Happy Dusshera to all of you! The last day of celebration has finally arrived after the long festival of Navratri, where the different forms of Maa Durga are worshipped. On this auspicious occasion, Pramila Khadun offers her respect for Durga Maa with a prayer of gratitude. Clips and Pages shares the honour of presenting it before you…
Durga Ma
Durga Ma, of all mothers, you are the greatest
And we, humans on planet earth
Bow down to you in respect and reverence.
You are a mother to all who seek for maternal love
And you give hope and compassion to orphans.
Your lap is so vast that we all fit in it.
Your heart is so large that it gives love to all.
Your pitcher is always full of the milk of wisdom
And you quench the thirst of all spiritual seekers.
Ma, you are the greatest giver and you give
All that we need even before we ask you
For you are the knower supreme knowing our needs.
Looking at your pristine beauty, effulgent,
We are mesmerized and float like angels
Among the clouds light, seeing miracles emerge.
Looking at your smiles, we feel liberated
And all our troubles melt like snow and flow down.
Looking at your generous hands, we become nonchalant
And share our possessions with the needy and helpless.
Ma, you are our guide, luminescent and ineffable.
Take us all to the right path, however hard it is,
That path which leads to knowledge
Dispelling the darkness of ignorance.
Unite us all Ma so that no space is left
For egotism, self-centeredness, jealousy and hatred.
We have in you Ma, an uncompromising faithfulness.
This Navratri, take us all in your lap
And let our tears trickle down gently
To dissolve all our pains and sufferings.
Pramila Khadun
