Lalita Sahasranama Stotram

Lalita Sahasranama Stotram

Lalita sahasranama is a sacred Hindu text for the worshippers of the Goddess
Lalita Devi, i.e. the Divine Mother, in the form of her and the male gods'
feminine power, Shakti. Lalita is the Goddess of bliss, an epithet for
Parvati. Etymologically "Lalita" means "She Who Plays".
The names are organised as in a hymn, i.e. in the way of stotras. This hymn
occurs in the Brahmanda Purana. It is a dialogue between Hayagriva, a minor
incarnation (avatara) of Vishnu and the great sage Agastya.

The Lalita Sahasranama is held as a sacred text for the worship of the Divine
Mother, Lalita (and is also used in the worship of Durga, Kali, Lakshmi,
Saraswati, Bhagavathi, etc.. It is a principal text of Shakti worshippers.
Lalita Sahasranama names the various attributes of the Divine Mother, and all
these names are organised in the form of a hymn. This Sahasranama is used in
various modes for the worship of the Divine Mother. Some of the modes of
worship are parayana (Recitations), archana, homa etc.

Lalita Sahasranama is famous for the internal organization of its text and the
rhythmic sound vibrations associated with its verbal audio recitation that its
rendering can produce. Usually, in a sahasranama, if the same name repeats,
the commentators use their scholarship and inspiration to give different
meanings to different occurrences of the same name. Lalita sahasranma has the
unique distinction, among all the sahasranamas, of not repeating even a single
name. Further, in order to maintain the metre, sahasranamas use the artifice
of adding words like tu, api, ca, and hi, which are only conjunctions not
necessarily needed for the meaning except in rare cases of interpretation.
Lalita sahasranama has again the unique distinction of not having even a
single such innocuous word in its texture.

Every letter and word of the Lalita Sahasranamam is protected from
interpolation, mutilation etc. through axioms called CHALARNA SUTRAS or
PARIBHASHA SUTRAS in a manner similar to as the Vedas are protected through
various methods like - padam, kramam, ghanam etc. The pronunciation of
individual words is to be done with care to ensure that there is no
distortions in the meaning of the words. The whole hymn is a string of Mantras
with hidden esoteric meanings. The sahasranama is an esoteric text and many
meanings are attributable to each of these names; as many as sixteen meanings
are known to be applicble for some names. Extensive commenteries have been
written on the Lalita Saharanamam and a notable translation of an authentic
commentary is "Lalita-Sahasranama with Bhaskararaya's Commentary "(Translated
Into English) By: R. Ananthakrishna Sastry Published by The Theosophical
Publishing House, Adyar, Chennai. and another by Dr. C Suryanarayana murthy
published by Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai.

Simply chanting Lalita Sahasranama as a daily practice is intended to give
relief and create a mind free of tensions, devoted to other living beings in
the world, inculcate sincere love, unity, progressing to see divinity in all
fellow beings and overcome hatred and animosity towards our enemies. Among the
many hymns, mantras and devotional songs available, the Lalita Sahasranama is
specially suitable for worship at all times and also at particular times like
morning, evening or night. The Sahasranama is to be chanted in Sanskrit to
obtain full benefits of its the rhythmic sound vibrations and with a
conemplation on the meaning of each nama alongside with the recitation to
obtain desired benefits.

While Sahasranamas giving material well-being and salvation are prescribed for
all castes and in all stages of life, Lalita Sahasranama is generally
prescribed for all for obtaining Divine grace for fulfilment of human desires.
It is recommended that the Sahasranamama be chanted a number of times every
daily or at least once every day or at least on important occasions like,
during the summer and winter solstices, on Birth one's own, one's spouse's,
and one's children's birthdays, on Navami (the 9th or 14th day of the bright
fortnight), and on Fridays, and all auspicious occasions. This Sahasranama may
be recited especially on the Purnammi(Full-Moon) Day, as one meditates upon
Mother Lalita as seated within the disc of the Moon

