The two new grAhin-s
Having evaded the vAmagrAhin we accomplished the immediate objective with reasonable success. Then on the second day after that the vAmagrAhin seemed to lose its grip like a leech touched by tobacco. Then two new frightful grAhin-s were sent against … Continue reading

vAmagrAhin
This had to be noted: When the arAyA came the vAmagrAhin seized us. When the arAyA’s shadow was away the vAmagrAhin seized us again ! Then the mantra of shrIvidyA showed its power and took us over the vAmagrAhin. We … Continue reading
