[bijoycm]

can anyone give the meaning/ eglish version of this hymn in brief.....pls

[volkerwanderung]

In this material world, neither father, nor mother, neither relatives nor helpers, neither son nor daughter, neither husband nor wife, neither scriptural wisdom nor professional knowledge - are mine. Therefore, O Mother of the universe! O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva! You alone are my eternal Refuge !! That's the first verse...and pretty much sum it up. What you are is the unborn nature.

I bought the sacred chants of Shiva tape in Delhi and listened to it all over India. Especially on long train journeys. This track is probably my favourite. It's also the best Bhavanyastakam that I've heard - many of the modern versions are much faster and lose the intense tranquility that this imparts.

I think it's a chant about understanding that the physical world is an illusion, and that only the Goddess is real. So it's about renunciation and acceptance.

@darkasnac Instead, the material world is very real, but our perception of the world creates the illusion that things are divided and separate, when in fact all things are connected. The numerological significance of Maya (the Goddess of Illusion) is 2, for the illusion of 1 and 1 equaling 2 assumes that one and one are not one in the same.

[Silasbenjamin]

@darkasnac I wouldn't exactly say that. In one story, Shiva destroys all the material things, frustrated with the material world, and the people begin to starve. Parvati, his wife, incarnates as Annapurna to feed the people. Shiva comes begging to her with a skull bowl for alms and says: "Now I see that the material world, just as the spirit, cannot be dismissed as an illusion." The illusion (Maya) is not the material world.
