Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Stotram is a Sanskrit word that means eulogy or hymn of praise and prayer, which is dedicated to a certain deity.
Mohani Heitel sings all the stotras of this CD-series in her own musical composition accompanying herself with Tanpura. Most of these stotras were written by the medieval Indian saint Adi Shankara. Singing stotras or listening to them with undistracted attention helps to feel the presence of the corresponding deity, and serves to express devotional feelings. Mohani Heitel has compiled six CDs which contain Shiva stotras (Vol. 1 and 2), Devi stotras (Vol.1 and 2), and one each for Vishnu stotras, and one for stotras of Ganesha together with Subrahmanya (Kartikeya).
Devi Stotras Volume 1 contains exclusively the hymns of Goddess Bhavani, well known as Durga, the Goddess who is the consort of Lord Shiva. As universal mother she is compassionate and benevolent. Tripura Sundari stotra and Rajarajeshvari describe the attributes of Her appearance. Mahishasura Mardini tells the story of Her victory over the evil forces. Bhavani Ashtakam extolls Her as ultimate refuge of the spiritual aspirant and Narayani Stuti expresses deep reverence towards Her glory and omnipresence. Bhavani Bhujangam describes her transcendental body. In Devi Aparadha Kshamapana Stotram Her forgiveness is emphasized. Devi Kavacham serves as an armour to prevent from evil.
