In general, people hearing the words 'Kali' or "Maha Kali" or "Bhadra Kali" are a little bit scared and take one step back in worshipping. Or worship her with a fear that else she will do some mischief in one's life. But the word 'Bhadra' in Samskrutam means 'good'. Beyond doubt this book assures with evidence that Kali is a Goddess of auspiciousness. She looks fearful only for the bad elements. She is so kind with her devotees who worship her with complete focus and attention. This book explains the various forms of Sri Kali along with her Yantras and with her different stotras/ mantras like, Sri Kali Prataha Smarana Stotram, Sri Kali Tandava Stotram, Sri Kali Kavacham, SrI Kalika Hrudayam, Sri Kali Khadgamala Stotram, Sri Kali Ashtottara Sata Nama Stotram/ Namavalihi, Sri Kali Sahasranama Stotram/ Namavalihi, Sri Kali Kshama Aparadha Stotram, etc. Hope the readers will get benefitted by this book.

Soundaryalahari is a treasure given by Sri Adi Shankara, an incarnation of Lord Shiva. This is a stotram, we recite to worship Ambika and achieve all the comforts. While many books have been published on Soundaryalahari, one may wonder, if there is a need for another book. All the 100 hymns in Soundaryalahari seemingly Devi Stuti - describing Ambal at a glance. Usually, they are recited or sang as songs with music. Each of them is a spell if it is looked inside. There are many philosophies embedded within each. For each spell, there is a chakra attached. Each verse is a mantra itself and they can be individually performed as japam for various purposes. This book is an attempt to bring all these out and explain the inner nuances to everyone in a simple way. It is hoped that this will be useful to readers. Everyone who reads this book will get a glimpse of the perfect grace of Sri Devi.

Lord Bhairava is a terrifying but Sacred and Divine form of Lord Shiva. All of us might have heard the name Kala Bhairava. Some might have heard of 8 Bhairavas (Ashta Bhairavas). But on the whole, there are 64 Bhairavas, all different forms of Lord Shiva. Each Bhairava has a consort called Bhairavee. Among the 8 major Bhairavas, Svarnakarshana Bhairava is very famous, probably, he bestows wealth to the devotees. He is also called as Vijaya Bhairava. This book deals with different Bhairavas and various mantras/ verses relating to them.

The title of this book as “Śrī Devī Gīta” might be surprising. Generally, when we hear the name ‘Gīta’, immediately anyone, almost everyone, will remember Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, advised by Bhagawan Krishna to Arjuna – read in Mahabharata.The Purana, called Sri Devi Bhagavatam contains 12 Skandams. In this text – in the 7th Skanda 10 chapters from 31 to 40 are called “Sri Devi Gita” – a very low profile – not so popular sacred text. The aim of this book is to bring this text to limelight. The verses are provided both in Samskrutam and English with lucid meaning in English. Normally any text relating to Devi is supposed to be secretive. That could be one more reason for this text being not so popular. Let the readers be blessed by Sri Devi with her fullest compassion. Om Tat Sat.

As per puranas, originally there were 108 Upanishads. Later some more have been added and now we have 188 Upanishads. Out of these 33 Upanishads are above Sri Devi. Since they talk about Shakti, they are called Shaakta Upanishads. These are very rare and with great difficulty the mantras of these Upanishads are culled out. The mantras are written both in Samskrutam and English. For some of the them the commentary have also been taken from various sources and given in the simple language. Let the readers be blessed by Sri Devi. Om Tat Sat.
