Course Description
Arya Dwisati is a stotra written by Sage Durvasa that describes Goddess Kamakshi, in all Her glory, in 200 slokas. Sage Durvasa was a great devotee of Goddess Kamakshi and Lord Shiva.
Goddess Kamakshi is one of the principal forms of Goddess Lalitha Maha-Tripurasundari, located in the Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, India. The Image of the main Deity, Kamakshi, is seated in a majestic Padmasana, a yogic posture signifying peace and prosperity, instead of the traditional standing pose. It is commonly stated that Adi Shankaracharya established the Sri Chakra in the temple.
In this class, students will learn both the chanting, as well as the meaning, of the shlokas taught by Dr. Shyam Panchapakesan
