When we hear the word avataaram (incarnation), we will immediately think of Dashaavataaram of Lord Vishnu. But Sri Devi also has taken lots of avataarams. The origin (birth) of most of the Gods we hear about are found in Puranas. Sometimes the end is also seen – for instance, Rama, Krishna, etc. However, the origin of lords Vishnu, Shiva and Devi have not been mentioned anywhere in puranas and all – in that sense they are unique. Sri Devi has also taken many an avataaram. In Sahasranaamaa, Trishatee, Ashtotram and all we have different names for Sri Devi. But an avataaram is different ...

‘A’– none, ‘dvaita’ – dual – Advaita means there is no-two or non-duality. This theory was propounded and globalised by Sree Adi Sankara. He also established the Shanmata, six sub-religions of Hindu religion. Shakta – the worshipers of Shakti, is one of those six sub-religions. When advaita is expounded by Sree Adi Sankara in all his teachers, works, discourses, etc., this book tries to address the advaita principles in Shaakta religion. Again there are very many texts relating to Shakti and hence owned by Shaakta religion. Dealing with all those in one work is humanly ...

An exposition of Similarities in Lalitā Sahasranāma with Soundaryalaharee, Saptashatee, Viśṇu Sahasranāma and Shreemad Bhagavad Geeta. There are lot of Purāṇas and Stotras about every God/ Goddess in Hindu religion. This provides liberty to the devotees to imagine the God/ Goddess in the form of his/ her choice. However, when these Purāṇas and Stotras are studied in depth it is very clear that they all convey the same sense. In one place it is Nārāyaṇa and in another place it is Nārāyaṇī. Somewhere it is as Ardhanārīshvara – i.e. The left half of Śankara is ...

Among the names Lalitā is the best. Among the mantras, Shreevidyā is the best. And in Shreevidyā , the Kādividyā is the best. The Sreepura is the greatest among cities; among the Shreevidyā Upāsakās, Paramashiva is the prime devotee. One is attracted to Shreevidyā only in his last birth. Those who take to this worship will have no more births. It requires an extraordinary merit to get initiated in Shreevidyā. Can anyone see objects without vision or assuage their hunger without taking food? Similarly, no one can attain Siddhi, or please the deity, without the help of Shreevidyā. ...

Shivanandalahari is a treasure given by Sri Adi Shankara, an incarnation of Lord Shiva. This is a stotram, we recite to worship Lord Shiva and achieve all the comforts. While many books have been published on Shivanandalahari, one may wonder, if there is a need for another book.

Each of them is a spell if it is looked inside. There are many philosophies embedded within each. For each spell, there is a special tattva attached. Each ...

When we talk about Vedas, we hear lot many jargons/ concepts like – Shruti, Smruti, Puranas, Caturvedas, Rig, Yajur, Sama, Atharvana, Vedantas, Vedangas, Shiksha, Vyakaraņa, Chandas, Nirukta, Jyotisha, Nyaya, Dharma Shastras, Brahmanas, Aranyakas, Kavya and so on so forth.

This is an exploration of Lalitā Sahasranāma. There is many a book available on Lalitā Sahasranāma. This book is not on, but about Lalitā Sahasranāma. Paribhāsha verses are an insight into, an analysis of, a research paper on and what not, about Lalitā Sahasranāma. These forty verses apparently look like praising/ bowing to Shreedevee. But it is full of mathematics using Katapayādhi and Bhoota Sankya methods of denoting numerals in Samskrit by letters/ words. Sahasranāma about any God is always in the form stotra-s – i.e. verses. Different sages split the verses into 1000 names...
