bhūṃ maṅgalāyai namaḥ भूँ मङ्गलायै नमः
This very form of Maa Vanadurgā has been the Mūla Dhyānam since ancient times. While she is widely known as Vanadurgā, Banadurgā, Ban Durgā, Viṣṇudurgā, Nārāyaṇī, Ban Devī, or simply Vana Devī, in the South, she is specifically worshipped in this form as Chenchu Lakṣmī
—the Śakti of Narasiṁha.
In different regions, she is also revered as Bhagavatī (or Bhagavathy in Kerala, Bhagabati in Odisha), Koṟṟavai (Kotravai) in the Tamil tradition, each name echoing the same supreme feminine divinity in a unique cultural tone.
Vanadurgā is also revered as Śrī Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī Pratyaṅgirā.
After slaying Hiraṇyakaśipu, when Śrī Narasiṁha’s fury did not subside,
it was Maa Lakṣmī—in the form of Maa Vanadurgā—who calmed him.
Paramā Devī Vanadurgā,
being His primordial Śakti,
is therefore known as
Stambheśvarī
—or, as the formless vastness,
Khamveśvarī
The origin of tribal worship of
the Divine Mother
in nature traces back
to the ancient cult of
Stambheśvarī.
The worship of the pillar,
though popularly associated with Puruṣottama,
has its roots in a far more ancient saga.
Since time immemorial,
Nīla Mādhava has been worshipped
together with Maa Vanadurgā by the tribal communities
specifically by the Sābara king Viśvāvasu.
Even today, these two deities
continue to be jointly venerated among tribals.
This tradition predates the later
Durgā Mādhava upāsanā,
which arose after the sacred neem log
—the Dāru Brahma was discovered and
carved into the divine forms of
Śrī Balabhadra, Śrī Mā Subhadrā,
Śrī Jagannātha, and Śrī Sudarśana.
Parama Īśvara is known as
the Caturdhā Mūrti
—the collective (samaṣṭi-rūpa)
embodiment of the four deities.
In a similar manner, Mahālakṣmī
revered as Nārāyaṇī, Durgā, or Caṇḍī
is the samaṣṭi-rūpa of
Mahākālī, Mahālakṣmī, and Mahāsarasvatī.
Indeed, in essence even an uncarved,
elongated log of wood
continues to be worshipped
as
Kāṭhī Ṭhākurāṇī
in the ancient Śakti Pīṭhas of Utkala
—most notably in the temples of Bhagavatī and Virajāmbikā.
To this day, the tradition of offering
reverential salutations (namana) to the pillar
remains a living, sacred practice in many homes and temples.
The worship of Nāgas and Mānasā Devī
is particularly prevalent in regions
where Vanadurgā upāsanā
was historically practiced.
At the very heart of this tradition
lies the region now known as
the Sundarbans,
where the deity is today venerated
as Bonbibī
—a name derived from
Vandevī or Bandevī.
In a similar evolution,
Satya Nārāyaṇa came to be known
as Satya Pīr
—a reflection not of religious transformation,
but of linguistic and cultural shifts
in modes of reverence.
Yet at its core,
the worship has always remained
that of
Puruṣottama & Vanadurgā
The form of Durgā depicted riding
the Royal Bengal Tiger is,
in fact,
none other than Vanadurgā,
for she is primarily known as
Mahābala Vyāghra-rūḍhā
—the One who rides the Royal Bengal Tiger.
yatra yatra viṣṇoḥ
pāda-padmam adhiśritam,
tatra tatra vanadurgā
śāradātmikāṁ śritam॥
Vanadurgā is revered as Parama Prakṛti—the Mūlaprakṛti, the primordial essence and fundamental nature of existence.
Mā Vana-Durgā, also revered as Mā Vandevī.
Vanadurgā is known as the Adi-Bhagavatī, the Primordial Bhagavatī.
She is the Mūla-Prakṛti —the Supreme Primordial Nature.
Mā Sītā herself is known as Mā Vandevī.
While she is referred to as "Vana" due to her connection with forests, she is far more than a dweller of the woods.
She is the forest itself, the life force nurturing countless divine manifestations, each celebrated by sacred names.
Alone Bhakti is the key to get the grace of Maa Vana Durga.
