dṛṣṭā devī
The Goddess as Witnessed/Experienced.
Dedicated to My Parama Guru Maa,Sri Aṣṭabhuji Mata Maa Sarada.
A Donkey Can Also Think & Write, By Her Grace.
A Dṛśya Kāvya, also can be known as Vana Devi Darśana Stuti.
Śrī Devī Vanālaṅkāraṃ Stuti
A Stuti dedicated to Mā Vana-Durgā, also revered as Mā Vandevī.
Vanadurgā is known as the Adi-Bhagavatī, the Primordial Bhagavatī.
She is Parama-Prakṛti, 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.
This Stuti transcends being a mere tribute; it is a heartfelt act of devotion, intricately woven into these verses.
This composition is a humble offering to my Guru, Śrī Śārada-Rāmakṛṣṇāya, born of the divine grace of Śrī Rāmakṛṣṇa Paramahaṁsa and Śrī Mā Śāradā.
It stands solely by the boundless blessings of my revered Swa-Guru; without that grace, I am nothing, and this work would not have seen the light.
