Dhyan Divine Mother (Shakti)

About

Devi Dhyanam comprises powerful meditation verses for contemplating the Divine Mother in her various magnificent forms. These shlokas describe the Goddess as Durga the invincible warrior, Lakshmi the bestower of prosperity, Saraswati the giver of wisdom, and Lalita Tripurasundari the supreme beauty of the three worlds. The dhyana verses portray her cosmic form - multiple arms holding divine weapons, seated on her lion or lotus, radiating divine light. Through meditation on these forms, devotees awaken the dormant Shakti within, gain protection from negative forces, and receive the Mother's infinite grace and blessings.
