In English | Amman Potri Lyrics

The repetitive “Potri, potri” creates a meditative, uplifting rhythm. In temples, devotees often clap or ring bells while singing, believing the sound vibrations purify the environment.

Before we dive into the lyrics, let’s understand the Goddess we are addressing. amman potri lyrics in english

Om Sri Matre Namaha Om Sakthi Parvathi Potri Sri Raja Rajeshwari Potri

Hail to the forest Durga who lives in the wilderness, Hail to the pearl-garlanded Mariamman. In one hand a spear, in the other a shield, You are the silent great one—hail, hail! Om Sri Matre Namaha Om Sakthi Parvathi Potri

Since Tamil phonetics are complex, here is where English-only readers often slip:

: Praising her as the source of all life and the "Mother of the Universe". Healing and Mercy Healing and Mercy Hail to the green-hued mother

Hail to the green-hued mother (Mariamman), Hail to the Kali of Palani, Hail to the madwoman (ecstatic) mother, hail to the great mother, Hail to the grandmother of the market district.

Amman Potri... Amman Potri... Om Shakthi... Om Shakthi...
