Shree Durga Mata Aarti

Durgachi Aarti praises Goddess Durga's power and benevolence.

The Durgachi Aarti is a hymn paying obeisance to the Goddess Durga. The lyrics in Marathi and transliteration in English: ॥ श्री दुर्गा देवीची आरती ॥ दुर्गे दुर्घट भारी तुजविण संसारी। अनाथ नाथे अम्बे करुणा विस्तारी। वारी वारी जन्म मरणांते वारी। हारी पडलो आता संकट निवारी॥ जय देवी जय देवी महिषासुरमथिनी। सुरवर ईश्वर वरदे तारक संजीवनी॥ त्रिभुवन-भुवनी पाहता तुज ऐसी नाही। चारी श्रमले परन्तु न…

I realised I've never drawn Durga as four-armed Katyayani. So here She is:

(Yes, I'm aware Katyayani is actually depicted holding different astras. But I figured these would look good on Her)

Also, a pic of Bakreshwar Mahishamardini Devi for everyone:

Little Durga sketch.

i finally!! wrote!! a hindu-inspired fic! is it tiny? yes. do i love it anyway? yes.

lalithambika

go forth and feast, children.

Thus, a girl is born. She is born, yet at the same time, she had already been there. The reason is simply that she had been born countless times before and will be born countless times after. When she is handed to her mother, she ceases crying, and instead, she looks. For one moment, as her daughter is born, Sally looks into the little girl's eyes and sees a million women and a single one all at once. OR: we say that the goddess resides in every woman. literally. OR: i mix pantheons. this the result.

The dance of the devi

Flowers for the goddess 

in my alta-dyed hands,

I offer them at the lotus feet

of the Mother of the Universe.

***

Gentle blues of the skies move out 

And Surya slowly rises from slumber

in its captivating regal glory,

its golden rays adorning

the Devi’s forehead.

***

I behold the golden complexioned goddess

set in stone with a benevolent smile.

My anklets lay at her feet

with turmeric and vermillion coating

some of those melodious bells.

***

A sweet summer breeze blows by.

A bell jingles and a lotus from her garland

falls to the brown earth at my dust laden feet.

A jingle of bangles and anklets,

A low hum of a mysterious yet beautiful tune,

And a voice sings,

A voice that I can recognize anywhere –

The Devi has risen!

***

Draped in silks and gold,

fragrant garlands around her limbs,

She steps outside to my courtyard,

A very humble stage for the one

who is the abode of this entire Universe.

The sun makes her ornaments gleam, 

yet her moon-like face is the brightest.

My anklets are around her feet

But what truly do I own 

in this illusionary world?

What I receive –

Beauty, intelligence, riches and power,

All comes from her.

***

And by the bright yellows of dawn

I see her dance in my courtyard.

Wherever her feet travel, little blooms arise

and where her hands softly touch,

Golden dust flies.

She twirls round and round

And I see the might cosmic Gods

Swirling around her magnificence.

Her veil, the illusionary veil,

which she playfully casts 

around this world

escapes the clutches 

of her beautiful braided hair.

And now I see. Clearly.

***

She leaps into the air,

Resembling a warrior

and a warrior she is,

for she is the Devi,

The ferocious Bhairavi,

The invincible Durga,

the slayer of Mahishasura.

She is the dark one, Kali,

The slayer of Raktabija.

***

Her dance of grace and elegance

transforms to a dance of death and destruction.

She is Shivatrinayani and Maheshwari.

She leaps and twirls with her trident

and her anklets and the temple bells ring 

harmoniously,

Just like the eternal forces of nature.

Devi is Nitya, the eternal one.

***

I, a mere mortal woman, a devotee

akin to the turmeric and vermillion on her feet

watch the goddess dance in all her glory.

I see all the worlds and this vast universe 

dance with her,

And maybe it is really true:

That everything in the world dances.

Laasya performs in every object,

in the largest to the very smallest.

***

And then I see the radiant one

stretch her palm to me.

I see my world in her hand

And clasp her hand tightly.

Which daughter lets go of her mother’s hand?

So we dance.

***

Stars and galaxies, planets and cosmic bodies,

Fire and snow, gods, demons and mortals,

I see her in everything

And this is the Dance of Realisation.

The music, the drums and the bells slowly fade 

But the dancing soul now awakened

dances in ecstasy.

I see, I hear, I dance, I understand everything now.

***

The Devi twirls, spins, sings, smiles and laughs

And finally heads to her abode, to Shiva, her life.

My life, a thread in her hands,

I now submit to her eternal play 

of this Life’s Dance.

***

I haven't written poetry in a while now. Somehow I couldn't capture this in a story format, it felt bland and very large and long. I didn't like it. The poem format perhaps gives me a little peace to form the vision I once had a few years ago while meditating on the goddess. I will obviously edit this later for the book, but for now here's the first draft poem for the book
