lyrics

See Light, by Manisha Shahane
[This piece incorporates a traditional Hindu prayer recited in the Marathi language, the translation of which is in ( ).]
Mother told me it was time to light the candles of the night, drive the evil from our minds, and make a home where good resides—where we can see, see light, see light. Deewyaa deewyaa dipatkaar, kaani kundale moti haar, deep dekhoon namaskaar, diwaa laawla Tulshee pudhe, ujed padlaa Vishnu pudhe, gharaatli peedaa baaher jaawo, baaherchi Lakshmi gharaat yewo, gharchya dhanyaalaa, mulaa maansaannaa, udanda aayushya dewo. (I see and bow to this beautifully ornamented light form. We light the wick of the oil lamp in front of the sacred Tulshee plant symbolic of the Goddess Lakshmi, so that the light is carried to her husband and our protector, the Lord Vishnu. With this light, let the evil spirits leave our home, and may good fortune enter and provide long life to the whole family.) See light.
