Shakti Poem by Indira Renganathan

Shakti

Rating: 5.0


Justice of morals, armoured of valour
Ardent She the gracious gem
Frail our woes like ignescent cotton
Afire at Her anguish gaze
Vanquished of hate, hostility and enmity
O' people whole of globe
Acclaim surrendered surrendered acclaim
Shakthi Om shakthi Om Shakthi Om

Good and evil powers all Sakthi
Bestower yet plenty of boons
'Vanquished evil be o'er seven worlds'
Boom, boom o'Murase
'Sourceful power solely here behold'
So say, whoever they
Sanctified and salvaged to the Heaven
Om Shakthi Om Shakthi Om

Best but to trust is the way just best
This day we confide in
Pray, you chant Sakthi forever
I bow to you then my heart
Wary, torrid archery, poison, malady
Needless be afraid of
For everyone is rescued at Her feet
Om Shakthi Om Shakthi Om

O'Benefactress of rains and lushness
Praises we sing
Mother Parasakthi, hail and herald we
Weeding out our obstacles
Keep up your words o'heart
Pray, nothing else
More we now pursue
Shakthi Om Shakthi Om Shakthi Om

Mounted on white lily crowned is a persona
Heart of the vedas
Pristine, cultured Tamil Vaani, to you
Here's a plea from me
Not a second should go useless
That in my sppech
Out pour in force
Shakthi Om Shakthi Om, Shakthi Om

A wonderful song of Subramanya Bharathiar's song 'Nenjukku needhiyum' in Tamil beautifully translated by you into English, dear Indira Ma'm. May the powerful Shakti vanguish all hatred, anger, hostility and enmity. May Shakti protect us and shelter us from evil. Aum Shakti! A wonderful prayer that has to be honoured with all stars.
