🌹Significance of Lalitha Jayanti 🌹

Every year, Lalitha Jayanti fast is observed on Purnima in the month of Magha. Devoted worshiper of Goddess Lalita takes steps towards peace, prosperity and salvation. Apart from these, this fast helps in achieving all kinds of siddhis. Many great festivals are held on this day in some places. In temples, devotees wait in queues to seek the blessings of Sri Lalita Devi. Along with Lalita Devi, the tradition of honoring Skandamata and Shankara is also followed on this day. Lalita Mata is known as Rajeshwari, Shodashi and Tripura Sundari. As Lalita Devi is an incarnation of Parvati, she is also known as Tantric Parvati.

Srilalitha Tripurasundari is the second form of Tripuratrayam, the forms of Adishakti. She is the presiding deity of Srichakra, panchadasakshari is the presiding deity. Legend has it that Sri Lalita Devi appeared on the full moon of Magha to kill Bhandasura.

'Maghamu' means Yajna. Elders consider the month of Magha as the best month for performing Yajna, sacrifices and sacred divine works. The most special day in such Magha month is Magha Poornami. This is also known as 'Maha Maghi'. According to science, bathing in the sea, river and worshiping on this day will give immense results. Another special feature of Magha Poornami is that Lalita Jayanti is also the same day. The origin story of Devi Lalita is mentioned in Devi Purana. A demon called Bhandasura did penance for Lord Shiva. Appreciated by his devotion, Lord Shiva appeared. Bhandasura asked for a boon that if someone fights with him... half of that opponent's strength will come to him and he will not be harmed by the weapons of the enemy. Lord Shiva granted that boon. Bursting with pride, Bhandasura along with his brothers started tormenting the three worlds. Unable to bear the pains he inflicts... Indra's devas worshiped Srimata as instructed by Narada. A great sacrifice was made. Ammavaru emerged as Sri Lalita Devi from that Homa Gundam, mounted the Sri Chakra and killed Bhandasura.

The Naams chanted by the Devas and Munus to appease her Raudra form became popularly known as 'Sri Lalita Sahasranamam'. Kameshwar was transformed into Lalita Devi. Puranas state that they are the ones who manage all creation.

Goddess Lalita is worshiped as the source of all powers. That's why... in whatever form Goddess is worshiped, 'Lalita Sahasranama' is recited. Shining in the color of Aruna, she appears carrying pasha, ankusha, flower arrows and bow in her four hands. Sri Lalita Devi is regarded as the mother who dispels fear and bestows peace. It is the belief of the devotees that if one worships her who withdraws her raudra form with the prayers of the deities and recites Lalitasahasranama... she will spread her compassionate attention on the devotees, will bestow mastery in arts, family comfort, peace and wealth. In particular, on the Magha Purnami day of Sri Lalita Devi's birthday, taking holy baths and worshiping the Goddess by reciting Lalita Sahasranama will bring abhishta siddhi, and recitation of 'Sri Lalitha Pancha Ratna Stotra' which begins with 'Pratahsmarami Lalita Vadanaravindam...' is also a special fruit.

Goddess Lalita is worshiped as the source of all powers. That's why... in whatever form Goddess is worshiped, 'Lalita Sahasranama' is recited.

Magha full moon is the most special day in Magha month. This is also known as 'Maha Maghi'. According to science, bathing in the sea, river and worshiping on this day will give immense results. Another special feature of Magha Poornami is that Lalita Jayanti is also the same day.

The real name is Treepura Sundaree Devee (त्रीणर सुनढरी ढेवी IAST : Trīpura Sundarī Devī).

The variant name is Lalitaa (ललिता IAST : Lalita).

The word Treepura means 'three cities' or 'three worlds'. In this case is three worlds because she is one of the supreme Deities (Mother Godesses), the said worlds are above (heaven), human earth and below (Pataal - where demons live). While the word Sundaree means 'beautiful woman'. So her name can be translated as 'the beautiful woman who is the destroyer of three worlds'.

She is the another avatar of Goddess Paravatee. In this avatar she is the goddess of universal beauty. Some texts states she is also the goddess of pleasure.

She is one of ten Sree Mahaavidyaa Goddesses, the Deities who govern and help the devotees to discover the wisdom - the truth of ones' lives, which are various.

