Om Namo Bhagavate Vaasudevaya
Narayan o almighty Narayana you are the bringer of life to this earth and you are the protector of us and our many planets. You are the vanquisher of my distress you are the reward to my devocation. O Narayan listen to me o Narayan I think only of you.
O Narayan thank you for keeping my husband in good health. O Narayan thank you for helping me maintain a good relationship with my sister. You know how my son is. I tried to call and what he said broke my heart and I am used to it. He thinks of me as a simple islander. I know he’s met people from all over the world and the last thing he’ll want to do is sit in a simple home and go back to eating our coconut curries and shark chutnies.
O Narayan protector of the universe and guardian of my home, do you mind if I ask you something? I am scared to ask it. I know it’s not the right thing to ask of you.
Om Namo Narayana.
Om Namo Narayana.
Om Namo Narayana.
O Narayana,
Will there be a day someday when I will call my son, and be filled with happiness, not heartache?
