about

Moving into the body of the prayers in the Durgā Stutiḥ, we were blessed by some of our favorite long-time collaborators in this offering, including the great cellist Jami Sieber, the exquisite vocals of Tina Malia, Todd Boston’s incredible guitar, the wonderful LA bassist Jared May, and Grammy winner Steve Gorn’s bamboo flute.

lyrics

Yā Devī Sarvabhūteshu (to the Goddess who is present in all beings as) ...
Vishṇumāyeti Shabditā (Vishnu Maya)
Chetanetyabhidhīyate (Consciousness)
Buddhirūpeṇa Sansthitā (Wisdom)
Shaktirūpeṇa Sansthitā (Energy)
Kshāntirūpeṇa Sansthitā (Forgiveness)
Shāntirūpeṇa Sansthitā (Peace)
Shraddhārūpeṇa Sansthitā (Faith)
Lakshmīrūpeṇa Sansthitā (Abundance)
Dayārūpeṇa Sansthitā (Compassion)
Tushṭirūpeṇa Sansthitā (Happiness)
Mātṛrūpeṇa Sansthitā (Mother)

Namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ

Translation:
I bow again and again in reverence to the goddess.

Ending:
Indriyāṇāmadhishṭhātrī bhūtānaṁ chākileshu yā
Bhūteshu satataṁ tasyai vyāpti devyai namo namaḥ

Translation:
I bow again and again in reverence to the goddess who is the ruler of all the senses of all beings and is ever present in them.

Chittirūpeṇa yā kṛtsnam-etad-vyāpya sthitā jagat
Namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ

Translation:
I bow again and again in reverence to the goddess who pervades the entire universe in the form of consciousness and abides in the supreme state as Pure Consciousness.
