Bhavanyashtakam

Bhavanyashtakam is a Sanskrit stotra and it is a very pious and beautiful creation of Shri Mat param poojya Adi Shankaryacharya.
He is telling Bhavani mata that she is the only protector for him, she is the only Godess who can help him all the times, in all difficulties, troubles and she is the only divine source which can make him free from bondage of life.
I am trying to translate the stotra but it is very difficult job.
1 Acharya says to Bhavani Mata:
Mother, Father, Brother or relatives, daughter, Son, Servant can’t
Help me. Even my wife, the knowledge acquired by me, my belongings, Wealth, money or anything can’t help me.
I know that you can help me, protect me, give shelter to me, advice me, guide me, support me, you are the only remedy, and you can make me free from bondage of life.
2 I am Prakami (profuse), Pralobhi (having inducement) and Pramatta (Stubborn) and hence I have to face many difficulties, troubles and sorrow. I am very much afraid of all these. I am completely sinking in this bondage of life.
I know that you can help me, protect me, give shelter to me, advice me, guide me, support me, you are the only remedy, and you can make me free from bondage of life.
3 I don’t know how to donate. I don’t know Dhyanam or yoga. I
don’t know how to concentrate or pray. I don’t know how to recite
the stotras or mantras. I don’t know how to worship.
I know that you can help me, protect me, give shelter to me, advice me, guide me, support me, you are the only remedy, and you can make me free from bondage of life.
4 O! Bhavani Mata I don’t know what is poonya (virtue, merit). I have not visited holy places. I don’t know how to make me free from my mind. I don’t know how to be free from bondage of life. I don’t know what devotion is or how to worship.
I know that you can help me, protect me, give shelter to me, advice me, guide me, support me, you are the only remedy, and you can make me free from bondage of life.
5 O! mother Bhavani I have done many bad things, committed many sins, and lived in the company of bad people, troubled many people. I have become slave of many bad things. I have not done required good things in the family which my forefathers were doing. I have always uttered bad words, written bad thoughts, and opinions. However
I know that you can help me, protect me, give shelter to me, advice me, guide me, support me, you are the only remedy, and you can make me free from bondage of life.
6 O! Bhavani Mata you are the only protector. I have never worshiped, devoted any other God namely Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh, Indra, Surya or Chandra.
I know that you can help me, protect me, give shelter to me, advice me, guide me, support me, you are the only remedy, and you can make me free from bondage of life.
7 O! Mother Bhavani please I request you to help me when I argue with Scholars, help me not to commit sin, protect me when I am in voyage, when I am engulfed by water, fire. Please protect me in the forest and from mountains and when amidst in the enemies.
I know that you can help me, protect me, give shelter to me, advice me, guide me, support me, you are the only remedy, and you can make me free from bondage of life.
8 O! Mother Bhavani I am an orphan, helpless and poor. I have become very weak due to old age and diseases. I am engulfed in difficulties and troubles. I am going to be vanished.
I know that you can help me, protect me, give shelter to me, advice me, guide me, support me, you are the only remedy, and you can make me free from bondage of life.
Here ends the stotra.
Shri Adi Shankara charya was learned, he himself was free from bondage of life. He himself had become as a God. He has described our life. How we live, how we commit mistakes and sins. Even after committing bad things Bhavani Mata is our only protector. So bow to the mata and request her for betterment of our life.

Shri Shanaichar Stotram

This Stotra is in Sanskrit. Dasharath is rushi of this stotra.
Chhanda is Tristup. Shanaichar is Devata of this stotra. At the starting Dasharath bowed to God Ganesh and then he says Konantako, RoudraYamo, Babru, Krishnaha, Shani, Pingal, Manda and Souri are the names of Son of Ravi. (Shani is son of Ravi) Whosoever remembers him by chanting above names becomes free from all his troubles and obstacles. Then in the next three stanzas are describing the places that produce troubles to us. Shani makes us free from these troubles. Then in 5th Stanza how Shani is pleased is stated. Shani is pleased by donating Til i.e. Sesame, Barley, Raw Sugar and Iron. In the 9th he says whosoever recites this stotra with his family members becomes happy and receives all material pleasures.
The Ten famous names of Shani are as under. 1) Konstha 2) Pingal 3) Babhru 4) Krishna (black) 5) Roudrantako 6) Yama 7) Souri 8) Shanaichar 9) Manda 10) Pipalad who recites these names every day will not be troubled by Shani. As per Astrology we believe in Sadesati which is caused by Shani and becomes troublesome for about 7 and half years. This sadesati period becomes bearable if we recite this Stotra. Further if Saturn is badly placed in your horoscope or is with Mars, Harshal or Rahu then you are requested to recite this stotra every day and make your life happy.