If you desire to do sadhana, your mental chitta suddhi must be of a kid who just seeks the mother's grace.
The Ghantā of Ghanteśvarī
As per Odisha’s folklore, one day, as Maa Vanadurgā was playing with peacocks in the forest, a thorn pierced her foot.
At that very moment, Purūṣottama Viṣṇu Himself descended to gently remove it.
Witnessing this sight, Brahmā and Śiva stood in awe.
Śiva, overcome with delight, saw in this moment the unfathomable depth of love that the Supreme Purusha held for the One who resides in the wilderness.
With playful reverence, Brahmā teased Viṣṇu, saying,
'Ah! Finally, even you are at a woman's feet!
Nitya Upāsanā – Prathama Cāraṇa
 Vana Durgā Nitya Upāsanā |  Vana Durga Mahastuti |  When one embarks on the path of Shakti worship, the dhyana (meditation) must be wholly focused on her sacred Pādukās. It is the ultimate realization a seeker attains. Mere reading or intellectual understanding is not enough; one must journey to the temple of the Self through Tapasya and Sadhana. |
|---|---|---|
 When we want to start sadhana of any God, it is important to first worship the GURU PADUKA. It is alone GURU, who first shows the PATH towards The Temple of God, whom we SEEK. |  The most important element of worship in Vana Durga or Devi worship is Vahana worship. First he should be worshipped with equal amount of faith & surrender. |  Include this in your nitya tapas.. |
In this first movement of daily worship
— the Pādukā Cāraṇa
— we invoke the grace of Bhagavatī
through a sacred hymn dedicated to Her Pādukās.
The sequence begins with Vana Durgā Mahā Dhyānam
— a deep meditation centered on Her divine Pādukās.
This is followed by Śrī Devī Vana Durgā Mahā Pādukā Divya Stavam,
a hymn of remembrance (smaraṇam) offered to Her sacred feet.
Next, we offer praise to Her vāhana
— the devoted bearer of Śakti upon his shoulders
— through the Vana Durgā Vāhana Stuti.
Finally, we conclude with Vana Durgā Mahāstuti,
also known as Śrī Devī Vanālaṅkāraṃ Stuti,
a grand hymn glorifying the Goddess
in Her forest-enshrined splendour.
This Mahāstuti may be recited either at the beginning or at the end of the upāsanā
— let the heart guide its placement in your sādhanā.
 Nārāyaṇī —The Śakti Lakṣmī, the primordial name of Śakti, is revealed in the Sītā Upaniṣad as Trivarṇā—the Divine in three eternal modes: Śrī, Bhū, and Nīlā. These correspond to the three cosmic powers, icchā (will), jñāna (knowledge), and kriyā (action), through which the Absolute manifests, sustains, and nourishes the universe. This Trivarṇā Lakṣmī is the core of our Vidyā. We can suffix or prefix - Mahā, Parā or whatever, core always remains Lakṣmī whom we worship as Śrī Vanadurgā Mahāvidyā |

Nitya Upāsanā – Dvitīya Ārādhanā Bindu
 Śrī Devī Ākāśavānī Vanadurgā Ārādhanā Laharī is a wave of worship offered to the Ādi Bhagavatī — Mā Vanadurgā. This sacred work now weaves together : — the Dhyāna-Stutiḥ, a meditative hymn that unveils the Devī’s form in serene splendor, — the Ārādhanā Laharī, a stotra of flowing devotion, pouring forth from the heart, — the Ākāśavānī, the divine voice received within, as grace and revelation. |  “Ārādhanā Laharī” (Wave of Worship) expresses how this hymn is not just a prayer but a continuous flow of devotion, much like the unbroken waves of divine remembrance that rise from the soul and merge into the presence of the goddess. Each verse, each invocation, surges forth like an oceanic tide—invoking, praising, and surrendering to Vanadurga’s supreme grace. This hymn is a living experience of Bhakti—where every breath, every utterance, and every offering is dedicated to Vanadurga. |  The term “Ākāśavāṇī” (Celestial Voice) signifies the divine message—an unspoken yet resounding call from the divine herself, experienced in the depths of devotion. The Ākāśavānī of the Goddess must be recited only after the recitation of the Vanadurgā Ārādhanā Laharī. Without the union of both,the offering remains incomplete. |
