Guest guest Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 SHIVA SHAKTI Om O Devi, you are Bhagavati, the supreme Vidya which is the cause of liberation, and great inconceivable penances. You are cultivated by sages desiring liberation, whose senses are well restrained, who are devoted to Reality, and have shed all the blemishes. You are the soul of S'abda-brahman. You are the repository of the pure Rk and Yajus hymns, and of Samans, the recital of whose words is beautiful with the Udgitha! You are Bhagavati embodying the three Vedas. And you are the sustenanace whereby life is maintained. You are the supreme destroyer of the pain of all the worlds. O Devi, you are the Intellect, by which the essence of all scriptures is comprehended. You are Durga, the boat that takes men across the difficult ocean of worldly existence, devoid of attachments. You are S'ri who has invariably taken her abode in the heart of Visnu. You are indeed Gauri who has established herself with Siva. Om Satchitananda Kathy (DEVI MAHATMYAM. trans. by Swami Jagadiswarananda. Publ. by the Sri Ramakrishna Math in Mylapore, Madras) Vidya is the cause of liberation while advidya is the cause of bondage. The Rg-veda, Yajur-veda and Sama-veda are respectively the forms of Mahakali, Mahalaksmi, and Mahasarasvati. Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

With tears and love - I adore your lotus foot Day and Night - I search worship your devotees What a great boon - how could I do all these, how blessed am I!! Even if I had done great service of virtues in my countless earlier births - these qualities are very hard to acquire - I know its all because of your Love - Oh my mother - u r seen in the whole of universe" The verses are more than 100 like this in praise of Shiva Shakthi Jai Shiva Shakthi Thanks & regards VMSunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
