Swamiji has given the entire painstaking way in which several Sages across millenia have invoked this highly effective mantra. The book is beautifully written with plenty of humorous lines in between. It throws some light in the Vedic period etc also. I would recommend you read it. I would highly recommend to try doing the mantra also.

A truly remarkable and a must-read reading for every devotee, this book stands as another significant contribution by Sri Om Swami Ji to the service of Sanatan Dharma. The detailed explanations and historical background provided for each verse make it much easier to remember and chant with devotion. No words can adequately express the gratitude I feel for Swami ji for this book.

"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.

A clear and concise explanation of each of the fifteen mantras along with the back story of how they were invoked or came into existence. The stories clarified the analogies, the specific names, and their significance in a way that you retain in your mind long after you have memorized the shlokas. A must read for spiritual seekers and devotees who need the mind to understand the whys and what's of mantras to believe and then faithfully chant. Aum Gurubhye Namah. Namaskarams to Om Swami for sharing this knowledge and showing us the path to Sadhana.
