ശ്രീനാരായണഗുരു --ദൈവദശകം

Sree Narayana Guru was a not only a great philosopher but also a great poet. "Daiva Dasakam" or "Ten Verses To God" is a prayer written by Sree Narayana Guru. Guru's eternal message was "One caste, One religion, One god for mankind", The same is reflected in this prayer. The beauty of this prayer is that it can be sung by all. There is no mention of any religion or any particular God. God referred here is the God of everyone.

The prayer is in Malayalam language and below is the meaning in english:

O God! Do Thou grand us, and forsake us not;

Thou art sailor across the sea of suffering

Thy Feet a Mighty Steam boat.

One by One, when all have been told,

as none is left over, Save the teller

So may the inner Self, be firmly fixed in Thee!

Giver of never failing gifts of food

and clothing and other things,

Our Guardian, Thou , Who enriches our lives

Thou, and thou alone art, to us O! Lord.

Like the sea and the waves and the wind

and the deep may we and the great illusion and Thy Might and Thyself

be comprehended by me!

Thou art Creation itself, 

the Creator and the Universe of created Things and Thou art

O! God! Like wise the Material , Apparatus and Furniture of creation

Thou art the great illusion, and also the Author 

and the one who enjoys that illusion,

and Thou art the master who can remove illusion and grant the Supreme Union

Thou art the truth and Wisdom and joy

Thou art likewise the present, Past and Future,

Nor art Thou really separate from the spoken Word

Thy Being filled intensely,

to overflowing,

With transcendent Glory

We praise, "O! Great One"

Victory to Thee who art full of Auspicious Marks

Victory to thee, O! Great shining One, Protector of the week.

Victory to thee, O! Blissful thriving ,Ocean of love, to Thee all Victory

In the Deep Sea ,of Thy Majestic Splendor May we all be deeply

immersed and forever may Bliss Eternal reign supreme!