|---|---|---|
 This Śrī Vanadurgā Bhagavatī Devī Dhyāna-Stutiḥ was composed by the blessings of Goddess Pullamveli Amma Śrī Bālābhadrā Devī. This Dhyāna-Stutiḥ arises not as a separate composition, but as the inner flame that illumines both the Ārādhanā Laharī and the Ākāśavānī. |  The 108 Divine Names of the Supreme Goddess Vanadurgā. This Nāmāvalī is also known as Śrī Devī Aṣṭottaraśatanāmāvalī श्रीदेव्यष्टोत्तरशतनामावली. |  Śrī Jānakī Stuti by Śrī Añjanēya Svāmi is a timeless and profoundly beautiful composition dedicated to the Supreme Primordial Mother. Much like the Śrī Devi Aparādha Kṣamāpaṇa Stotram, this stuti serves as a heartfelt means of seeking forgiveness. However, its essence goes beyond that—it facilitates complete surrender while invoking kṣamā (forgiveness), one of the most precious gifts granted to a seeker, both as a jīva and as a bhakta. |
 Vanadurgā Vidyā, also known as Triveṇī Vidyā, was known to me, and received by me, only through the blessings of my Guru Mā Śāradā Devī. |  Prakṛtiṁ Paramāṁ — the Hymn to my Guru Maa, Śrī Śāradā Devī composed by Swāmī Abhedānanda — is a compulsory stuti for all who seek this Vidyā. This sacred Vidyā was revealed to me solely through the grace of Śrī Śāradā Devī and Śrī Rāmakṛṣṇa Bhagavān; therefore only those who hold unshakable faith and devotion toward my Guru can truly receive its blessing. |  Śrī Āñjaneya is the prathama guru in our Trivenī Vidyā. He is the embodiment of devotion, the embodiment of courage, the true sthita-prajña — the one who never seeks glory for himself, but only for the One he serves. |
|---|---|---|
 a humble offering to the mother of supreme devotion (parābhakti). |  For those who tread the sacred path of Mā Vanadurgā, there is one stotram that must become a companion of your heart and breath. This stotra is not just a prayer — it is a lifeline. You do not require elaborate kavacas in your sādhana. |  Pīṭha-sthāpana Mantra sauḥ bhāgyalakṣmī ramāpīṭhāya namaḥ सौः भाग्यलक्ष्मी रमापीठाय नमः |
 Vanadurgā Nāma Mantra |  This is that dhvani — the living pulse, my own hidden treasure. It was my only possession. The only thing that truly belonged to me. |  śrīguruḥ svayaṁ śrīrāmanātham, śrīviṣṇupādaṁ viśvanāthanātham॥ |

 namaḥ haṃ saḥ । namaḥ haṃ sauḥ । ... |  Root mantra for the worship of Śrī Vanadurgāmbikā: śaraṇye sāraṇye nīlāraṇye mahābālābhadrāyai sarvabhayanāśinyai abhayavaradāyinyai oṁ vanadurgāparamāyai namaḥ शरण्ये सारण्ये नीलारण्ये महाबालाभद्रायै सर्वभयनाशिन्यै अभयवरदायिन्यै ॐ वनदुर्गापरमायै नमः |  This is the sacred Nāmāvali of Śrī Aṣṭabhuji Vanadurgāparāṃbikā, the Primordial and Eternal Mahāvidyā, revered as the Supreme Parā Vaiṣṇavī Śakti. |
 The “108 Names of Śrī Aṣṭabhuji Vanadurgāparāṃbikā” is a collection of divine names for the eight-armed form of the Goddess Vanadurga |  It is especially for those seekers of Mā Vanadurgā those who hold fast to the Name Bhagavatī. |  This Bhagavatī Nāmāvaliḥ is for those seekers and devotees of Mā Vanadurgā who hold fast to the name 'Bhagavatī' as their chosen deity's name. It will aid them in their focus and ārādhana. |
|---|---|---|
 The Vanadurgā Mahāmantra is drawn from the Vanadurgā Upaniṣad, distilled to retain only what is essential for inner worship (antaraṅga upāsanā). This compilation is not intended for outward display or ritualistic grandeur; rather, it is designed to fortify the sādhaka’s inner connection with the Goddess. |  |  |
