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.
Some people are so afraid of losing their individuality. Wouldn't it be better for the pig to lose his pig-individuality if he can become God? Yes. But the poor pig does not think so at the time. Which state is my individuality? When I was a baby sprawling on the floor trying to swallow my thumb? Was that the individuality I should be sorry to lose? Fifty years hence I shall look upon this present state and laugh, just as I now look upon the baby state. Which of these individualities shall I keep?
-Swami Vivekananda
