to Ammachi Family ~ from the Chandi Path

[Guest guest]

Dear Amma Family ~ I said to marci that I would share part of the Chandi

Path, the adventures of the Goddess, but since we have been talking about the 7

most important words Amma could say (I think I must have missed a post), I am

starting with the praises to the Supreme Goddess.

 

This is the part of the Chandi Path, Chapter 5, that occurs after the

Supreme Goddess defeats the Great Ego. And did you know that when you see

pictures

of Durga, astride Her lion, the small man figure in the lower right, with or

without head, is the Great Ego. I probably will need to do this in sections,

so I will try to make the breaks where it makes some kind of sense. For the

sake of my neck, back, arms and fingers, I am only including the English

translation here.

 

It starts with all the Gods praising the Goddess for winning the great

battle and doing away with the Great Ego and his army of Asuras (negative

thoughts). Installment One...

 

Verse 9

We bow to the Goddess, to the Great Goddess, to the Energy of Infinite

Goodness at all times we bow. We bow to Nature, to the Excellent One, with

discipline we have bowed down.

 

Verse 10

To the Reliever of Sufferings (Durga) we bow, to the Eternal, to the

Embodiment of Rays of Light, to the Creatress, to She Who Manifests Light, to

the

form of Devotion, to Happiness, continually we bow.

 

V11

To the Welfare of those who bow, we bow; to Change, to Perfection of

Dissolution, to the Wealth which sustains the earth, to the Wife of

Consciousness,

to you, we bow, we bow.

 

V12

To She who Removes Difficulties durgayai durgaparayai), to She Who Removes

Beyond All Difficulties, to the Essence, to the Cause of All; to Perception,

and to the Doer of All, to the Unknowable One, continually we bow.

 

V13

To the extremely beautiful and to the extremely fierce, we bow to Her, we

bow, we bow. We bow to the Establisher of the Perceivable Universe, to the

Goddess, to All Action, we bow, we bow.

 

V14

To the Divine Goddess in all existence who is addressed as the Perceivable

Form of Consciousness Whigh Pervades All, we bow to Her; we bow to Her; we bow

to Her, continually we bow, we bow.

 

Next Installment Tomorrow ... by the way, sound like Anybody we know... Jai

Jai Ma ~ Linda
