I have no words to express, how beautiful this composition of Swami ji is. Not only it invokes extreme love for Mother Goddess, it overflows you with joy and calm. It is a treasure of knowledge and it invokes so much devotion. It tackles such a complex topic spanning across centuries in such a simple and easy manner. I am grateful to Mother Goddess for every speck of my life but I am so grateful for bringing Swami ji's teachings in my life.

This book is a boon to many 1. Spiritual seekers who have faith in God. This book will strengthens their faith to do more Sadhana. 2. Spiritual seekers who are in a 'cat on the wall situation' , whether God's and sages are real or not. This book will instill faith and make them fall in love with the Divine. 3. Anthropologist and evolutionary biologist might take a que or two regarding the various species and their connection with homo sapiens dating back to 2 million years which is mentioned in the first chapter. I don't know if any other well correlated document was ever written! 4. Historians who consider the ancient vedas and other texts as purely mythological. The myth is busted with this book which lucidity explains the way and the life of Neanderthals and other species. [ when I reread the ancient Vishnu purana with the context given in 'The Legend of the Godess ' it sheds a totally different light and perspective and how it might not be a mythology but history as it unfolded]. 5. Astrophysicist can take a que or two where it is mentioned that time is not linear as it is understood in today's day and age but otherwise. And above all these, it is the story behind the emergence of Mother Divine from churning the ocean, the story behind each mantra, how humanity benefits in an evolutionary way with material wealth and opulence with her benediction is simply awesome. If time is not linear, then is it cyclical? Well if you look at the watch or the sun and the solar system it looks cyclical. Similarily the description from the vedas, various yugas and manvantara being cyclical might be valid from a cosmological point of view. But, how to verify it? A scientific verification might be yet unavailable due to infancy of science and technology but a scientific(spiritual) individual experience might be possible. But how? I started with a mantra from the book, as I did the chanting and increased the time, I found something unique. Chanting for half hour everyday for a week or so I realised that half hour of deep mantra chanting felt like ten minutes. How's it possible? When one gets synced with the mantra or due to concentration, the mind stops and when that happens time becomes irrelevant, I guess!?! What to say of Om Swami who can sit in one posture without any movement for 3 days. If one reads his books, 'A Million thoughts' , 'Kundalini' etc one can have an inkling of the conviction with which Om Swami writes about the hidden powers of the soul when the mind is disengaged from the senses. Om Swami is not an ordinary monk who just explains the Vedic scriptures. He is an adept in meditation, he has stopped his heart from beating while being awake and concious. He has walked the path to enlightenment and seen first hand the truth behind the Vedic scriptures and the experiences one can have with focus and concentrated mind. This book is not a theory of what might have transpired but the truth as it happened. It's only possible when he has seen the past in his mind's eye in a superconcious state in meditation. It's impossible otherwise. This book is a gift to mankind, a marvel. He shows at the last chapter different methods to do this Sadhana by which one can receive the grace of The Divine Mother itself. What more can any human ask for, when the road leading to the doors of vaikuntha is well paved with pointers and signboards. He has made the impossible and unthinkable possible . He has given in the 'The Legend of the Godess' how a homo sapien can become immortal!!! Yes, believe it or not this is the book of immortality!!! The book mentions about Sage Bhrigu's astral travel. In Sadhvi Ji's book, 'Om Swami as we know him' She mentions about how Om Swami met her in astral travel. This shows and proves what happened millions of years ago is possible even today with mind control and grace!!! The dialogue between Shiva and Vishnu in various chapters is simply awesome. It's as if it's in real time and how the God's and men lived in Co existence. I would give a Noble price and all the other accolades available in this world to Om Swami not just for literature but also for sharing the secrets of immortality. Having reached the doors of liberation, he could have silently kept it all to himself but with his love and benevolence he has shared it with the whole world for the present as well as for the all the future generation to come. He has shown how homo sapiens can Co exist in a peaceful way with mutual respect and make this world a better place to live in!!! Volumes and volumes can be written on each and every chapter of this book. A million Pranams at the Lotus feet of Om Swami for showering us with his wisdom and the secrets of immortality! Jai Shri Hari!!!🌷🌷🌷🙏🙏🙏

Very beaytifully written. Learnt so much about vedic history and in such an interesting and easy way. Thank you Om Swami ji for letting us to have the opportunity to read this wonderful book!

Best spiritual book I have ever read. Excellent narration of events happing around our seers across time, which contributed in shaping up of Sri Suktam in the present form. My obeisance to Rev. Om Swami to pen this book, which is full of historical facts and devotion. Don't think. Grab this book and read it without any delay.

Complete book on Sri Suktam sadhana with beautiful back stories behind the verses. Really grateful to Swami for this. Besides the stories, the book also contains actionable steps to implement and apply it in our own spiritual journey. The 16th Chapter is really moving and inspires a person to take responsibility of their life. Great work.

The book clearly explores how the Sri Suktam came to life. In the book, you will see the mother goddess from a human lens. One with emotions, love, affection and care loke us. There are chances that you will start to feel a motherly relation with her.

Honored to have this book in my possession. Highly recommended.

Firstly, I offer my gratitude Thank you, Swamiji for this book. This book was a wonderful read, I will be reading it again and again. A detailed description of the Mother Divine with her various aspects—the journey of eons with different sages invoking different verses with different intentions, and receiving blessings and GRACE in return. This scripture uncovers sacred knowledge and the esoteric meaning of "Sri Suktam". I highly recommend this for those who want to know Mother Divine: The Goddess.

"It's hard to be devoted when you don't understand the scale, grandeur, and glory of the object of your devotion" - The Legend of the Goddess. This book is in its purest sense a scriptural commentary. The subject is the unparalleled Sri Suktam from the Rig Veda, a hymn to propitiate Parameshwari Jaganmata (Her Transcendental Majesty, the Divine Mother of creation). Each chapter addresses a verse from the holiest Suktam and contextualises it with the mythological and esoteric background. For anybody wishing to master worship through Sri Suktam, this book is a treasure, a manual. It will awaken feelings of deep devotion and reverence in you, and if you are one of the fortunate few that feel this devotion then it will also teach you how to invoke the Vedic hymn and make it your own. I add most humbly that if the reader is looking primarily for mythological tales of the Goddess then there are other books, more enthralling ones perhaps. This book is ideal for one desirous of practicing the religion of the Vedas. Either simply, in an everyday homely fashion, or with searing austerity like the sages recounted therein. It is a peerless offering to the lovers of God. Read it to know what I mean.

Libro ben scritto, fantastico e profondo. Sto leggendo su kindl. Importante per la preparazione al Sri Suktam Sadhana. Consiglio assolutamente.

This book was so beautifully written that it made me fall in love with Sri Suktham. I’m blessed to have found this book. I was so sad to read the last page as I didn’t wish for the book to end. It made me feel the love the author had for our deities.
