Devi Bhagavata Purana

Srimad Devi Bhagavata Purana is a sacred Hindu text attributed to Vyasa, traditionally believed to have been composed between the 9th and 12th centuries CE. It is one of the most important scriptures of the Shakta tradition, which venerates the Divine Mother (Devi) as the supreme reality. The text is structured in twelve books (Skandhas) and contains teachings on devotion (bhakti), cosmology, and the power of the Goddess. This edition is the 1922 English translation by Swami Vijnanananda (1868–1938), a disciple of Sri Ramakrishna and a respected scholar of Hindu scriptures. His translation brings out the profound spiritual wisdom of the Devi Bhagavata, making it accessible to English-speaking readers. The text includes the Devi Gita, an important discourse where the Goddess expounds on the nature of the self and liberation. A must-read for seekers of divine wisdom, Srimad Devi Bhagavata Purana offers deep insights into the feminine aspect of the divine, devotional practice, and the ultimate nature of reality.
