Use with Amma's teaching CD *Sri Mahishasura Mardini Stotram for learning * and you'll learn quickly and easily.

This little booklet is a real gem. It gives a page-by-page illustration of Mahishasura Mardini Stotram by Adi Sankara. It was written by the latter because he knew that it would be difficult for most people to recite the Chandi Path on a daily basis. Therefore he included all the main tenets of the Chandi Path in twenty beautifully written verses. There are of course many translations of this famous stotram but none could equal that of Karunamayi.

She has not only translated the verses into English but makes them sound beautiful with all the internal rhythms and cadences a great poem should possess. In addition she writes a full page about the essence of each of the twenty verses. As if that wasn't enough she also gives us a translation of the 18 Shakti Pithas and the 12 Shiva Jyotirlingams.

I think it is truly a great gift to mankind.

I was really pleased i could get a copy of this book for my collection.
