As a result to requests I post the lyrics to Bhaktavatsale Devi here. They are of course very approximate. Writing Malayalam with roman letters and without proper transliteration codes is only indicative of the correct pronunciation. Anyhow as Amma says, if the child does not know how to intone \u201cmother\u201d correctly, it does not mean that she will not respond. Singing along with a recording of Amma singing this song is good way to familiarize oneself with the song.<\/p>\n
Bhaktavatsale Devi Ambike Manohari
\nBhakta janartti tirppan shaktayayimevum devi –<\/p>\n
O Devi, O Ambika, Beauty Personified, O Thou Who art
\nAffectionate towards devotees, may Thou dwell here in order to
\nEnd the sufferings of devotees!<\/p>\n
Matavayatum niye tatanayatum niye
\nMatula bhratakkalum gurunathayum niye<\/p>\n
Thou alone hast become the Mother, Father, Uncle, Elders and Guru<\/p>\n
Ennall ikkanunna sarvvayum niyanennu
\nEnnute guru arul cheytatorttirunnu nyan<\/p>\n
Not only that… I have sat listening to my Guru who says that
\nThou art, in fact, everything that is seen<\/p>\n
Ni tanne sarvvasvam en dinata tirppan shakta
\nNi tanne ellattilum naraya verayatum<\/p>\n
Thou art everything, powerful enough to end my misery, the tap root of all<\/p>\n

Did some mistake happen on my part or is it that Thou hast no mind to end my sorrow?<\/p>\n
Ennakakkambu ventu vennirakatte enno
\nOnnume ariyate sambhrantayakunnu nyan<\/p>\n
Or perhaps Thou wishest that my inner self get burnt to ash.
\nI am getting confused\u2026I know nothing<\/p>\n

\nDinavatsala yallo niyamme mahamaye<\/p>\n
O Mother, The Great Illusion, art Thou compassionate to the afflicted,

Will the truth which I keep in my heart, that all the children are equal to the Mother, become false?<\/p>\n

In order to end my misery, I will request a little of the nectar of Thy grace pouring from the glance of thy holy eyes<\/p>\n

I will fall at Thy feet in order to see Thy gracious face and beg for the boon of the fulfillment of life<\/p>\n
