Padmaavati -

I hope you all will like this...

I wanted to start a thread on "my" Svamini, Alamelumanga (Padmaavati). Especially since Gaurasundara said that I "post bhajans every day" and now I feel like I want to try to live up to that!

ksheerAbdhi kanyakakku SrI mahA lakshmikkini
neerajAlayakkunu neerAjanam

Here is the camphor flame offering to Sri Maha Lakshmi
Daughter of the Milk Ocean, sitting enthroned in the lotus

jalajAkshi mOmunakku jakkuva kuchambulakku
nelakonna kappurappu neerAjanam
aLivENi thurumunakku, hasthakamalambulakku
niluvu mANikyamula neerAjanam

I offer this white flaming camphor
to the lotus-eyed goddess, to Her beautiful face
to Her breasts; I offer this flaming camphor to Her
to Her lotus hands, to Her exquisite hair
like a swarm of bees,
to Her lovlieness
I offer this jewelled camphor

ksheerAbdhi kanyakakku SrI mahA lakshmikkini
neerajAlayakkunu neerAjanam

Here is the camphor flame offering to Sri Maha Lakshmi
Daughter of the Milk Ocean, sitting enthroned in the lotus

charaNa kisalaya mulakku sakhiyarambhorulakku
nirathamagu mutthela neerAjanam
aridi jaghanambunakku athiva nijanabhikki
nirathinAnAvarNa neerAjanam

To Her tender feet, Her thighs smooth and shining
like the trunk of a banana tree, sincerely offering
camphor from a pearl-studded box;
to Her navel and Her hips
offering with ardent love
this many-splendored camphor flame

ksheerAbdhi kanyakakku SrI mahA lakshmikkini
neerajAlayakkunu neerAjanam

Here is the camphor flame offering to Sri Maha Lakshmi
Daughter of the Milk Ocean, sitting enthroned in the lotus

pagaTu SrI vENkaTESu paTTapuRANIyai
negaDu sathi kaLalakkunu neerAjanam
jagathi alamElu manga sakkadanamula kella
niguDu nija SObhanappu neerAjanam

I offer this white flaming camphor
to the Queen of glorious Lord Venkatesha
and Her many-splendoured charms
I offer this burning camphor here, auspicious light,
to the most beautiful Alamelumanga
source of all the beauty in the world.

ksheerAbdhi kanyakakku SrI mahA lakshmikkini
neerajAlayakkunu neerAjanam

Here is the camphor flame offering to Sri Maha Lakshmi
Daughter of the Milk Ocean, sitting enthroned in the lotus
