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).
Vishnu means one who pervades everything in form of divine consciousness. Vishnu protects and sustains the creation. For this purpose and for the establishment of righteousness He incarnates Himself in different forms. Sri Rama and Krishna were His wellknown incarnations. All the stotras of this CD relate to His various forms and names, praising His glory, divine acts as well as His attributes. Achyuta, Keshava, Hari and Govinda are other names of Sri Krishna. Reciting stotras repeatedly or merely listening to them is a way of practicing Bhakti Yoga - the Yoga of devotion to God.
