In the Union of Shiva and Shakti

On this holy night of Diwali, O Divine Mother
On this dark moonless night, O Kali
When the longitude of the Moon is one with that of the Sun
On this night before the beginning of the auspicious month of Kartik
Marks the union of Thee with Thy Beloved!
May Thou appear to us as Shiva Himself, who is but Thyself!
May Thou appear to us as Ramachandra Dasharathi, as He returns triumphant to Ayodhya
May Thou appear to us as Krishna Vasudeva, as He returns triumphant to Dwaraka
May Thou appear to us as the dwarf Vamana, the Subdoer of King Mahabali
May Thou appear to us as resplendent Lakshmi emerging from the ocean of nectar
May Thou appear to us Dhanvantari, the Healer of all ailments
May Thou appear to us Bhadrakali, the Destroyer of all things evil
O Shakti, the embodiment of Shiva, Thou are all the forms of Divine indeed
O Universal Mother, whose praises know no beginning nor end
Guide us always, always on the path of truth and of realization
For in the union of Shiva and Shakti is reality so pure and bliss eternal.

Aum Namah Shivaya.
