The Lalitha Sahasranama is a sacred Hindu text that consists of 1,000 names of the goddess Lalitha or Tripurasundari. It is considered one of the most powerful chants in Hinduism and is widely recited by devotees seeking the blessings and grace of the goddess.
The Lalitha Sahasranama is found in the Brahmanda Purana, and it is believed to have been revealed by Lord Hayagriva, the avatar of Lord Vishnu. Each name in the Lalitha Sahasranama signifies a specific attribute or aspect of the goddess Lalitha Devi.
Reciting or listening to the Lalitha Sahasranama is believed to bestow numerous benefits, such as spiritual upliftment, protection from negative influences, and fulfillment of desires. It is also believed to cleanse the mind and remove obstacles on the spiritual path.
The Lalitha Sahasranama is often performed as a sacred chant, and it is considered auspicious to chant it during Navaratri, a nine-night festival dedicated to the divine feminine energy. Many devotees also recite the Lalitha Sahasranama as a form of daily prayer or meditation.
If you are interested in chanting or learning more about the Lalitha Sahasranama, there are many resources available online and in books that provide the complete text and explanations of the various names and their meanings.
Sri Lalitha Sahasranama Poorvaanga Slokas 19 to 31.
A principal text of Shakti worshipers, it describes the goddess’ various attributes in the form of names organized in a hymn. This sahasranama is used in various modes of worship of the Divine Mother such as parayana (recitations), archana, and homa. A different but less popular version[2] of the Lalita Sahasranama can also be found in the purva bhaga of the Narada Purana. The names are organized as hymns, or stotras, but are often broken into mantras to represent all 1000 names. Therefore, the Sahasranama can be chanted in stotra form, or namavali form. The Lalita Saharanama is one of the only sahasranamas that has exactly 1000 names without repetition, an aspect which cannot be seen in other Sahasranamas of gods like Vishnu, Shiva (where the total names are either lesser or more than 1000).
Generally, sahasranamas use the artifice of adding words like tu, api, ca, and hi, which are conjunctions that do not necessarily add to the meaning of the name except in cases of interpretation. The Lalita Sahasranama does not use any such auxiliary conjunctions and is unique in being an enumeration of holy names that meets the metrical, poetical and mystic requirements of a sahasranama by their order throughout the text.
Etymologically, Lalita means “She Who Plays”. In its root form, the word Lalita means “spontaneous” from which the meaning “easy” is derived and implicitly extends to “play”.
