For those who are not conversant with the liturgical language Sanskrit or find it difficult to comprehend its nuances but are desirous to recite the Durga Saptashati, this is the book one ought to instantly go for without a second thought. Variously referred to as Chandipatha or Devi Mahatmyam, or Chandi-mahatmya, Sage MarkandeyaâÂÂs Durga Saptashati, composed in Sanskrit between 400-600 CE, though literally a tell-tale account depicting "the magnanimity of the Goddess Durga " is a devotional text wherein the Tridevi as Primordial Creator, Sustainer and Destroyer is extolled. As Chandika, She is ferocious, infuriated, merciless and terrible but as Lakshmi, She is auspicious wealth, fortune, progress and prosperity, the substratum of beauty, wisdom, intelligence, consciousness and volition in all creatures. If you desire to be happy, peaceful, free of physical and mental ailments and protected against natural and man-made calamities and lead a successful life, reciting or just listening to Durga Saptashati with full devotion and concentration shall prove to be the unquestionable divine panacea.
