Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Jagathjanani
Victory to You! Oh! Jagathjanani/who is the mother of the Universe and its living
and non-living things, Oh! Devi, you are worshiped by Deva, Asura, and
Munigana, you are the provider of Bhukthi and Mukthi, Oh! Devi Kalika, you are
the destroyer of fears and anxieties of worldly existence, you symbolize
Siddhi and all kinds of auspiciousness, you are stunningly gorgeous, your face
resembles the full moon, Oh! Devi, you are the destroyer of
Thrividhapapa/Adhyathmika, Adhibhauthika, and Adhidevika Thapa, you would vanquish
these Thapa, like the scorching sun rays in the afternoon remove the darkness. You
are wielded in a protective shield, you are holding sword and shield, Thrishool,
spear, Dhanusha and Bana, you are the destroyer of Dhanavas, you would assume
extremely ferocious form in the battlefields, you are the destroyer of all the
evil spirits, Oh! Shive, Victory to you! Oh! Devi you have endless forms and
names, you are the supreme Goddess of the Universe, Oh! Himachalakanyake, you
are the protector of the Jeeva who has taken shelter at your lotus feet. Oh! Devi,
I am Tulasidas yearning to attain intense devotion and faith at the lotus feet
of Lord Sri Raghunatha, kindly bless me and protect me.”
Ganga Sthuthi –
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Victory to
Bhageerthanandhini who is the daughter of King Bhageeratha, Hail Gange! Hail
Gange! Hail Gange! You are full moon to the Chakora like the crowd of Munigana,
Oh! Devi, you are worshiped by deities, Naga/mountains, and humans, Oh!
Jahnuputhri who is the daughter of Sage Jahnu, Victory to You! Oh! Devi, you have
descended from the lotus feet of Lord Vishnu, you have taken shelter on the attractive
brownish-red matted hair locks of Lord Shiva. Oh! Devi, you are streaming through
the Triloka/Swarga, Bhoomi, and Pataloka. You symbolize piousness, you destroy
the impurities of the Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, and Mathshcharya, interest in
worldly matters, and bondage in the worshiper. You are the destroyer of all the
grave sins. You have incarnated as a sacred watercourse that removes the
Thrividha Papa of the worshiper and purifies the souls. Your powerful and
lustrous water currents give out a marvelous appearance, and the worshiper offers
lamps and flowers of fresh alluring and rich fragrant on your stunning water
that are capable to destroy the vicious cycles of rebirth, and resemble
Kalpavruksha that fulfills all the desires of the worshiper, and enhances
Bhakti, Gnana, Vairagya and bliss in the worshiper. You are the protector of
the creatures, /Jalachara, Thalachara, Pashu, Pahang, Keeta, and Jatadhari
Tapasvis who have taken shelter at your riverbank. Oh! Gange, you are Kalika,
you are the destroyer of Moharoopi Mahishasura of worldly existence. Oh! Devi kindly blesses me with pure intelligence and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord
Raghunatha, and merrily move along on your riverbank.”
