A text in praise of the valour of the Divine Mother. This edition is specially designed for chanting. The Devi Mahatmyam text is in Sanskrit with running English translation, so that either may be read without a break. Brief explanatory footnotes are added.
Be brave! Be strong! Be fearless! Once you have taken up the spiritual life, fight as long as there is any life in you. Even though you know you are going to be killed, fight till you are killed. Don't die of fright. Die fighting. Don't go down till you are knocked down.
-Swami Vivekananda
