Here’s a clean, English-transliterated version of the popular "Ramayan Sumiran" (often recited as a morning prayer or meditative chant).
This text follows the common Hindi lyrics written in English letters for easy reading and chanting.
While specific prayers can vary by region, the following verses are the standard opening for a Ramayan Satsang Opening Prayer (Invocation to Lord Ganesha): Gajānanam bhūta ganādi sevitam, Kapittha jambū phala-sāra bhakshitam. Umāsutam shoka vināsha kāranam, Namāmi vighneshvara pāda pankajam. Sumiran (Chaupai from Ramcharitmanas): Jo sumirat sidhi hoi, gan nāyak karivar badan, Karau anugrah soi, buddhi rāshi sab gun sadan. Mook hoi vāchāl, pangu chadih giribar gahan, Jāsu kripā so dayāl, dravau sakal kali mal dahan. Translation Highlight: Ramayan Sumiran Lyrics In English
Abstract The Ramayan Sumiran (literally, "remembrance of the Ramayana") is a condensed liturgical hymn that distills the essence of Valmiki’s and Tulsidas’s epics into a repetitive, melodic invocation. While traditionally sung in Awadhi, Braj, or Sanskrit, its English transliterated lyrics serve a critical function for the global diaspora. This paper argues that the English version is not a mere phonetic crutch but a distinct literary artifact that preserves the akshara (indestructible syllable) count, employs mnemonic alliteration, and facilitates a unique form of bhakti (devotion) where linguistic understanding replaces ritual purity.
