Song of the week ending 9, January 2009

Varade maata jagadambe maata
Bhakthi ka daan de ma, prema ka daan de ma
Tere kripaa ho hum pe maata

O Mother of the world, give me boon
Give me the boon of devotion, give me the boon of love
May your grace always fall upon us

Daas mein tere charon kaa
Mere praan bhi tu hi maate
Maa tere jaisa to koi nahin, prem mayi karuna mayi
Shatha koti pranaam charon mein

I am a servant of your lotus-feet
You are the vital force in me (life in me)
O Mother, there is nobody like you - you who are full of love and full of compassion
Hundreds of crores of prostration at your feet

Jis ne bhi maata tujh ko pukaara, sab sankat dur usne paaya
Jo tere darbaar mein aaya, man mein shanthi tune jagaaya
Maa tere jaisa to koi nahin, prem mayi karuna mayi
Shatha koti pranaam charon mein

O Mother, whoever has called upon you they have got rid of all sorrows
O Mother, whoever has come upon your kingdom (kingdom of love through surrender), you have instigated peace in their minds
O Mother, there is nobody like you - you who are full of love and full of compassion
Hundreds of crores of prostration at your feet

This is a beautiful song set in Abheri Raga. It is a very touching song speaking about the grace of the divine mother AMMA - it evokes complete surrender, devotion, love and prostrations to AMMA which in turn gives the seeker "complete cessation of sorrow" and "peace of mind". The song starts with one of AMMA's favorite form of prayer which is "give me the boon of devotion and love". The song has been recorded in my voice which can be found here.
