You are the Sun, the Moon, Fire, Water, Earth, Space, and Air —
the Conscious Self. Nothing shines apart from You; all is Your bliss‑consciousness.

Your greatness cannot be reached even by the Vedas and Āgamas.
Still, O Bhavānī, I wish to praise You — forgive me, O Mother, for my simplicity.

तैपनि म तपाईंको स्तुति गर्न चाहन्छु —
हे अम्बा, मेरो सरलताका लागि क्षमा गर्नुहोस्।

हिरण्याक्ष आदि असुरले नपुग्ने अतिपुण्य स्वरूप —
संसाररूपी वनमा त्रस्त भएको मलाई रक्षा गर।
भवानी, तपाईंलाई बारम्बार नमस्कार।

जगज्जननी परमार्थ स्तोत्रम्

A Hymn to the Universal Mother, the Supreme Reality

---

Introduction

Within the vast and timeless spiritual vision of Sanātana Dharma, the Divine Mother is revered as the source, sustainer, and ultimate truth behind all existence. In the Hindu tradition, She is not merely a deity but the very power of creation, the light of consciousness, and the compassion that guides every soul toward liberation.

This hymn, जगज्जननी परमार्थ स्तोत्रम्, celebrates the Mother as both the intimate refuge of the devotee and the infinite cosmic principle. It blends heartfelt devotion (bhakti) with profound non-dual wisdom (advaita), portraying the Goddess as:

• Jagad-Janani — Mother of all worlds
• Śakti — the dynamic power behind creation
• Avidyā-tamas-nāśinī — destroyer of ignorance and inner darkness
• Paramārtha-tattva — the eternal, unchanging Reality

Each verse moves gracefully between personal devotion and universal truth, reminding us that the Divine Mother is both the compassionate protector of the seeker and the absolute essence of the cosmos.

This stotram is not just a prayer — it is a philosophical meditation, a poetic offering, and a spiritual reflection rooted in the eternal wisdom of Sanātana Dharma.

In bowing to the Mother, we bow to the source of consciousness, the light of truth, and the compassion that sustains all worlds.

May this hymn inspire devotion, clarity, and peace in all who read or recite it. May the blessings of the Universal Mother illuminate every path.
