Hymn to Durga - Sri Aurobindo

AN INVOCATION TO THE GODDESS OF STRENGTH, WISDOM & COURAGE

Mother Durga! Rider on the lion, giver of all strength, Mother, beloved of Siva! We, born from thy parts of Power, we the youth of India, are seated here in thy temple.  Listen, O Mother, descend upon earth, make thyself manifest in this land of India.

Mother Durga! From age to age, in life after life, we come down into the human body, do thy work and return to the Home of Delight.  Now too we are born, dedicated to thy work.  Listen, O Mother, descend upon earth, come to our help.
