Swami Satyananda Saraswati

Pronunciation and the Chandi Samputs Swami Satyananda Saraswati

Pronunciation and the Chandi Samputs contains a collection of stories about sadhus' chanting, the constituent ingredients of intention, motivation, sincerity, attention, attitude, and understanding. It shares an outline of the history of Sanskrit literature, and it details the origins of transliteration into Roman characters. It discusses the various methods of chanting and it describes the differences in the alphabets of the differing languages of India. It details techniques of how to extend the length of time, emphasis and intensity of absorption into the worship of Chandi. Ultimately it defines many of the Chandi Samputs, and describes the attainments for which each would be employed. It's a small book, but it is very important for students of Sanskrit and especially important for devotees in their path to refine their understanding and sincerity.