 When worship reaches its fullness, its fruits transcend ritual obligation. You will never need to offer piṇḍa-dāna — not because tradition is rejected, but because bondage itself is dissolved at its root. Through your sādhana, your parents are freed from latent ties, their consciousness uplifted to a higher plane — not by rites performed for them, but by the power of what you become. And you will meet your Guru — not by seeking, not by chance, but by inevitability. |  In this series, I will guide you into understanding the true tendencies (guṇas) that define your inherent nature. Merely being born in a Brāhmaṇa family does not grant anyone the right to claim Brāhmaṇatva. The lineage of the body is irrelevant if the lineage of qualities is absent. Likewise: If your blood does not ignite when you hear absurd, distortive interpretations of the Divine Mother from self-styled “tantrikas,” — then know this clearly — you are not ready to walk this Path. (soon...) |  The Bilva Vṛkṣa and Bilva Vana are sacred to Mā Lakṣmī — they mark Her presence, Her abode, Her subtle footprint on the land. In the same way, for a sādhaka walking the austere path of Mā Vanadurgā, there appears a distinct chihna — a sign that the penance is aligned, accepted, and moving on the true trajectory. That sign is the Abījā Tulasī — a Tulasī that arises from nowhere, sprouting unseeded, untouched by human planting, appearing solely through the unseen sanction of the Mother. (soon..) |
|---|---|---|
 This entire Ārādhana is meant for a seeker of Bhagavatī who longs either for Sva-Guru or for the darśanam of Bhagavatī Herself. But before you walk this path, you must understand two crucial points: Do you truly seek this? Do you truly understand what you are asking for? This is important because, for an ordinary seeker, the careless assumptions of half-drunk sādhakas have already distorted much of Adhyātma. Imagine I write: “You, the seeker, are an orphan.” How would you feel? (Soon...) |
 This Nārāyaṇī Stutiḥ is for the worship of Śrī Vanadurgāparāṃbikā |  This Nārāyaṇī Hṛdaya Mālā is derived from the Śrīlakṣmīnārāyaṇasaṃhitā’s Śrīlakṣmī Nāmāvalī Stotram, along with select portions of the Śrī Atharvaṇa Rahasya’s Lakṣmī Hṛdaya Stotram. Only those names have been retained which are especially suited for seekers of Mā Vanadurgā who choose the name of “Nārāyaṇī” as their primary ārādhana mārga. |  This Nārāyaṇī Nāmāvali is drawn from the Śrīlakṣmīnārāyaṇasaṃhitāyāṃ Śrīlakṣmīnāmāvalīstotram & Śrīatharvaṇarahasye Śrīlakṣmīhṛdayastotraṃ. While there exists an immense treasure of stotras and nāmavalis for Śrī Lakṣmī—whether as Kamalā, Padmāvatī, or other forms—this particular collection holds a rare and special charm for seekers of Maa Vanadurgā, especially those whose hearts beat with deep devotion at the very sound of the name “Nārāyaṇī.” |
|---|---|---|
 Parā Śrīdevī is none other than Śrī Lakṣmī herself. This sacred collection of 108 names (nāmāvalī) is presented here, to serve as a means for profound internal sādhana. |  sarvamaṅgalamāṅgalye śive sarvārthasādhike । śaraṇye tryambake devī nārāyaṇī namo'stu te ॥ nārāyaṇī namo'stu te ॥ nārāyaṇī namo'stu te ॥ |  Oṁ Namo Bhagavatī Raktaṁ Pīṭhaṁ Namaḥ ॐ नमो भगवती रक्तं पीठं नमः This ancient mantra is dedicated to sincere seekers of Mā Vanadurgā who aspire to receive the divine grace of Mā Bhagavatī. It is for those whose hearts are moved to reverence at the mere utterance of her sacred name. |
 Parā Śrīdevī Lakṣmī Mahāmantra: śrīṁ śrīyai namaḥ svāhā श्रीं श्रीयै नमः स्वाहा |  ॥ अतिसुन्दरसूक्तम् ॥ |  The following passage is drawn from the Vana Durgā Kalpa, Second Paṭala, which describes the worship of Śrī Vanadurgā after the sacred pūrṇāhuti and pradakṣiṇā. Here, the devotee, filled with humility, offers a prārthanā — a heartfelt prayer seeking forgiveness, fulfillment, and the unceasing grace of Parameśvarī. |

 Vanadurgā Saptatriṃśatī Nāmāvalīḥ, a litany of thirty-seven divine names revealing the many forms and powers of Śrī Vanadurgā Parāmbikā |  This stotram is by our Guru, Śrī Añjaneya, and it is a must for ārādhana towards Maa Vanadurgā. |  The highest form in which we worship our Goddess Vanadurgā |
