Shri Kali Stotra

ॐ अचिंत्यामिताकार शक्ति स्वरूपा प्रतिव्यक्तव्यधिष्टान सत्वैक मूर्ति:।
गुणातीत निर्द्वन्द्वबोधैकगम्या त्वमेका परंबह्मरूपेण सिद्धा ॥१
Hey goddess Kali! Your starnge powers and strength cannot be compared to any. You are present in each one in your true form.  You are away from the three Guna’s, achieved through specific knowledge and resides in the Brahma.

अगोत्रा कृतित्वादनैकान्तिकत्वा दलक्ष्यागमत्वाद शेषाकर त्वात् ।
प्रपंचालसत्वादना रम्भकत्वात् त्वमेका परंबह्मरूपेण सिद्धा ॥२

You do not belong to any religion or community. You are in many forms. You are unstoppable and that is why nobody or nothing can with overcome your speed. You are not required in stage of the world. You are on the whole, the creator, caretaker and destroyer of the world.

यदा नैवघाता न विष्णुर्नरुद्रो न काली न वा पंचभूतानिनाशा ।
तदा कारणीभूत सत्वैक मूर्ति त्वमेका परंबह्मरूपेण सिद्धा ॥३

When Lords Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Kaal, Panchabhoot and Dik were not there, you were the much before them serving their purpose. You are the only one in the Brahma with a distinctive power.

You are indescribable. Kaal, Tark, Sankhya Yog, Vedant,  Veda and Devtagon are unsuccessful in describing you.

न तो नामगोत्रे न ते जन्म मृत्यु न ते धाम चेष्टे न ते दुख सोख्ये ।
न ते मित्र शत्रु न ते बन्ध मोक्षौ त्वमेका परंबह्मरूपेण सिद्धा ॥५

Hey Goddess! Neither you have a name, not any Gotra (caste), not birth, nor death. Neither you havea house nor a Ghaat ( Place). Neither you have any desire nor any sorrow. You do not have happiness. You neither have a friend not an enemy nor Moksha.  I pay my devotion to you.

न बाला न च त्वं वयस्था न वृद्धा न च स्यदिषष्ठ पुमान्नैव च त्वम् ।
न व त्वं सुरो नासुरो नो नरो वा त्वमेका परंबह्मरूपेण सिद्धा ॥६

Goddess! You are neither a child, nor an adult, not an old, not a young, not a female, not a male. Neither any devta, not an evil and you are not a human also. You are present in the Brahma itself.

O Goddess! Once when Lord Mahadev drank poison and the works/tasks that we did for the progress of the world were done to make you happy. He did not do it for selfish reasons.

जगत्पालनाया सुराणाम् बंधाय त्वमेका परंबह्मरूपेण सिद्धा ॥ ९

O Devi! You always have weapons in your hands to kill the devils and negative forces and work as a caretaker. You are the destroyer of Rakshas ( Devil). You are present in the entire Brahma.

नटन्ती पतन्ती चलंती हसंती त्वमेका परंबह्मरूपेण सिद्धा ॥१०

Hey Kalika! You are the one to talk to Shivmurti, possessor of Kapaal, destroyer of the enemies of Lords, always remain happy, dancing and smiling always. You are in the Brahma.

आपादापिवताधिकं धावसित्व श्रुतिभ्याम् विहिनामि शब्द श्रृणोसि ।
अनासापिजिध्रस्य नेत्रापि पश्य स्वजिह्वापि नानारसास्वाद विज्ञा ॥११

Hey Dayamayi! You do not have feet but still run much faster that air also. You are deaf, but still you can hear the prayers of your devotees. You cannot smell but still can smell the fragrance of objects. You are blind, but still keep an eye on all. You do not a tongue, but still can taste all types of food.

यथा भ्रामयित्वा मृद चक्र कुलाली बिद्यते शरावं घटं च ।
महामोह यंत्रेषु भूतान्य शेषान् तथा मानुषास्त्वं सृत्रस्यादि सर्गे ॥१२

यथा रंगरज्वर्कदृष्टिष्व कस्मान्नृणां रूपदर्वी कराम्बुभ्रम: स्यात् ।
जगत्यत्र तत्तन्मये तद्वदेव त्वमेकैव तत्तन्नितत्तौ समस्तम् ॥१३

Hey Sarva Vidyamayi ( creator of Knowledge)! The way the human body reflects silver. Rope reflects snake and sunrays reflects the water, similarly you are the only one in the world which gives the reflection of every object or ingredient. After all this also, you are the most supreme.

महाज्योति एका संहासनम् वत् त्वकीयान् सुरान वाहयस्युग्रमूर्ते ।
अवष्टभ्य पदभ्याम् शिवं भैरवं च स्थिता तेन मध्ये भवत्येव मुख्या ॥१४

Hey Aaporva Roopani ( beautiful) ! You provide devatas with utmost position and power. When angry, you supress Lord Shiva and Lord Bhairav underneath.

