Hymn to Woman
by Raj Arumugam
to Woman we offer all prayers
all oblations;
to Woman we offer all produce
and oil, seeds of the fields
and honey and all praise
for Woman brings all lokas into being
for Woman sustains all lokas
and Woman redeems, Woman saves
for Woman is love
for Woman is energy
She is blood and She is flesh and spirit
She is grace, charm, life
and comfort and stability and order
and the first and the middle and the last
to Woman we offer all produce of the land
all catch and all abundance -
for these Woman bestows on all living beings;
to Woman we offer all adoration:
to her head and her shoulders and her feet
and her hands and her breasts
and to her yoni
and all of her body
and her mind and her Being and Energy;
to all of her we submit
all of us
for Woman makes all of these
that we see in the skies
and lands and oceans
for it is Woman who brings forth
the Day and Night
and it is Woman who brings forth
all Time and Space
and Being and Existence -
for she is Blood and she is Flesh and Spirit
to Woman we offer all prayer
all oblations;
to Woman we offer all produce
and oil, seeds of the fields
and honey and all praise
for the first is Woman
the last is Woman:
Eternity is Woman