And the word 'Mahaavidyaa' (महीविढ्या IAST : Mah��vidyā) means 'great wisdom'.

Sri Radha said "I am Lalita Devi Herself, and in the world am known as Radha. As Kamakala, I manifest as Vasudeva. My true form is female and in my eternal self I am female. Yet as Lalita, I become male in the form of Krishna. In reality, there is no difference between myself and Krishna."

She is seen with four hands holding an akshamālā, pustaka, abhaya and varadam. Her Vāhana is a swan (Hamsa) and is the representation of complete knowledge and wisdom.She is Gurumaṇḍaḷa rūpiṇī. Bala = Guru"....... Context? She is the one who resides in the Guru sthana in one's body. She is the intuitive power behind every Siddha. It is because of her that the line of siddhas starting from Shree Agastya himself had direct connections with the divine. But in today's world, she is underestimated. People yearn to go to the next stage without properly propitiating her. Shree Dakshinaamoorti's gurumaataa was Shree Bala Tripurasundari who later gave herself to Shree Dakshinaamoorti, in the form of Shree Tripurabhairavi, as his consort after eons of worshipping her. Hence she is the very embodiment of Guru Tattva. She is gurumandala all in all. Let us remember her through a verse : हे देवी गुरुरूपिणी शुभकरी कन्यास्वरूपे परे हे बाले ललिते बदरीशवन्दितपदे हे भैरवी मोक्षदे । हे सौम्ये वरदाभये शिवनुते रक्ताम्बरालंकृते श्रीविद्ये करपुस्तके सुखकरी माम् पातु पूर्णे सदा || Verses written by @kayceevee_19 #srividya #devi #ammavaru #manidweepam #shaktism #parabramha #shakta #srikulim #srimata #shodashi #mataji #sripuram #art #balatripurasundari #bala #bhuvaneshwari #srichakra #artistoninstagram #bahucharaji #bhuvaneshvari #lalita #kanchipuram #balambika #instaart #shreevidya #srividyaseries #vishvrajsinhtheartist #digitalart #indianculture #shreevidyaseries https://www.instagram.com/p/CpCHTpBuHxx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The meaning of "Śrī Māta" is that she resides in the form of letters (varṇākṣaras). "Mātr̥kā" refers to the letters, which are imperishable (not subject to destruction). These letters are sounds, and Śrī Māta gives form to these sounds. For instance, the sounds "A", "I", and "U" have corresponding written forms, enabling us to write them. Letters (varṇas) and their forms are distinct. Śrī Māta bestows sound, color, and shape upon the letters. Not only that, but she also assigns meaning to them. For example, the sound "A" carries the meaning of transcendence (paratattva). (In the alphabet, "A" symbolizes "I" as proclaimed by Śrī Krishna.) The color associated with "A" is perceived as blue.

Who is Lalita Mata, how did she originate?

It is told in Brahmanda Purana that taking the name of Lord Shiva once gives the same result as taking the name of Maha Vishnu a thousand times. Similarly, taking the name of Mother Lalita once gives results equal to taking 1000 names of Lord Shiva. Let us know what we will know in today's article:-

1. Who is Lalita Mata?

2. How did Lalita Mata originate?

3. Mantra of Lalita Mata and 10 Mahavidyas

4. Benefits and advantages of reciting Lalita Chalisa

1. Who is Lalita Mata?

Lalita is the form of Mother Goddess Sati-Parvati. Lalita Mata is also known as Tripura Sundari, Shodashi and Lalita Tripurasundari. Mata Tripura Sundari is one of the 10 Mahavidyas.

There are three forms of Mother Lalita. Tripura Sundari in the form of an 8 year old girl, Shodashi at the age of 16 and the young form of mother Lalita is known as Tripura Sundari. Mother Lalita Tripura Sundari is expert in 16 arts, that is why she is also called Shodashi. Lalita Mata's birth anniversary is celebrated every year on the full moon date of Magh month. During Navratri, Lalita Panchami fast is observed along with Skandamata on the fifth day of Navratri. It is also called Upang Lalita Vrat. According to the Puranas, Lalita Mata has two arms. This mother is of fair complexion and is seated on a bloody lotus. According to the Dakshinamargi scriptures, Goddess Lalita has the place of 'Chandi'. Their method of worship is similar to that of Goddess Chandi. The meditative form of Goddess Lalita is very bright and luminous. Lalita Mata can be worshiped anytime but worshiping her on Lalita Jayanti or Lalita Panchami has special significance. On the day of Lalita Jayanti, there is a crowd of devotees of Mother Goddess in the temples. Skandamata and Lord Shiva are also worshiped on this day.

