1,000 Jai Sri Durga


IT IS SAID THAT CHANTING JAI SRI DURGA 100,000 TIMES DURING THE
HOLY SEASON IS THE SAME AS PERFORMING ONE GRAND DURGA PUJA, 
IN THE SILENT TEMPLE OF OUR UNITED HEART OF HEARTS. 
JAI SRI DURGA CHANTING IS PERFORMED FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNITY 
AND TO HELP ALL THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. 

MAY OUR CEASELESS UTTERANCE OF THY HOLY NAMES TRANSFORM US
TO THY LIKENESS; INSPIRED THAT OUR MATTER WORSHIP BE CHANGE
INTO ADORATION OF THEE, AND THROUGH OUR PURIFIED HEART,
MAY ALL NATIONS BE LIBERATED FROM MISERY;
AND THE SOUL FREEDOM WITHIN BE MANIFESTED OUTWARDLY, 
AND FINALY BE ATUNED TO THY FAULTLESS WILL...

Jai Sri Durga, Jai Sri Durga, Jai Sri Durga, Jai Sri Durga, Jai Sri Durga
Jai Sri Durga, Jai Sri Durga, Jai Sri Durga, Jai Sri Durga, Jai Sri Durga

I am Pure Knowledge and Bliss



Om. I am neither the mind, intellect, ego, nor chitta,

Neither am I the senses of hearing, taste, sight, smell or touch;
Nor am I ether, earth, air, fire, or water,
I am Pure Knowledge and Bliss:
I am Siva! I am Siva!

Chant the Name



Chant the name of the Lord and His glory unceasingly 

That the mirror of the heart may be wiped clean
And quench that mighty forest fire, 
Worldly lust, raging furiously within.




Oh name, stream down in moonlight on the lotus heart,
Opening its cup to knowledge of thyself. 
Oh self, drown deep in the waves of His bliss,
Chanting His name continually,
Tasting His nectar at every step, 
Bathing in His name, that bath for weary souls.

Breaker of This World's Chain



Breaker of this world's chain, we adore Thee, whom all men love.

Spotless, taking man's form, O Purifier, Thou art above the gunas three.
Knowledge divine, not flesh, Thou whom the cosmos wears, a diamond at its heart.




Let us look deep in Thine eyes; they are bright with the wisdom of God,
That can wake us from maya's spell.
Let us hold fast to Thy feet, treading the waves of the world to safety.
Oh, drunk with love, God-drunken Lover, in Thee all paths of all yogas meet.

Divine Mother Durga



Glory be to the Divine Mother Durga, remover of our distress and sorrow.

Glory be to Mother Kali, destroyer of all darkness and shame.
Glory be to the Goddess Uma, companion of Lord Brahma; 
Glory be to the incarnations of purity and love Sri Radha, Sri Sita, and Sri Rukmini.

Glory be to my spiritually compassion Mother Sri Sarada Devi, 
divine companion of Sri Ramakrishna, bestower of all knowledge and devotion.
I bow down, again and again, to the incarnations of Shiva and Shakti, 
embodiments of all peace and blessedness.
