The shawl is one of the items, which are always
accompanying Shri Mataji. Mostly red, with delicate embroidery, it covers
Mother always in a particular manner. Sometimes loose, sometimes tight, sometimes
covering the left arm, sometimes the right, or even both, it shows the
momentary mood, the divine aspect, or the powers at work. It belongs to Shri Mataji, like a part of Her
image, and represents to Her children -
Mothers Protection
The
shawl of Mother covers the entire creation.
It
is spread to protect evolution of life.
It
is woven of love and firm dedication,
To
make sure that the image of God will survive.
As
the shell is protecting the shining pearl,
And
the nut gives shelter to the delicate seed.
Mothers
robe of Grace embraces the world
To
preserve the precious and defend the weak.
As
the Mother protects her household,
And
the King feels obliged for His state,
The
Goddess’ shawl will open and unfold
Over
those who’re in need of protection and aid.
But
for those who love Her, She especially cares,
Those
who seek refuge at Her Lotus feet.
For
the ones, who will utter Her name in despair
She
will always fight evil, and will never retreat.
Mothers
protection is a commitment of love
It’s
a pledge She takes for the born again soul.
As
long as you dwell in the kingdom above
Her
caring attention will guard and console.
To
those, who surrender, Mothers love is protection
Loyal,
unfailing, for the benefit of all.
This
is the promise of Her caring affection
To
be saved and kept warm under Her Motherly shawl.

Shri
Mataji, please let me carry Your shawl
Let
me bring it wherever You go
For
I know-
Faith
and surrender in my heart to install
That
is the blessing the shawl will bestow.
