Ondu namaskaravo indira ramanane
eradu namaskaravo garudagamanaa
mooru namaskaravo mukthi nayagane
naalku namaskaravo naaga sayana
aidhu namaskaravo achyutha nandana
aaru namaskaravo neerajaksha
yelu namaskaravo velesasayi
entu namaskaravo pandavarodaya
ombatthu namaskaravo ambuthisayanane
hatthu namaskaravo pakka bandhu
mukthiyannu kottu enna mannisi salahayya
bakthavathsala marayabedavayya

thrutheeya namaskaravo thripurasoorasamhaariye
chathurtha namaskaravo chathurveda moorthy
pancham namaskaravo kanjadhala nethrane
sashta namaskaravo sri lakshmi arasane
sapthama namaskaravo sanakaadhi vandhyane
ashtama namaskaravo dhusta nigrahane
navamana mankaaravo amara priyane
dasama namaskaravo dasaavathara prabhuve
prithiyindhali bandhenna paliseyya enna
bavabayangala pidise rakshiyya dayadhindha
dayamaadi bidi enna kayya

Sloka to chant while eating

Srividya Guruprasad2 Comments

Eating is an essential everyday activity, which is required in order to live. It is God, who has created each and every thing.

Food, hunger, living beings, all of them form the part of God’s creation.

ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಾರ್ಪಣಂ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಹವಿಃ
ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಾಗ್ನೌ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಣಾ ಹುತಮ್ |
ಬ್ರಹೈವ ತೇನ ಗಂತವ್ಯಂ
ಬ್ರಹ್ಮ ಕರ್ಮ ಸಮಾಧಿನಾ  ||

“Brahmaarpanam Brahma Havih Brahmaagnau Brahmana Hutam,
Brahmaiva Tena Gantavyam Brahmakarmasamaadhina”

Meaning:

A practice of offering is Brahman, the religious offering is Brahman, the device of offering is Brahman, and the fire (hunger) to which the offering is made, is also Brahman. For such a one, who abides in everything (Brahman), by him alone Brahman is reached”.

This Shloka implies that god is everywhere, in the food, inside the devotee and even the hunger is God. So, devotee is taking the food (God) to the hunger (God). To summarize, we always thank god for his divine grace.
