Reflections

This is a deep devotional Konkani Bhajan dedicated to our Kuladevi Sri Mahalasa Narayani Devi. The prayer to Kuladevi Mahalasa Narayani is not just a family ritual but a deep act of surrender. It expresses the soul’s longing for forgiveness, protection, and grace across lifetimes. By repeating “Pahi mam Devi krupakari”, the devotee reinforces a child-like dependence on the Mother’s compassion.

This prayer also emphasizes seva — lifelong service at the divine feet — and humility in devotion. Importantly, it is not self-centered; the devotee prays for the welfare of all bhaktas, showing that true faith is inclusive. Worship of the Kuladevi binds generations together, reminding every family member of their roots, values, and divine protector who guides them through life’s journey.
