One day in the august assembly – BRAHMAANDA SADAS – the innumerable Brahmas And the whole host of Devas had assembled in the presence of the Supreme Goddess then taking a hint from the Supreme Goddess, these Celestial beings led by Vasini recited this text in a tone loud and clear and the whole assembly was awestruck with wonder.

A true devotee of the Mother ought to lead his life in simple contentment, surrendering to Her Will and in So let us not allow ourselves to be swayed by whatever we see happening in the world outside. Whatever we find happening in the World now and whatever might happen in the future, know that all this has been sanctioned and willed by the Supreme Mother. Whatever be the knowledge we gain and whatever be the subjects we master, real fulfillment in life cannot be had without cultivating devotion to the Supreme Mother. For, the Lalita Sahasranama is considered as the source of all knowledge contained in the four Vedas, 1,008 and odd Upanishads, all the Sastras and the 36 Puranas, being the Bija Grantha of the Primordial Sakthi. In days of yore, a student of the Gurukula system, would study the Vedas and Sastras at the feet of his Guru, and when the time came for him to take leave of his Guru and return home, it is said that the Guru, pleased with his student not only blessed him with words, but also used to present him as a precious gift a copy of the sacred text, Lalita Sahasranama. One might also worship Her with flowers, pay obeisance to Her having installed Her in one’s heart and constantly remember Her during the course of the day, thus developing the close relationship of mother and child, and finally surrender oneself totally at Her lotus feet. To win Her heart and remain Her dear child, one must regularly recite the Sahasranama or at least listen to its chanting because it contains not only Her story, but also extols Her powers as well as Glories. It is preferable to conduct the worship in groups, as such worship is more fruitful and the benefits are larger. Caste, creed, nationality, age (or Asrama as the case may be) are no bar to Her worship. Goddess Lalitambika can be and ought to be worshipped by one and all. In short, She takes care of our welfare not only in this world/life, but in the life beyond as well. To those who aspire for higher things, She endows them with unalloyed devotion, and detachment, leading to enlightenment and the pinnacle of supreme knowledge – SRI VIDYA. She fulfils all our desires and aspirations, grants Peace and contentment immediately, and also bestows on us health, wealth, name and fame, happiness and courage. Naturally, with all our heart, that too with a child-like innocence. So too is the case when we address a prayer to the Goddess Lalita She is not only the Mother of all mothers, but also the Mother of the entire Universe, the Eternal Mother, the Mother Supreme, who is capable of bestowing any amount of merit on her devotees.