 That Encounter |  The following hymn, traditionally known as the Vanadurgā Mahāvidyā Stotram, is a profound revelation attributed to the Primordial Īśvara. Its essence was realized through deep contemplation by the Kirāta-form of Īśvara. This Mahāvidyā is cherished by all the Mātṛkā-Śaktis, for it arises from the sacred matrix of the Mātṛkā akṣaras—the primordial syllables from which the universe unfolds. |  oṃ śrīṃ hrīṃ aiṃ klīṃ namo viṣṇu-vallabhāyai mahāmāyāyai kaṃ khaṃ gaṃ ghaṃ ṅaṃ namaste namaste māṃ pāhi pāhi rakṣa rakṣa dhanaṃ dhānyaṃ śriyaṃ samṛddhiṃ dehi dehi śrīṃ śriyai namaḥ svāhā |

Tears must arise simply upon hearing the name of one’s Īṣṭa Devatā.
That is the true fruit of ārādhanā — not rituals alone,
but the heart that melts over lifetimes to finally weep for the Beloved.
Ārādhanā has been performed across countless births just to awaken those tears
— where love becomes bhakti,
and bhakti becomes union.
This section of the work focuses on the inner method of ārādhanā
— how to worship Mā Vanadurgā with a heart undistracted and wholly offered.
With the revelation of Ākāśavānī — the voice from the vast ether
— the principles of tattva become clear,
anchoring the sādhaka in one-pointed devotion.
Thus, this composition is named:
Śrī Devī Ākāśavānī Vanadurgā Ārādhanā Laharī
With the recent addition of the
Śrī Vanadurgā Mahātmikām Dhyāna Stutiḥ,
it forms the bridge — the sandhi, the inner threshold —
that connects the longing of ārādhanā
to the descent of ākāśavānī.
 The primordial name of Śakti is Lakṣmī. That same Lakṣmī is Trivarṇā—Her nature expressed in three eternal aspects: Śrī, Bhūmi, and Nīlā. Even when She is addressed as Mahālakṣmī, She remains that one, undivided Lakṣmī alone. Every stream of Vidyā ultimately culminates in the worship of Her Parā-form. Vanadurgā is non-different from this very Lakṣmī. Indeed, Lakṣmī—also known as Bhagavatī—is Herself Vanadurgā; this truth is illuminated through Triveṇī-Vidyā. |

 The Hymn of the Hundred and Eight Auspicious Names of Śrī Saubhāgya Lakṣmī |  The Thousand Names of Saubhāgyalakṣmī |  The list of 108 names of Aṣṭalakṣmī is indispensable in this Saubhāgyalakṣmī-Vidya. In addition to this, when one recites the Śrī Prasannavaradā Śrīlakṣmī Stotram, one is in fact directly offering worship to Mother Vanadurgā herself— in her most auspicious, gentle, and benevolent aspect. |

 To attempt an introduction to this magnum opus is, frankly, to strike one’s own head with one’s shoes. Such is the rarity and exalted brilliance of this work that even gathering one’s thoughts about it feels inadequate. What I can offer, however, is the lived experience—what each complete recitation generates within the sādhaka. By the time you finish a single full recitation, you will almost certainly feel the need for a smoke, or a strong tea, or at least a heavy, satisfying meal. |  This work is an offering of nectar drawn from the boundless grace of the Divine, illuminating the essence of jīvanam (life), Bhagavat-smaraṇam (remembrance of the Supreme), and Bhagavatī-sevā (devotional service to the Goddess). Through a sacred hymn, it seeks to glorify the lotus feet of Bhagavān and Bhagavatī—the eternal source from which the seen and unseen, the moving and unmoving universe finds its rhythm and sustenance. |  It reveals Truth as it is—the path for those who, having attained Self-realization, live only to exhaust their prārabdha, while abiding in love for the Divine Mother. |
 108 names of Mā Bhrāmarī |  oṃ śrī guru dattātreyāya namaḥ ॐ श्रीगुरुदत्तात्रेयाय नमः |  Anaghatva is a small compendium that gathers the Ṣoḍaśanāma (16 names) and Aṣṭottaraśatanāma (108 names) of Śrī Datta Svāmī along with Śrī Anaghādevī. It also includes the revered Śrī Datta Mālāmantra. |

