The Supreme Mother Kāmākshi
A mother gives birth to children, feeds and raises them lovingly. Hence, the Vedas say “Mathru Devoh Bhava,” meaning a mother should be praised as an incarnation of God. If this is such a high status of a woman who gave us this human body and nurtured it, how can we even quantify the stature and divinity of the Sarveshwari the Supreme Divine Mother, Kāmākshi?
In the Tamil book “Devathin Kural” (Voice of God), Kānchi Mahā Periyavā (the 68th Sankaracharya of Kānchi Kāmakoti Peetam) has described about the uniqueness of Sanāthana Dharma, the richness of our culture, the structures and forms of various Gods, a vivid explanation of the Vedas, and the philosophical truths in a simple language that can be easily understood by a layman. This book is indeed a treasure hunt of Vedic knowledge. However, in today’s busy world, it is not an easy task to read this voluminous book and many may not find enough time to review the book. So, I took the initiative to pick a few of Mahā Periyavā’s discourses on Mother Kāmākshi that collates into a beautiful floral garland and bring the information in the form of this small easy-to-read book.
With utmost humble pranāms to the Divine Lotus feet of Poojyashri Kānchi Mahā Periyavā, I am extremely happy to present this book, titled “Kāmākshi-The Divine Mother.” Please use the following link to access the book in English and Tamil.
