Synopsis

She is the Guru, She is the Goddess. She is the inspiration for many thousands of spiritual aspirants in many parts of the world. Her every action reflects the abandonment of selfishness. This book is a powerful combination of important teachings including: the Kashyapa Sutras, the Guru Gita, and the Lalita Trishati. The Kashyapa Sutras is a series of delightful discussions with Shree Maa and Swamiji in which they share engaging, humorous stories, deep, universal philosophies, and transcendentally sublime songs. The Guru Gita recounts the dialog between Parvati and Shiva regarding the relationship between the Guru and disciple, and how to serve the Guru. Lalita is the playful, beautiful and beloved Goddess. She is also the Goddess who distinguishes the individual forms and names of this creation. The Lalita Trishati Stotram is the three hundred names of the Playful Divine Mother. These three teachings combine to make a foundation upon which to establish devotional practices. Each three parts of this book are invaluable to lovers of philosophy, the Guru, and the Playful Divine Mother. Complete with Sanskrit, Roman transliteration and English translations. Also included is a list of seed mantras designed to transform negative vibrations into positive ones and a glossary of key Sanskrit words.

About this title

About the Author:

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.
