Jai Sri Durga : Glory to Goddess Durga

To her who presides over the elements 

and the senses and is ever present in all beings, 

to the all-pervading Devi, salutations again and again.

To her who pervades this entire world 

and abides in the form of consciousness, 

salutation to her, salutation to her, 

salutation to her, again and again.

(DM 5.77-80)

As is well known, sound has great power over matter. By using sound it is possible to cause geometric patterns to form on sand and also cause objects to be shattered. How much more powerful, then, must be the impact of this force on the vibrating living substance of our sensitive human bodies. Scientists know that sound vibration is processed in the same area of the brain that deals with feelings and emotions, thus proving music's therapeutic potential. Used by clinicians to alleviate pain, boost immunity and lower pulse rates in hospitals, harmonic sounds can revitalize and strengthen the body and soul. Today modern society has become increasingly convinced of the therapeutic benefits of food prepared with love and positive thought vibrations. Let us make use of mantras, prasad, holy sites, relics of saints and soothing musical tones to calibrate and heal, through resonate power, the remotest reaches of the human psyche.

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

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.
