Sri Devi Khadgamala: New Version Online -- and Some Good News!

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone ...

 

As the auto-message below indicates, we've finally worked the kinks

out of our revised, updated and expanded "Sri Devi Khadgamala Stotram"

document, which I put up (and as quickly removed) earlier this month.

 

I'd like to extend my sincerest thanks and appreciation to Nora,

Kochu, Adwaith, Ganpra, and all other members who rose to the

occasion, closely proofreading, reviewing and -- where necessary --

scrubbing all or parts of the document. Thanks also to Msbauju for her

well-considered thoughts on making the document more user friendly,

and to our new member Willendorfer, who was kind enough to mail along

his thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of the KS as a practical

document for newcomers.

 

The final product may still not be 100 percent; but I'll bet it's at

least 98 percent -- and it's a vast improvement over the old version,

complete with an expanded FAQ section, improved "navigability", and

two very useful appendices to help maximize your experience.

 

I also have some exciting news on the audio front: For those who have

asked for a sharper-quality mp3 recording to learn from, I'm happy to

announce that several more versions are coming. Nora (can you believe

her?) has commissioned an "official," word-for-word studio recording

of Shakti Sadhana's Khadgamala Stotram document by a well-known female

Carnatic vocalist, which should begin next month -- more details as

they become available. Also Sri Bhasurananda contacted me earlier

today to let me know the his recording of our document is almost

ready. And finally, I've managed to procure a pretty rare professional

recording of the stotram by the renowned South Indian duo the Priya

Sisters, which I hope to make available within the next week or two.

 

So no more excuses! Download your copy today in the Files section

(shortcut is <http://tinyurl.com/yzpafr> and get chanting -- just in

time for Deepawali!

No problem, Willendorfer ... ;-)

 

BTW, for anyone who may be interested, the Khadgamala version I posted

yesterday was updated overnight (after the act of posting suddenly

opened my eyes to a few final, cosmetic items that needed fixing). The

file link and file name remain identical to the earlier version; I

simply replaced the file with a slightly improved update. I've scanned

through it at least twice again since then without further "catches,"

so either it's pretty good as-is or I've gone editorially blind again.

 

Also, please note that the PDF version posted to SS was "downsized" to

Adobe Reader Version 6 standards to reduce the file size a bit. If

anyone would prefer the full Version 7 PDF, drop me an e-mail

privately and I'll send you the heavier (but higher-resoution,

higher-featured) version.
