Passage 1

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

With the sliver of the crescent moon sparkling on His crown, with matted locks that glitter in their beauty, with the lustre of the river of heaven flowing in those locks, with the splendid eye upon His brow, with a throat as black as the black jamun fruit, with a serpent bracelet on His wrist, with the elephant's hide wrapped about His waist, with ash gleaming over all His body, with a broad vermilion mark drawn upon His forehead, with lips reddened by betel, grown glorious in the six śāstras, laughing the dark lilies to scorn and robbing them of their beauty, with His shining body of dusky hue, the Lord of the king of mountains has appeared before us today.

Embodiments of Prema! The whole globe of the earth is filled with magnetism. All beings living on this globe, and all things, are of the very nature of magnetism. Rivers that flow, flowers that blossom, winds that blow: all these are filled with magnetism. It is by the earth's magnetic power alone that rivers flow clinging to the earth. Magnetic power fills every place. People go to temples with Bhakti and surrender. This Bhakti and surrender carry magnetic power. Because thousands of devotees enter this shrine, all their magnetic power stays on in the shrine.
