Sri Chamundeshwari Devi - Chamundi Hills Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

Divine Mother Chamundeshwari Devi resides in this vicinity;
At the hills atop, sacred place in Mysore City;
Covered with lush green foliage clean and pretty;
Pious place with a Supreme Temple of divinity.


Slayed demon Mahishasura, taking the form of Chamundeshwari Devi right here;
Incarnation of Goddess Parvathi..Shakti the greater;
Hills named after the Goddess Chamundi.. the creator;
True Tutelary of Mysore and entire sphere.

Foothills are serene with rocky terrain presence;
Varieties of flora and fauna so rare..!
Natural ponds, butterflies, birds of the air;
Beautiful green canopy of exotic natural essence.

Ancient stone stairway of 1008 steps, feel of gratification;
Leading to the sacred main Hilltop;
Monolithic statue of bull Nandi, along the atop;
Truly a divine view of ethereal blessing and adoration.

Atop is the main hill, quadrangular structure good and great;
Threshold..oh beautiful with seven-tier pyramidal tower;
Divine Mother with Divine Power..!
Images, different forms of Goddess at the doorway is silver-plated.



Protecting against all harm;
Giving power, courage, confidence;
Knowledge to triumph the immoral with consciousness;
Victory of good over evil, powerful good luck charm;

Lucky to get your blessings, fulfilling my wishes upright;
My Goddess Chamundi.. the supreme power of the universe;
Shielding in all situations bad to worse;
Always with me, my guiding light...!
