Compiled for daily recitation by devotees, it gathers into one handy volume the hymns most cherished in the worship of the Divine Mother in Kashmir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe book opens with a salutation to Mata Sharika herself: the devotee bows to the Goddess seated on the Pradyumna peak, adorned by the circle of the Mothers, the presiding Lady of the sacred seat, who abides in the form of a rock. This verse captures the heart of the Sharika tradition, in which the Mother is worshipped on Hari Parvat in her self-manifested form, revered as the living Shri Chakra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA valuable Hindi introduction (Bhumika) places the collection in its sacred context. It describes Kashmir as one of the foremost centres of Shakta worship since time immemorial, the home of shrines of Sharada, Jwala, Maharajni and Sharika. It speaks of the five principal abodes of the Goddess of Shri Vidya in Srinagar, Rajarajeshvari, Kaleshvari, Mahashri, Sadbhavashri and Lokeshvari, through whose presence, the introduction explains, the city received its name. It goes on to recount the sanctity of Sharika Parvat: the self-existent Mahachakra established there, the appearance of the Shri Chakra with the hill itself, which is therefore also known as Shri Parvat, and the hill’s other names, Pradyumna Shikhara, Sharika Peetha and Pradyumna Peetha, the last associated with the ancient king Pradyumna. The introduction also recalls how Mata Sharika manifested to subdue a mighty demon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe hymns that follow include celebrated texts of the Devi tradition, among them verses from the Durga Saptashati, the names of the nine Durgas, Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandaghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Mahagauri and Siddhidatri, and the Bhavani Sahasranama Stotram, the thousand names of Bhavani, which opens with radiant meditation verses on the Goddess bearing her weapons, mounted on her lion, and sporting at the centre of the Chakra. An errata page at the front of the book reflects the care taken by the editors to present an accurate text for recitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor devotees of Mata Sharika, Bhavani and Durga, members and students of the Kashmiri Pandit tradition, practitioners of Shri Vidya, and all who recite Sanskrit stotras in daily worship, this collection is a treasured devotional companion from one of the most sacred shrines of Kashmir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEbook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e PDF (digital download)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sanskrit stotras with a Hindi introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eText:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stotra Pāṭha-Saṅgraha (collection of devotional Sanskrit hymns, including the Bhavani Sahasranama Stotram)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEditor \/ Publisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shri Shri Jagadamba Sharika Chakreshwar Sanstha, Hari Parvat, Srinagar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Publication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shri Shri Jagadamba Sharika Chakreshwar Sanstha, Hari Parvat; all rights reserved\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContent:\u003c\/strong\u003e The complete stotra collection with the Hindi Bhumika and errata, faithfully reproduced from the original edition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Devotees of Mata Sharika and Bhavani, followers of the Kashmiri Pandit tradition, practitioners of Shri Vidya and the Shakta path, those who recite Sanskrit stotras daily, and collectors of rare Kashmiri devotional texts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA devotional treasure from Hari Parvat in a single download: the hymns of Mata Sharika, Bhavani and Durga as recited in the Kashmiri Shakta tradition, with a Hindi introduction to the sacred history of Sharika Parvat and the Shri Chakra of Srinagar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOrder Now\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBring home the Stotra Path Sangraha, the sacred hymn collection of the Shri Shri Jagadamba Sharika Chakreshwar Sanstha, Hari Parvat, in this Sanskrit edition with Hindi introduction, available exclusively at The Soma Store.
