The Study of Chapter One is the most in depth analysis of the Chandi Path available. It breaks down each word of Chapter One and includes an elaborately detailed account of the segments of time enumerated from a fraction of a second, to the length of one exhalation of God. It also includes other additional background information that a chanter of the Chandi will enjoy and benefit from immensely.
When Swami Satyananda's guru invited him to trek into the Himalayas, he asked what he should bring along. "Nothing," came the reply. Fifteen years later, Swamiji knew the mountain pathways as well as the Hindu systems of worship. His numerous books and translations of ancient Sanskrit texts are available all over India, as well as in the United States, and he is widely regarded as a Master of the ancient Vedic fire ceremony and other systems of worship. Now Swamiji invites us to trek into the Himalayas and listen and learn from the sadhus of the mountains.
