This spiritual classic, the Devimahatmya, addresses the perennial questions of the nature of the universe, humankind, and divinity. How are they related, how do we live in a world torn between good and evil, and how do we find lasting satisfaction and inner peace? These questions and their answers form the substance of the Devimahatmya. Its narrative of a dispossessed king, a merchant betrayed by the family he loves, and a seer whose teaching leads beyond existential suffering sets the stage for a trilogy of myths concerning the all-powerful Divine Mother, Durga, and the fierce battles she wages against throngs of demonic foes. In these allegories, her adversaries represent our all-too-human impulses toward power, possessions, and pleasure. The battlefields symbolize the field of human consciousness on which our lives' dramas play out in joy and sorrow, in wisdom and folly. The Devimahatmya speaks to us across the ages of the experiences and beliefs of our ancient ancestors. We sense their enchantment at nature's bounty and their terror before its destructive fury, their recognition of the good and evil in the human heart, and their understanding that everything in our experience is the expression of a greater reality, personified as the Divine Mother. Review: one of the best books I own - I love this book . Had been looking for an English translation for years, and one that I also resonated with. The author and translators seems to grasp the true meaning and essence of the original sacred texts. I gain a lot of peace, healing, wisdom, and inspiration every time I read this. There are many other suktas and prayers included, which have a poetic quality to them. It's a truly beautiful book which I'm so happy and blessed to have in my life. Review: Fantastic, authoritative book. Correct mantras. - This is an excellent, authoritative book, with impeccable fidelity to the original Sanskrit source. If you are looking to recite the Chandi in Sanskrit, this book has all the shlokas in Devanagari. The only glaring omission (in my understanding) is the SidhhaKunjika Stotra. Otherwise, this book has everything — in truly, correct Sanskrit — no second guessing about variants of letters, phonemes or words. Highly recommended! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #171,543 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #436 in Other Eastern Religions & Sacred Texts (Books) #561 in Hinduism (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 150 Reviews | ## Images ![In Praise of the Goddess: The Devimahatmya and Its Meaning - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71x9OA+iTYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ one of the best books I own *by D***I on February 24, 2025* I love this book .
