Lalita Sahasranama (lalitāsahasranāma) (Sanskrit: ललिता सहस्रनाम), is a Hindu text from the Brahmanda Purana.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, Lakshmi, Saraswati, 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. 

In this series we will look at the meaning of Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam word by word with the stories and secrets hidden in them.

In this video, we will listen about the history of Lalitha Sahasranamam.  Lalitha Sahasranamam is a very powerful chanting of Devi Sri Lalitha  Tripurasundari, describing all the Goddesses and avatars of Sri Adi  Parasakthi, the supreme origin.  Due to the language constraints which we have in this generation, we  have totally lost track of the meaning of these sacred chantings. To  help this, Sri Bhaskararaya (1690 - 1785) has written the commentary for  this sacred stotram. Sri S.V.Radhakrishna Sastri has written a book in  Tamil containing this commentary.  

Smt Umamaheswari has narrated this complete album with this book as a  base. Heartful pranaams and thanks to Sri Kumar Ramanathan for  motivating me with the materials necessary for this album.
