I (9) Hymns to Devi

O MOTHER OF ALL! SALUTATIONS!
O MOTHER! You are so unique! Nobody equals YOU in Beauty, Love or Compassion.


All Divinities do bestow boons on their devotees!
They all keep their ‘palms’ in ABHAYA MUDRA and grant boons.
YOU never show your ‘palms’, O MOTHER!
THINE Lotus like Feet are enough to bestow any boon, more than one can wish for!
THINE Lotus Feet are enough to save any one from the most terrifying fear.
Let me have unwavering devotion towards THINE Lotus Feet!
SALUTATIONS! O MOTHER! SALUTATIONS!


Only ‘a few’ know about Your ‘Abode’! O MOTHER!
YOU are the ‘Rising Waves of Consciousness’ one calls as Jeevas!
YOUR Abode is the Great Jeweled Palace of CHINTAMANI.
Gardens filled with Kadamba Trees surround Your Divine Palace!
YOUR Palace shines like a special jewel in the ‘Bejeweled Island’!
The ‘Island’ is covered with innumerable ‘Kalpa’ trees.
The ‘Jewel Island’ floats gently on the waves of the ‘Ocean of Nectar’.
YOU rest on a couch of the form of SHIVA!
YOU relax joyfully on the lap of PARAMASHIVA!
O MOTHER! SALUTATIONS! SALUTATIONS! SALUTATIONS!
THE Ocean of Nectar: Unfathomable Bliss; Eternal; Pure; Supreme!
Kalpa trees all around; trees which can bestow boons anyone asks for!
A Shining Island of Shining Splendor floating on the waves!
KADAMBAA trees filling up the ‘Gardens’!
All virtues; all Gunas; all Knowledge; all love; all seedlings grown in a perfect manner by expert minds!
A Bejeweled Palace- which can grant any wish; Shining as the Supreme Palace of CHINTAAMANI!
Inside the Palace is the form of SHIVA; the form of Supreme Auspiciousness!
On that form of SHIVA rests the Supreme Lord of Lords; the MAHESHA!
On His lap rests the Supreme DEVI!
Her creeper-like arms garland the neck of her Spouse Supreme!
PARAMASHIVA sits in Unending Bliss!
HE is BLISS; the Supreme Ananda!
Waves of Blissful Awareness raise repeatedly producing Endless Creations!
DEVI in Ananda; Ananda in DEVI!
O the Most Honored SHAKTI! O the Supreme Form of SHAKTI!
O Formless Beauty! O Non-dual Bliss! O Bliss of Duality!
YOU are the Coiled up Power in the MULAADHAARA!
YOU rise upwards crossing all the other psychic centers of -
MANIPOORA; SVAADHISHTAANA; ANAHATA; VISHUDDHI; AND AAJNA;
thus transcending the bindings of five elements that make up the Creations!
YOU reach the SAHASRAARA CHAKRA; the Thousand Petaled Lotus!
There waits Your Spouse, the Supreme Bliss Form SHIVA!
You rush towards Him and melt in His embrace and enjoy Eternal Bliss!
YOU are the Supreme Form of Power, Love, Knowledge - all unified as ONE!
YOU are the Supreme Devi!
YOU are the Formless Bliss!
YOU are the Incomparable!
YOU are the Most Beautiful of All!
YOU are the Most Powerful of All!
YOUR Love for Your Lord is beyond words!
YOU are above Truth and Knowledge!
YOU are MAHAADEVI! YOU are MAHESHVARI! YOU are MAHASHAKTI!
SALUTATIONS! SALUTATIONS! SALUTATIONS!
O DEVI!
YOU have left the Abode of Your Spouse and descended down to the Earth!
Your Tender Feet dripping Nectar have stepped on the stairs descending down to the Earth and disappeared down into the MOOLAADHAARA again!
Your Spouse waits for YOU in the SAHASRAARA, the Thousand Petaled Lotus!
O DEVI! O SUPREME BEAUTY! BE Compassionate! Rise up in the KULA-PATHA, the Path of KULA!
Unite with Your Spouse suffering the pain of separation!
Bless this Jeeva with Your Grace, O DIVINE MOTHER! O DEVI!
SALUTATIONS! SALUTATIONS! SALUTATIONS!
O DEVI! O SUPREME BEAUTY!
YOU are like the Splendorous Sun shedding snow-Drops!
Your Beauty is like a Garden of Flowers attacking like an army even the demons!


Poets fail to describe Your Supreme Beauty; try as they may and pray for the Grace of the ‘Goddess of Knowledge’!


No Divine Being can be blessed with the Vision of Thine Beauty but Thine Own Spouse!


Even Rigorous Penance does not bring the blessing of Thine Vision!


Divine Beauties who adorn the Heavenly Abodes; curious of having the glimpse of Your Beauty; meditate on SHIVA and become ONE with Him; and thus get Your Vision as Him!


With such Beauty to Your credit, You seem to run towards an ‘ancient ghost of a man’, who is of ordinary countenance, yet adept in the ‘Art of Love’!


Other Divine Beauties revealing their charming forms; their shining clothing slipping off  from their bodies; revealing their naked forms chase that old man of insensitive looks!


But, Thine Loving Glance has fallen on that poor man and Your snakelike hands are extending towards him, with the garland!


Blessed is He by Thine Compassionate gesture!


He unites as ‘AANANDA’ with YOU in Eternal love and passion! SALUTATIONS to YOU BOTH!

O DEVI! O BLISSFUL DEVI! SALUTATIONS! SALUTATIONS! SALUTATIONS!
