Kasmira Sakta Darsanam and Bhavani Sahasranama Nirupanam

It is my earnest pleasure to appreciate and to adore the scholarly work "Kashmir-Shakta- Darshanam & Bhavani Sahasranamanirupanam", written with the translation of the original Sanskrit text in English by Dr. Chaman Lal Raina, which is being published by Shree Somnath Sanskrit University.

Kashmir has been contributing significantly in the field of philosophy, religion, poetics, history, literature etc. Its major contribution to the Shaiva and Shakta theories of phiosophy is unparllel which has a wide and remarkable impact on other philosophical exegeses in India. The author of this book Dr. Raina has done a deep study alongwith all the relevant citations. While translating Sanskrit text in English he has been very honest to keep the central essence of the original thought intact. It is my pride and privilage to acknowledge and to express my gratitude to Dr. Raina for this praiseworthy work.

On the occasion of this publication I would like to thank our Registrar Dr. Dashrath Jadav and Research Officer Dr. Kartik Pandya for their regular and sincere support.

We always pray "Shivah Shaktya yaktah" and honestly desire the blessings of First Jyotir Linga Lord Somanatha with Goddess Amba. May the divine bliss of the both shower on this celestial publication to get its due recognition amongst scholars.
