Description In January 2012, Swami Niranjananada initiated a new sadhana at Ganga Darshan: the invocation of the Cosmic Goddess in the form of Mother Katyayani, the peace-bestowing force. Every morning, havan is performed and the ashram reverberates with the sound of invocatory chants, the thousand names of Ma Katyayani, and victory and protection mantras. The sadhana is a three-year sankalpa for the sannyasa training participants and is being performed under the aegis of Sannyasa Peeth This book contains the Stotras used in the Sadhana, selected by Swami Niranjanananda. In the “Introduction”, Swamiji explains the purpose of the Sadhan, and the articles by Swami Sivananda and Swami Satyananda are closer to the Mother Principle. The original verses in Devanagari and Roman transliteration are provided.
