
The God said:-
He who , meditates on me, As “Om”, which in Brahman, While leaving this ephemeral body,
Will surely attain the most supreme state.
Arjuna Uvacha:-
Sthane Hrisikesa, Thava prakeerthya,
Jagath prahrushthya anurajyathe cha,
Rakshamsi bheethani diso dravanthi,
Sarve namasyanthi cha sidha sangha. 2(11-36)
Arjuna said:-
In this state, Oh Lord, Singing about you.The world is happy and is rejoicing,
To see the evil ones flying away with fear , And all those devoted ones saluting you.
(This is told after seeing the Viswa Roopa of the Lord)
Bhagawan Uvacha:-
Sarvatha pani padam thath,
Sarvatho akshi siro mukham,
Sarvatha sruthimalloke,
Sarvamavithya thishtahi. 3(13-14)
The God said:-
It has hands and legs everywhere, It has eyes head and mouth everywhere, It has ears everywhere in this world, And it exists as every thing in this world.
Kavim purana anusasithara-,
Manoramaneeyaam samanusmaredhya,
Sarvasya dhataram machinthya roopa-
Madithya varnam thamasa parasthath. 4(8-9)
Think of Him , as ancient, spread everywhere, Ruler of all, much subtler part of an atom,
Protector of all with his form which is beyond thought, With the colour of Sun and transcendental beyond dark thoughts.
Oordhwamoolamadha sakham,
Aswatham prahooravyayam,
Chandamsi yasya parnani,
Yastham Veda sa Vedavith. 5(15-1)
With roots above and branches Growing down, This Banyan tree with Vedas as its leaves, Is everlasting and immortal, And whosoever knows it, really knows the Vedas.
Sarvasya chaham, hrudhi sannivishto,
Matha smrithir jnana mapohanam cha,
Vedaischa sarvaii , rahameva Vedhyo,
Vedanthakruth veda vidheva chaham. 6(15-15)
I live in everybody’s heart, And from me one gets, Memory , wisdom and forgetfulness, And for all the Vedas , I am the one that is to be known, For I created them and I am the one who knows them.
Manmana bhava Mad bhaktho,
Madhyajee maam Namakuru,
Mamevaishyasi sathyam they,
Prathijane priyo asi may. 7(18-65)
Concentrate your mind on me, Always show devotion to me,Sacrifice for me, salute me, And I swear to you because you are dear to me, That definitely you will reach me.

Translation by
P.R.Ramachander
(These 4 verses (8-11) occurring in the tenth chapter of Bhagwad Gita viz the “essence of God” is considered by large number of savants as the essence of the Gita but appears to me as containing a succinct definition of the “way of devotion (Bhakthi Marga) “of Bhagwad Gita, I am here giving the meaning of these 4 verses in a simple transparent language. Those interested in commentary are requested to visit http://www.ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/sep98/0077.html
Aaham sarvasya prabhavo,
Matha sarvam pravarthate,
Ithi mathwa bhajanthe maam,
Budha bhava samanvitha. 10-8
The wise man with devotion, Sings praises of me understanding that, I am the power behind everything, And everything works because of me.
Math chitha math gatha prana,
Bodayantha parasparam,
Kadayanthascha maam nithyam,
Thooshyanthi cha ramanthi cha. 10-9
The wise men thinking about me, And devoting their lives to me, Talk with each other about me,
And become satisfied and happy.
Tesham sathatha yukthanam,
Bhajatham preethi poorvakam,
Dadahami budhi yogam tham,
Yena maam upayanthi they. 10-10
They always sing my prayers, With love and concentration, And I grant them unified wisdom,
So that they can attain me.
Tesham yevanukambartha,
Aham agnanajam thama,
Nasayamyath mabhavastha,
Jnana deepena bhaswatha. 10-11
With great compassion for them, Dwelling deep in their heart of hearts, I destroy their darkness of ignorance, With a shining lamp of wisdom.

(Gita in three verses)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Many savants believe that the verses number 16,17 and 18 from the chapter number 15 which details “the sign of the supreme personality” of Bhagwad Gita is the essence of Gita. Below is the simple translation of these verses.

Dwavimou purushou loke,
Ksharakshara eva cha,
Kshara sarvani bhoothani,
Kootastho aakshara eva cha. 15-16
Two type of men exist,The fallible and infallible, All living things are fallible,And infallible among them are those, Who are merged with the principle of God.
Uthamam purushasthwanya,
Paramathmethyudahyatha,
Yo loka trayamavisya,
Bibhartha vyaya Iswara. 15-17
But greatest among those is another, Supreme self , who is said to be, That lord who is spread all over, And maintains the three parts of the universe.
Yasmath kshara matheetho aham,
Aksharathapi chothama,
Atho asmo loke Vede cha,
Praditha purushothama. 15-18
Because I am beyond the fallible one, And greatest among the infallible ones, The world and the books of Vedas,Call me as the most supreme personality.