By worshiping Goddess Lalita, devotees attain happiness, prosperity and salvation. People become free from the bondage of life and death.

Lalita Mata's name comes third among the 10 Mahavidyas. The fast of Lalita Panchami is considered very auspicious and auspicious. It is believed that the person who worships Lalita Devi with true heart and full devotion gets the special blessings of Lalita Mata. Regarding this fast, Lord Shri Krishna has said that this fast is going to give happiness and wealth. Those who are childless get the happiness of having children. This fast is observed to pray for the happiness and long life of the child. Next we will know the mantra of Lalita Mata and which are the 10 Mahavidyas. But before that let us know the origin story of Lalita Mata.

2. How did Lalita Mata originate?

In the Puranas we find two stories about the origin of Lalita Mata. According to the story of Devi Purana, the story of origin of Lalita Mata is related to the sacrifice (death) of Mother Sati. Who is Goddess Sati? Let us know how the story of mother Lalita's origin is connected with her death.

Sati Ji, the incarnation of Mother Adishakti, is the daughter of Maharaj Daksh. When Sati saw Lord Shiva, she became fascinated by him and decided to marry him. Despite Maharaj Daksh not wanting, he married Sati to Lord Shiva.

Although Maharaj Daksh married Sati to Lord Shiva but he was not satisfied with that marriage. Mother Sati married as per her wish. Daksh did not like anything about Shivaji's behavior or attire.

Brahma Ji gave Maharaj Daksh the post of guardian of the people i.e. Prajapati. After getting the post of Prajapati, Maharaj Daksh became more arrogant. Often the attainment of great authority leads to arrogance in the mind. Who is like this in the world? One who is not intoxicated by attaining dominance. Once Brahma ji organized a religious assembly to formulate the religion. Great sages and gods were present in this religious gathering. Lord Shiva was also present in that meeting.

When Daksh Prajapati arrived there, all the sages, sages and gods stood up to welcome him. Only Brahma ji and Lord Shankar remained sitting at their places. Brahma ji is the mental father of Daksh Prajapati. Daksh bowed to Lord Brahma. Daksh Prajapati did not like Shankar ji sitting because Brahma ji was his father, hence he felt it was right for him not to stand, but Shiv ji was his son-in-law, so his not standing and not greeting him felt like an insult to Daksh. Prajapati Daksh was especially pained by the fact that his son-in-law Shankar ji did not salute him. Distressed by this, Maharaja Daksh strongly condemned Shankar ji. Shankar ji was called uncivilized and corrupt. They even cursed him that he would not get any part in any yagya. Even after this, Maharaj Daksh's anger did not subside.

Prajapati Daksh organized a huge yagya with the aim of humiliating Lord Shankar. All the sages, sages, gods and goddesses were invited to that yagya but Shankar ji and Mata Sati were not invited for the yagya. Seeing all the sages, sages and gods leaving in their respective planes, Goddess Sati asks Shankar ji where all these people are going. Then Lord Bholenath Shankar ji tells Devi Sati that your father Maharaj Daksh has organized a huge yagya. All these people are going to participate in that yagya. Goddess Sati said – Lord, I have not gone to my maternal home for a long time, a Yagya is being performed there, so my sisters will also definitely come. If you have permission, then both of us should also go there, even though they have not invited us, but it has been said that permission is not required to go to parents and teachers. Lord Shankar ji said that you are absolutely right that one does not need permission to go to parents and teachers. One can visit parents' and teachers' places even without inviting them. But here the matter is different. If someone believes in opposition then there is no benefit in going there. Maharaj Daksh does not like our coming there, he has deliberately not invited us, hence it would not be entirely appropriate to go there. Therefore, O Goddess, it would be appropriate to give up the idea of ​​going there.

