Dwadash Panjarika Stotra/द्वादश पञ्जरिका स्तोत्र
Dwadash Panjarika Stotra (द्वादश पञ्जरिका स्तोत्र): Dwadash Panjarika Stotra was written by Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya. Dwadash Panjarika Stotra is one of the compositions of Adi Shankaracharya. It contains the essence of Vedanta and implores the man to think, why am I here in this life? Why am I amassing wealth, family, but have no peace? What is the Truth? What is the purpose of life? The person thus awakened gets set on a path to the inner road back to the God principle.
The background of this Stotra is worth examining, during his stay in Kashi, he noticed a very old man studying the rules of Sanskrit by Panini. Shankar was touched with pity at seeing the plight of the old man spending his years at a mere intellectual accomplishment while he would be better off praying and spending time to control his mind. Shankar understood that the majority of the world was also engaged in mere intellectual, sense pleasures and not in the divine contemplation. Seeing this, he burst forth with the verses of Stotra.
This set of twelve Stotra is perhaps the most popular work of our text, traditionally recited when offering naivedya to the Lord. It is a superb synthesis of pristine devotion, exceptional spiritual wisdom and poetic brilliance, which only an extraordinary intellect could have conceived. It is a feast to the ears and mind when sung with devotion. The Stotra basically praise Lord Hari and His different manifestations, while incorporating important tenets of text philosophy.
This Stotra is dedicated to Lord Krishna; it is believed that while offering Food to god we should recite Dwadash Panjarika Stotra which means we are requesting God to accept our offerings. As we make food at home, firstly we should offer food to God as Naivediya and thanks to God for fulfilling our daily needs, then we should eat it food.
