🌸 English Meaning:

O Mother of the Universe, Divine Bhavani,
You are the eternal energy, the cosmic Durga, Mother of all beings.

You are the benevolent Kalyani, the compassionate Shyamala,
The mother who blesses the sons Kumara and Ganesha.
O Durga, bestower of boons, O gracious mother,
You are Uma, the beloved of Maheshwara,
And Kalavati, the embodiment of divine art and beauty. ||1||

🪔 Reflection:

This simple yet profound Kannada hymn invokes the universal mother—Jagadambe Devi Bhavani, the source and sustenance of all life. The song blends tenderness with majesty, portraying Durga not merely as a warrior goddess but as the compassionate mother who nourishes, protects, and uplifts. The mention of Kumara and Gananatha ties her to the divine family of Shiva, revealing her nurturing role even within divinity. Each name—Bhavani, Kalyani, Uma, Kalavati—unfolds an aspect of her infinite nature, moving from power to grace, from art to compassion.

Historically, such devotional songs arose from temple traditions and village rituals in South India, sung during Navaratri and Shakti pujas. They celebrate the eternal feminine power that underlies creation. Listening to this bhajan, one feels the serenity of surrender. It reminds us that divine strength is never separate from love. When we invoke the Mother within, fear dissolves and faith flowers—because in her embrace, the world becomes one family, and every heart finds peace. 🌺
