Who is the Goddess ?

I am Devi, the goddess to this mortal mass

the divine mother to all, be the skies or grass

ever so malign in anger and benign in love

but no evil can through me make a pass.

I am Durga, this universe’s crowning creator 

Mahishasura slayer and the invincible warrior

on a roaring lion I sit, trinity and sword in hands

but for believers, I usher joy, being their liberator.

I am Saraswati, embodying the sanctity of a river

consort of Brahma the god, living away from all the glitter

with a pot, lute, bead necklace and a book in my hands

I keep spreading knowledge, culture and music forever.

I am Lakshmi, the queen of fortune and wealth

materialistic in nature but holier in breath

spouse to lord Vishnu, sitting on a lotus

I give life fulfillment, beauty and health.

I am Kali, the bearer of omnipotent power

devouring daemons blood and playing abolisher

with a garland of human skulls and a tiger skin

I epitomise the raging furious feminine destroyer.

I am one, the ultimate goddess

as a mother comforting you with happiness

being a wife, struggling with you in life’s arduousness

and a daughter giving you all heartiness.

Present all around us in all their humbleness

she is every woman, to be respected with all our humanness.