 In this section, I will offer simple yet powerful pointers on how you can align yourself by understanding and working with your own nakṣatra. By tuning into its innate śakti and guidance, you will find greater clarity and support in the upāsanā of your Iṣṭa-Devatā. This alignment can help you immensely on your path. |  This section concerns the intimate relationship between our Mother and our Divine Father, Śrīman Nārāyaṇa. Ārādhana on the path of Parā-Bhakti must arise from bhāva. For such worship, the mind must be cleansed of the noise and confusion created by merely reading many tantra texts without proper grounding. One must return to the fundamentals taught by the Primordial Guru — the Virāṭ Vedavyāsa. His principles are the bedrock upon which true devotion is built. (Upcoming Work) |
Here is revealed the Triveṇī Sūtra of Triveṇī Vidyā, along with the Vanadurgā Triśatī and the
Mahāpadmayugala Caraṇāmṛtam Mahāparāyaṇam
— also be known as Vanadurgā Mahāparāyaṇam.
In this final flow, the invocation is offered to both of our Divine Parents,
making this a Yugala Mahāparāyaṇam
— a supreme recitation in devotion to the Divine Couple.
While the Triveṇī Sūtra may not lay out step-by-step guidance,
its essence becomes clear through the other works in this collection
— and those previously revealed above.
It weaves itself into your understanding as
you immerse in the full current of this Upāsanā,
flowing like the sacred confluence it is named for.

Based on That encounter — where Rāma stilled Rāma, and the arrow turned inward, which led Parashurāma to Dattātreya, and we got the magnificent — Tripurā Rahasya (Upcoming Work) |  Vanadurgā Mahābhāratī is inspired by the Devī Māhātmyam — that most revered and timeless scripture, universally upheld as the quintessential text for Devī worship across the ages. (Upcoming Work) |  Bhagavatī The first, primordial name of Lakṣmī — the innate Śakti of Śrīman Nārāyaṇa. In this series on Bhagavatī, I will present her manifestations such as Mārīkāmbā, Mahāmārī, Bhadrakālī, Śītalā, and many others. This will support you in developing a steady and one-pointed sādhana toward your chosen deity. Sādhana becomes truly fruitful only when the fundamentals are clear — when the foundation is firm.

 The PAṆḌITĀ is based on our Mother who from the tag of Vidyā becomes a Paṇḍitā when it comes to Father. And not just any Paṇḍitā, a proper Dakṣiṇa Bhārata Brāhmaṇa Paṇḍitā. Like in books we read she is Supreme, etc. Fact is, she never sits on the throne. This series will not be fictional nor based on Purāṇas. These are direct learnings, which helped me in my own sādhanā. (Upcoming Work) |  Why an ārādhānā must be grounded in a vidyā. In Tantra this is known as Krama. Even in the path of BHAKTI upāsanā, Śrī Vedavyāsa ji—has given every essential teaching through the Purāṇas. The term Rasāyana actually arises from Rāma-Rasāyana, which is possessed by Añjaneya Svāmi. What this Rasāyana truly is, and what has been given by Him and by the great Ṛṣi Vālmīki, I shall explain—for it is directly connected with our own upāsanā of the Mother, Mā Vanadurgā. ( Upcoming Work ) |  Mādhava is one of the sacred names of Ādi Nārāyaṇa. Another name of the same meaning is Śrīvallabha. Both these names point to a single truth: He who is the beloved of Lakṣmī. What is particularly beautiful is that He is known through these very names—Mādhava and Śrīvallabha—only because of His eternal union with Mahālakṣmī. These names arise from affection, intimacy, and divine relationship. They are not titles of power; they are names one calls a being out of love. (Upcoming Work) |
This section contains two key revelations:
Vanadurgā Carita Caraṇam Citram
— a visionary portrayal of Her divine feet and path,
inspired by the Tripura Rahasya
Vanadurgā Mahābhāratī
— drawn from the spirit of the Devī Māhātmyam
These are not tales of battles or asuras, nor merely stories of events.
