(This is a "Praana-prathistaapana" song. The Deity has been
sculptured in clay, dried, draped in the finest silk garments,
decked with gold and diamond jewelry and placed in the shrine.
Before beginning formal worship, devotees chant the "Prana-
prathishtapana" song and pray " Goddess Mother, we have prepared
the clay statuette. Please infuse it with Your presence. Please
breath life into it and make it wake up and come to life" The
meaning of the song is: Mother, uplifter of the universe, please
wake up. Durga, chandi, consort of Lord Shiva, please make the
image wake up into a living vibrant You.)
