HAPPY BIRTHDAY O GREAT GODDESS
(FROM ALL THE YOGIS OF THIS AGE)

City to city,
Village to village,
We praise Your Holy Name
For all children one and the same.
Some shall dance,
Some shall sing,
Some blow the conch
And bells will ring!

Some carry sparks
In their bright eyes
Of Holy Spirit --
All recognize.

Some gladly bend.
Revering Mother Earth
Loving hands will mend
And announce Her worth.

Some carry water
Full of vibrations
Their works of art
Pure adorations.

Some will churn
The ocean deep
For nectar of Moksha
And sorrow will sleep.

Without fear of defeat
Seeing only Your lotus feet,
Some will take their candlelight
Into the darkest corners of the night.

City to city,
Village to village,
We proclaim Your Holy Name
For people of all races one and the some.
Some shall dance.
Some shall sing,
Some blow the conch
And the bells will ring.

"l've got peace like a river, in my soul
l've got joy like a mountain, in my soul
"l've got love like the ocean... In my soul"
"Holy Mother, by Your Love["]
"Each broken child will be mode whole!"
