Please do not come to such an conclusion looking at the list's postings for

the last few days. Please go to the archives and look at the postings. Most

of them are devotional in nature. Our interest is to worship ambaaL.

 

We all have an unique opportunity. Here we have assembled, in a purely mental

forum, and we all have come from different backgrounds, different countries,

and speak different languages. We should use this unique opportunity to

worship ambaaL in various tongues. Recently, suprabhaji posted wonderful

telugu poems and my dear dear friend Bala posted a amma's verse on ambaaL in

malayALam. I have requested one of the members to post a verse an ambaaL in

kaNNada. What a great chance, we can sing HER glories in various tongues,

Tamil, telugu, sanskrit, kaNNaDa, spanish, dutch, and what not. SHE is the

mother of billion billion life forms, and SHE has created us with such a

wonderful diversity, and bestowed us all the ability to worship HER in

various various ways and in various various forms. May SHE also guide us to

use our abilities.

 

AUM shrImAtre namaH

 

Here is a bhajan on ambaa I adopted from the bhajan "svAgatam kR^ishhNa"

 

svAgatam ambaa sharaNaagatam ambaa

svAgatam susvAgatam sharaNaagatam ambaa

 

madhurApuri ambaa manamohanii ambaa

jagadiishvarI abhayAmbike karuNaamayI ambaa

 

svAgatam ambaa sharaNaagatam ambaa

svAgatam susvAgatam sharaNaagatam ambaa

 

 

 

I take this opportunity to invite members to post bhajans on ambaaL to the

list.

 

O Mother! I will beg, borrow and even steal words from others to sing thy

glories. If do not like it, give me the creativity to compose poems on thee!
