But as I grow older I see that it is important to have a healthy inner AND outer life.

Ruupam Dehi, Jayam Dehi, Yasho Dehi, Dvisho Jahi The Devi Mahatmyam forms part of the Markandeya Purana text and contains 700 shlokas (verses) and 13 chapters describing the Goddess as the Supreme power and Creator of the universe. The Sri Argala Stotram is to be chanted/recited before the D evi Mahatmyam (Glory of the Goddess) of which it is a part. In the inner meaning, the Goddess is invoked to lend her Shakti or energy to provide spiritual victory or liberation. The Sri Argala Stotram was composed by Rishi Markandey for Goddess Durga, praising her in her aspect as the giver of form, victory, fame and as protector against enemies. As with most devotional songs and chants, there is an inner (spiritual) and outer (worldly) meaning to the words. It is a collection of verses from the popular ancient Sri Argala Stotram, rendered by famous Bhakti singer and musician Krishna Das. This unconventional tribute to Devi, Shakti or the Mother Goddess is likely to bring a tear to your eye.
