Bhawani Dayani II Durga Vandana II Kathak Dance II Mahananda Ghosh

' Bhavani Dayani ' is a well-known Vandana in praise of Maa Bhavani (another name for the divine Mother - Maa Shakti or Maa Durga). This Vandana is set to Raag Bhairavi (Jhaptaal) of the Hindustani classical music system and the prayerful 'Bhavani Dayani' is a composition of Pt. Bhatkhande.

The Divine Mother, the Mother of this bhuvan (world), Maa Bhavani, is compassionate. She is compassion personified. She is respected and revered by all (Janamani). All humans sing paeans to Her greatness and glory, and thus disseminate Her many stories (Maha Vakyavaani). All humans, be it the ones with noble or daaivic traits (sur), the ordinary mortals (nar) or the "awakened" ones (muni). Her name is on the lips of everyone (sakala) who is enlightened (budha) and possesses illumined knowledge (Gyani).

Maa Bhavani is the Mother (Janani) of the universe; She is the Mother of creation itself (jaga janani). She is the greatest giver (Dani) of all; She bestows her blessings on the whole of creation (Jaga Dani ). But, She is also the vanquisher (mardini) of negative or aasuric forces (in every form) - forces that disturb the balance in creation (mahishAsura mardinI). When She takes on these aasuric forces, She is like a volcano (Jwalamukhi Chandi), transforming herself into Her fierce form (roop) - that of Chandi; then She is no longer compassionate. However, by subjugating or vanquishing these negative forces, She is only giving them an opportunity to redeem themselves; She is not punishing them. There is nothing that is "evil" in creation. Maa Bhavani is omnipresent, is omnipotent, and is omniscient, She is creation; She is timeless (Amara). O Mother, we bow at Your lotus-feet; may we always find sanctuary at Your lotus-feet. [Here lotus is a metaphor. A lotus grows in muddy water, yet remains untouched by it.]
