I chant Saraswati Vandana and Gayatri Mantra. They keep me going.

We often chant mantras and shlokas, but do we know the meaning they carry? The essence behind the shlokas, Mantras and bhajans? This cute little book is a perfect guide when it comes to knowing the essence of each chanting.

Divided into two parts, Junior and Seniors, there are daily Shlokas, Mantras and Bhajans shared by the author explaining their meaning which is perfect for young readers.
