A Prayer to Mother Divine, Bhavani: these sacred sanskrit 8 Stanza prayers were written by Sri Aadi Shankaracharya, composed in a high state of devotion and bliss to uplift the devotees.
Translation
O Mother Divine!
Father, Mother, Husband, Wife, Children and Friends
none of these are eternally mine .
Knowledge, intellect, mind and will power are also not eternal.
O Mother of the universe- You are my only saviour, My eternal refuge
I have fallen in the ocean of birth and death, and I fear their sorrows.
I am trapped by my ego with its countless desires, greed, pride and lust.
O Mother of the universe- You are my only saviour, my eternal refuge.
O Mother of the universe - I do not know how to come close to you.
I do not know any form of worship. Help me,
O Mother Divine- You are my only saviour, my eternal refuge.
O Mother Divine- You are my only saviour, my eternal refuge.
I do not know how to be righteous or find your abode.
I do not know how to achieve freedom by dissolving my ego.
I am devoid and surrender. I am not strong enough to make any vow.
O Mother of the universe- You are my saviour, my eternal refuge
My mind is always engaged in worthless thoughts and actions.
My Intellect has become dull, enslaved by old habits.
I am unable to behave honourably and my intentions are unique.
My speech becomes harsh and hurting. Save me,
O Mother of the universe - You are my only saviour, my eternal refuge
I do not Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Indra, Surya and Chandra,
or any other divinities.
You are known for your compassion-
O Mother of the universe, You are my only saviour, my eternal refuge
O compassionate Mother, protect me wherever I am and with whomever I am
with in pleasure and in distress.
O Mother of the universe - You are my only saviour, my eternal refuge
O Mother, I feel like an orphan on this Earth,
powerless and without inner wealth, deluded by ignorance
and unable to see the light of truth.
O Mother of the universe - You are my only saviour, my eternal refuge
Jai Maa Bhavani
