For Shalu
Blessings for a child
Santangopal Stotram(stotram means praise)
Make a prayer to Santhana Gopala by chanting the following mantra 108 times a day for 108 days after bath.
"Om Kleeng Devaki-sut Govinda Vasudeva Jagatpate
Dehi me tanayam Krishna Tvaamaham sharanam gataha Kleeng Om"
O Son of Devaki and Vasudeva, the Lord of the Universe
O Krishna! give me a son; I take refuge in you
As such, the result is up to the Lord. We do our best, but in the end, He knows what is good for us. Faith is known to move mountains.
Sri Krishana Sharanam Mamah
Hey Govinda Hey Gopala
Here's another version of the Santangopalstotram:
Devakisutam Govindam Vasudevam Jagatpatim
Dehime Tanayam Krishna twam-aham Sharanagatah
Deva Deva Jagannatha Gothra Vridhi Karap Prabho
Dehimey Thanayam Sheegram Ayushmandham Yashashreenam!
Some people say just the first two lines as the stotram and some include all the four lines; in the second set of lines, you explicitly request Lord Krishna for a child ASAP, whereas in the first set of lines you take refuge in him!
Note:
Nagaraja is the devata for Kutumba Vridhi. Perform Nagaraja pooja in your home by some learned priests.
Also visit Rameswaram, Devipattinam and the navagraha temples around Kumbakonam with your saha dharmini and make prayers to the devatas
u can recite santhana gopala mantras daily with doing abishekam to silver bala krishna deity idol.

Hanuman Chalisa English Transalation
Having polished the mirror of my heart
with the dust of my Guru's lotus feet,
I sing the pure fame of the best of the Raghus,
which bestows the four fruits of life.
Knowing this body to be devoid of intelligence,
I recall the Son of the Wind.
Grant me strength, wit, and wisdom,
and remove my sorrows and shortcomings.
1. Victory to Hanuman, ocean of wisdom and virtue,
Hail Monkey Lord, illuminator of the three worlds.
2. Ram's emissary, abode of matchless power,
Anjani's son, named "Son of the Wind."

remover of evil thoughts and companion to the good.

with heavy earrings and curly locks.

a sacred thread of munja grass adorns your shoulder.

So saying, Shri's Lord drew you to Himself.

Narada, Sarasvati, and the king of serpents,
15. Yama, Kubera, and the guardians of the quadrants,
poets and scholars - none can express your glory.
16. You rendered great service to Sugriva,
presenting him to Ram, you gave him kingship.
17. Vibhishana heeded your counsel
and became Lord of Lanka, as all the world knows.

you swallowed it, thinking it a sweet fruit.

it's no surprise you leapt the ocean.

becomes easy by your grace.

none enters without your leave.

those you protect know no fear.

the three worlds tremble at your roar.

Great Hero, when your name is uttered.

Your glory is famed throughout the world.

or is born on earth as God's devotee.
35. Give no thought to any other deity -
worshipping Hanuman, one gains all delight.

by remembering the mighty hero, Hanuman.

