Translation
Remember that the Guru is not far away from you. The Goddess Durga has come riding on the lion covering Herself with the red stole with star dots on it. The one which has been created by Lord Brahma, decorated by Lord Vishnu and coloured with love by Lord Shiva. 1) The colour of the scarf gives infinite power. It destroys the sins of the mind. It removes all the wicked influences on the devotees. The Goddess with the lion has come covering Herself with this scarf. 2) In the corner of this scarf are all the material and spiritual powers. It grants auspiciousness and fortune. This scarf is pleasing to the devotees. The Goddess with the lion has come covering Herself with this scarf. 3) The scarf looks very beautiful on the Divine Mother. The whole world madly loves the Divine Mother. It makes the clouds of sorrow go far away. The Goddess with the lion has come covering Herself with this scarf. All glories to the Divine Mother! ’Whatever you ask the Divine Mother for, in my Name, She will fulfil it for you, as long as it is beneficial. The Guru is the closest one, sitting in your heart in the form of Love.’ - Paramahamsa Viswhananda -
