691--Q&A WITH SWAMIJI- The other chapters of the Chandi

[Guest guest]

Question from Alex:Are the other chapters of the Chandi (other than the core 700 verses) - like the Armor of the Goddess, The system of Worship of the Nine Lettered Mantra -are they also from the Devi Mahatmyam or from some other text. Thank you.Swamiji's response:The Devi Mahatmyam is another name for the Chandi Path, which includes the Armor of the Goddess, etc., in fact, all the appendages that are included in our translation. Only the 700 verses are from the Markandeya Purana. The others come from different texts related to the Devi.
