Every year, on the joyous occasion of Durga Puja, we seek the blessings of our Maa Durga. So, on this auspicious day, writer Gouri Dasgupta offers her humble prayer to our Goddess. And we all at Clips and Pages too pray to Maa Durga with her…
Humble Prayer
Mother you are the only one
Without you we think for none;
You are our Universe:
Your ten arms are our power;
Drench us with your holy shower,
for the world is full of adversity!
Your blessings will save us from the calamity…
Durga means who saves us from disaster,
So we believe we have nothing to bother;
We hope one day you will diminish all the foe,
To overcome our thought, full of woe!
Our one and only devotion-
That no one can captivate us towards temptation;
Free us from all sorts of evil,
Enrich our sensation,
May we never hurt our fellow man
by engaging ourselves in the niggle.
These are all expectation,
from our Almighty one:
We are waiting for a glorious dawn.
