This is an excellent book for someone who wants to learn and recite with Swaras. This book compile number of most popular Mantras, Shloka and Stotras.
This a wonderful treasury of vedic chant for anyone who can read and chant from the transliterated Sanskrit. If the chants are unfamiliar, there are note markings. It is so helpful to use with a teacher one-to-one or in a group class. It is a daily companion for me, and I am so grateful to have it.
Thank you!
Pros-Various Mantras,Verses , Prayers written in Devnagari Sanskrit along with markings to help pronounce them correctly. For example Sri Rudram, Durga Sutam , Narayan Suktam,ganesh athrrvashirsham, Navgraha shlokas,Suvarnamala Stuti chapters from Upnishads etc etc I liked it. Easy to use.
Cons-Some are probably incomplete. For example Suvarnamalastuti for Shiv Parvati ji has only 15 shlokas and those too ate not in order. I did not check all nor have so much knowledge but it is common sense to have whole stuti not just a few verses) if they are going to include it in the book. Some mantras are repeated in different sections.
Overall good book if you like to recite few mantras for your prayers and religious study.
It is an Excellent book. It is a great joy to be a part of the Vedic Chanting sessions conducted by Swami Devarupananda (Ram Maharaj) in Mumbai. It is a book filled with spiritual enligthenment and brightness for everything in life. Great Effort by Swami Deverupanandaji Maharaj to simplify Vedic Chanting for everyone.
This book is essential for the study of Veda, Upanishads or Stotrams. All in Devanagari (Sanskrit) with accurate Swarams!
