Happy Mother's Day - jaya jaya jaya giri raaja kishoree !

[Guest guest]

Happy celebrations of Mother's Day to all.

 

I like to share this episode from the Baala Kaanda of Sri Rama Carita

Manas, the Divine Meeting of Sri Ramacandra and Sita Devi Who offered

prayers to Mother Parvati before Her Swayamvara.

 

" Considering how hard it was to break the unyielding bow of Lord

Shiva, She proceeded sobbing silently on Her way with the image of the

swarthy Form on Her heart.

 

When Lord saw Her going, that fountain of Bliss and affection and

grace and virtue,

 

-then with the gentle ink of supreme love He traced Her infinite

beauty on the tablet of His Soul.

 

Sita Devi then sought Mata Bhavani's temple and adoring Her feet,

prayed to Her with clasped hands:

 

'jaya jaya jaya giri raaja kishoree!

 

jaya mahesh mukha chandra chakoree!!

 

 

jaya gaja vadana shaDaanana maataa!

 

jagata janani daaminiduti gaataa!!

 

 

nahi tava aadi anta avasaanaa!

 

amita prabhaavu veda nahi jaanaa!!

 

 

bhava bhava vibhava paraabhava kaarini!

 

viswa vimohini svabasa vihaarini!!

 

 

patidevataa suteeya mahu maatu prathama tava rekha!

 

mahimaa amita na sakahiM kahi sahasa saaradaa sesha!!

 

 

sevata tohi sulabha phalacaaree,

 

varadaayinee puraari piaaree!

 

 

devi pooji pada kamala tumhaare,

 

sura nara muni saba hohim sukhaare!

 

 

mora manoratha jaanahu neekem,

 

basahu sadaa ura pura saba hee kem,

 

 

keenhevu pragaTa na kaarana teheem,

 

asa kahi charana gahe vaideheem. '

 

 

" Glory, all glory to You, O Daughter of the Mountain King!

Glory to You, Who gaze on the countenance of the

great Lord Shiva as the partridge on the moon!

 

Glory to You, O Mother of the elephant-headed Ganesha

and the six-faced Karttikeya.

 

O Mother of the universe with limbs as lustrous as the lightning-flash!!

 

Your beginning and end know no ceasing; Your infinite majesty is a

mystery even to Vedas. You are responsible for the birth, continuance

and ultimate destruction of the world; You bewitch the whole universe

and sport independently of others!

 

Among all good women who adore their husbands as gods, O Mother, You

rank foremost!

 

Your measureless majesty is more than thousand Saraswathis and Sheshas

could tell!!

 

The four-fold rewards of life (viz., religious merit, worldly riches,

sensuous enjoyment and liberation) are easily attainable through Your

service, O Granter of boons, Beloved of Shiva (the Slayer of Tripura)!

 

All who adore Your lotus feet, O Goddess, attain happiness, be they

gods, men or Sages.

 

Full well know My heart's longing, O You Whose dwelling-place is the

hearts of all; wherefore I have refrained from declaring aloud. "

 

With these words Videha's Daughter, Sita Devi clasped the feet of the

Goddess Parvathi.
