The meaning
Oh great goddess, I commit thousands of offences routinely,
So please think me as your slave and please pardon me. 1
I do not how to invoke you, nor do I know how do send you away,
And I also do not know how to worship you, and please pardon me. 2
I do not know chants or holy action or devotion, Oh God of the devas,
And so whatever worship I do, please make it complete. 3
If one calls you, Mother of the universe and commits hundred mistakes,
Still you look after his salvation, and this cannot be done by Brahma and other
devas. 4
Page | 24
Oh mother of the universe , having committed several mistakes I seek your refuge,
And please decide on the fate of this shivering one according to your wishes. 5
Oh great goddess I have done all this due to ignorance and wayward thoughts,
And so excuse them all and be pleased with me. 6
Oh Goddess of love, Oh mother of the world, Oh source of eternal happiness,
Please accept my worship and with love become pleased with me. 7
Oh goddess who is secret of secrets, Please accept the chanting done by me,
And make me powerful, through your grace, Oh Goddess of the devas. 8
In Roman Alphabets
Aparadha sahasrani kriyanthe aaharnisam maya,

Manthraheenam, kriyaheenam, Bhakthiheenam , Sureswari,
Yath poojitham maya devi paripoornam thadasthuthe. 3
Aaparadha satham kruthwa jagadambethi cho ucharath,
Yaam gathim samvapnothe na thaam brahmadaya suraa. 4
Saparadhosmi saranam prathasthvam jagadambike,
Idhanee manu kampyoham Yadecchasi thada kuru. 5
Agnana smrutherbranthya yanyoonam adhikam krutham.
Thath sarva kshamyadham devi praseedha parameshwari. 6
Kameshwari jaganmatha sachidananda vigrahe,
Grahanarchameemam preethya praseeda parameshwari. 7
Guhyadhi guhya gopthri grahana asmad krutham japam,
Sidhir bhavathu mey devi thwat prasadath sureshwari. 8

The Rigveda says: Pavakah Nah Sarasvati Vajibhir Vajinivati. Yajnyanam Vashtu Dhiya Vasu
(1-131). The translation runs as: Saraswati- Sharada purifies the person who comes close to her.
She bestows knowledge, strength, prospereity and intellect to the devotees. May she help us to
propitiate the Devas in the Vedic Yajnyas/ fire offerings! The Rig Veda says: O Saraswati ! You
are the very strength of Motherhood. You are Divine and the most learned one. We can not
understand the Divine impression, without your compassion and grace. O Mother! You lead us to
perfection in our obligation to the Devatas!
R.V. 2-41-16Y
O Saraswati! You are yourself the most glorious Goddess . You bless us with your glorious looks
. You grant strength and valor to the brave. You enhance our intellect grants. O Sharada! You are
without any trace of ignorance. You accompany the wise in accomplishing the noble deeds.
RV 6-49-7
O Sharade! Give us strength, courage and bless us for performing the good and noble deeds, to
make humanity nobler and wiser.
R V 2-95-2
Sharada Devi is the Presiding Devi of Kashmir. Since Sharada. Devi is the VAK of the Vedas,
therefore, she is revered as the Saraswati of the Puranas. Her presence is in the manifestation of
the Eternal sound known as Shabda Brahman of the Upanishads and Nada of the Agamas and
Tantras. Sharada is the Divine consciousness, higher than the five sheaths or coverings, as
referred to in the Vedanta. Sharada is the Paripakvata/total emancipation of the human being,
where awareness is considered at the Chaitanya. Thus the human being considers Etad SatyamTadaiva Satyam, in his own existence. It reflects that nothing is illusion, but appearance of
illusion is in itself the manifestation of That real. Sharada is not the symbol but the name of
Pranava, manifest in AUM. Various are the names of the Sharada, and Sharada Sahsranama
Page | 50
speaks the glory of Shri Sharada with One Thousand Names. It is the Agamic approach to adore
the Sharada Devi. In the Markandeya Purana, Sharada is adored as:
Mahavidya Mahavani Bharati Vak Saraswati,
Arya Brahmi Kamadhenu Vedagarbha Cha Dhishwari
Pradhanik Rahasya16
Akshamala Ankusha Dhara Vina Pustaka Dharini
Pradhanik Rahasya 15
She is the excellent Mother, possessing in her hands the garland of Rudraksha beads, goad, Vina
and the fourVedas in her hands. These names have been given by Mahalakshmi to Sharada Devi.

Acknowledgments
This document is actually the combined effort of all the ladies of the Canton,
Michigan (USA) Navarathri group who have been hosting the Navarathri
celebrations over the last several years in their homes each season. My sincere
and grateful thanks to all of them.
I would also like to thank Smt. Janaki Mahadevan and Sriman Lakshmi
Narasimhan for proof reading my Devanagari rendition of the Purandara
dasas divine Kannada composition (Bhagyada Lakshmi baarammaa) which is
sung by all during the Navarathri poojas and on many other occasions as well.
Let us all be showered by the blessings of Devi, as Purandara dasa extols in his
immortal song. As the Navarathri season progresses, I look forward to adding
some photos of the lovely Canton group to updates of this document.
