In the vast ocean of Vedic spirituality, the Lalitha Sahasranama stands as one of the most powerful and revered stotras (hymns). Composed of 1000 sacred names of Goddess Lalita Tripurasundari – the supreme form of Devi in the Sri Vidya tradition – this sacred text is a cornerstone of Shakti worship. Whether you are a long-time devotee or someone newly drawn to Vedic practices, chanting or listening to the Lalitha Sahasranama brings profound spiritual transformation, peace, and divine grace.
At AstroBhava, we bring this ancient Vedic ritual directly to devotees worldwide through authentic performances with live telecast, allowing you to participate in the parayanam (chanting) from anywhere in the world.
What is Lalitha Sahasranama?
The Lalitha Sahasranama is a sacred hymn found in the Brahmanda Purana, specifically within the Lalithopakhyana section. It was revealed by Goddess Lalita Herself to Lord Hayagriva and later transmitted to the world. Each of the 1000 names (sahasranama) describes a unique aspect, power, and quality of the Divine Mother – from Sri Mata (the auspicious mother) to Paratpara (the supreme beyond all).
In the Sri Vidya tradition, the Lalitha Sahasranama is considered a mantra-shastra – a scriptural text with immense vibrational power. Regular recitation is believed to awaken the Kundalini Shakti and align the devotee with the cosmic energy of the Goddess.
The Origin and Legend Behind Lalitha Sahasranama
The Lalitha Sahasranama traces its roots to the Brahmanda Purana, one of the 18 major Puranas. It forms part of the Lalitopakhyana section, where the story unfolds as a divine dialogue.
After Goddess Lalita (Tripura Sundari) defeated the demon Bhandasura in a cosmic battle, the eight Vagdevatas composed the 1000 names at her command. These names were later revealed to Sage Agastya by Lord Hayagriva in the sacred city of Kanchipuram.
This origin story underscores why the Lalitha Sahasranama is considered one of the most potent stotras in Shaktism – it carries the direct energy of the Goddess herself.

Who is Goddess Lalita Tripura Sundari?
Goddess Lalita, also called Tripura Sundari or Rajarajeshwari, is the embodiment of supreme beauty, playfulness, and cosmic power. She is the consort of Lord Shiva in his form as Kameshwara and represents the three worlds (Tripura).
In the Lalitha Sahasranama, she is praised as the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe. Chanting her names awakens the Kundalini energy and balances the chakras.
