The meaning and significance of Mantra
Unto Him who is one with the Three Mothers (Shaktis of Will, Knowledge and Action); the dweller of Ajna and the Sahasrara chakras, we offer our very selves in sacrifice unto Him who awakens our shakti right from the Muladhara chakra, thus activating fragrances in our body, prana and mind, unto Him who nourishes all our Shaktis, strengthens our devotion by his grace, and makes us advance into the spiritual dimension. As a melon drops from the vine upon ripening, so, may I, upon the ripening of the fruits of our actions be released, attain moksha from the bondage that is death, and thereby may I never again be parted from the immortality of atman, the Spiritual Self or Parama-atman, the Supreme Self. -translation By Swami Veda
