Question: what exactly is the definition of Stotram? also, I am familiar with the Khadga as the sword of kali. How does the stotram pertain to this???? It's one of my most inspiring spiritual symbols. I actually have an iron Khaga decorating the Kali altar in my house. It was forged at shop in Calcutta and used during Kali Puja. Quote
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Posted August 9, 2004 I am looking for an online version of the Khadgamala stotram. Preferably in Tamil or in transliterated Sanskrit. Can anyone help please? Thanks Quote

As far as how this pertains to this particular Hymn. I think Amritananda Natha says it best in the quote below (in reference to the KS) "Khadga means a sword and mala means a garland. Sword cuts the head, separating body from mind. It can be interpreted also as wisdom, which separates, categorizes, and classifies. So it is a symbol of knowledge. Khadgamala is about imagining a garland of ideas, nourishing and protecting them and putting life into them." ~SE101 , swastik108@a... wrote: > In a message dated 8/9/2004 8:38:09 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > ouranian@l... writes: > A very good introduction to the KS can be found on our Shakti Sadhana > home page here : http://shaktisadhana.50megs.com/Photo% > 20Gallery/khadgamala/sridevikhadgamala.html > Is the full text also available????? > > Question: what exactly is the definition of Stotram? > > also, I am familiar with the Khadga as the sword of kali.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Posted August 11, 2004 One thing I have to say; teh Kali Khadgamala recital referred to in the link, when listened to in a relaxed mood, preferably in dim candle light will give the listener an unforgettable experience.
