It changed my life. I instantly understood the essence of "I" and the concept of maya. Actually called my Husband 10,000 miles away and shared it with him. That was bliss for both of us. Thanks for a wonderful translation Nunda Hi Ivan
I heard this stotra early morning, before I was fully awake. It changed my life.
I instantly understood the essence of “I” and the concept of maya. Actually called my
Husband 10,000 miles away and shared it with him.
That was bliss for both of us.
Thanks for a wonderful translation
