Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Aum Sai Ram, (Source........Sri Lalita Sahasranama printed by Sri Ramakrishna Math) .........And he has succeeded in avoiding both. His poetry never ceases to be religious and his philosophy seldom becomes merely technical. His admiration for the Goddess and his comprehension of all that she stands for in the hearts of men go up in fine jets of poetry ,even while he is expounding abstract philosophy or complex ritual .Consequentaly ,the Goddess in this hymn neither vanishes in to the thin air of a mere idea ,nor comes down to the earth as a purely human figure .She remains a Goddess of transcendent beauty ,leading a host of divinities against the forces of evil .She is not a cold virgin ,but a young wife passionately fond of her husband -Kameshwara. She is also a mother who loves her children and takes pride in their exploits ..She is ever young ever rosy like the morning sun , and the jewels she wears rival the stars in their splendour .Her breath has the perfume of camphor ,her voice is sweeter than the veena of Saraswati ,her person is fragrant with the scent of sandal .She is passionately fond of flowes --Champaka,Asoka, Punnaga , and others and constantly wears them in her hair . She is herself a flower ,says the poet .She shines like a china rose or like pomergranate flower or a Bandhuka blossom .But she is more fond of flowers of the spirit (chaitanya kusuma priya ) ..She is fond of poetry , of ,dancing , and music and the chanting of the Veda ..She is in fact home of all arts ,the treasure house of all rasas.
