Annapurna Stotram

Maryland, United States

I discovered this hymn this morning. It fills me with joy and deep comfort. This hymn to the glory of Annapurna, goddess of food and nourishment, is true food for my soul and spirit. I am grateful to beloved Gurumayi for enabling me to discover this sacred and beneficial hymn through the Siddha Yoga path website.

I sing the Annapurna Stotram once a week. It’s always a delight to listen to and sing along with the melodious voices of the music ensemble. Since I love cooking, gardening, buying food, and of course enjoying it, I am grateful to receive this hymn by which the goddess reveals herself in me.
For me, food is nothing but the love of God. And when I share my food with others, I see love resonate in their hearts.
 
Some time ago I decided to invite a family from the neighborhood to celebrate my birthday. When the lady of the farm received the invitation from me, she remained silent. Then, she said, “I was born on that day too.”
 
I had just created a booklet of pictures of flowers from the country. And so, miracle after miracle, I offered the booklet as a gift during a warm gathering around a pie made with rhubarb from the garden. Undoubtedly, the goddess is among us and takes countless forms of food.

To me, this beautiful hymn is the perfect antidote to much of the sadness in our world today! It is a boon to my own efforts.

What an exquisite and perfect hymn to the mysterious and profound source that we can always draw close to!

I am a chef by profession and recently took a job that was a bit more than I felt I could handle. As a result, I became tired and felt run-down. Then I started singing the Annapurna Stotram. I could feel my attitude shifting and my energy level gradually rising.

I sang this beautiful hymn while seated on a hilltop overlooking pristine views of mountains, lush valleys, and ocean. As I sang, I envisioned the blessings and “abundant nourishment” that Annapurna Devi bestows radiating out into my surroundings and beyond. I felt such peace and gratitude in my heart at the thought that this abundance is available to all.

I just recited this hymn to Annapurna for the whole world to be nourished—all creatures, all people. Om is ringing throughout my being. Golden light seems to be issuing forth from this celestial sound. Even my skin feels enlivened! May I never forget this sweet, divine pulsation and sound.

On the first night of Navaratri, as I sang the Annapurna Stotram and danced to a small murti of the Goddess Durga, I prayed for the fires in my hometown to be calmed and for my fears to be dissolved. Outside, smoke from the fires was rising in the night sky.
 
No rain had been forecast, but I woke up the next morning to a cool, gentle rain. I smiled and thanked Mahadurga. Later, in meditation after chanting Kali Durge, my breath was steady, my inner state serene, and the love of the goddess pulsated inside me and all around.
 
Tears of gratitude rose from my heart. I asked the goddess that, with each breath, my experience of unity consciousness be strengthened, and that I always honor my Sadguru, my true Self, and the great goddess.

I find Annapurna Stotram to be such an uplifting hymn. Listening to this during challenging times has made my heart sing.

As the clouds part, sunlight shines through my window, and I am reminded of the well of power and light that remains within us all.
