Devimahatmayam: In the Praise of the Goddess

by Kali Devadatta

This spritiual classic, written about 16 centuries ago, remains the central text for worshipers of the Hindu Devi, the Divine Mother. The Decimahatmya addresses the perennial questions of the nature of the universe, humankind, and divinity. Written in the form of a narrative of a dispossessed king a merchant betrayed by the family he loves, and a seer, it presents a trilogy of myths concerning the all powerful Divine Mother, Durga. These allegories represent our all-too-human impulses toward power, possessions, and pleasure.
