An Ode To Names Of Mother Goddess Poem by Savita Tyagi

Nav- durga (Part I)

Nine ancient names of Mother Goddess,
So mesmerizing in its melodious rendering.

Some intense emotions and reverence is invoked
simply by its poetic composition and sound vibration.

Beyond my grasp is the full meaning,
Of these melodious, unforgettable verses.
Wandering at the corridors of my mind
I dwell on it's poetic charm day and night.

By some mysterious processes
Each name starts to reveal
It's meaning and a deeper connection
To cosmic workings,
And to our own self.
Awe-struck I am!

In six lines, eight of these names are paired in set of two.
Look at the duality of the Cosmic forces,
And at our physical and psychological energies
Working in pairs!
Pairs that seem to work as opposites,
Yet create and sustain a symphony
Of Life cycle!

The ninth name stands alone as the bestower of grace,
Both in Macrocosm and Microcosm!
