Dear All,
Greetings. Tomorrow (Friday, 14-Aug-2020) is the final Friday in the month of Ashadha (Adi in Tamil) and is typically dedicated to Goddess Shakti worship. In that context, I am delighted to share a very rare Sri Yogeshvari Ashtakam taken from Skanda Puranam, Prabhasa Khandam and Chapter 83. The 8th stanza appears elsewhere after phalashruti but within the same chapter and I pieced it together.
This chapter is titled Yogeshvari Mahatmya (Greatness of Yogeshvari) and appears in Prabhasa Khanda which is Somnath in Gujarat in today's context. But if we assume that Prabhasa Khanda covers the holy places in and around Somnath in Western part of India, it is quite possible that the Yogeshvari mentioned in this chapter could actually be referring to the Yogeshwari Temple in Ambejogai in Beed District in Maharashtra (just a guess).
The brief Phalashruti mentions that one who prays to Sri Yogeshwari with this hymn in the mornings become rich and fearless.
May We Pray To Goddess Shakti with this beautiful stotram!
With best regards & Pranams,
K. Muralidharan Iyengar (Murali)
