Votive Attitude

Maj-janmanah phalam idam madhu-kaitabhare
Math-prarthaniya-mad-anugraha esha eva
Tvad-bhrithya-bhrithya-paricharaka-bhrithya-bhrithya-
Bhrithyasya bhrithya iti mam smara loka-natha
The result of my life,
Oh god who killed Madhu and Kaitabha,
And the prayer and also my blessing
Would be oh, Lord of the earth,
If you can make me,
To be thy servant’s, servant’s,
Assistant’s servant’s servant’s,
Servant’s servant.

The sacred lines from Mukunda Mala, a garland for Lord Mukunda, is composed by none other than a king (Kulasekhara Perumal) who ruled much of what is now Travancore, in Kerala. Although as a commanding king, his votive attitude towards Universe personified as Lord Padmanabha, epitomizes a lesson we all can learn from the late great Masters.
Humility, as the height of Samarpanam our dear Guruji repeats daily. Of the totally selfless kind, as the king emphasizes in the immortal shlokam. I humbly invite you to dig into the deeper aspects of Surrender as a seventh level servant of God!!!! Om!
