"
Mahalaya day, the day Durga was assigned the
task of eliminating evil. An invitation
to the mother goddess to descend on earth -
"Jago Tumi Jago".
|
|
Pushpanjali:
|
| |
|
| |
"O, Jayanti, Mangala, Kali, Bhadrakali, Kapalini, Durga, Shiva, Khama,
Dhatri, Swaha, Shwadha, my earnest dedication to you all. Ma Durga,
salutation to thee!" |
| |
There is another 'mantra' of total dedication. One, who chants this
'mantra', should demand nothing in return of it. |
| |
|
| |
"O, Mahamaya, Chamunde, Mundamalini, give me long life, victory and
liberation. The flowers of my anjali, I'm giving to you. Ma Durga,
salutation to thee!"
|
| |
The
next couplet is for only 'pranam', meditation and purification of
souls without any flower.

Narayani, salutation to thee! You are the cause of creation,
preservation and destruction, the receptable of all virtues and
qualities. O Narayani, Trigunamayee, Thou art, wealth, shame,
knowledge, faith, growth, the dead of night, the great illusion, the
Eternal and Swadha. O Devi, O Narayani, salutation to thee."
