Jaya Sri Mata! "Lalita Sahasra Nama" and "Lalita Trishati" are two sacred hymns which Hayagriva gave as initiation to the sage Agastya. In ÕTrishatiÕ, there are twenty names for each of the fifteen Beeja Aksharas (seed-letters) of the Divine Mother. These three hundred names reveal the philosophical significance of the Divine Mother. My wife an I have been reciting these for almost a couple of years now. We found it easiest to learn proper pronounciation,metre, etc by listening to it on the cd "Sri Lalita" rendered by Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji. It also contains "Devi Navakam" which is a song Sri Swamiji wrote singing the 300 names from "Lalita Trishati" It is most beautiful and through listening to these recited properly the feeling of Divine Mother is unmistakeable. cd can be found through this link http://www.dattapeethamestore.com/dat_product2.asp?prodid=Acabh10041 This is a link for USA with phone number. http://www.dycusa.org/webstore/default.asp I also have a link available to a .pdf with detailed story of Sri Lalita Sahasranama if interested Here is one of many beautiful bhajans Sri Swamiji has written about Lalita Devi: Pallavi: Devi! Vande Sri Lalite! Deva! Vande Sri Lalite! Stanza 1: Devi Hey Shiva Ranjani Trahi Pahi mam Devi Devi Vande Vande Trahi Pahi mam Stanza 2: Sri Kale Hree Kale Girisha kale Chit kale Sachchidananda Pahimam Ruchita kale Meaning: "Oh! Devi! Lalita! I prostrate to you. All the celestial beings worship you. You are the consort of Lord SHIVA. I pray to you for protection. You are the origin of all wealth, knowledge and power. You create everything in the universe. Your spiritual brilliance is ever fresh. Bless me with the realisation of SAT-CHIT-ANANDA (Truth- Knowledge-Bliss). The Divine Mother is the originator of all the grace and power in the entire universe. It is by her Divine will, that all the creatures are empowered and energised to speak, to do or to think.
