The 9-day Navaratri extolling, propitiating and glorifying Mother Goddess is drawing close to culminate with the arrival of Vijaya Dasami, the 10th day that marks the slaying of Mahishasura at the hands of Mother Durga, signifying the Victory Of Good Over Evil… Who can Fathom the glory of the Supreme Para Brahmam…the One without a second, from Whom the Adi Para Shakthi, manifested millions and zillions of Brahmands…,  the Trinities… He is SaiEaswari…our Beloved Mother Sai…let’s propitiate Beloved Bhagawan on this auspicious occasion of the culmination of Devi Navarathri, celebrating Vijaya Dasami. …a poem from Sri Jullie Chaudhuri.

Salutations…loving, loving salutations to Thee,
Oh! Divine Mother of the Universe…
…it is Your rose-tinged splendour that bathes the Cosmos…
…thence imbued, immersed, interspersed…
…in the tender tones of Your stirring compassion…
The brilliance of a zillion Suns…
…pales before the incomparable allure…
…of Thy magnificent radiance…
Abidingly expressing the affection and care of countless mothers…

The ethereal beauty of Thy limpid eyes…
…make lotus blooms blush with awe and humility…
Thy gestures emit the abundance of royal benevolence… 
…every bit in creation reflects Thy aesthetic eloquence…
…Oh! Mother, Oh! Sai Maa…
Oh! Mahishasura Mardhini…
Shower Thy immaculate mercy,
Allow me…allow me…allow me…
…to remain eternally enrapt in Thee…
For…
…in all that I see,
I witness solely Thy exquisite glory…

Dewdrops are Mother Nature’s tears of adoration,
Placed gently at Thy petal soft Lotus Feet…
Exotic flowers are fragrant offerings with reverence replete…
The chirping melody of birds…
…represent a worship that echoes the devoted rhythm…
…of each of her heartbeat,
With the roaring sound of thunder…
…and flashes of lightning…
Nature further applauds Thee,
And does Thee greet…
Then,
With the spectacular colours of sunrise and sunset…
She extols and celebrates Thy munificence…
…even as she…
…on behalf of each particle of creation,
…does Thee…
…beseech, plead…
…and entreatingly repeat -
Oh! Lalita Ambika…
Oh! Cosmic Empress…
Oh! Playful Mother of the Universe…
Wondrous are the names that laud Thy beauty,
Grandeur, magnitude and vastness…
Maa Durga, Maa Lakshmi, Maa Saraswati,
Oh! Manonmani…Oh! Transcendental Consciousness…
Kindly do us all bless…
Oh! Maha Shakti, Maha Tripura Sundari…
Oh! Thee…the Source of limitless verve and vitality…
Thee…Who is synonymous with enchanting beauty…
Oh! Jagadishwari, Maheshwari,
Mahishasura Mardhini…
…Grant glimpses of Thy exquisite Form…
…that inimitable graceful gait,
…captivatingly beauteous Eyes…
…precious, precious, precious Lotus Feet,
…fascinatingly charming profile…
…and that most treasured smile…

Oh! Shaila Sutey…Nandini…
Loving Daughter of the Himalayas…
Who grants great delight…
Oh! Shivamanamohini…
Oh! Shiva Priya…
Oh! Thee…the Beloved of the Beloved…
…most Beloved Soul of Lord Shiva…
Oh! Supreme Benefactress full of valour,
Slayer of ignorance and evil…
Oh! Ishwari, Bhagawati…
Mahishasura Mardhini…
Jaago, Jaago Maa Janani…
With our pleas we hope to awaken Thee…
…Thy pity…Thy clemency,
Everything seems incomplete without Thee,
Thy Presence we seek longingly…
…subtly clasping Thy sacrosanct Feet most fervently…
Oh! Mahishasura Mardhini…
Oh! Saieaswari…Vamakeshi…Ramya Karpardhini…
Oh! Thee…Saieashwari…with beautiful curly locks of hair…
The breeze as it wafts and caresses each rustling leaf…
…extols the glory of Thy holy Name…
…constantly…ceaselessly…
Oh! Taruni, Narayani…Mahishasura Mardhini…
Oh! Sathya Saieshwari…
Oh! Thee, the ever Youthful One…
Dearest Consort of Narayana…
Oh! Prabhavati…Anuttama…
Nityaklinna…Rajat Kripa…Svastimati…
Oh! Thee, the Self Effulgent One Who has none superior…
…Who is ever gloriously compassionate…
…granting blissful benedictions…
Oh! Bhaktanidhih…
Nikhileshwari…Mahiniya…
…Para Shakti…
Shubhkari…Saieshwari…
Oh! Cherished Treasure of those devout…
Sovereign Ruler of the worlds…
Oh! Thee, the most adorable Supreme Power…
…ecstatically joyous in blessing…
Oh! Beloved Mother Sai…
We pine, yearn, solely desire…
…and anxiously await sweet glimpses of Thee…

Oh! Brahmani… Lilavigraha Dharini…
Pranada…Pranrupini…Suveshadhya…
Oh! Thee…the Energy of the Creator…of Brahma…
…taking on the vestige of various Forms…
…for the sake of Thy Creative Play…
You are the Ultimate One Who bestows life…
…yet,
You signify life itself…
Oh! Thee…so full of poise…
…being gracefully attired…
Oh! Saieashwari…Priyankari…Avyaja Karunamurti…
Oh! Beloved Mother Sai…
Oh! Thee…Who does essentially grant,
What is dear to those devoted…
…keeping sync with the harmony of Your Essence…
…which symbolises a perennial shower of unconditional
Grace…
And so, unabashedly our sentiments do surface…
…we, Thy children make no pretense…
From Thee…we seek an extraordinarily specific boon…
…one…that asks for Thee…from Thee…
…intensely invoking Thee…
Thy ‘beauty beyond compare’ Presence…
No material benediction can surpass this hallowed courtesy…
Accept…acquiesce…accede…assent…
Endorse our proposal…
This is what we ask and request of Thee…
…unreservedly…persuasively… 
Even as we offer…
…wholehearted salutations during this auspicious Navaratri…
Oh! Mahishasura Mardhini…
Come…help us overcome the demons within…
Grant us Thee…
Oh! Beloved Saieashwari…
Such is the indulgence we crave of Thee…
