Thousand names in praise of the Divine Mother. The names are given both in verse form for chanting and listed individually (Namavali) for archana. The text of the meditation, stotra, and Namavali is given in Sanskrit, with transliteration, and English translation. The translation of the Namavali is an extension of an earlier one by D.S. Sharma, who also wrote the extensive introduction.
By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands now, we make ourselves stronger; and improving our strength in this manner step by step, we may reach a state in which it shall be our privilege to do the most coveted and honored duties in life and in society.
-Swami Vivekananda
