I - DEVOTIONAL SONGS AT DAWN

11 Meditation on Ma


1. Om, I meditate on such a mother,

assuming perpetual samadhi,

Emanating golden lustre,

Rays of affection are coming out of her two lotus eyes,


2. Permeated with devotion, imparting devotional bliss unto her devotees,

Her smile conquered the "smile" of the autumn full moon.



3. As the sunshine impels darkness, similar to the wishful tree,

She also makes free from all bondage of ordealities

Those who take refuge in her.

 

4. Placing Mother in the lotus of my heart,

I remember, prostrate and worship her feet

With all necessary and ordained offerings.

 

12

1 - Glory to thee, Sri Ma Anandamayee, eternal holy

dweller of the heart!

Thy lustre, Mother Nirmala, illumines the universe,

heavenly virtues radiate from Thee, O Ma.

2- Queen of the Queens, Gouri, Thou art svâha,svadhâ (words which are chanted while making offerings to the Gods and the ancestors respectively) and Om, O Ma.

Thou art beautiful, really beautiful, charming , the reality beyond fullness itself, O Ma.

sky Thy hair, the universe is Thy form, O Ma.

splendour, the lustre of worldly riches, O Ma,

serenity and mercy, are all Gods together, O Ma.

Thou grant bliss, blessing, devotion, knowledge and the supreme state of oneness, O Ma.

The very life of Thy devotees Thou art, Grace

incarnate, Saviour of the three worlds, O Ma.

Thou art beyond difference and non-difference,

Thou art the supreme deity, O Ma.

Thou art the enjoyment of knowledge,

Thou art the charmer of Yogis and

Thou art the dispeller of the terrors of life, O Ma.

7- Thou art the essence of the seed -mantra (monosyllabic utterances generally corresponding to a deity),

revealer of the vedas , thou art all -pervading, O Ma.

Thou art with qualities and form , and yet without qualities and form. Thou art the very embodiment

of mahabhav ( supreme state ).

1 Who amongst you want to see ârati today,

come, the time is passing away,

come, come, who want to see, the time is passing away.

In the light of lamp, Ma’s feet are visible.
