A classic edition of one of the most important Shakta texts,

This review is from: Devi-Mahatmyam (The Chandi) (Paperback)
The Devi Mahatmyam (DevI MAhAtmyam), also known as DurgA Saptas'ati or Can.d.I, is represented by 700 verses divided in 13 chapters and belongsto the Markandeya Purana. Despite being the MP a MahaPurana often regarded as a Vaishnava text, the section named Devi Mahatmyam is perhaps one of the most important texts for the Shakta tradition as well. It describes the exploits of the Goddess Durga, in her 3 aspects (MahaKali, MahaLaksmi and MahaSaraswati), as a Cosmic defender of the Dharma, destroyer of demons, granter of liberation, overcomer of obstacles, hearer of humans in distress, compassionate reliever of difficulties. It is a central text of the Liturgy of Durga Puja in Bengal, and its recitation is regarded as a sacred act. There are many complex treaties written on the esoteric and philosophical implications on this beautiful text, and many English translations of the DM are available also on the West. With this review, I simply would like to bring to the attention of those few interested readers who may be perhaps unaware that this particular edition of the DM was originally created by Swami Jagadiswarananda in 1953, has been published and reprinted with no changes by the Ramakrishna Math, and it is to all extents a true `classic' amidst modern editions of the DM. It is presented in a small format, suitable to be carried at all times, offers both Devanagari text and a limpid, rigorous and literal English translation. Given its exceptionally reasonable price, it is a true jewel, and I recommend all the people interesting in the S'akta tradition, as well people interested in Hinduism in general, to have it and cherish it.

I love this translation of the Chandi Path! Very simple, in a compact "bring-everywhere-you-go" publication.
