The Divine Mother’s Knowledge and Message has flourished and continues to flourish all over the world. Even today, the Great Hymn of Praise, that is the Devīmāhātmya, also known as ‘Durga Saptashati’ reveals to us an all-embracing vision of harmony between the Mahādevi’s Abiding Earthly Presence and the Transcendental Unity Proclaimed by seers throughout the ages.

About sixteen centuries, or more, since composition, The Devīmāhātmya still shines as a beacon from a primordial age when men and women, enchanted by nature’s beauty and abundance, yet terrified by fierce, destructive power, honoured The Source of Creation as The Great Divine Mother. The Devīmāhātmya’s profound teachings are literal, symbolic, philosophical, scientific, and reveals secrets of the Universe which modern science is only coming to discover, often unavoidably more technical.

Some of the most difficult passages occur at the meditation on Mahākālī and the opening mantra invoking the Divine Mother as Caṇḍikā.

The Devi Mahatmya enshrines many an ancient memory in the resounding cadences of the verses and continues to sing the Divine Mother’s Glory.

As the last open expressions of Goddess-Centered religions were vanishing from the Western world, The Devīmāhātmya took shape on the more tolerant soils of Mother India, where the Traditions worshipping and honouring The Divine Mother flourished and continues to flourish.

On one level, The Devīmāhātmya is an Allegory of the Spiritual Journey; on another, a Blueprint of the Soul.