Prayoga and Phalasruti detail out the method of worship and the benefits
accuring from the worship theron. The phalashruti on Lalita Sahasranama given
in a chapter following the Laita Sahasranama in the Brahmanda Purana,

Regular chanting of Sree Lalitha Sahasranama will ward off premature death,
will provide a long and contended healthy life, will give relief to fever and
headache.
Through the regular chanting of Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam, the atmosphere
will be purified. Each nerve in our body will be invigorated and subtle
energies will be awakened in the person.
It is said that if a person consumes ghee, which is kept while chanting Sree
Lalitha Sahasra namam, he will be cured of impotency and will have children
This hymn may be recied instead of various expiatory rituals.
Devi is believed to protect those who recite this hymn daily from dangers and
from attacks by enemies.
Daily recitation of the Sahasranama is believed to augment prosperity,
eloquence and fame.
Recitation on every Friday of a week for prosperity.
The Practice of chanting the Sahasranama is open to all and not restricted to
any particular denomination or caste or creed who are who have faith and
devotion for worship of the Devi
There are many Sahasranamas dedicated to Devi including Gangastava,
Bhavanistava, Gayatristava, Kalistava, Lakshmistava, Sarasvatistava,
Rajarajeshvaristava, Balastava, Syamalastava and Lalitastava. Of these Lalita
Sahasranama is held the sacred to Lalita Devi and Shakti Worship.
There are some basic rules that protect the words used in the Lalitha
Sahasranama; to have a short glimpse of a few of these rules the following
link is provided.

Mahishasura Mardini Stotram

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(This very popular stotra of Goddess Durga is supposed to have been written by Ramakrishna Kavi. Nothing is known about the author. The great Tenali Rama was known as Ramakrishna Kavi and he was a great Bhaktha of Durga. But there are no references to say hat he wrote this great work. Due to its very poetic nature and repetition of words in the same stanza with different nuances, this is extremely difficult to translate. I have used the one incomplete translation available in the web (http://sanskrit.gde.to/doc_devii/mahisha_mean.itx ) as well as the recent great translation by Sri.S.N.Sastry of Madras which has been posted in www.celestel.org. The version of the stotra which I have used is slightly different from what has been quoted above. I have used transliteration with roman script)

Padakamalam karuna nilaye varivasyathi,

Ayi kamale kamala nilaye kamala nilaya
Sa katham na bhaveth,
Thava padameva param ithi
Anusheelayatho mama kim na shive,

And if I consider thine feet as only refuge,
Is there anything that I will not get,

Ramya kapardini, shaila Suthe. 18

So I take refuge in thine feet Oh Goddess,
Which is also place where Shiva resides,
Oh Goddess who has captivating braided hair,
Who is the daughter of a mountain.
And who is the slayer of Mahishasura.

Thava Vimalendu kulam vadnedumalam
Sakalayananu kulayathe,
Kimu puruhootha pureendu mukhi
Sumukhibhee rasou vimukhi kriyathe,
Mama thu matham shivanama dhane
Bhavathi krupaya kimu na kriyathe,
Jaya Jaya Mahishasura mardini ,
Ramya kapardini, shaila Suthe. 19

In his thought would never face rejection,
By the bevy of pretty beauties with moon like face,
In the celestial Indra’s court,
And so oh Goddess who is held in esteem by Shiva,
I am sure you would not reject my wishes,
Oh Goddess who has captivating braided hair,
Who is the daughter of a mountain.
And who is the slayer of Mahishasura.

Ayi mai deena dayalu thaya krupayaiva
Thvaya bhavthavyam ume,
Ayi jagatho janani kripayaa asi
thatha anumithasi rathe
Na yaduchitham atra bhavathvya rari kurutha,
durutha pamapakarute
Jaya Jaya Mahishasura mardini ,
Ramya kapardini, shaila Suthe. 20
