Shri Subrahmanya Bhujangam - श्रीसुब्रह्मण्यभुजङ्गम्

Shri Subramanya Bhujangam is a stotra sung under inspiration by Sri Aadi Sankara at Tiruchendur. When he meditated upon Sri Subramanya, he became aware of a self-luminous light shining in his heart and words came out his mouth in extempore in bhujanga metre. Adi Sankara composed this hymn of 33 verses, in the peculiar Bhujanga metre, noted for its sinuous movement like that of a serpent. The hymn is full of piety, spiritual exaltation and ecstasy. It also reveals the efficacy of praise, prayer and meditation on Subrahmanya. Shri Subrahmanya Bhujangam stotra, the Bhujanga Stotra, is the outcome of the Acharya’s ecstasy. It is the high road that connects the human mind with divine ecstasy.