Even after the persuasion of Lord Shiva, Mother Sati started insisting on going to the Yagya. When Mother Sati did not agree, Lord Shankar ji sent her along with his followers Veerbhadra and Nandi. When Sati reached her peak, everyone started ignoring her. Maharaja Daksh did not show him any respect. When the sisters saw her, they started smiling sarcastically and said among themselves that look, Sati has come without invitation. There he met only his mother with love. When Goddess Sati came to the Yagyashala, she saw that all the gods had come there but no one had come there for Lord Shiva. Sati asks her father Maharaj Daksh why such contempt for Lord Shiva? Maharaj Daksh says very good and bad things about Shiva, he says that he does not consider Shiva as a god. He is the master of ghosts and devils. Gonna be naked. The one who applies crematorium ashes to his body and wears a garland of bones is not worthy of sitting in the ranks of the gods. Who will give him away? Hearing the words of Maharaj Daksh, Sati's eyes turned red in anger and she started saying that even if the name of Lord Shiva comes up in the context of conversation unexpectedly, all the sins of the person taking his name are destroyed. Who has the power to destroy the entire creation in a moment. They are my master. You hate Shiva like this. Your end is near, Maharaj.

For a woman, her husband is heaven. A woman who hears derogatory words about her husband has to go to hell. You have hatred towards Lord Shiva. Therefore, I will immediately abandon this body of mine, born from your intercourse, because this body is like a skeleton for me. Saying this, Sati meditated on Lord Shiva and burnt her body in the fire of Yagya Kund. Mother Sati's divine love for her husband is a great role model for women even today. Angered by her father's insult to her husband, Sati jumped into the Yagya Kund and sacrificed her life. It is from here that the story of Sati becoming Shakti begins. Seeing Mata Sati immolating herself in the Yagya Kund, Veerbhadra got angry and cut off Daksh's head and threw it away. When Lord Shiva came to know about this, he became distraught in love for Mother Sati and lost his senses. After this, Lord Shiva became sad and started the Tandava dance by carrying the body of Mother Sati on his head. He started roaming around the world carrying the dead body of Mata Sati on his shoulder. Due to this condition of Lord Shiva, the order of the entire world started deteriorating.

Seeing such a dire situation, Lord Vishnu was forced to cut the body of Mother Sati into pieces with his Sudarshan Chakra. After this, wherever the body parts of Mata Sati fell, Shakti from her body parts began to reside at those places in various forms and Shakti Peethas were formed there. In this way, wherever Sati's body parts and jewelery fell, Shaktipeeths came into existence.

There is mention of 108 Shaktipeeths in Devi Bhagwat, while 72 Shaktipeeths are mentioned in Devi Geeta. Whereas 51 Shaktipeeths have been discussed in Devi Purana. It is said that Mother Sati's heart had fallen in Naimishrai. Goddess Sati left her body with Lord Shankar in her heart. By keeping Lord Shankar in the heart, she is called by the name of Lalita. Therefore Naimish is considered to be a Linga Dharini Shakti Peetha place, here Lord Shiva is worshiped in the form of Linga and there is a temple of Mother Lalita Devi here.

(via I Swear By All The Cows - Kartik Parikrama 2024 - YouTube)