Instead, they attempt to sketch a glimpse
— a Citra
— of Her Vastness,
Her Virāṭ-rūpa,
the cosmic form of Mā Bhagavatī.
Here, Carita is not linear narrative,
but darśana — a sighting.
These works help the sādhaka to sense the immeasurable reach of Her being,
beyond form and yet present in every form.
Nitya Darśana – Bhagavatī Hṛdaya Darśana
 Vanadurgā Pañcatantra is a poetic symphony woven in the form of ślokas, where the vast Mahārāṇyam (Great Forest) breathes with divine tales. Here, animals converse with plants, rivers murmur to the trees, and the wind carries sacred whispers—all speaking of Vanadurgā, the resplendent Queen of the wilderness. Through these enchanting dialogues, wisdom, devotion, and timeless values unfold, inviting children, elders, and devotees into a world where nature itself sings the glories of the Divine. |  This work is not born merely of a child’s imagination, but of a seeker’s inner vision — who, upon seeing the Devatā in her every reflected form (prati-svarūpa), speaks to those who shed silent tears at the very name of Mā Vanadurgā. (Upcoming Work) |  Taking the seekers of Maa Vanadurgā, like Smriti did in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, I will show you and guide you towards the abodes of Her— It's OUR Home Tour—where Her sacred lotus feet have blessed us, Her bhaktas, to receive Her blessings. (Upcoming Work) |

 This series is an attempt to sketch the ati-madhura prema—the supremely sweet love—that the Kirātarūpadhara Antaryāmī Nārāyaṇa Īśvara holds for Mā Vanadurgā. Normally, people think only of the Rāsa-līlā or Gopī-dance when it comes to Viṣṇu. For most, imagination stops at “Kṛṣṇa = Viṣṇu.” But the shade of the Primordial Īśvara is far more intense. He is silent. He is calm. He is ruthless. He is completely, fiercely serious when it comes to our Mother, Mā Vanadurgā. (Upcoming..) |  mahāṛṣi-atripatnyāḥ mahāsatyā anasūyāyāḥ dṛṣṭāntaḥ Śrī Mātā Anasūyā is not merely the wife of the great Atri, one among the ancient Saptarishis. She is the mother of Śrī Datta Bhagavān — the sacred womb that brought forth Nārāyaṇa Himself. The most crucial teaching associated with her comes not through formal instruction, but through the power of her own example. In the following pages, I will reflect upon that teaching and present my understanding of its deeper meaning. (Upcoming Work) |  viṣapāyī amṛtadātā Based on the Primordial Rudra — the lone supreme being who alone can transform poison into nectar, who drinks the poison Himself and distributes only nectar to the worlds. (Upcoming Work) |
In this final stream of vision, the sādhaka turns inward
— from the cosmic vastness of Her Vīraṭa-svarūpa
to the tender nearness of Her Hṛdaya-darśana,
the revelation of Her heart.
Two works arise in this section:
Vanadurgā Pañcatantra
– where the paśus — the beings of the forest
— speak, reveal, and whisper what the humans could not.
Through their tales, gestures, and silences,
the Mahāraṇyam becomes a sentient scripture.
The forest breathes Her name.
Vanadurgā Rūpa-Cihna
– a subtle unveiling of Her form,
which is usually veiled by the vast sārī that enwraps the entire universe.
Here, in glimpses, we behold Her reflected self
— prati-svarūpa
— through the ripple of leaves,
the curve of a river, the tremble of longing.
This is the Hṛdaya-darśana
— where one no longer seeks Her outside,
nor imagines Her afar.
She is seen in every form,
felt in every silence,
and known through every breath.
This webpage is for all compostions and work I have started through the boundless blessings of my Swa Guru, Maa Sharada Ramakrishnaaya, without whose grace this offering would not have been possible. I remain forever nothing without their divine guidance.
