Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa

SaiRam

   From my childhood, I have always liked the Vaishnavi Devi bhajans - the very energetic chorus and the whole mass euphoria would make it a very hair raising experience..

   As you can see it, this is a great bhajan when there are lot of devotees and if you can pull it off, repeat the last two lines Jaya Maa, and Jaya Jaya Maa as many times, at a very fast speed (whatever level you are comfortable with) - usually I will work up a sweat by the time I am done with this bhajan :)

Lyrics:
(Saying "Jai Jagaj-janani Sai Maa" in the fast round is a little bit tricky; practice several times to get the flow)

Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa, Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa
Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa, Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa

Jai Maa, Jai Maa, Jai Maa, Sai Maa
Jai Maa, Jai Maa, Jai Maa, Sai Maa

Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa, Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa
Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa, Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa

Sherawaali Maa, Jyotaawaali Maa
Sherawaali Maa, Jyotaawaali Maa

Pahadawaali Maa, Jai Jagajjanani Sai Maa
Pahadawaali Maa, Jai Jagajjanani Sai Maa

Jai Maa, Jai Maa, Jai Maa, Sai Maa
Jai Jai Maa, Jai Jai Maa, Jai Jai Maa, Sai Maa

(Fast Beat)
Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa, Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa
Jai Maa, Jai Maa, Jai Maa, Sai Maa
Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa, Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa
Sherawaali Maa, Jyotaawaali Maa
Pahadawaali Maa, Jai Jagajjanani Sai Maa
Jai Maa, Jai Maa, Jai Maa, Sai Maa
Jai Jai Maa, Jai Jai Maa, Jai Jai Maa, Sai Maa

(Slow Chorus)
Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa, Jai Jai Vaishnavi Devi Maa

Translation:
Victory to the Supreme Energy principle who manifests as the three divine mothers (Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati) in the holy Vaishnavi Devi shrine.
Victory to the Supreme Energy principle who on earth assumed the form of Sai.
O Mother! You are the Most Effulgent One who shines brilliantly (Jyotaawali), the Powerful One who has the lion as her vehicle (Sherawaali).
O Divine Mother Sai! You are the Mother of this World who resides in the mountains of Trikoota as Vaishnav Devi (Pahadawaali).
Victory to the Divine Mother, Victory to Sai!
Victory to the Mother! Victory to Lord Sai!