कुयोग आसने योग मुद्राभिनीति: कुगोसायु पोतस्य वालाननं च ।
जगन्मातरादृक तवा पूर्वलीला कथं कारमस्मद्विधैर्देवि गम्या ॥१५

Hey Goddess! Your beauty lies in your images ( sitting on a dead body and wearing a necklace of skulls around her neck etc.) I can not understand this beauty of yours and none can.

महाघोर कालानल ज्वाल ज्वाल सित्यत्यंतवासा महाट्टाहासा ।
जटाभार काला महामुण्ड माला विशाला त्वमहित मयाध्यायशSम्ब ॥१६

Hey Amba! You are the main component in the middle of the branch of Mahaghor Kalaanal as a Jatadharini ( one with long hair). Black in colour with a mala of skulls looks powerful. I pay my devotion to you.

तपोनैव कुर्वन् वपु: सदयामि ब्रजन्नापि तीर्थ पदे खंजयामि ।
पटठन्नापि वेदान् चनि यापयामि त्वदंघ्रिद्वयं मंगल साधयामि ॥१७

Hey Goddess! I do not want to devote/ finish my body in worship. Neither do I want to paralyse my legs by roaming/visiting Teeth (Pieus) places nor do I want to end my life in the knowledge if Vedas. I only want to perform my services for you and at your feet.

तिरस्कुर्वतोsन्यामारो पास नार्चे परित्यक्त धर्माध्वरस्यास्य जन्तो: ।
त्वदाराधनान्यस्त चित्तस्य किं मे करिष्यन्तयमी धर्मराज्य दूता: ॥१८

O Goddess! I have given up my believings and worships for other Lords, giving up all the religious feelings, have diverted my heart towards your devotion. What can the messengers of Dharmaraaj do to me? When you are there to protect me.

न मन्यसे हरि न वुधातारमीशं न वह्निं न ह्यर्क न चेन्द्रादि देवान् ।
शिवोदीरितानेक वाक्यप्रबन्ध स्त्वदर्चाविधानं विशत्वम्ब मत्याम् ॥१९

Hey Ambey! I do not believe in Hari, Brahma, Ishaan, Agni ( fire), Sura, Indra. I believe in towards of Shiva. In the result your vidhi should enter my heart.

नरा मां विनिन्दन्तु नाम त्यजेद्वान्धंवा ज्ञातय: सन्त्यजन्तु ।
मयि भटा नारके पातयन्तु त्वमेका गतिर्मे त्वमेका गतिर्मे ॥२०

While being extremely poor,
While affected by disease of old age,

While I am in a pitiable state,
While I am being swallowed by problems,
And While I suffer serious dangers,
I always bow before thee,
So you are my refuge and only refuge, Bhavani

Sat-Chit-Ananda (सत्-चित्-आन्द) सच्चिदानंद

Sat-Chit-Ananda

Sat-Chit-Ananda is a triple consciousness. Sat is existence, Chit is consciousness and Ananda is bliss. You can separate them if you want to and, at the same time, you can take them as one. If one achieves Existence, then inside Existence he has Consciousness itself. And if one has Consciousness, then Bliss is there. It is like an apartment or plot of land. You can give the plot of land one name or, if you want to divide it, each part of the plot can be called by a different name. But the reality of one is bound to be found in the other. They complement one another. So you can either separate them or keep them as one.

Sat-Chit-Ananda is the triple consciousness on the highest plane, and that plane is for the absolutely chosen few. To reach Sat-Chit-Ananda is a most difficult thing. Hardly twenty or thirty Masters have reached it and stayed at that plane, and hardly one or two can embody it. Some Masters have reached that plane and immediately came down because it was too high for them. It is much easier for people to reach the illumined mind or the Supermind, but Sat-Chit-Ananda is absolutely the highest. That consciousness is almost impossible to attain, even for the spiritual Masters. (God, Avatars and Yogis)

To be sure, the Kingdom of Heaven is more than just a mere plane, like other planes. It is a plane of divine Consciousness. It is a state of Realisation. It embodies Sat-Chit-Ananda. Sat is divine Existence, Chit is divine Consciousness, Ananda is divine Bliss. When we go deep within we feel these three together, and when we acquire the inner vision to perceive them all at once, we live verily in the Kingdom of Heaven. Otherwise, Existence is at one place, Consciousness is somewhere else and Bliss is nowhere near the other two. When we see and feel Existence-Consciousness-Bliss on the selfsame plane, each complementing and fulfilling the others, we can say that we live in the Kingdom of Heaven. Yes, the Kingdom of Heaven is within us. Not only can we feel it, but without the least possible doubt, we can become it.

(Yoga and the Spiritual Life by Sri Chinmoy)

Here is the mantra that illustrates Sat-Chit-Ananda in detail:

Moola Mantra

|| Aum Sat Chit Ananda Parabrahma
Purushothama Paramatma
Sri Bhagavati Sametha
Sri Bhagavate Namaha ||

ॐ सच्चिदानंद परब्रह्म

  पुरुषोत्तम परमात्मा ।
श्री भगवती समेत
श्री भगवते नमः ॥

This mantra evokes the living God, asking protection and freedom from all sorrow and suffering. It is a prayer that adores the great creator and liberator, who out of love and compassion manifests , to protect us, in an earthly form. This Moolamantra has given great peace and joy to people all over the world, who have chanted, or even listened to it. It has the power to transport ones mind to the state of causeless love and limitless joy. The calmness that the mantra can give is to be experienced, not spoken about. Dear reader, here is the key with which any door to spiritual treasure could be opened. A tool which can be used to achieve all desires. A medicine which cures all ills. The nectar that can set man free! All auspiciousness and serenity is yours simply by chanting or listening to this magnificent Moolamantra.

