श्री महागणेश पञ्चरत्नम्

श्रीशङ्कराचार्यविरचितम्

मुदाकरात्तमोदकं सदा विमुक्तिसाधकं
कलाधरावतंसकं विलासिलोकरक्षकम् ।
अनायकैकनायकं विनाशितेभदैत्यकं
नताशुभाशुनाशकं नमामि तं विनायकम् ॥१॥

 

नतेतरातिभीकरं नवोदितार्कभास्वरं
नमत्सुरारिनिर्जरं नताधिकापदुद्धरम् ।
सुरेश्वरं निधीश्वरं गजेश्वरं गणेश्वरं
महेश्वरं तमाश्रये परात्परं निरन्तरम् ॥२॥

 

समस्तलोकशंकरं निरस्तदैत्यकुञ्जरं
दरेतरोदरं वरं वरेभवक्त्रमक्षरम् ।
कृपाकरं क्षमाकरं मुदाकरं यशस्करं
मनस्करं नमस्कृतां नमस्करोमि भास्वरम् ॥३॥

 

अकिंचनार्तिमार्जनं चिरन्तनोक्तिभाजनं
पुरारिपूर्वनन्दनं सुरारिगर्वचर्वणम् ।
प्रपञ्चनाशभीषणं धनंजयादिभूषणम्
कपोलदानवारणं भजे पुराणवारणम् ॥४॥

 

नितान्तकान्तदन्तकान्तिमन्तकान्तकात्मजं
अचिन्त्यरूपमन्तहीनमन्तरायकृन्तनम् ।
हृदन्तरे निरन्तरं वसन्तमेव योगिनां
तमेकदन्तमेव तं विचिन्तयामि सन्ततम् ॥५॥

 

महागणेशपञ्चरत्नमादरेण योऽन्वहं
प्रजल्पति प्रभातके हृदि स्मरन् गणेश्वरम् ।
अरोगतामदोषतां सुसाहितीं सुपुत्रतां
समाहितायुरष्टभूतिमभ्युपैति सोऽचिरात् ॥६॥

WHY THE NAME 'DUPLEIX BOOKS AND GUIDANCE'

 

Wonder why I have named my books as Dupleix Books? Well. It is because of the fact that my grandfather, S. A. Venkatarama Iyer, whose photo I have shared here, was an admirer of Dupleix. Appears funny? Read this story.

​

Most of you may be aware that there was a General of the French Army known by the name of Joseph Marquis Dupleix. He was the Governor-General of French India and a rival of Robert Clive of the British India during the pre-independence days of the country.

​

Born in 1697 in France, Dupleix was sent on a voyage to India by his father in the year 1715. His father was a Director of the French East India Company. Because of his father's influence, Dupleix was appointed in 1720 to the  superior council of Pondicherry (now Puduchery), the capital of the then French India. Eleven years later Dupleix was appointed as the Governor-general of all French establishments in India.

​

A fight between France and Britain broke out in Europe in 1744. The French proposed neutrality in India, but this was rejected by the British. In 1746, during the course of this fight, Dupleix seized the then city of Madras (now known as Chennai) from the British with the help of a French fleet. He dreamt of establishing a French colonial empire in India, and to that end, he started to make alliances with many local rulers. He established an alliance with Hyder Ali, the then ruler of Mysore. He trained Hyder Ali and twice defeated the allies of the British. His plans led to the Carnatic wars over the Deccan plateau and the Carnatic region. The French Government eventually recalled Dupleix because it wanted to cement peace with the British.

​

Dupleix was a great soldier, dauntless and tenacious. He displayed great talents as an organizer and diplomat, and exhibited imaginative political vision.

​

My grandfather was a not only a good photographer but was also a great gymnast. He may indeed be called an all-rounder. Since he was an admirer of Dupleix’s courage and wisdom, he named his photographic company as Dupleix & co. He himself liked to be called as Dupleix. He had a lot of affection towards me. As a mark of his remembrance and as a token of tribute, I proposed to name this site as Dupleix Books and Guidance.
