(Simple) Prayers to Maa Ambe - Post Your Own

[c.smith]

Maa

Please grant me love and devotion for thee - may I be worthy of being thy devotee.

Jai Maa!

[Yogkriya]

Short, simple, sincere, beautiful.

[c.smith]

Maa,

You have my unfailing love and devotion. You know my needs more than I do. Please free me from the bonds of maya. May I ever be your willing servant! Grant me your blessings.

Jai Maa!

Does anyone know if there is a specific bija mantra for Ambe? I know the one for Durga Maa. Does that cover all bases?

Not having much luck with my searches on the net.

I have one very simple stotra for Durga to say in the morning right after you wake up:

प्रातः स्मरामि शरदिन्दुकरोज्ज्वलाभां।
सद्रत्नवन्मकरकुण्डलहारभूषाम्॥
दिव्यायुधोर्जितसुनीलसहस्रहस्तां।
रक्तोत्पलाभचरणां भवतीं परेशाम्॥

prātaḥ smarāmi śaradindukarojjvalābhāṁ|
sadratnavanmakarakuṇḍalahārabhūṣām||
divyāyudhorjitasunīlasahasrahastāṁ|
raktotpalābhacaraṇāṁ bhavatīṁ pareśām||

प्रातर्नमामि महिषासुरचण्डमुण्ड-
शुम्भासुरप्रमुखदैत्यविनाशदक्षाम्।
ब्रह्मेन्द्ररुद्रमुनिमोहनशीललीलां
चण्डीं समस्तसुरमूर्तिमनेकरूपाम्॥

prātarnamāmi mahiṣāsuracaṇḍamuṇḍa-
śumbhāsurapramukhadaityavināśadakṣām|
brahmendrarudramunimohanaśīlalīlāṁ
caṇḍīṁ samastasuramūrtimanekarūpām||

प्रातर्भजामि भजतामभिलाषदात्रीम्
धात्रीम् समस्तजगतां दुरितापहन्त्रीम्।
संसारबन्धनविमोचनहेतुभूतां
मायां परां समधिगम्य परस्य विष्णोः॥

prātarbhajāmi bhajatāmabhilāṣadātrīm
dhātrīm samastajagatāṁ duritāpahantrīm|
saṁsārabandhanavimocanahetubhūtāṁ
māyāṁ parāṁ samadhigamya parasya viṣṇoḥ||

Namaste Sahasranama,

Do you know the name of the stotra you have given? Also, is there an English translation somewhere I could have a look at?

C.Smith, I haven't been able to find a bija mantra for Amba. I assume She and Durga will share the same seed sounds. I did find this lovely gem though:

Om Ambe Ambike Ambalike na
Manayati kashchana
Sasatyashwakah subhadrikam
Kampilvasinim

Om namah Shivaya

[Sahasranama]

This is named the bhagavati stuti and also known as prata naman stotra. I do not have the translation.

[sunyata07]

Thanks anyway.

Namaste.

I could find an audio of it, but the pronunciation is not very good: http://www.shreemaa.org/movies/Movie...ti%20Stuti.mp3
