||Aum Twameva Sakshat Shri Nirmala Naaradam Sakshat Shri Adi Shakti Mataji Shri Nirmala Devyai Namo Namah ||

This world bows eternally to Devarishi Naarad, whose Divinity is filled with the pureness of winds & rain. O, Beloved Son of Brahma, You are the One who walks forever. In Your glance the Joy of the Almighty exists, and in Your Sight, nothing can be seen but the smile of the One who rules Your Heart.

As Devotee, You carry white flowers to Your Lord. And those flowers are sweetly strung upon Your own garland. White, the color of Your Mother, adorns You, and You wear Her Spring buds as a child dons his Mother's close. It is only with the moonlit touch of Hers - the flowers wither not.

As Guru, You spread Naad across the mantle of the Universe. And its Purity You hold tight to Your Heart in the beautiful form of the Taanpura that cradles the Union of Shiva & Shakti in its strings. You are the wind of inspiration whose sweep plays with the flames of our Spirits, awakening all devotion & the Light of Truth.

Steps of Your holy Feet awaken the Earth to Her own Purity, for within every heartbeat of Your Heart dances the Power of Shri Narayana. The blessed dust of Your Feet give humanity the words of Ananya & Bhakti. Complete in the life-giving Name of Your Lord, You have allowed Your existence to become an instrument. Hence, You are the instrument of Your Mother & Father. Shri Brahmadeva - Your wisdom, Shri Saraswati - Your auspiciousness. And Shri Saraswati's Power flows through You.

It is verily Your music, O True Embodiment of Devotion, that keeps beauty's reign both within & without the boundaries of words.

Amen
