Bhavani Ashtakam is a hymn composed by Adi Shankaracharya. It is about taking refuge in Goddess Bhavani.
Sri Aurobindo has translated a portion of this hym.
Sri Aurobindo’s translation of Bhwani Ashthakam.
Father nor mother, daughter nor son are mine,
I obey no master, served am I by none,
Learning or means I have not, wife nor kin;
My refuge thou, Bhavani, thou alone!
Charity I have not learned, Yoga nor trance,
Mantra nor hymn nor Tantra have I known,
Worship nor dedication’s covenants:
My refuge thou, Bhavani, thou alone!
Virtue is not mine nor holy pilgrimage,
Salvation or world’s joy I have never won,
Devotion I have not, Mother, no vows I pledge:
My refuge thou, Bhavani, thou alone!
River Ganga has been the source of physical and spiritual sustenance of Indian civilization for millennia.
To the Indian mind, River Ganga is living Goddess.
पवनः पवतामस्मि रामः शस्त्रभृतामहम् । झषाणां मकरश्चास्मि स्रोतसामस्मि जाह्नवी ॥
I am the wind among things of purification, and among warriors I am Rama, the hero supreme
Of the fishes in the sea I am Makara, the wonderful, and among all rivers the holy Ganges.
Bhagavad Gita; Verse 31, Chapter 10
