Some call you as the Nature
herself, or
The five elements unified as the
One;
Are you the one powering the
human creations,
The fire of life force, pure
intelligence or Shiva?
You are our wondrous Mother,
We offer you in the fire of our
Tapasya
The honey of ‘om’ for you to
drink;
Enjoy it and bless us with your
dance of Shiva
You are the light of compassion
for some and
Dark Kali of the Night for
others;
You are the source of all our
joys and the
Pain of sufferings too for many.
Numerous are the offerings we
brought;
Be pleased and place us among the
Celestials;
We surrender at your Feet for
protection,
O Shiva-Shakti, our shining
warrior Mother!
You are the nectar of truth, and
the
Healer of wounds and enlivening;
Aglow as the spark of our Life-Force;
You are enduring and an eternal
Divine spring of force and
spirit;
You have avowed to surround us
close
Always to protect and preserve.
With inner strength, we brought
out a
Sacred clarity from our sparkling
life-force;
Enjoy it as the divine soma elixir;
We aspire to join the tribe of Immortals
As we wait for your ecstatic,
redeeming dance
Two demons of Fear and Sorrow
Have surrounded us from all
sides;
Mean are their squads ailing us
With worries and deaths - trying
To rob us of the nectar of pride
and life
They have surrounded even this
Great land you have given us as
The shelter from all their harms.
They have us in siege from all
sides
Bringing down the decorated
mansions
With bombs raining all days long
Shattering the halls, houses and
castles
Drying up of the river of our
livelihoods;
We beseech you with hymns and
praises,
Come mother to protect us from
these foes
We seek refuge at your feet and
Plead for your compassion and
grace
To protect our dharma, laws and
rules
Our temples, women and children,
Our fertile lands, animals and
food,
With none else to protect from
our foes.
Our Loving Mother Shiva-Shakti!
Elevate us to the realms of
Immortals,
We have surrendered to your feet
in service
Consecrate our desires, music,
arts and
Aspirations to fit your grace;
We stand with obeisance
submitting
All chattels from our lives –
from the
Past, present and future.
