As per puranas, originally there were 108 Upanishads. Later some more have been added and now we have 188 Upanishads. Out of these 33 Upanishads are above Sri Devi. Since they talk about Shakti, they are called Shaakta Upanishads. These are very rare and with great difficulty the mantras of these Upanishads are culled out. The mantras are written both in Samskrutam and English. For some of the them the commentary have also been taken from various sources and given in the simple language. Let the readers be blessed by Sri Devi. Om Tat Sat.

GRC – Governance, Risk and Compliance — is an umbrella term for the processes and practices that organizations implement to meet business objectives. This is a relatively a new jargon, probably a decade+ old. However, GRC management has come a long way from binders full of documentation, unwieldy spreadsheets, and other manual processes. Rather than just a catchall term for unconnected management activities, truly integrated GRC — sometimes referred to as integrated risk management — takes a holistic, enterprise-wide approach to understanding risks and opportunities to better ...

Not only Shakti is responsible for creation, it is also the agent of all changes.

The aim of this book is to bring this text to limelight. The verses are provided both in Samskrutam and English with lucid meaning in ...
