MANTRA
In the Vedas the mantra (sound) is the primary source from which the universe has sprung (in the Bible: "in the beginning it was the Verb"); it is the primordial vibration presents in every thing, the motor of the universe. Through the study and the search on the mantras the ancient wise man have discovered how we can be in harmony with the cosmos and with ourselves.
The \(Aum)
it is the primordial sound, is the matrix of all that exists in the universe. it
doesn't have a particular meaning, it is rather a sacred syllable that
represents the essence of the vital energy from which the creation has sprung. \
is the combination of three sounds: A - U - M. The A represents Brahma
the creator, the conscience, the state of vigil. The U represents Vishnu
the preserver, the subconscious, the state of dream. The M represents
Shiva the destroyer, the unconscious, the
state of deep sleep. It can be noticed as these three letters are tightly
correlated with the endless breath of the universe, in which the three strengths
of creation, preservation and destruction continually follow one another and how
they are correlated with the three dimensions of the human conscience.
The utilization of the sounds for spiritual purpose is universally used. In a
lot of religions the continuous repeating of a sentence or a sacred sound with
the help of a rosary (japa mala) represents the highest form of
meditation. The mantras are the best vehicle in the meditation because through
them the mind calms the incessant flow of thoughts and it settles in a state of
deep concentration.

Kleshaharanam II
O Maa Durga! I don't know any prayer or any magical summons to invoke you. Neither I know any mantra and have no idea how to meditate on you. I don't know your story or glory as well. I neither know your various postures nor am I given to crying in distress. The only thing I know is that seeking shelter under your protection and following your command will definitely end all sufferings.

Vidheyashakyatvattva Charanyorya Chyutirbhut I
Tadetat Kshantavyam Janani Sakaloddharini Shive Kuputro
Jayet Kwachidapi Kumata Na Bhavti II
O Durga, assure salvation to all troubled, I don't know how to worship you. I don't have resources or temperament since I am nasty by nature. I don't have special knowledge to conduct your worship as well. In rendering service to you if, I have made any mistakes or errors, forgive me Mother because there could be a bad son but never a bad mother.

Saralah Param Tesham Madhye Viralataraloaham Tava Sutah I
Madi Yoayam Tyagah Samuchitamidam No Taya Shive Kuputro
Kwachidapi Kumata Na Bhavati II
O Maa Durga, this earth has many of your naïve sons, but I am the most fickle among them. There would be hardly any one like me. Yet, O Shive! Rejecting me like this is not proper in this world, as there could be a bad son but never a bad mother.

Jayet Kwachidapi Kumata Na Bhavati II
O Mother of the World! I have never rendered any service to you. I never offered money to you. Yet, you bless me always for the reason that in this world there could be a bad son but never a bad mother.
Parittyakta Deva Vividhavidhisewa Kulataya
Maya Panchasheeteradhikamapneete Tu Vayasi I

Lambodar Janani Kam Yami Sharanam II
O Parvati, mother of Lord Ganesha, I had been busy restlessly. But now, I have stopped worshipping other gods as I cannot worship them ritually. Therefore, I don't even expect any help from them. In such a condition I am absolutely helpless. From whom I seek shelter? I have no hope from any other god except you.

Niratanko Ranko Viharati Chiram Kotikanakaih I
Tavaparne Karne Vishati Manvarne Phalamidam Janah Ko
Janeete Janani Japaneeyam Japvidhhau II
O Maa Aparna! One word of your holy prayer that falls in the ear of a foolish rascal is sufficient to make him utter sweet speech like an experienced scholar. With your blessing, a pauper then becomes rich owning millions of gold coins and enjoying life with all its joys till ripe old age. When listening to one word can work such wonders, who can presume the reward obtained by those, who continuously chant your name with full custom of worship.
Chitabhasmalepo Garalamashanam Dikpatdharo

Kapali Bhootesho Bhajati Jagdeeshai Ka Padavin Bhavani
Tvatpanigrahan Paripati Phal Midam II
O Durga Bhavani! The one, who keeps his body smeared with the ashes of the dead-bodies; who takes poison for food, who remains naked; who has matted hair on head and the serpent king Vasuki surrounding his neck; who has a cupal like container in his hands. If such a Bhootnath, Lord Shiva (Pashupati-Lord of Animals) is crowned with a title of Jagdeesh, then what is the reason behind it? How did he gain such importance? The clear evidence is your marriage with him.

O Maa Durga, with face of moon's elegance, I don't crave for Salvation or for material possessions. I don't even hope to get any expertise in sciences. I don't long for pleasure as well. My only request to you is to permit me to pass my entire life chanting "Mridani Rudrani Shiva-Shiva Bhavani".

Kripamuchitalam Param Tavaiva II
O Maa Shyama! I never worshipped you with complete rituals or lots of offerings. I was always occupied in harsh words, which crime did my speech not commit? Yet, if you care for this shelter less orphan on your own, this is eligible only for you. Only a kind hearted mother like you can give refuge to such a bad son, as I am.
Aapatsu Magnah Smaranam Tvadeeyam Karomi
Durge Karunarna Veshi I
Naitaccha Thatvam Mum Methah Kshudhartrisharta Jananim Smaranti II
O Compassionate Goddess Durga! If I remember you after falling in trouble and not before, please do not treat me like a dishonest rogue for the reason that all children yell for mother when they are troubled.
Jagdamb Vichitramatra Kim Paripoorna Karunaasti Chenmayi I
Aparadha Parampara Param Na Hi Mata Samupekshate Sutam
II
O Mother of the World! If you still show your kindness towards me should not cause any surprise for the reason, if a son has bent on committing sin after sin, still his mother does not abandon him.
Matsamah Palaki Nasti Papaghni Twatsama Na
Hi I
Evam Gyatva Mahadevi Yatha Yogyam Tatha Kuru II
O Maa Durga! I am the greatest sinner and you are the greatest sin-destroyer. Considering this fact in mind, kindly do whatever you think proper.
