The
Dev
i Mahatmya
is one of the most important texts in Hinduism and forms part of the
Markandeya Purana
. It is also one of the oldest texts in the world dealing with a Goddess-based Spiritual Tradition. The
Devi Mahatmya
tells us the story of a disillusioned king, a merchant in despair, and a sage whose wisdom guides them to knowledge and salvation. The sage does this by revealing to them the three glorious victories achieved by the Goddess over the asura forces. Raghupati Bhatt's latest book
tells us
How the Great Mother Goddess Emerged
and
how She keeps on emerging to save us
. He also includes an introduction, subsidiary texts, and notes to assist the reader.
