Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam-A Brief Overview

The Lalitha Sahasranamam is one of the important and famous hymn in the Hindu way of life. It is a hymn in praise of Lalitha Tripurasundari also called as Lalithambika.

According to the Vedas, God is one without a second. Everything in this Universe is nothing but this divinity. Ordinarily, this abstract doctrine cannot easily be comprehensible to all. Most of the Hindu Puranas therefore present God in various forms including that of a human being so that this idea can be easily assimilated and adored. Lalitha Tripurasundari is one of the finest product of this line of thinking.

The Lalitha Sahasranamam occurs in the Brahmanda Purana. It is a hymn that describes the 1000 various names of Sri Lalitha Tripurasundari as the Divine Mother. While doing so, the hymn provides a beautiful mix of poetry, romance, religion and philosophy.

The Lalitha doctrine explains Goddess Lalitha as Chidswarupini and Anandarupini namely pure consciousness and blissful consciousness respectively. Human beings can remain cheerful in the world, like children playing by the side of their mother. Living exemplary lives, they finally find eternal rest on the lap of the Divine Mother.

Read and get the blessings of the Almighty Goddess. I have also prepared and narrated an audio book on this. I have recited the entire Sahasranamam which is available as a separate audio book. They are available with audio booksellers.
