3 Maha Mantra

Mother, it’s all Yours,” I am Yours, my heart is Yours, all my things are Yours, my life is Yours

O LORD, GIVE US THE STRENGTH AND THAT SOURCE OF ATTRACTION BY WHICH WE GIVE UP
ALL OTHER ATTRACTIONS OF ALL THE PLEASURES OF JOY, OF EGO, OF EVERYTHING THAT
WE
THINK OF, BUT WE SHOULD FALL INTO THE PURE JOY FORM OF THE SHIVA TATTWA,
ABSOLUTE.

• SAY FROM YOUR HEART:

I DON'T WANT THIS EGO ANY MORE.
I WANT REALITY.
LET THE REALITY BE SEEN BY ME,
FELT BY ME,
ENJOYED BY ME.

MOTHER BE IN MY HEART
STAY IN MY HEART
LET ME LOVE YOU FROM MY HEART.

• WE SURRENDER EVERYTHING TO YOU.

EVERYTHING - ALL OUR HEALTH, ALL OUR WEALTH,
EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE, WE SURRENDER EVERYTHING TO YOU
EVERYTHING - OUR BODY, OUR MANA - OUR MIND, OUR SPEECH, OUR TALK, OUR THINKING,
'EVERYTHING' WE SURRENDER TO YOU.
ALL OUR WORK, OUR JOB, RESPONSIBILITIES,
EVERYTHING WE SURRENDER TO YOU.
ALL OUR MISTAKES, OUR WEALTH, OUR MONEY,
EVERYTHING WE SURRENDER TO YOU.
ALL OUR RELATIONS, ALL OUR CONNECTIONS, ALL OUR FRIENDS, ALL OUR RELATIONS - THE
WHOLE WORLD WE SURRENDER TO YOU.
ALL OUR EDUCATION, ALL OUR READING, ALL OUR BOOKS, ALL THAT WE HAVE DONE SO FAR,

PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS (ENGLISH AND SANSKRIT)

I KNOW NOT HOW TO INVOKE YOU,
I KNOW NOT HOW TO WORSHIP YOU,
I KNOW NOT HOW TO PRAY TO YOU -
FORGIVE ME, ADI SHAKTI.
I HAVE NO MANTRAS, NO KRIYA,
NO BHAKTI, OH GREAT GODDESS,
AND YET - WHATEVER MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN TO YOU,
PLEASE FULFIL THEM, MOTHER, THROUGH YOUR GRACE.
ALL SINS HAVE CEASED, MY SORROWS TOO,
MY POVERTY HAS DISAPPEARED SINCE
I HAVE RECEIVED YOUR CHAITANYA AND
HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY YOUR APPEARANCE.
I KNOW NOT HOW TO SURRENDER TO YOU AND
HOW TO ACCEPT YOU;
I SURRENDER TO YOU AGAIN,
PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON ME -
SAVE ME, OH MOTHER,
SAVE ME, OH MOTHER,
SAVE ME, OH FATHER.
I MUST HAVE COMMITTED A THOUSAND SINS IN
MY LIFE FROM DAY TO DAY.
PLEASE ACCEPT ME AS YOUR SERVANT -
OH MOTHER, FORGIVE ME,
OH MOTHER, FORGIVE ME,
OH FATHER, FORGIVE ME.

MAY OUR ‘I’ CONSCIOUSNESS FADE AWAY

“WHY SHOULD ONE BRAG OF ONE’S ACHIEVEMENTS? YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT WHATEVER IS
BEING DONE BY YOU, IS ALL GOD’S POWER I.E. WORKING OF ADI SHAKTI AND YOU ARE ONLY
THE WITNESSES TO SEE THESE MIRACLES. FOR ACHIEVING THAT STAGE YOU SHOULD PRAY....
MAY OUR ‘I’ CONSCIOUSNESS FADE AWAY,
MAY THE TRUTH THAT ALL OF US ARE SMALL PARTS
OF YOUR BEING, BE ASSIMILATED WITHIN US,
SO THAT YOUR DIVINE BLISS WOULD RESONATE EVERY
PARTICLE OF OUR BODIES,
AND THIS LIFE WOULD BE FILLED WITH BEAUTIFUL MELODIES ENCHANTING THE WHOLE
MANKIND,
AND WOULD SHOW LIGHT TO THE REST OF THE WORLD”

WHEN I COME TO YOU,
I GET HEALING TOUCH OF YOUR LOVE.
THE WORLD THOUGH FULL OF MISERIES,
YOUR LOVE MAKES IT PEACEFUL.
THERE IS NO PLACE IN THE WORLD TO HIDE,
WHEN I COME TO YOU,
YOU CONCEAL ME IN YOUR DEPTH,
YOU MAKE ME FORGET ALL THE PANGS AND SUFFERINGS.
THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE THAN YOUR LOTUS FEET,
WHERE I FIND MY SOLE REFUGE.
I PRAY NOT ONLY FOR ME,
BUT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD.
TO EXTEND YOUR SOOTHING LOVE TO ALL
TO FILL THE WHOLE UNIVERSE WITH YOUR INFINITE JOY,
THAT YOU ARE.
THAT WHO IS INFINITE JOY, LOVE, PEACE AND BEAUTY IS GOING TO MAKE THE WHOLE
CREATION MANIFESTED WITH
HIS REAL NATURE,
THE ETERNAL HAPPINESS.
