The Lalita Sahasranama is the thousand names of the Hindu mother goddess Lalita. It is a sacred text for the Hindu worshippers of the Goddess Lalita Devi, who considered to be a manifestation of the Divine Mother (Shakti), and the text is therefore used in the worship of Durga, Parvati, Kali, Bhagavati, etc. as well. A principal text of Shakti worshipers, it names the goddess's various attributes in the form of names organized in a hymn. This sahasranama is used in various modes for the worship of the Divine Mother like parayana (recitations), archana, and homa. 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 does not repeat a single name, and has exactly 1000 names, which cannot be found 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". The Lalita Sahasranama is said to have been composed by the eight vaag devis (Vasini, Kameshvari, Aruna, Vimala, Jayani, Modini, Sarveshvari, and Kaulini) upon the command of the goddess Lalita herself. The sahasranama says that "One can worship Lalita only if she wishes us to do so." This stotra occurs in the Brahmanda Purana (history of the universe) in the chapter of discussion between Hayagriva and Sage Agastya. Hayagriva is an incarnation of Vishnu with the head of a horse and is held to be the storehouse of knowledge. Agastya is one of the sages of yore and one of the stars of the constellation Saptarishi. At the request of Agastya, Hayagriva is said to have taught him the thousand holiest names of Lalita. The temple at Thirumeyachur, near Kumbakonam, is said to be where Agastya was initiated into this sahasranama. An alternative origin is that the Upanishad Bramham Mutt at Kanchipuram is where this initiation happened. #LalithaSahasranamam #LalithaSahasranama #SriLalithaSahasranamaStothram #ಲಲಿತಾಸಹಸ್ರನಾಮಸ್ತೋತ್ರಮ್ #SriLalithaSahasranama #SriLalithaSahasranamam #LalithaSahasranamaKannadaLyrics #LalithaSahasranamamKannadaLyrics #SindhuSmitha #DeviStothra #ಲಲಿತಾಸಹಸ್ರನಾಮಮ್
