Lalita Sahasranama Stotra, the hymn of 1000 names of Lalita is the best one followed by of all. The spiritual masters have firmly established that the hymn contains the essence of the Mantra Shastra (the science of holy chants) of the entire world.

Lalita is called Tripura Sundari as Her Body consists of three Shaktis that is Brahma, Vaishnavi and Raudri. Lalita has Kali`s determination and Durga`s charm, grace and complexion. Lalita is said to be four-armed and clad in red dress. She is the heavily ornamented and sits on a lotus seat laid on a golden throne.

Lalitha Sahasranamam can be chanted in two different ways. In Stotram form, all 1,000 namams are separated into stotrams of a few namams each and recited in this way. In mantra form, each namam is said individually, preceded by “Aum” and followed by “Namah”. Mantra form is commonly used to recite Lalitha Sahasranamam during archana. Both ways, however, are equally effective.

Additionally, late Kanchi Periyavar had recommended very highly to recite Lalita Shasranama regularly for anything and everything in one’s life and to get liberation or salvation without a birth and death cycle for the soul.
