    Shakti

    Namskar Mitra/Gurujana,

    Hello Again,I am a follower of Goddess Durga.But I want to learn more about Maa Shakti.I mean to say about all the things that Shakti represents.

    I want to know about all the Scriptures that elaborate about Shakti that is Maa Durga and everything.About the Mahavidyas,Matrikas and more.

    So Which Scriptures should I read to learn about the above? It would be of great help if the learned ones can help me...

    Dhanyavad

    Namaste.

    The central scriptures of Shakti Worship are the Devi Bhagavatam (also called Bhagavata Purana) and the Devi Mahatmya (also called Durga Saptashati) which is a part of Markandeya Purana.

    Other important texts are the Kalika Purana, Lalita Sahasranama and Soundarya Lahari (composed by Adi Shankaracharya).

    Pranams.

    Shive Sarvartha Sadhike
    Sharanye Tryambake Gauri
    Narayani Namostute

    Narayani Namostute

    2)
    Om Girijayei Vidmahe
    Shiva Priyayei Dhimahi
    Tanno Durga Prachodayat

    3)
    Om Sri Kathyayanaya vithmahe
Kanyakumaryai theemahi