Hanuman Ashtaka Meaning
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
Because of his fear of Bali, the king of the monkeys, Surgrva, lived on a hill. He couldn't leave because a saint had cursed him, but he longed to see the Lord of Lords, Sri Ram. Who else but you could find a solution to this? Seeing Ram coming on the road, you took the form of Brahmin, and brought Ram to Sugriva, relieving Sugriva's suffering. Relieve the suffering of this servant of yours the same way.
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
You went with Angad to search for Sita. Sugriva had proclaimed that any monkey who returned without knowledge of Sita's whereabouts would be killed. All the monkeys were tired after searching and were by the shore of the ocean. It was then that you brought word of Sita, saving everyone's life
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
Ravana ordered the demoness to frighten Sita. Sita asked the demoness to help her put an end to her sorrow. At that time, you, Lord Hanuman, killed the great demon. When Sita was asking for fire from the ashoka tree, you dropped Ram's ring down to her and relieved her sufferings.
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
Laxman was fatally hit in the chest by an arrow, shot by Ravana's son. After killing Rhim (Ravana's son) you brought the doctor Sushena and his whole house. Then you went back and brought the whole mountain with the sajeevan herb on it. This is how you saved Laxman's life.
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
Ravana waged an invisible war and bound Ram and His whole army in nooses of poisonous snakes. Everyone was suffering from this illusion and couldn't get free. Then you brought Garuda who freed them all from the serpents and saved them all from their great terror.
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
Ahiravana took Ram and Laxman to the netherworld, to sacrifice them to the Goddess during a puja. Only you could help them by following to the netherworld, rescuing them and killing Ahiravana.
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
You have done so many great deeds for the Gods, Oh Great Brave Hanuman, just think, what hardship is there that a poor man like me could have that you can't remove? Come quickly, Oh Hanuman, and relieve all my troubles.
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
Red Monkey, with the red body
And shining red countenance
Your body is like a lightening bolt and you are the destroyer of demons
Victory, Victory, Victory to You, Lord of Monkeys
When you were a child, you swallowed the sun, plunging the three worlds into darkness and terrifying the whole universe. No one could free the world of this calamity, so the Gods came and prayed to you. Then you set the sun free.

presenting him to Ram, you gave him kingship.

Hanuman Ashtaka Meaning
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
Because of his fear of Bali, the king of the monkeys, Surgrva, lived on a hill. He couldn't leave because a saint had cursed him, but he longed to see the Lord of Lords, Sri Ram. Who else but you could find a solution to this? Seeing Ram coming on the road, you took the form of Brahmin, and brought Ram to Sugriva, relieving Sugriva's suffering. Relieve the suffering of this servant of yours the same way.
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
You went with Angad to search for Sita. Sugriva had proclaimed that any monkey who returned without knowledge of Sita's whereabouts would be killed. All the monkeys were tired after searching and were by the shore of the ocean. It was then that you brought word of Sita, saving everyone's life
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
Ravana ordered the demoness to frighten Sita. Sita asked the demoness to help her put an end to her sorrow. At that time, you, Lord Hanuman, killed the great demon. When Sita was asking for fire from the ashoka tree, you dropped Ram's ring down to her and relieved her sufferings.
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
Laxman was fatally hit in the chest by an arrow, shot by Ravana's son. After killing Rhim (Ravana's son) you brought the doctor Sushena and his whole house. Then you went back and brought the whole mountain with the sajeevan herb on it. This is how you saved Laxman's life.
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
Ravana waged an invisible war and bound Ram and His whole army in nooses of poisonous snakes. Everyone was suffering from this illusion and couldn't get free. Then you brought Garuda who freed them all from the serpents and saved them all from their great terror.
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
Ahiravana took Ram and Laxman to the netherworld, to sacrifice them to the Goddess during a puja. Only you could help them by following to the netherworld, rescuing them and killing Ahiravana.
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
You have done so many great deeds for the Gods, Oh Great Brave Hanuman, just think, what hardship is there that a poor man like me could have that you can't remove? Come quickly, Oh Hanuman, and relieve all my troubles.
Who in this world doesn't know, Oh Monkey, that your name is the "Reliever of Suffering?"
Red Monkey, with the red body
And shining red countenance
Your body is like a lightening bolt and you are the destroyer of demons
Victory, Victory, Victory to You, Lord of Monkeys
When you were a child, you swallowed the sun, plunging the three worlds into darkness and terrifying the whole universe. No one could free the world of this calamity, so the Gods came and prayed to you. Then you set the sun free.

