Ma Shakti and Shakti Peethas are pure gold wrapped in pure gold energy, pervading the universe as comic Energy that emanated directly from Ma Shakti; all the wealth, Ridhas, Siddhis, wisdom, and energy combined. Read the book, purity self, and pray to her, possessing them in abundance.

Ma Shakti and Shakti Peethas deal in detail with various aspects of Ma Shakti as presented in the Vedas (Shruti and Smriti, and Agam and Nigam), Upanishads, Puranas, Tantra Shastra, Darshan and Classics, and also from the modern world of science and spirituality. It is all the Brahmandiya Shakti (the cosmic Energy) and the Shakti that we invariably take from the Brahmanda.

Ma Shakti and Shakti Peethas show that, in the form of Sachidanand Atma, Indra, Agni, and Aswinikumars. She is Adi Shakti, Brahmani Shakti, Narayani, Vasishnavi Para and Apara, Gayatri, Gyan, Iksha; Kundalini and Matriika Shakti Dash Vidyas and Maha Durga; Maha Lakshmi and Maha Saraswati. It is Pooja, prayer and obeisance to read this book that enriches oneself for Oneness and Mukti.

Prof Shrikant Prasoon is a reader, teacher, thinker, poet and above all, a humanist. The more he reads and thinks, the more he writes on varied topics, but with one aim: to show man the need for Nature and natural life. He believes that all religions are integral and inseparable, living and developing parts of one basic religion called Humanism; and all the systems are an outcome of the great celestial system, which is devised. Professor of English, Prof. Prasoon writes in Hindi and also in Sanskrit with equal ease. His recent books are Knowing Buddha, Knowing Guru Nanak, Indian Scriptures, Panch Mahabhuta Tatwa and Sharira, Chanakya, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Absorbing Buddha, On Management, Knowing Kabir, Hinduism: Clarified and Simplified, Indian Saints and Sages, Rishis and Rishikas, and 16 Hindu Samskars.

I have been planning to write a book on Ma Shakti and collecting facts for quite a long time when I got the assignment to write this book ‘Ma Shakti and Shakti Peethas’. I was delighted when the offer came from Shri Ram Avatar Gupta.

Without any distinction of continent and country, the Rishis, the wise men, and great scientists, social thinkers, philosophers, and psychologists thought for all human beings and came up with Eternal enlightenment and salvation of all the human beings on the Earth: swan swan charitram shiksheran prithvivyam sarva manvah.

Everyone should follow the path; kill the inner animal and demonic instincts to become human and divine, one’s own peace, pleasure, and prosperity, and that of all other living beings.

The concept of Shakti and her various aspects have been taken from all available places or the places known to me; from the Vedas (both Shruti and Smriti, and Agam and Nigam), Upanishads, Puranas, Tantra Shastras, Darshan and Classics, and also from the modern world of science and spirituality. But the Brahmandiya (Cosmic) Shakti, and the Shakti that we invariably take as the Brahmanda, is the greatest and the best.

It is like a Pooja for me to write about Ma Shakti. I completed it in that spirit and felt the Grace and Blessings of Shiva Shakti.

Only a has been taken from scriptural Transliteration for long sounds that are otherwise impossible to write in English. The rest is as used in government papers, newspapers, magazines and general books. It will help the readers to read correctly numerous names and quotations given in the books.

Prof. Prasoon is known to me for quite a long time, and I am exceedingly gratified to mention that I have listened to him with rapt attention on distinct topics at numerous places. I have been fortunate and interested to the maximum possible extent. I have noticed that he is a great poet and thinker as well. It is also to be noted that he has a wonderful command over his expression.

He gave me the manuscript of ‘Ma Shakti and Shakti Peethas’; I read it thoroughly, and I was extremely delighted. I thank him from the very core of my heart for requesting me to write its foreword.

The book, ‘Ma Shakti and Shakti Peethas’, may be considered to be an encyclopedia on Ma Shakti. I have read many books on Ma Shakti. But this one is replete with all information and explanations.

First of all, I offer my obeisance to Ma Shakti, quoting a Shloka from ‘Durga Saptashati'

Sarva mangal mangalye shive sarbartha sadhike,

Sharanye trayambake gauri narayani namostute

In fact, Ma Shakti is the eternal energy that guides one and all to make life meaningful from all points of view. We pray to her, and if this prayer is sincerely done, we can get rid of all vices that have made our life hell. Truly speaking, women should be placed in a rank greater and more dignified than that of men. In this context, I must quote some lines from ‘Ram Charit Manas’

Jo Kewal pitu agya sunu tata,

To Jani jawa jani badi mata.

Jo pitu matu kahat bana jana

To kanan shat Awadha samana.

Kaushalyaji tells Lord Rama that if only the father has ordained you to go to the forest, then it is not expedient to obey him, considering the mother to be superior. If both have ordained, then the forest equals one hundred Awadha.

Ma Shakti inspires us to perform all our actions with pious intent and virtues. It is to be noted that nobody remains inactive even for a moment.

Na hi kashchit kshanam api jatu tishthatya akarma krit,

Karyate hyabashah Karma sarvah prakriti jairrgunaih.

The Gita 3/5 says that it is sure that none can remain inactive even for a moment because every one is helplessly driven to action by diverse nature-born qualities.

Krishna says in the Gita:

Na mey parthasti kartavyam trishu lokeshu kinchan,

Na na waptam waptavyam varta yeva cha karmani.

Arjun, there is nothing in the three worlds for me to do; is there anything worth attaining unattained by me; yet I continue to work?

Prof. Prasoon has quoted 7/4/5/ from the Gita. These shlokas suggest that the Lord has divided his nature eightfold.

From the perusal of the manuscript, I find that one can get rid of his diseases, shortcomings, and all other deficiencies if he regularly prays to Ma Shakti. Her different forms are equally attractive and beatifying.

The book ‘Ma Shakti and Shakti Peethas’ is written in simple and lucid language. Ambiguity is nowhere to be found. All the questions that come to mind have been answered in a befitting manner.

I congratulate Prof. Prasoon for writing this book on Ma Shakti in such a manner that will appeal to all readers. It will pave the way for the betterment of our lives in a world in which, barring a few, all are leading an unhappy life in the midst of terror and other vices.
