The celebration of Durga Puja will be different this year.

We pray, offer Anjali at home safely,

And chant Pranam mantra to Ma Durga respectfully.

Though there is a distinct lack of cheer in the atmosphere 

Ma Durga will tell us to persevere,

Build your own pandal beautifully,

Believe that the world will heal blissfully

And to pray that the warrior within us will reappear. 

Proudly wear your new outfit.

To Ma Durga, remain faithful

And pray to Ma with absolute Bhakti.

Now is not the time to quit

Seek blessings and be hopeful

For Ma Durga will bestow you with divine shakti.

Bolo Durga Maa Ki Jai!
