Meaning of Garba

'Ma'  is the 'Garbha' (Womb) from where the Universe manifests. The word 'Garba' stems from 'Garbha' and symbolises the 'Dance of Creation' Mother holds us in her arms when we feel dejected, gives us various gifts from time to time, but admonishes us when we cross our line.

Vishvambhari Stuti

This hymn is sung usually after performing Mataji's Arti or before the starting playing Garba. This beautiful hymn was written in Gujarati by an unknown poet.

It asks Mataji to protect you.  By singing this hymn with devotion and love, you can overcome your worries and fears by admitting your faults to our Maa

 

Mataji's Stuti

Vishvambhari akhil vishwa tani janeta, 

Vidhya dhari vadanma vasajo vidhata;

Door-budhhine door kari sad-buddhi apo, 

Maampaahi Om Bhagavati Bhava dukha kapo.

Bhulo padi bhavarane bhataku Bhavani, 

Suzhe nahi lagir koi disha javani;

Bhaase bhayankar vali man na utapo, 

Maampaahi Om Bhagavati Bhava dukha kapo.

 

  Aa rankne ugarava nathi koi aaro, 

Janmaand chhu Janani hu grahi bai taro;

Naa shu suno tripuswari shishu naa vilapo, 

Maampaahi Om Bhagavati Bhava dukha kapo.

Maa karma janma kathni karta vicharu, 

Aa shrishtima tuj vina nathi koi maru;

Kone kahu katthan yog tano balaapo, 

Maampaahi Om Bhagavati Bhava dukha kapo.

Hoon kaam, krodh, madh moh thaki chhakelo,

Aadambare ati ghano madthi bakelo;

dosho thaki dushit na kari maaf paapo,

Maampaahi Om Bhagavati Bhava dukha kapo.

 

  Naa shaashtrana shravan nu paipaan kidhu, 

naa mantra ke stuti katha nathi kai kidhu;

Shradhha dhari nathi karya tav naam jaapo, 

Maampaahi Om Bhagavati Bhava dukha kapo.

Re re Bhavani bahu bhool thayi je mari, 

Aa zindagi thai mane atishe akaari;

Dosho prajaali sagara tava chhaap chhapo, 

Maampaahi Om Bhagavathi Bhava dukha kapo

Khaali na koi sthal chhe vina aap dharo, 

Bhrahmandma anu-vanu  mahi vaas taro;

Shakti na maap ganava agneeta mapo, 

Maampaahi Om Bhagavati Bhava dukha kapo.

  

Paape prapanch karva badhi vaate puro, 

Khoto kharo Bhagwathi pann hoon tamaro;

Jadyandhakaar door kari sad-budhhi aapo, 

Maampaahi Om Bhagavati Bhava dukha kapo.

 

 

Sheekhe sune Rasik Chandaj ekk chitte, 

Tena thaki trivividhh taap talek khachite;

Vadhe vishesh vali Amba tana prataapo, 

Maampaahi Om Bhagavathi Bhava dukha kapo

 

Shri sad-guru na charanma rahine ye ju chhu, 

Raatri dine Bhagwathi tujne namu chhu;

Sad-bhakt sevak tana paritaap chaapo, 

Maampaahi Om Bhagavathi Bhava dukha kapo

 

  Antar vishe adhik urmi thata Bhavani, 

Gaun stuti tava bale namine mrugaani;

Sansaarna sakal rog samoola kapo, 

Maampaahi Om Bhagavati Bhava dukha kapo.
 Maampaahi Om Bhagavati Bhava dukha kapo

The one who resides within me in the form of knowledge;

Destroy the ignorance that exists,

This man does not have a clue how to succeed, 

I'm an earthling of which you are my only mother;

Hear the cries of this child,

And in this world I have no one other than you;

I haven't read the scriptures nor have I listened to them being recited 

I haven't sung your hymns or read about your reality;

Surrender O mother in the form of 'aum' destroy all the pains that exist.

 

Oh Oh Mother I have made so many mistakes,

I feel my life is worthless;

Take me to the right path before I err again,

There is no such place in which you do not reside, 

You are omnipotent and omnipresent in the whole universe;

There is no way one can understand your everlasting power,

Before I sin again, please tell me,

I'm an ignorant child but still I'm yours;

Make me realize the mistakes I have made,

a glowing light of knowlege in the darkness, 

Surrender O mother in the form of 'aum' destroy all the pains that exist.

 

Whoever listens and learns your hymns with dedication and a constant mind

May their fears and worries burn away;

One who awakens realises and experiences your love,

Surrender O mother in the form of 'aum' destroy all the pains that exist.

 

I am meditating on you at the feet of my spiritual guider, 

Day and night I recite your name;

Accept me as your true disciple and take me, 

Surrender O mother in the form of 'aum' destroy all the pains that exist.

 

I am so attached to this body O mother,

When I sing your hymns I bend and bow down to you;

Destroy all the roots of the pains that exist,

Surrender O mother in the form of 'aum' destroy all the pains that exist

I bow to that camphor-hued, white complexioned (Lord Shiva), who is Incarnation of compassion,

Who is the very essence of (consciousness; the Knowing principle) of life (of the embodied soul);

Who wears snakes as garlands, whose eternal abode is in the heart of the devotee,

I bow to Him (Lord Shiva) and His consort Bhavaani (Uma or Parvati).

Auspicious is Lord Vishnu;
Auspicious is He whose flag bears the emblem of Garuda;
Auspicious is He who is lotus-eyed;
Hari is the abode of auspiciousness

 

O the most auspicious among those that are auspicious!
O the one that grants the fulfillment of all prayers!
O the one refuge of all!To Thee (Lord Siva and to Thy consort (Parvati), (known also as) Trayambaka (three eyed) and Gauri;

To Thee, O Narayani, our salutations!

 

You are my mother and you are my father, 

You are my friend and you are my brother.

You are all my knowledge and power (wealth) and

You are God of Gods and you are everything to me.

 

Whatever I do with my body, speech,

mind and senses; by my intellect, self or nature, 

all these I offer unto

the Supreme Lord Narayana

 

 

Auspicious is Lord Vishnu

He with the eagle-emblemed flag

With eyes of white lotus,

He who is the sacred place itself

 

Oh Gauri Ma!, consort of Lord Shiva,
You, who bestow auspiciousness on all,
And fulfill everyone's' wishes,
I prostrate myself before Thee,
Take me under your care.
