Pranams to the Seven Mothers.. Saptamatrukas.

In Devimahatmyam of Markandeya Puranam ,Brahmanda Puranam, and elsewhere too we can see the Fight of Divine mother Mahatripurasundari .. Lalithaambika with the Fierce Demons Shumbha and Nishumbha..
The powers or Shakthis of various gods taking the shapes of Devis too fought in the battle..
The seven major Shaktis or mothers representing the seven great deities are called the sapta mataas or the seven mothers..
They are Brahmaani.. from Brahma ,
Maheshvari from Shiva,
Kaumari from Lord Skanda,
Vaishnavi From Vishnu,
Vaaraahee from Varaha, the Boar avatar of Vishnu,
Naarasimhee the power of Narasimha avatar of Vishnu,
Aindree the power of Indra 
and 
Chaamundaa..
The following hymn is by way of prayer to these seven mothers for protection..
ब्रह्माणी कमलेन्दु सौम्य वदना माहेश्वरी लीलया
कौमारी रिपु दर्प नाशनकरी चक्रायुधा वैष्णवी।
वाराही घन घोर घर्घरमुखी दंष्ट्री च वज्रायुधा
चामुण्डा गणनाथ रुद्रसहिता रक्षन्तु माम् मातरः॥
श्री महादेव्यै नमः
श्री राजराजेश्वर्यै नमः
brahmāṇī kamalendu saumya vadanā māheśvarī līlayā
kaumārī ripu darpa nāśanakarī cakrāyudhā vaiṣṇavī |
vārāhī ghana ghora ghargharamukhī daṁṣṭrī ca vajrāyudhā
cāmuṇḍā gaṇanātha rudrasahitā rakṣantu mām mātaraḥ ||

May mother Brahmaanee who is having a calm face like a lotus or full moon protect us
May mother Maaheshvari, by her frolicsome presence, protect us.
May mother Kaumaari, who is capable of shattering the arrogance of the enemies, protect us.
May mother Vaaraahi of terrible and dark complexion of thundercloud, protect us.
May mother Naarasimhee of huge curved teeth protect us..
May Aindree, who wields the Vajraayudha or thunderbolt protect us.
May Chamundee who has Lord Ganesha and the Rudras for company protect us..
Pranams to the mother..
Pranams to Her Royal Glory, the queen or all the queens.. Rajarajeshwari,,
This prayer is offered to the Mothers during Bhagavat Seva.. the special pooja we offer during this month..
