Every object in creation has a name that correlates with a form. In addition to its designated name as defined by the language that is spoken, every object in creation also has a natural name that describes its intrinsic movement or vibration. All vibrations create sound, whether audible to us humans or not. Those sounds are what we call the natural names of the objects in creation. In Sanskrit we call an object’s natural name its Bīja, or seed, and in this way the name is inherent to the form.

Spiritual ideals such as Wisdom, Love, Peace – even Divinity – all have natural names. These are known as Bīja Mantras. These mantras are divine words of power that focus the mind on a desired vibration. This book contains the Bīja Mantras for the Chaṇḍī Pāṭhaḥ, from the Śrī Tantra Durgā Saptaśatī, written by Shivadattashashtri published in 1973 in Kanpur.

Reciting the Bījas, the natural names, of all the verses of the Chaṇḍī Pāṭhaḥ, and contemplating the meanings of the Bījas and the verses, will generate added enhancement to your sādhana and bhāvana (to the feeling, to intuitive cognition, and to the intensity of our reality) and will bring more of these vibrations into sharper focus.

About the Author

Swami Satyananda Saraswati is considered to be one of the foremost Vedic scholars and Sanskrit translators in the West. He is the author of nearly 60 books in nine different languages representing a significant contribution to the understanding of Hinduism and Vedic religious practices.

Swamiji comes from the Dashnami lineage of Adi Shankaracharya, and belongs to the Saraswati tribe of renunciates and scholars who are living the life of a teacher and a knower of wisdom, worshiping with both spiritual knowledge and devotion. His Guru, Swami Amritananda Saraswati, initiated him into the Vedic Knowledge, Sanskrit, and the Chandi Path and sacred fire ceremony as his primary system of spiritual discipline in 1971.

He practiced the recitation of the Chandi Path in the Himalayan snow and in the hot springs of Bakreswar. Through this rigorous penance, he became impervious to the influences of heat and cold. Through his experiences walking the length and breadth of the Himalayas over 15 years, Swamiji fell in love with Sanskrit and became proficient in numerous languages including Bengali and Hindi. Wherever he went he would learn the local systems of worship and inspire those around him to participate. Swamiji’s expertise and experience spans many different religious traditions. His realizations and teachings make him a living example of Ramakrishna’s Gospel, “as many as there are individuals, so many are the paths to God”.

In 1979, Swamiji met Shree Maa when he was performing a vow of worship in a small temple in the interior of West Bengal. They toured India, spreading their divine love and inspiration by performing pujas, homas, and sharing their realizations, and teaching their methods of spiritual practice. In 1984 they came to America and established the Devi Mandir, where he and Shree Maa shine their beacon of light from Napa, California. Today, they share all their resources to give every individual an opportunity to access these spiritual teachings.
