Lalitha Sahasranamam With Meanings - Volume 1

Book excerpt: Our routine, in a day's activities, unfailingly included the Paaraayana of Vishnu Sahashranaamam and Lalitha Sahasranaamam. A question to our own selves arose that a practice of routine Paaraayanam alone is not the End but only a Start of the QUEST in us to explore deeper into the contents and profoundness of the meaning of the Sahashra Naama on Maa Lalithambika. Sri Chakra and its geometrical portrayal, is a marvel, a well calculated scaling of the Yanthraya that can create wonders in a man's mystical thinking, if only focused with a pointed mind. It was during the Navratri Dussehra Celebrations 2021, we decided to make a humble attempt of describing 1000 Naamaas of Divine Maatha Sri Lalithambika in English exclusively for the benefit of the descendants, at least, to have the basic idea about the marvels of these Naamaas as chosen by the Vaag Devathaas. A pride and ignorance in us, that we could complete it in a short time, prevailed at the start and the budding of this attempt. We exercised meticulous care in collecting the information from various sources suited to the Naamaas and exercised care in remaining as Authentic as far as the possibilities took us along. This booklet contains only a miniscule understanding of the Vast Subject after we have set in our journey in the Philosophical and Vedantic studies at our convenience taking sources from all that are available to us and we are exposed to.
