You rush to save Your devotees by dispelling evil in the forms of asuras like Bhanda, Chanda, Munda and Mahisha. My mind has indeed become shUnyapura.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 6, 2003 Dear group members, I am ashamed that I'm too late doing this. Anyway, here is my contribution to Namavali: 1. Oh Mother..I'm relieved of all my pains merely by thinking of you. Salutations to you. 2. Oh Mother...Your devotees are easily immersed in the ocean of mercy. Salutations to you. 3. Oh Mother...the Sun may fail to rise. The earth may stop rotating. But you never fail to love us. Salutations to you. 4. Oh Mother....our universe acquired eternity from none other than you. Salutations to you. 5. Oh Mother...all the appreciation I got in my life are yours. And all the mistakes are mine. Hearty salutations to you. Thank you, Ramesh. , "V.