### I Swear By All The Cows - Kartik Parikrama 2024 **By Indradhyumna Swami** --- **Introduction** Dear devotees, by the grace of Sri Krishna and His divine associates, we are once again blessed to explore another of Braj's deeply sacred sites. The Kartik Parikrama of 2024 offers us an opportunity to experience the transcendental atmosphere of Vrindavan, the eternal home of Lord Krishna and His beloved devotees. Our pilgrimage this year takes us to Sudevi’s village, one of the eight villages surrounding Vrindavan, each home to one of Srimati Radharani’s most intimate friends, known as the *ashta-sakhis* or the "eight principal girlfriends." **The Ashta-Sakhis and Their Villages** Srimati Radharani, Lord Krishna’s eternal consort, is supported in her divine pastimes by eight close friends, the *ashta-sakhis*. Each of these sakhis has her own village around Vrindavan, and today, we have the privilege to visit one of these villages. Understanding the significance of these holy places strengthens our devotion and enhances our experience as pilgrims. Let's name these villages: 1. **Lalita Devi** – Lalita’s village is Uchagaon. 2. **Vishakha Devi** – Her village is Kamai. 3. **Chitra Devi** – Anjanuka. 4. **Champakalata Devi** – Karhala. 5. **Tungavidya Devi** – Dabauli. 6. **Indulekha Devi** – Vilpura. 7. **Rangadevi** – Rithora. 8. **Sudevi** – Our current stop, Suera, situated on a beautiful hill known as Surya Parvat, which means “Hill of Gold.” Each village has its own distinct charm and spiritual significance, and each sakhi plays a unique role in assisting Radharani and Krishna in their divine pastimes. **Sudevi and Rangadevi: The Twin Sisters** Sudevi has a twin sister, Rangadevi, and the two are almost identical, both in their appearance and in their devotion to Radharani. Just as we sometimes confuse twins in this world, even Radharani and Krishna can momentarily mistake one sister for the other. Sudevi and Rangadevi are considered eternally youthful, precisely 14 years, two months, and eight days old, with Sudevi being seven days younger than Srimati Radharani. Sudevi’s unique characteristics are lovingly detailed by Rupa Goswami, who provides intimate descriptions of the sakhis and their qualities. These descriptions are far more important than worldly concerns—they connect us to the eternal love that the sakhis embody for Krishna. **Duties and Talents of Sudevi** Rupa Goswami also explains that Sudevi oversees a multitude of responsibilities in the service of Radharani and Krishna. She organizes boat races on the Yamuna, arranges for performances by jungle animals, and skillfully reads auspicious and inauspicious omens to protect the divine couple. Sudevi, along with her maids, looks after Krishna’s animals, including the lions and deer who wander through Vrindavan’s forests. Each sakhi has maids of her own, much like Radharani’s eight personal assistants. These maids help in organizing the many elaborate arrangements and festivals that keep Radharani and Krishna’s pastimes alive in Vrindavan. **The Art of Competition in Vrindavan** The spirit of Vrindavan is unique, with competition as a central element that enhances everyone’s devotion. Even Radharani and Krishna engage in playful competitions, such as their famous dice games, where Radharani often triumphs. Though Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He revels in being bested by Radharani, for this play deepens the love they share. The competitive spirit isn’t restricted to games—it extends to the sakhis themselves, especially Radharani and her rival Chandravali. However, this rivalry is infused with transcendental love. Chandravali, despite appearing as Radharani’s “arch-rival,” is in truth an expansion of Radharani, meant to add excitement to Krishna’s pastimes. As Rupa Goswami explains, all who reside in Vrindavan are bound together in selfless love for Krishna. **Lessons in Devotion from Our Teachers** Our acharyas, like Srila Prabhupada and Srila Rupa Goswami, have emphasized the importance of cultivating deep attachment to Radharani and Krishna. Rupa Goswami’s dedication to Radharani is legendary, expressed in his heartfelt prayers, where he declares, “I am yours, I am yours, I cannot live without you.” This level of devotion can inspire us to give ourselves entirely to the service of Radha and Krishna. Even in their own lives, our teachers showed great aversion to anything unfavorable to their worship. Srila Raghunatha dasa Goswami, for example, would refuse anything, even a gift, from Chandravali’s side, as his devotion was solely to Radharani. **The Unity in Love for Krishna** The acharyas explain that while there is rivalry and competition among the residents of Vrindavan, they all unite when Krishna is absent. When He disappears, as He did during the rasa dance or when He left Vrindavan for Mathura, all groups—rivals included—come together in a shared longing for Krishna’s return. Their love for Krishna binds them in unity, even beyond individual attachments. In one pastime, Radharani, mistaking her reflection in a pond for Chandravali, reached out, saying, “Oh, Chandravali! You too are searching for Krishna!” This interaction is a poignant reminder that in the realm of divine love, all hearts beat for Krishna. **Conclusion** As we complete another segment of our Kartik Parikrama, we deepen our appreciation for the transcendental life of Vrindavan. The sakhis, their villages, their unique talents, and the eternal competitions between them reveal a world where every act is meant to bring joy to Krishna and increase the sweetness of His pastimes. This is the essence of Vrindavan. May we all continue to serve Radharani and Krishna with the same devotion and joy that the sakhis embody, and may we eternally be inspired by the teachings of our beloved acharyas.
