I pray Mercury, who is like the bud of millet and who is gentle by nature and has great gentle looks.

Just like the Sun annihilates darkness, so does the Gayatri Mantra destroy ignorance. The Gayatri Mantra invokes the power and radiance of the Sun to energize all earthly life, to destroy our sins and to reveal the Supreme Self to us. Krishna in the Bhagvad Geeta says: " Amongst the Mantras, I am the Gayatri" In a loose translation that cannot possibly do justice to the original it implores: OM, O Lord! You are the all pervading Source of Light, Sustainer, Protector and Bestower of Happiness, Kindle, Enlighten and inspire our Intelligence to possess Eternal Qualities. Follows the verse in Sanskrit:
Om Bhur bhuvah svah Tat savitur varenyam Bhargo Devasya dheemahi Dheeyo yonah prachodayaat
The Gayatri Mantra is the essence of the three Vedas. It is the Vedas simplified. The more one contemplates and meditates upon the Gayatri, the more complexities are revealed to one.
An ode to the Mother Goddess, Durga, this chalisa, if chanted with faith, brings all sorts of blessing from Durga Maa to the devotee. Maa Durga is associated with the energies of life which is required for a good life. In the form of Lakshmi, she is abundance in all forms. She symbolizes the requirement of having a life of abundance. Abundant wealth, happiness and health. In the form of Saraswati, she symbolizes the arts and music. She symbolizes the synthesis of learning. In the form of Parvati, she symbolizes the role of a woman. As a mother, she fought with her husband for her son Ganesha. As a wife, she fought with her father for her husbands respect. I have always seen pictures of Parvati with Shiva and Ganesh, but never her picture alone, unlike Lakshmi and Saraswati. She symbolises the force that keeps a family together. In the form of Kali, she symbolizes the power of destruction. She symbolizes the destruction that is wrought when evil needs to be vanquished. And in Durga, she symbolizes all this and more. There are many forms of Durga, and I have but named a few. In essence, she is the feminine force of nature. Some feel that she is the prana of the universe, sustaining the worlds and the beings that live in it. I have read that she is God's own energy, and that the Lord is a part of her as much as she is a part of the Lord. In my own humble way, I have tried to explain this prayer to her in English, and if I have made any mistakes, please forgive me, as I know the Mother Goddess, forgives me, her child.
Namo namo Durge sukh karani, Namo namo Ambe dukh harani. Chant the name of Durga, the giver of happiness, Chant the name of Ambe, the destroyer of sadness.

Sri Pratyangira is a powerful Devi who is greatly spoken about in the Adharvana Veda - one of the four Vedas (namely - Rig, Yajur, Sama and Adharvana Vedas). She, who is always seated on a lion, is also known as Narasimhika [in Kalisahasranama Stotram]. Devi Pratyangira appears as a ferocious half human-half lion form with four hands [lower right hand holding the soolam/knife, lower left hand holding the abalam, upper right hand holding the damarugam (drum) and upper left hand holding the snake]. The powers generated from the Maha Pratyangira Moola Mantra Maala Mantra Homam will be transmitted into the Sri Mariamman Utsava Murthi. A significant feature of this Maha Homam, as mentioned in the Adharvana Veda, is that unsalted cooked Vada soaked in honey, lemons, spicy dried chillies, and ghee should be the primary offerings to the maha homam.
