गंगा के तीर एक ऊँची पहाड़ी पर , अष्टभुजी माँ की पताका लहराती है। विन्ध्य-क्षेत्र का है, माँ सिद्ध-पीठ तेरा घर , आ के यहाँ भक्तों को सिद्धि मिल जाती है। जर्जर, भव-सागर के ज्वार के थपेड़ो से , जीवन के तरनी को पार तू लगाती है। जो है बड़भागी, वही आता है शरण तेरे , तेरे चरण छू कर ही, गंग, बंग जाती है।। * * * * आठ भुजा वाली, हे! अष्टभुजी मैय्या, निज- बालक की विनती को करना स्वीकार माँ। जननी जगत की तुम, पालतीं जगत सारा , तेरी शरण आ के, जग पाए उद्धार माँ। तुम ने सुनी है सदा सब की पुकार , आज- कैसे सुनोगी नहीं मेरी पुकार माँ। दुष्ट -दल -दलन हेतु , काफ़ी है एक भुजा , शेष सात हाथन ते , भक्तन को तार माँ ।। * (पूर्वप्रकाशित)
चन्द्रशेखराष्टकं (महर्षि मार्कण्डेय कृत) भावानुवाद - अरुण मिश्र चन्द्रशेखर चन्द्रशेखर तुम मेरे संकट हरो। चन्द्रशेखर चन्द्रशेखर तुम मेरी रक्षा करो।। रजत शृङ्गों का निकेतन, रत्न शिखरों का धनुष। बनेवासुकि शिंजिनी, सायक बनेश्रीहरि स्वयं। त्रिपुर दग्धक क्षिप्र गति, त्रैलोक्य अभिवन्दित, सदा उस चन्द्रशेखर के समाश्रित, क्या करेगा यम मेरा ॥१॥ शोभित पदाम्बुजद्वय, सुगन्धित पञ्चपादपपुष्प से; भाल-लोचन-ज्वाल से है जल गया मन्मथ शरीर; भस्म भूषित, भव-विनाशक, नित्य अविनाशी स्वयं; उस चन्द्रशेखर के समाश्रित, क्या करेगा यम मेरा ॥२॥ मत्त गज के चर्म का जिसका मनोहर उत्तरीय; और ब्रह्मा-विष्णु-पूजित पद-कमल जिसके सदा; सुर-सरित की लहर-सिञ्चित, शुभ्र है जिसकी जटा, उस चन्द्रशेखर के समाश्रित, क्या करेगा यम मेरा॥३॥
About the video - By Maatibaani : We were inspired to do this song while at Amritapuri, Amma's Ashram in Kerala. When we heard JoyShanti, a Jazz/Blues vocalist from France, we were simply amazed by her energy and requested her to do a song with us! We recorded and shot her on the location on Azheekkal beach amidst all the strange looks from the people! While back in Mumbai, we recorded all the other musicians including us. The flautist Naushadbhai, a flute seller and Bashirbhai on Pinjara (a cotton carder, its not a musical instrument! ) were walking down the lane outside our studio. Struck by their unusual sound, we recorded their parts for the song! The lyrics in Braj language were adapted from the works of great poet Shri " Laghulaal" from Kutchh. The French lyrics are by JoyShanti. LYRICS : French : Mon bien aimé est enfin de retour, mon bien aimé est là là.
L'amour, l'amour, l'amour est ma foi.
Mon bien aimé est enfin de retour, mon cœur est en joie.
Mon bien aimé est là, au fond de mon cœur. L'amour est ma foi.
Mon bien aimé est enfin de retour. Mon cœur est en joie.
Mon bien aimé est là , au fond de mon cœur. L'amour est ma foi. Mon bien aimé.... Braj : Tore matwaare naina maare,
Preet rang mope daare.
Tore matwaare naina maare maare maare! French : Mon bien aimé est là ,au fond de mon cœur. L'amour est ma foi.
Mon bien aimé est enfin de retour. L'amour est en moi.
Mon bien aimé est là. Il est là là là là là là là là..
Braj : Chhum chhum chhum chhum chhumak chhumak chhum,
Room jhoom room jhoom rumak jhumak jhum,
Jhana na jhana na jhannjhar jhamkaay gayori,
Than gan than gan thanak thanak than,
Tirakita tirakita tanana tanana tum,
Dhuma kita dhuma kita dhak bajaya gayo ri,
Ab chhod ke na jaa re!
Tore matwaare naina maare maare maare!

"My swords are covered in rust. My body is dirty with soil.
My Soul carries the pain of a thousand wounds. And yet, I rise, over and over again to exist among the living.
I dedicate this piece to the strength of all women who have stayed down in order to be accepted and loved. To all of those who overcame the belief and shattered those chains and paved the road to many yet to come."
