Salutations to the Divine Mother who exists in all beings in the form of

intelligence, mercy and beauty, salutations, O Sweet Mother, the consort of Lord

Siva. O Mother Parvati! Thou art Lakshmi, Thou art Sarasvati. Thou art Kali,

Durga and Kundalini Shakti. Thou art in the form of all objects. Thou art the

sole refuge of all. Thou hast enchanted the whole world. The whole universe is

the play of Thy three Gunas. How can I praise Thee? Thy glory is indescribable.

Thy splendour is ineffable. Protect me. Guide me, O Loving Mother!

 

O Adorable Mother! Thou hast generated this great illusion by which all people

walk deluded in this world. All sciences have come from Thee. Without Thy grace,

no one can get success in spiritual Sadhana and salvation in the end. Thou art

the seed for this world. Thou hast two aspects, viz., the unmanifested aspect or

Avyaktam and the manifested aspect or the gross universe. The whole world gets

dissolved in Avyaktam during Pralaya. Give me the divine eye. Let me behold Thy

real majestic form. Help me to cross over this illusion, O Kind Mother!

 

O Compassionate Mother! I bow to Thee. Thou art my saviour. Thou art my goal.

Thou art my sole support. Thou art my guide and the remover of all afflictions,

troubles and miseries. Thou art the embodiment of auspiciousness. Thou pervadest

the whole universe. The whole universe is filled with Thee. Thou art the

store-house of all qualities. Do Thou protect me. I again and again salute Thee.

O Glorious Mother! Salutations to Thee. All women are Thy parts. Mind, egoism,

intellect, body, Prana, senses, are Thy forms. Thou art Para Shakti and Apara

Prakriti. Thou art electricity, magnetism, force, energy, power and will. All

forms are Thy forms only. Reveal to me the mystery of creation. Bestow on me the

divine knowledge.

 

O Loving Mother! Thou art the primal energy. Thou hast two aspects, namely, the

terrible and peaceful. Thou art modesty, gentleness, shyness, generosity,

courage, forbearance and patience. Thou art faith in the heart of devotees and

generosity in noble people, chivalry in warriors and ferocity in tigers. Give me

strength to control the mind and the Indriyas. Make me worthy to dwell in Thee.

Salutations unto Thee.

 

O Mother Supreme! When shall I have equal vision and placid state of mind? When

shall I be established in Ahimsa, Satyam and Brahmacharya? When shall I have Thy

cosmic vision? When shall I get deep abiding peace and perennial joy? When shall

I enter into deep meditation and Samadhi?

 

O Radiant Mother! I have not done any spiritual Sadhana or service of teachers.

I have not practised any Vrata, pilgrimage, charity, Japa and meditation or

worship. I have not studied religious scriptures. I have neither discrimination

nor dispassion. I have neither purity nor burning desire for liberation. Thou

art my sole refuge. Thou art my only support. My silent adorations unto Thee. I

am Thy meek suppliant. Remove the veil of ignorance.

 

O Gracious Mother! Prostrations unto Thee. Where art Thou? Do not forsake me. I

am Thy child. Take me to the other shore of fearlessness and joy. When shall I

behold Thy lotus feet with my own eyes? Thou art the boundless ocean of mercy.

When philosopher's stone turns iron into gold by contact, when the Ganges turns

impure water into pure water, can'st Thou not turn me, O Divine Mother, into a

pure soul? May my tongue repeat Thy Name always!
