Jai Shri Mataji,
You are the Supreme Mother
And we are your children
So we are your sons and daughters.
We are brothers and sisters,
This is due to your blessings in showers.

O Mother,
Through the rays of your bewitching smile,
The holy lotus of affection
Blooms in the hearts of brothers and sisters
Through your chants, the melodious music of purity
Fills the hearts of the beloved sisters and brothers

Through your moonlit glance
The glow of innocence spreads
In the pearly hearts of brothers and sisters.

Through your golden vase of bliss
Your sons and daughters heartily
Taste the nectar of great affectionate compassion

Through your resuscitative vibrations, The sisters and brothers enjoy,
Rapturous throbs in their hearts
Mother, you are Parama-Chaitanya,
you are the Vishnu Maya,
To proclaim Shrikrishna's grand arrival,
You are Shri Krishna,
To protect the anguished Draupadi in her woes.
You are the Mukta to appease your dear elder
brother Gyaneshwara

O Maha Devi, You are protection, assurance, help, appeasement
Peace, joy, harmony, compassion, love.

Please bless us with the fragrance, melody, splendor, elixir and caressing
For your dear children the brothers and sisters
We pray to you from the heart of our hearts.
To let this holy festival of Raksha Bandhana
Help us to get your blessings for ever.

Ya Devi sarwa bhooteshu Raksha roopena Samsthita
Namastasyai namastasyai, namastasyai namo namah.