(Asking the Goddess to excuse us-kshama-and to bless us--written by Adi Shankaracharya)
na mantram no yantram tadapi ca na jane stutimahona cahvanam dhyanam tadapi ca na jane stutikathahna jane mudraste tadapi ca na jane vilapanamparam jane matastva danusaranam klesaharanam
Neither do I know chants nor do I know methods, nor do I know how to make prayer. I don't know how to invoke you nor how to meditate, I have no knowledge of any songs. I don't know any signs (mudras) and I don't know the method of imploring deep pleading. But I know one thing for sure, if I follow you (within the folds of your love) I will be released from all my troubles.
vidher-ajnanena dravina-virahenalasatayavidheya sakyatvat-tava caranayor-ya cyutir-abhuttad-etat ksantavyam janani sakaloddharini sivekuputro jayeta kvacidapi kumata na bhavati.
O, Kind Mother (the Liberator of all without discrimination), I don't know the method of doing puja and I am also lazy by nature. I also do not have the capacity to do the right kind of prayer, With all these shortcomings, if there have been any mistakes, please overlook them. Because a son can be bad, however, it is not in the Mother's nature to be bad.
prthivyam putraste janani bahavah santi saralahparam tesam madhye viralataralo ham tava sutahmadiyo yam tyagah samucitamidam no tava sivekuputro jayeta kvacidapi kumata na bhavati.
O, Mother, on this earth you have many good sons and daughters but out of all these I am the most bad child of yours 0, Goddess, you have forsaken me because I have not concentrated on you, this is not reasonable, Because a son can be bad, however, it is not in the Mother's nature to be bad.
jaganmatarmatastava caranaseva na racitana va dattam devi dravinamapi bhuyastava mayatathapi tvam sneham mayi nirupamam yatprakurusekuputro jayeta kvachidapi kumata na bhavati
O, Mother of the Universe, I have never rubbed your feet or done any sort of service, I have not given you wealth, but even strangely enough, you are bestowing your grace on undeserving me Because a son can be bad, however, it is not in the Mother's nature to be bad.
parityakta deva vividha-vidha-seva kulatayamaya pancagiter-adhikam-apanite tu vayasiidanim cen-matas-tava yadi krpa napi bhavitaniralambo lambodara-janani kam yami saranam.
O, Paravati Ma, Mother who has given birth to Ganesh, while I do prayers to other gods, I remain busy with different kinds of works, all gods have left me because I 'm eighty-five years, and I can not give them all the prayers. I am despaired and I can not expect any help from them. If you also leave me at this time where shall I go for support except to you?
svapako jalpako bhavati madhu-pakopama-giraniratanko ranko viharati ciram koti-kanakaih.tavaparne karne visati manuvarne phalam-idamjanah ko janite janani japaniyam japa-vidhau
O, Mother! If anybody hears even a word of your chant, the result is--even the meanest man can utter the sweet pronunciation of this chant like honey and he becomes a very proficient speaker, The poorest man, you will find suitable work for him (The poorest man enjoys millions of pieces gold ) When even a word of your chant has such a result, the ones who are doing it regularly and methodically, we can not fathom what the result will be, and who is that mortal who can know it?

O, Goddess, Bhavani, the Adi-Goddess, the one who rubs his body with ashes and whose fool is poison, and the one whose body is nude, and has matted hair and a necklace of cobras and a hung skull in his hands as an alms bowl, gets that name of Jagadeesh (the Lord of the World) what is the reason for this? How did he get such an immanent position? It is only because of the union with you, and by this his importance has increased

O, the Mother whose countenance is like the moon! I do not have any desire for deliverance (moksha), I do not have any desire for worldly wealth. I do not have any craving for knowledge. I also do not want happiness. . . so I have this prayer that the rest of my life may pass in uttering all the names of the Goddess.
naradhitasi vidhina vividhopacaraihkim ruksa cintana-parair-na krtam vacobhihsyame tvameva yadi kincana mayyanathedhatse krpam-ucitam-amba param tavaiva
O, Mother! Shayam, (the blue-bodied one), I could not do methodically your puja or prayer with various religious articles (demeaning oneself before the Godgess). Always my meditation was not crystal clear because it had the hurdness. What fault did I have with all these shortcomings? You bestow on me the greatest grace which is only deserving of you. such a merciful mother can give shelter to such an undeserving son.
Doha:apatsu magnah smaranam tvadiyam, karomi durge karunarnavesi. naitacchathatvam mama bhavayethah, ksudhatrsarta jananim smaranti.
O, Mother! Durga! The ocean of mercy! I am remembering you because I have got all around me the difficulties. I did not pray before this. Kindly don't consider this prayer of mine as my wickedness, because the child who is suffering from hunger and thirst, only remembers the Mother.
jagadamba vicitram atra kim, paripurna karunasti cenmayiaparadha-parampara-param na hi, mata samupeksate sutam
O, Mother of the universe. I am not surprised, because of your complete grace. A son may do fault after fault, but the mother never ignores him.
matsamah pataki nasti papaghni tvatsama na hievam jnatva mahadevi yatha-yogyam tatha kuru
O, Mahadevi, Great Goddess, there is no sinner like me on the earth and there is no other person condoning the sins except you. Knowing all this, you do whatever you think is reasonable.

