Hey Mam Pyari Amma!

A poem composed by Banchary Didi in 2008 to felicitate our Divine Mother Amma Ji wife of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. Listen to it in Didi ji's voice.

हे मम प्यारी अम्मा ! तव सुत तव चरनन में।
   झुकि शीश नमन करते, भरी जल निज नयनन में॥

तुम जैसी माँ पा कर, हम बलि बलि जाते हैं ।
   नहिं पटतर मम माँ के, कोई इस त्रिभुवन में ॥

कुछ सीकर तव ममता के, जो जन पा लेते हैं ।
   गुरुनिष्ठ बने रहते हैं, गुरु के पद कमलन में ॥

तेरी भोरी बतियन पे, गुरुवर बलि जाते हैं ।
   वे डूब डूब जाते हैं, तेरी रस भरी चितवन में  ॥

करू कृपा मातु हम पे ये, हँसी कहु कछु गुरुवर ते ।
   झट अपना लें हमको, फँसी तव मृदु वचनन में ॥

Hē mama pyārī am'mā! Tava suta tava caranana mēṁ.
   Jhuki śīśa namana karatē, bharī jala nija nayanana mēṁ.
Tuma jaisī mām̐ pā kara, hama bali bali jātē haiṁ,
   Nahiṁ paṭatara mama mām̐, kē kō'ī isa tribhuvana mēṁ.
Kucha sīkara tava mamatā kē, jō jana pā lētē haiṁ.
   Guruniṣṭha banē rahatē haiṁ, guru kē pada kamalana mēṁ.
Tērī bhōrī batiyana pē, guruvara bali jātē haiṁ.
   Vē ḍūba ḍūba jātē haiṁ, tērī rasa bharī citavan mēṁ .
Kr̥pā karū mātu hama pē yē, ham̐sī kahu kachu guruvara tē.
   Jhaṭa apanā lēṁ hamakō, pham̐sī tava mr̥du vacanana mēṁ.

O my beloved Amma! Your children bow down at your lotus feet, with tears of love filled in their eyes.

We are extremely fortunate to have a mother like you. No one in the entire universe can be compared to you.

Whoever receives few drops of your motherly affection, becomes a sincere devotee and finds shelter at the lotus feet of Guru forever.

Your innocent words are so sweet that even Gurudev gets enchanted. He drowns in the sweetness of your beautiful eyes.

We request you to kindly say something to Him humorously, so that He gets spellbound by your sweet words and quickly bestows His grace upon us.
