ALDCD 1119: SRI DURGA SAHASRANAMAM & OTHER DURGA STOTRAS (Sacred Sanskrit Recital)


When men suffer with mental strains, physical stresses and peacelessness and when no medicine could give relief, the spiritual path is resorted to and it is effective. Pray your best and leave the rest to God. Prayers through Sanskrit the divine language to any chosen deity accomplishes one's aspirations and fulfils the demand of the soul and acts as the healing agent to any problem concerning the physique or the psyche!
Here are some prayers to Goddess Durga, an incarnation of Parvati or Lalita is the consort of Lord Siva and exists in various divine (both friendly and fearful) forms. Two of her fierce but very powerful forms are Durga (goddess beyond reach) and Kali (goddess of destruction). She is also called Mahishasuramardini as she killed the mahisha (bufallo) demon. Durga is depicted with eight hands indicating her great power and energy (Shakthi). Durga rides on a lion and Kali rides on a corpse of a demon. These forms symbolize the triumph of virtue over vices. The family of Lord Siva, Parvati and their sons Ganesa and Karthikeya is an ideal example of family unity and love. Durga has an charming personality. She is adored by married woman for a happy married life. Listening to the prayers and thereby gaining contact with this Super power achieves all our Pancaratnam, Durga Apaduddhara Stotram, Durga Ashtottara Satanamavali and Sarvamangalam.
These are tuned in a spiritual rhythm and recited by Dr. R. Thiagarajan, the Head of the Post graduate P. Bhaktavatsalam, and Sri P. Jagadessa Bhat with the technical support of the famous Music Director Sri Manikkavinayakam.
