**Vidhura’s Prayer .............A sincere sloka.....and of course......One of the most touching prayers.
Anayasena maranam
Vina dainyena Jeevanam
Dehi me Krupaya Sambho
Raksha Raksha Maheshwara.”
** Vidura was the reincarnation of Dharmaraja, more popularly known as Lord Yamadharmaraja, due to the curse of sage Mandavya.
Meaning of the sloka.......
An end that is peaceful and a life without hardships This is all I ask of you, Krishna and unswerving devotion for you
Please take note that this sloka has a distinct difficulty reciting. Slow down in pace...Voice may choke.....and may take few minutes to come to composure .
Now I am almost entering..... at My platinum age.... and I can honestly say that I am beginning to understand the profound meaning of this sloka...... and understand its deep interpretations. What more can a mere mortal wish for than to lead an unorphaned life protected throughout by the Lord Almighty and conclude it with a peaceful death?
Lord Yama said to a sage that this prayer was chanted by Vidhura. Some versions say, Vidhura prayed to Lord Krishna, thus......
Anaayasena maranam; vinadhinyena jeevanam;
Dehi me krupaya Krishna; raksha raksha Maheshwara.
An end that is peaceful and a life without hardships This is all I ask of you, Krishna and unswerving devotion for you......with little more clarity........
The meaning as refers to appeal to the Lord to give a peaceful death, a life without any trouble for the basic needs,and total Bhakti to Lord shiva..........And......It has to be followed by the Mahamrutnjaya mantras also........as was told to a devotees by the late Kanchi Mahaperiyava. (Shankaracharya ).
No other source can give complete explanation of life and after life other than our philosophy. Blessed are those who could read and understand this sloka together with Mahamrutnjaya mantra
