Benifits of reciting Sri Lalitha sahasranamam/an article from internet

[Guest guest]

In this materialistic world, with an intention to create a mind

devoted to mankind, sincere love, unity and by thus to God and avoid

hatred and animosity towards our enemies, chanting of Sree Lalitha

Sahasra Namam, a Sanskrit namavali from the ancient Brahmanda

Purana, forms an integral part.

 

It is natural that, we mankind has to face many obstacles and set

backs in our life. However, it is our will to conquer them makes us

successful in our endeavours. We should have the Belief, Confidence

and Determination to try for this. Some cases these qualities are in-

born. But for many these are developed. A useful and beneficial

method to develop this is by seeking solace in God by chanting

prayers knowing their meanings. It will give the most advantageous

benefits if one chants keerthans and namavalis with their meanings

in mind. He/She will be able to express more and get closer to God.

 

May I with the blessings of Goddess Sree Lalithambika (otherwise

called as Durga ma, Kali ma, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Bhagavathi, etc,

etc) list some of the benefits of regular chanting of Sree Lalitha

Sahasranamavali.

 

 

This is the most favoured form of prayer to Goddess Lalithambika and

it is also very secret and powerful than any other forms of Tantra

or Mantra.

Regular chanting of Sree Lalitha Sahasranama is as beneficial as

visiting religious places, taking bath in a holy river, offering

food, offering materials. It is an indirect blessing to those who

cannot do these kind of offerings to God.

Regular chanting of Sree Lalitha Sahasranama will ward off the evil

from uncompleted pooja vidhis or rituals etc. It will also form a

way of penance.

Regular chanting of Sree Lalitha Sahasranama will ward off premature

death, will provide a long and contended healthy life. Fever can be

cured by religiously chanting Sree Lalitha Sahasranamam by touching

on a persons forehead. The number of times you chant the more

benefit you are likely to get. The vibhuti used for Sree Lalitha

Sahasranama archana can be applied then on the forehead, which will

give much relief to fever and headache.

It is said that if one chants religiously Sree Lalitha Sahasra Namam

keeping a glass of water (or in a vessel) in front and then pours it

over the head, all sorts of troubles related to once planetary

positions and from evil spirits will be warded off.

It is said that if a person chants Sree Lalitha Sahasranama keeping

in mind a picture of Sree Lalitha Devi situated in the divine ocean

which contains `Amrut' , he will be cured from any kind of disease

related to poison.

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.

Regular chanting of Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam will ward off any

kind of evil deeds or rituals (black magic) aimed at the person who

chants the namam. The power derived from the chanting supersedes all

other forms of prayers and the person will no more require to

consult astrologers or any sorts of occultists. He will have

tremendous self confidence in himself.

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.

Sree Lalitha Devi will protect a person who regularly chants Sree

Lalitha Sahasra namam from accidents and from the attacks of enemy

and will make him victorious in all his good deeds.

Regular chanting of Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam will make a person

blessed with word power, fame, good will etc. Particular importance

should be given to chant Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam on Friday's

which is very auspicious for the blessing of Devi.

Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam is the form of prayer that any one and

every one can chant at any time and every time. It does not matter

if one could not complete it. Because each of the namam in itself is

powerful and will provide all sorts of benefits. It depends on what

you wish and how you go about it.

It is said that chanting the name of Lord Siva once is as good as

chanting the name of Mahavishnu a thousand times. And chanting the

name of Devi once is as good as chanting the name of Siva, a

thousand times. And of which Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam is the most

important one to Sree Lalitha Devi herself.

It is very beneficial if all members of the family unite and chants

Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam once in a day in the evening or whenever

time permits. A family that prays together stays together. It will

bring about unity, peacefulness, clear mind to perform and by thus

prosperity.

In homes where Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam is chanted regularly there

will never be any shortage of the basic necessities of life. This is

the reason why the ancient Gurus would instruct their desciples to

chant Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam even after initiating them into the

mantras of other deities such as Lord Krishna, Lord Rama and other

Gods and Goddesses.

It is also to be noted that by religiously chanting Sree Lalitha

Sahasra namavali, we are seeking the blessings of Sree Lalithambika,

who is also called Kalima, Durga ma, Devi, Parasakthi, Bhagavathi

etc, who in turns is the universal mother. And how can a mother

ignore her children when they are in distress or duress or troubles

of any sorts? So keep utmost faith in her and start chanting.

Each one of the namam by itself is a powerful weapon for many sorts

of day-to-day problems. The importance and benefits and related

stories of each one of them will be listed successively in our page

as per the wish of Sree Lalithambika.

Lalitha Sahasranamam can be chanted in two different ways. One in

Stotra form and the other in mantra form. 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". When

chanted in mantra form, the endings of each namam are generally

changed to "e" or "yai". Mantra form is commonly used to recite

Lalitha Sahasranamam during archana. Both ways, however, are

equally effective.

 

Mata Amritanandamayi, a modern-day Satguru who is none but Kali

Herself, has said the following of chanting Lalitha Sahasranamam:

 

"Children, if we can do archana of the thousand names of the Divine

Mother daily with devotion, we will grow spiritually. There will

never be lack of life's essentials, food and clothing, in a family

that chants the Lalita Sahasranama with devotion."
