The book is an elaborate version of the basic manthra ‘Navakshari Manthram’. The ancient saints considered Durgasapthasati as the body of the Goddess and ‘Navakshari Manthram’ as her soul. The manthra brings success in life and moksha at the end of it.
Devi Mahatmyam is a Mantra containing 700 slokas about Goddess Durga and is a part of the Markandeya Purana, one of the 18 important puranas of Hinduism.
As the mantra is considered exhilarating it is widely chanted in all temples dedicated to the Devi. This mantra is believed to have several mysterious meanings and interpretations.
‘Om…Sarvamangalamangalye Sive Sarvartha Sathike Saranye Thrayambike Gauri Narayani Namosthuthe…’ the most important manthra in the ‘Devimahatmyam,’ which is familiar all over the Indian sub-continent, and which helps one to attain the favours of Durga is given in the ‘Devimahatmyam.’
Devimahatmyam is used as Sthothram, devotional text as well as manthram during rituals like homam. The ‘Argalasthothram’ of Devimahatmyam contains mantras like “roopam dehi jayam dehi yaso dehi dwisho jahi“ which says that a true devotee can ask anything of the Durga.
Regular recital brings relief from sickness, a good career, happy family, good descendants and wealth. A person can certainly enjoy good health and a long life if he chants these slokas regularly, after understanding its meaning.
Dr. B.C. Balakrishnan gives his interpretation step by step touching all important parts like the Navangam including Nyasa, Avahanam etc., the Pradama Charitham which includes Madhukaidabhavadham, Madhyama Charitham, which covers two to four chapters of Mahishasura-sainya vadham, Mahishasura Vadham and Sakradikalude Sthuthi. Uthama Charitham includes five to 13 chapters of Devidootha Samvadam, Dhoomralochana Vadham, Chandamunda Vadham, Devimahathymyam (special for daily recital), Devimahathmyasthothrashtakam and Sapthasloki Durga.
The Sanskrit text written in Malayalam script with Malayalam commentary makes the book easily understandable.