Narayani Stuti O Devi ! O Destroyer of woes! Be Pleased. O Mother of all the worlds! O Supreme Controller of the Universe! Protect us all, and protect this world! Thou art the Support of this Universe. Thou, the One is appearing as this world! Thou art water. Thou art the elements. Thou are Vishnu-Maya. Thou art the Cause for bondage and liberation. All knowledge is Thy form. All women are Thyself, O Mother! All this is filled by Thee alone. Thou art Intelligence in all men. O Narayani! Thou art the giver of Svarga and Moksha. Thou art Time, Space and Causation. O Blessed Refuge of the distressed, O Narayani! Salutations to Thee! O Destroyer of all troubles of the devoted who take refuge in Thee, O Narayani, Salutations to Thee!
O Brahmani with Kamandalu, sitting on the swan! O Mahasvari with trident, moon and serpents, sitting on a bull! O Kaumari with Mahasakti, sitting on a peacock!

(Asking the Goddess to excuse us-kshama-and to bless us--written by Adi Shankaracharya)
na mantram no yantram tadapi ca na jane stutimahona cahvanam dhyanam tadapi ca na jane stutikathahna jane mudraste tadapi ca na jane vilapanamparam jane matastva danusaranam klesaharanam
Neither do I know chants nor do I know methods, nor do I know how to make prayer. I don't know how to invoke you nor how to meditate, I have no knowledge of any songs. I don't know any signs (mudras) and I don't know the method of imploring deep pleading. But I know one thing for sure, if I follow you (within the folds of your love) I will be released from all my troubles.
vidher-ajnanena dravina-virahenalasatayavidheya sakyatvat-tava caranayor-ya cyutir-abhuttad-etat ksantavyam janani sakaloddharini sivekuputro jayeta kvacidapi kumata na bhavati.
O, Kind Mother (the Liberator of all without discrimination), I don't know the method of doing puja and I am also lazy by nature. I also do not have the capacity to do the right kind of prayer, With all these shortcomings, if there have been any mistakes, please overlook them. Because a son can be bad, however, it is not in the Mother's nature to be bad.
prthivyam putraste janani bahavah santi saralahparam tesam madhye viralataralo ham tava sutahmadiyo yam tyagah samucitamidam no tava sivekuputro jayeta kvacidapi kumata na bhavati.
O, Mother, on this earth you have many good sons and daughters but out of all these I am the most bad child of yours 0, Goddess, you have forsaken me because I have not concentrated on you, this is not reasonable, Because a son can be bad, however, it is not in the Mother's nature to be bad.
jaganmatarmatastava caranaseva na racitana va dattam devi dravinamapi bhuyastava mayatathapi tvam sneham mayi nirupamam yatprakurusekuputro jayeta kvachidapi kumata na bhavati
O, Mother of the Universe, I have never rubbed your feet or done any sort of service, I have not given you wealth, but even strangely enough, you are bestowing your grace on undeserving me Because a son can be bad, however, it is not in the Mother's nature to be bad.
parityakta deva vividha-vidha-seva kulatayamaya pancagiter-adhikam-apanite tu vayasiidanim cen-matas-tava yadi krpa napi bhavitaniralambo lambodara-janani kam yami saranam.
O, Paravati Ma, Mother who has given birth to Ganesh, while I do prayers to other gods, I remain busy with different kinds of works, all gods have left me because I 'm eighty-five years, and I can not give them all the prayers. I am despaired and I can not expect any help from them. If you also leave me at this time where shall I go for support except to you?
svapako jalpako bhavati madhu-pakopama-giraniratanko ranko viharati ciram koti-kanakaih.tavaparne karne visati manuvarne phalam-idamjanah ko janite janani japaniyam japa-vidhau
O, Mother! If anybody hears even a word of your chant, the result is--even the meanest man can utter the sweet pronunciation of this chant like honey and he becomes a very proficient speaker, The poorest man, you will find suitable work for him (The poorest man enjoys millions of pieces gold ) When even a word of your chant has such a result, the ones who are doing it regularly and methodically, we can not fathom what the result will be, and who is that mortal who can know it?

