Letters Of Love - Divine Devotion

My Prayers To Maa Gauri

I place the flowers,
In Front of Maa Gauri,
I close my eyes and join my hands,
With sincere devotion and utmost love.

"Glory to you, Mother!
Princess of the Mountains,
Daughter of the Himalayas,
Beloved of Lord Shankara."

"Glories to you, Maa Gauri,
Mother of Lord Ganesha,
And Lord Kartikeya,
Mother of the entire Universe."

"Your power, as strong as thunder,
Your love, as soft as silk,
You've no beginning and no end,
For you're the creator and the creation."

"You preserve, destroy and create,
I fall short of words to sing in your praises,
You're self sufficient, self knowledgeable, You're the Vedas themselves."

"The whole world sings in devotion,
You're the one who did extreme penance,
To marry your love, Lord Shiva,
Who can know love better than you, Mother?"

"You bestow boons and blessings,
To all your children,
You protect your devotees,
And keep them in your tender love and affection."

"In your service, Mother,
I graciously offer these flowers,
You know the deepest desires of every heart,
For you reside in each one's soul."

"Mother, please grant me your blessings,
You know my wish already,
Saying so out loud, will only make it obvious,
But you know very well whom I love."

And with this, I fold my hands in salutation,
And open my eyes to look at Her,
And it seems like, She smiles back,
Her garland falls over my hands and I touch it on my head.

I take it as a sign, and my heart grows calm,
Relief, for Janaki belongs to Shri Rama,
"Daughter Janaki, be rest assured,
You're destined to marry the man,
The idol of ideal, the ever empathetic one."

"He knows love, and understands it,
Just like you do, just like you dream,
He will respect you and treat you as an equal,
And love you till the end of time."

My heart knew no bounds, everflowing with happiness,
For this divine voice, confirmed my divine connection,
I am ready to enter a new phase of love,
With the garland in my hand, the sign of love.
