Kali Puja

Amba Amba Taye

The chanting of the Devī Mahātyam requires preparation and rigorous training not only on chanting quality but also on the protocols to be followed before, during & after chanting. These three chants referred to as the Tryaṅgam are required to be recited before Devi Mahātmyam pārāyaṇa.

02 Argala Stotram

In the 5th chapter of the Devī Mahātmyam, the inspiring hymn yā devī saravabhūteṣu is presented. In this adoration, the devā-s offer salutations again and again, to the Devī who is in all beings as consciousness, intelligence, sleep, hunger, contemplation, power, forgiveness, modesty, peace, commitment, good fortune, compassion, contentment, error etc. 

Recited following Sanskrit chandas (Anuṣṭup meter), in a simple non-musical way.

Yā Devī Sarva Bhūteṣu

Narasiṃha is the fourth incarnation of Lord Viṣṇu in the Daśāvatāra, the unmistakable and fierce (ugra) manifestation as part lion & part man. The story of Prahlāda, the slaying of Hiraṇyakaśipu and restoration of dharma is the context behind this powerful “kavacam” – a genre of prayer that effectuates an armour to shield the devotee from harm and negative forces.