O, Goddess, Bhavani, the Adi-Goddess, the one who rubs his body with ashes and whose fool is poison, and the one whose body is nude, and has matted hair and a necklace of cobras and a hung skull in his hands as an alms bowl, gets that name of Jagadeesh (the Lord of the World) what is the reason for this? How did he get such an immanent position? It is only because of the union with you, and by this his importance has increased
na mokshas-yakanksa bhava-vibhava-vanchapi ca na mena vijnana-peksa sasimukhi sukhecchapi na punahatastvam samyace janani jananam yatu mama vaimrdani rudrani siva siva bhavaniti japatah
O, the Mother whose countenance is like the moon! I do not have any desire for deliverance (moksha), I do not have any desire for worldly wealth. I do not have any craving for knowledge. I also do not want happiness. . . so I have this prayer that the rest of my life may pass in uttering all the names of the Goddess.
naradhitasi vidhina vividhopacaraihkim ruksa cintana-parair-na krtam vacobhihsyame tvameva yadi kincana mayyanathedhatse krpam-ucitam-amba param tavaiva
O, Mother! Shayam, (the blue-bodied one), I could not do methodically your puja or prayer with various religious articles (demeaning oneself before the Godgess). Always my meditation was not crystal clear because it had the hurdness. What fault did I have with all these shortcomings? You bestow on me the greatest grace which is only deserving of you. such a merciful mother can give shelter to such an undeserving son.
Doha:apatsu magnah smaranam tvadiyam, karomi durge karunarnavesi. naitacchathatvam mama bhavayethah, ksudhatrsarta jananim smaranti.
O, Mother! Durga! The ocean of mercy! I am remembering you because I have got all around me the difficulties. I did not pray before this. Kindly don't consider this prayer of mine as my wickedness, because the child who is suffering from hunger and thirst, only remembers the Mother.
jagadamba vicitram atra kim, paripurna karunasti cenmayiaparadha-parampara-param na hi, mata samupeksate sutam
O, Mother of the universe. I am not surprised, because of your complete grace. A son may do fault after fault, but the mother never ignores him.
matsamah pataki nasti papaghni tvatsama na hievam jnatva mahadevi yatha-yogyam tatha kuru
O, Mahadevi, Great Goddess, there is no sinner like me on the earth and there is no other person condoning the sins except you. Knowing all this, you do whatever you think is reasonable.

O ultimate dwelling place of all material things, Lord Shiv- be gracious on me, be gracious on me!O Lord! O Shambho! O God! I neither know anything about yoga or penance nor about Ritual Worship.

Neeb Karori Baba Maharajji
Maharaji took samadhi in the holy city of Vrindavan on 11 September 1973. Vrindavan is the city of Lord Krishna's childhood. Lord Krishna has said that in kalyug if you need to find me, I can be found only in Vrindavan.
Mukti (salvation) cries in the lanes of Vrindavan asking Lord Krishna to free her and tell her the path to salvation. Lord Krishna says, "Stay in the lanes of this land (Vrindavan) where saints keep coming and going. When the sand of Braj (the land where Lord Krishna performed his acts) will touch your forehead, you will be freed from all"
Many saints have come to Vrindavan and left their physical body here. This holy land attracted Maharajji too during his last days and just before his death he came to Vrindavan from Kainchi. Maharajji was very close to nature and so he chose this place which abounds in natural treasures like peacocks, cows, cuckoos, monkeys and the river Yamuna. He decided to leave for the heavenly abode on the land which has been the playground of Lord Krishna. By doing so he achieved the highest degree of happiness and has been delivering the same happiness to his devotees ever since.
