The Fourth Flame: Goddess Kushmanda's Radiance in Navadurga

By Mohan Chandra Uprety

The Fourth Flame: Goddess Kushmanda's Radiance in Navadurga is a richly crafted spiritual odyssey into the divine essence of Kushmanda, the fourth form of the sacred Navadurga. Known as the goddess who smiled the universe into existence, Kushmanda embodies the primordial energy-Ushma-that set creation into motion. This book delves deep into her radiant persona, exploring the profound symbolism of her smile, the mysticism of the cosmic egg (Brahmanda), and her role as the silent architect of cosmic order emerging from the void.

Each chapter is a gateway into the multidimensional aspects of this luminous goddess-her iconography, association with the sun, connection to the heart chakra, and her role in energizing the cosmos. Her sacred mantras, hymns, and meditation practices are presented not merely as rituals but as transformative tools to ignite the inner fire, awaken kundalini energy, and realize one's creative and spiritual potential.

This book also unveils lesser-known regional traditions, temple legends, and esoteric meanings behind offerings such as the pumpkin-an ancient symbol of fertility and containment. Through philosophical reflection, tantric symbolism, folklore, and yogic insight, The Fourth Flame becomes both a devotional tribute and a guide for personal awakening.

In times of darkness, confusion, or spiritual yearning, the gentle smile of Kushmanda offers hope, resilience, and divine illumination. This is not just a book-it is a sacred pilgrimage into the inner cosmos, where the eternal light of the goddess awaits to awaken, heal, and empower every soul drawn to her radiant grace.
