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 Maa Vana Durga, also revered as Maa Vandevi.
This composition is a humble offering to my Guru, Sri Sharada Ramakrishnaaya, infused with the divine grace of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Sri Maa Sarada.
Maa Vandevi, is one of the manifestations of Mahalakshmi, embodying the eternal essence of Mula Prakriti—the Supreme Primordial Nature.
Maa Sita, is also known as Maa Vandevi.
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.
It stands as a testament to the boundless blessings of my Swa Guru, Maa Sharada Ramakrishnaaya, without whose grace this offering would not have been possible. I remain forever nothing without their divine guidance.
