Dhoomavati Mala Mantram Homam

Shri Ashutosh Jani, a visitor to this blog had graciously provided the Dhoomavati Mala Mantram. The audio for this as well as the lyrics in Sanskrit are posted at the following link: Dhoomavati Mala Mantram Audio .

The heart felt so happy after the development of the audio, that it was felt that a homam should be performed with a mandalam of this mantram. A mandalam comprises of 48 repetitions; with the addition of "Svaahaa" at the end to synchronize with the offering to Agni. The picture at the top of this post is a still photograph from the Homam. One might be able to visualize Sri Dhoomavati Devi in the Agni facing right ! In addition to this mantram, the Dhoomavati Gayatri Mantram was also included in the Homam. The Homam was performed in the backyard on a windy cold 5th of February 2018.

Two short video clips are presented below for the benefit of all !

In the following 1 minute 43 second clip, the Dhoomavati Mala Mantram is being chanted.

In the following 35 second clip, the Dhoomavati Gayatri Mantra is being chanted.

Thanks again to Shri Ashutosh Jani for this opportunity !

Om Sri Dhoomavati Devi Namo Namaha !

Dhoomavati Mala Mantram Audio

 At the request of Sri Ashutosh Jani, a visitor to this blog, here is the audio of Sri Dhoomavati Devi Mala Mantram. Sri Jani had commented over a year ago with this request. Unfortunately, this mantram is very rare and the internet has versions of the mantram that are full of errors and some are downright erroneous. Hence the significant delay in this post. Sri Jani was gracious enough to scan and send the authentic version from Rudrayamale tantra and that is what is presented here. As one may know, Sri Dhoomavati Devi is one of the Dasha MahaVidyaas and provides Divine Knowledge.

The whole hymn is less than 3 minutes long and for such a short hymn, it is extremely powerful. The Hymn describes the qualities of Dhoomavati Devi and then proceeds to ask for boons and blessings including destruction of enemies and removal of all diseases due to various causes. And the finale of the mantram is through a series of powerful bija-aksharams ( seed syllables ) requesting for quick arrival and protection ! The credit for providing this wonderful Hymn goes to Sri Jani and the enormous bliss attained during this recitation cannot be expressed in words !

The breakpoints in the recitation can be followed by observing the markings in the lyrics for the benefit of the listener / reciter. A copy of the original mantram with the break points shown are in the link to the lyrics at the end of this post.  This is available in Sanskrit only.

This is a short hymn. 2.14 MB

And now the audio: 2 minutes 20 seconds long.

Dhoomavati Sahasranamam Audio

In a previous post, we had addressed the hundred name hymn of Dhoomavathi Devi. Here, we will present the thousand name hymn.

Dhoomavati Devi teaches us to look beyond the obvious and get wisdom. Years ago, when I was between twelve and sixteen, we used to walk about a mile to go from our house in Rajkot, India to a Hanuman temple. The temple was by the side of a cow farm which supplied milk to the community. The priest at the temple was an old woman. I can vividly picture Her even now as She used to give us prasadams. I did not realize then, but now I feel She was the embodiment of Dhoomavati Devi; She was extremely compassionate, wore a white saree, had frail hands and always gave us blessings. That is the Grace of Dhoomavati Devi !

The Dhoomavati Sahasranamam is a thousand  name hymn in praise of Goddess Dhoomavati and is really beautiful. I must give credit to Kishore, my brother-in-law for providing me this stotram. It gives me joy to listen to it and hopefully you will enjoy it too!

And now the audio: 35 minutes 19seconds long.

Dhoomavati Shathanama Stotram Audio

 

Devi Dhoomavati is the seventh Dasha Mahavidya and is misunderstood by many people just like Devi Chinnamasta is. Wikipedia article can be found at :  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhumavati 

The first syllable Dhoom to be pronounced as in “zoom” and the last syllable as in "theme". This is important since the seed syllables form part of the invoking procedure. Here is a short minute long video clip taken from the Dhoomavati Homam performed by me along with my son on our back deck in mid 2015.

 

Devi Dhoomavati teaches one to look beyond the obvious and into the esoteric. She bestows boons to Her devotees and is a phenomenal Goddess of wisdom.

The Dhoomavati Shatanama Stotram is a hundred name hymn in praise of Goddess Dhoomavati and is really beautiful. I must give credit to Kishore, my brother-in-law for providing me this stotram. It gives me joy to listen to it and hopefully you will enjoy it too!

And now the audio: 3 minutes long.
