Devi Upanishad - an excerpt!

[Guest guest]

respected Ambaa-l devotees ,

 

here is an excerpt from Devi Upanishad....

 

quote begins .....

 

Salutation to the Goddess, the great Goddess !

 

To Siva, the auspicious, salutation, for ever more.

 

To blessed Prakriti, salutation !

 

Ever to Her we bow.

 

Refuge I seek in Her who is the colour of fire,

 

Burning with ascetic ardour, Goddess resplendent,

 

Delighting in actions' fruits; O Thou, hard to reach,

 

Dispel Thy gloom.

 

The gods engendered divine Speech;

 

Her, beasts of all forms speak;

 

The cow that yields sweet fruits and vigour –

 

To us may lauded Speech appear.

 

To holy Siva, to Daksha's daughter,

 

To Aditi and Sarasvati,

 

To Skanda's Mother, Vishnu's Power,

 

To Night of death by Brahma lauded,

 

We render obeisance.

 

Know we Great Lakshmi,

 

Goddess of good Fortune;

 

On all fulfilment do we meditate.

 

May the Goddess inspire us !

 

Through You, Dakshayani, was Aditi born;

 

She is your daughter; after her were born

 

The gods auspicious,

 

Friends of deathlessness.

 

Love, womb, love's part, the bearer of the thunderbolt

 

The cave, ha-sa, the wind, the cloud, Indra;

 

Again the cave, sa-ka-la with Maya –

 

So runs the full primeval science begetting all.

 

This is the power of Self, enchanting all, armed with the noose, the

hook, the bow and the arrow. This is the great and holy Science.

 

who knows thus tides over grief.

 

Divine Mother ! Salutation to you; protect us in all possible ways.

 

With crescent moon adorned.
