Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. DEVI MAHATMYA THE DIVINE GLORY OF THE GODDESSDevi Mahatmya: The Divine Feminine Beyond Time is an illuminating exploration of one of the most profound and spiritually empowering scriptures of Sanatana Dharma-the Devi Mahatmya (also known as Durga Saptashati or Chandi Patha). This sacred text, composed in classical Sanskrit, stands as a timeless hymn to the Supreme Goddess-Adi Shakti, the cosmic energy that pervades all creation. The book delves deep into the philosophical, mythological, and symbolic essence of the Devi Mahatmya, presenting it not merely as a tale of divine battles but as a spiritual allegory of inner awakening, the victory of consciousness over ignorance, and the eternal dance of creation, preservation, and dissolution.Divided into three Charitras (episodes), the Devi Mahatmya depicts the goddess in her three primary manifestations-Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, and Mahasaraswati-each representing one of the three fundamental gunas, or cosmic qualities: Tamas (inertia), Rajas (activity), and Sattva (purity).In the first Charitra, the Goddess appears as Mahakali, emerging from the sleeping form of Lord Vishnu to annihilate the demons Madhu and Kaitabha, who symbolise ignorance and ego arising from the inertia of Tamas. This episode signifies the awakening of consciousness and the destruction of darkness that clouds the human mind.The second Charitra presents Mahalakshmi as the radiant Mahishasura Mardini, the destroyer of the buffalo demon Mahishasura. Here, Rajas is personified as dynamic energy used for the protection of Dharma. The fierce battle between the goddess and the asuras mirrors the eternal struggle between good and evil, dharma and adharma, within the world and within the self.The third Charitra unveils Mahasaraswati, who conquers the demons Shumbha and Nishumbha, embodiments of pride and possessiveness. As the embodiment of Sattva, she represents clarity, wisdom, and inner balance. This episode teaches that even divine power must be guided by knowledge and discernment to achieve true liberation (moksha).The narrative structure of the Devi Mahatmya thus becomes a journey from darkness to light, from ignorance to wisdom, from bondage to liberation. Beyond its mythic grandeur, it is a spiritual map of the human experience-urging the reader to recognize the Devi not as an external deity but as the inner power (Shakti) that animates every thought, action, and breath.The book's Part I provides the philosophical foundation-exploring the origin of Devi, her symbolism, and the interplay of the three gunas. It examines how the feminine principle in the Devi Mahatmya transcends gender, representing the pure consciousness that operates through both the cosmic and the personal realms.Part II retells and interprets the three Charitras in detail, blending textual analysis with symbolic commentary. Each episode is presented as both a cosmic event and a psychological metaphor-offering readers a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern understanding.The concluding section, Part III, interprets the relevance of the Devi Mahatmya in today's world. It highlights how the stories of the Goddess remain profoundly relevant-reminding us of resilience in adversity, the importance of moral clarity, and the empowerment that comes from realising the divine energy within oneself.The appendices enrich the reader's experience with a glossary of Sanskrit terms, a daily recitation guide, temple maps where Devi Mahatmya worship is central, and references to its translations in different Indian languages. This item is printed on Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

"A nice exposition of devotional philosophy in the Shakti tradition is found in the Devi-Mahatmayam, popularly revered as the Durga Saptashati. Shakti as a Supreme Mother has found an elaborate position in this highly occult scripture of the Shaktas. Devi is adored with the name and form of Mahakali, Mahalakshmi and Mahasaraswati. This sacred scripture is a section of the Markandeya Purana. It is multi-dimensional in spirit, devotional in Stuti and philosophic in approach. It throws sufficient light on Jnana-Karma-Bhakti. Through this triadic approach, a Sadhaka enters in the divine laboratory, putting on the Kavacham / apron of various moods of the Divine Mother, around the spiritual atmosphere during the Navaratra Puja, explains Dr. C.L. Raina in his detailed introduction of this book." (jacket).
