DEVI MAHATMYAM PART 1 TO 3 (Video Pen Drive)

Devi Mahatmyam, a part of Markandeya Purana, glorifies the feminine aspect of God, venerating both the saguna and the nirguna aspects of the God. The sarguna aspects, represented by Mahasarasvati (creator and sattva), Mahalaksmi (sustainer and rajasic) and Mahakali (destroyer and tamas) endorses the guna theory that is core to the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. The text is found in 13 sequential chapters in the Markandeya Purana, where Sage Markandeya narrates it to his students in three parts. Each part venerates a different aspect of Devi: Part 1 as Sakti, Part 2 as Durga and Part 3 as Kali. These three are verily depictions of man’s inner and outer experiences and how the Goddess destroys them through her different aspects.

The study of this text leads a seeker to purify himself through an understanding of his experiences and thus gains the strength to understand the Truth (his identity) and firmly get established in it. This text expounds the hitherto hidden aspects of the Adi Parasakti. The study of this mystic text helps to embrace all aspects of spiritual life from chanting, to meditation and contemplation of the Supreme Mother. The rich symbolism of Indian tradition is unveiled through these talks. Swami Sharadananda Sarasvati explains Divine Mother’s glories and inspires us with his devotional fervour. His deep insight into both Vedic and Tantrik scriptures is unfolded as we delve into this truly sublime text, Devi Mahatmyam.