Whenever you chant the Moolamantra even without knowing the meaning of it, that itself carries power. But when you know the meaning and chant with that feeling in your heart then the energy would flow million times more powerful. Therefore it is essential to know the meaning of the Mantra when you use it.

The Mantra is like calling a name. Just like when you call a person he comes and makes you feel his presence, the same manner when you chant this mantra, the supreme energy manifests everywhere around you. As the Universe is Omnipresent, the supreme energy can manifest anywhere and any time. It is also very important to know that the invocation with all humility, respect and with great necessity makes the presence stronger.

Meaning

Om
Om has 100 different meanings. It is said 'In the beginning was the Supreme word and the word created every thing. That word is Om'. If you are meditating in silence deeply, you can hear the sound Om within. The whole creation emerged from the sound Om. It is the primordial sound or the Universal sound by which the whole universe vibrates. Om also means inviting the higher energy. This divine sound has the power to create, sustain and destroy, giving life and movement to all that exist.

Sat Chit Ananda

Sat
The all penetrating existence that is formless, shapeless, omnipresent, attribute less, and quality less aspect of the Universe. It is the Un manifest. It is experienced as emptiness of the Universe. We could say it is the body of the Universe that is static. Every thing that has a form and that can be sensed, evolved out of this Un manifest. It is so subtle that it is beyond all perceptions. It can only be seen when it has become gross and has taken form. We are in the Universe and the Universe is in us. We are the effect and Universe is the cause and the cause manifests itself as the effect.

Chit
The Pure Consciousness of the Universe that is infinite, omni-present manifesting power of the Universe. Out of this is evolved everything that we call Dynamic energy or force. It can manifest in any form or shape. It is the consciousness manifesting as motion, as gravitation, as magnetism, etc. It is also manifesting as the actions of the body, as thought force. It is the Supreme Spirit.

Ananda
Bliss, love and friendship nature of the Universe. When you experience either the Supreme Energy in this Creation (Sat) and become one with the Existence or experience the aspect of Pure Consciousness (Chit), you enter into a state of Divine Bliss and eternal happiness (Ananda). This is the primordial characteristic of the Universe, which is the greatest and most profound state of ecstasy that you can ever experience when you relate with your higher Consciousness.

Parabrahma
The Supreme Being in his Absolute aspect; one who is beyond space and time. It is the essence of the Universe that is with form and without form. It is the Supreme creator.

Purushothama
This has different meanings. Purusha means soul and Uthama means the supreme, the Supreme spirit. It also means the supreme energy of force guiding us from the highest world. Purusha also means Man, and Purushothama is the energy that incarnates as an Avatar to help and guide Mankind and relate closely to the beloved Creation.

Paramatma
The supreme inner energy that is immanent in every creature and in all beings, living and non-living. It's the indweller or the Antaryamin who resides formless or in any form desired. It's the force that can come to you whenever you want and wherever you want to guide and help you.

Sri Bhagavathi
The female aspect, which is characterized as the Supreme Intelligence in action, the Power (The Shakti). It is referred to the Mother Earth (Divine Mother) aspect of the creation.

Sametha
Together or in communion with.

Sri Bhagavathe
The Male aspect of the Creation, which is unchangeable and permanent.

Namaha
Salutations or prostrations to the Universe that is Om and also has the qualities of Sat Chit Ananda, that is omnipresent, unchangeable and changeable at the same time, the supreme spirit in a human form and formless, the indweller that can guide and help in the feminine and masculine forms with the supreme intelligence. I seek your presence and guidance all the time.

Om Tat Sat

Om Tat Sat is a mantra in Sanskrit that is translated to mean the 'Supreme Absolute Truth' - literally 'all that is'.
Om refers to the Supreme Infinite Spirit or Person.
Tat refers to 'that', or 'all that is'.
Sat refers to 'truth', that which is not evanescent or ephemeral, the underlying basis, which is most fundamental and universal.

Sometimes Hari Om Tat Sat (Hari, the Lord, is infinite spirit - that is the truth) is also spoken as a variation, especially amongst followers of the bhakti paths.

"From the beginning of creation, the three words om tat sat were used to indicate the Supreme Absolute Truth. These three symbolic representations were used by brahmanas while chanting the hymns of the Vedas and during sacrifices for the satisfaction of the Supreme."

In the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 17, Text 23) The Supreme God is designated as OM TAT SAT. OM means he is present in the whole world as regulator, the whole world is supported by him, and he is guNapUrNa (full of auspicious attributes). TAT means he is conveyed by vedas only, while SAT means he has no defects and is full of auspicious attributes.
