The mighty power of Sahasra Chandi Yagna
Widely known as DeviMahatmayam (Glory of Divine Mother), this cosmic hymen is presented to the world in dialogue form – conversation between Markandeye and kroshtuki in Markandeye Puranam. The Maharshi himself did not author the book but it has simply originated from time immemorial and has been handed over to successive generation.
Sapthasathi explains why it is so important to worship the Supreme Sakthi who has created even gods and goddesses. It has also been described in the tantra that “Sakthi” is the origin and source of all known and unknown powers.
