When reading with awareness and shraddha (devotion), Lalitha will bring refinement in the consciousness and make us a storehouse of positivity, dynamism, and joy. Let us know that we have come to this planet for a beautiful and higher purpose. This will help to present multiple dimensions of each quality in continuity. The various references to a particular quality have been threaded together. Lalitha aims to share with the reader an insight into the different qualities described in the Sahasranama with a glimpse into both layers of meaning. The lotus-eyed one can live in this world and see beauty and purity in spite of all its challenges.


For example, lotus-eyed signifies a beautiful and pure vision.

The language is beautiful and has, both, a deeper meaning and laukika (transliteration). What is remarkable about the language of the Lalitha Sahasranamam? Even if it is only for half an hour, the mind is one-pointed and focused on one divinity and its attributes it stops wandering. It purifies the mind and uplifts the consciousness.

We are grateful to our ancient seers for showing us the way to lead a full life by worshipping divinity in all its diverse qualities.Ĭhanting the Sahasranama is a ritual by itself. This leads to a fuller and more prosperous existence. When we chant each name, it enlivens those qualities in our consciousness and they manifest in us according to the need of the hour.Īlong with enlivening the qualities within us, chanting a thousand names of the Divine gives us the ability to cognize and appreciate them in the world around us. Along with it, the quality of our consciousness undergoes a sea change. Our needs and desires change at every stage of our life – from infancy to adolescence to youth and so on. Similarly, each name of the Divine in the Sahasranama refers to a different quality or attribute of the Divine. If we think of a sandalwood tree, we carry the memory of its perfume. In the Lalitha Sahasranamam, we chant a thousand names of the Divine Mother.
