Q&A with Swamiji .....102...Chandi Path vs Durga Saptasati vs Devi Mahatmyam

[Guest guest]

Question from Karen:

On the title page of Chandi Path, it says that it is also known as

The Devi Mahatmyam and The Durga Saptasati. Is there a reason why

there are 3 names for the same scripture? Would

there be any difference in the contents in a book with one of the

other names? Thank you !

 

Latha adds in :- I found in some versions , the Kavach having a few

extra lines for example, is this merely a difference in versions of

the Chandi, or because of a difference between Devi

Mahatmyam vs Durga Saptasati vs Chandi. Thank you.

 

 

Swamiji's response :

The scripture became known by different names in different regions.

It is the same scripture. The versions differ, and I am just sending

a book to print about the reason for the different versions.

 

Latha adds in :- The reasons for the different versions are

explained in Swamiji's latest book "Pronunciation and the Chandi

Samputs"
