In the darkness where there was nothing
Kushmanda’s smile lit the fire of life,
the little cosmic egg of the universe.
She is the power in the sun, she is the sun.
She is the power in the world, she is the world.
She is the power in light, she is the light.
Her infinite energy manifests in three forms:
Mahakali the terrifying,
Mahalakshmi the fierce,
Mahasaraswati the benevolent.
Kushmanda the creator
grant us the power to create the practice
that creates ourselves.
Om Devi Kushmandayai Namaha.
