Shri Lalita Trishati, like Lalita Sahasranama is discussed in Lalitopakhyana of Brahmandapurana, which is in the form of conversation between Shri Hayagriva (an incarnation of Vishnu and is considered as the presiding God for knowledge) and sage Agastya, who is a great worshiper of Parashakti through his own Panchadashi mantra which is different from the regular Panchadashi mantra (composed by Manmatha, who is also known as Cupid). Trishata means three hundred. Shri Lalita Trishati consists of three hundred namas, carved out of fifty nine couplet verses. Shri Lalita Devi has four forms viz. gross form, Kamakala form, Kundalini form, and mantra form. All these forms are explained in Lalita Sahasranama such as kamakala rupa (322), kundalini (110), mantra-sara (846), mahamantra (227). She is worshiped in various gross forms such as Kali, Tara, Gayatri (420), Mahalakshmi (210), etc. Kamakala is Her subtler form, where She remains intimately with Shiva. Her kundalini form is the subtlest of all and if She is made to ascend, She rushes to the top of the head, sahasrara, where She spends intimate moments with Her Lord Shiva. Worshiping Her mantra form is known as Shri Vidya. She represents all letters and words in the form of Shabdabrahman (Lalita Sahasranama 204 sarvamantra-svarupini). Each of Her gross form, such as Kali, Tara, etc as mentioned in Dashamahavidya, is worshipped with different mantras and these worships are known as Tantras. All the three hundred namas have been explained in detail by drawing references from Lalita Sahasranama , Upanishads, Saundaryalahari, Bhagavad Gita, etc. The namas are printed both in English and Sanskrit. Standard IAST format is used throughout this book.

300 divine names of the celestial mother - with meanings and commentaries Shree Lalita Sahasranama and Shree Lalita Trishatee are considered to be very secret. In fact any Shreevidya worship should be kept secret and more so in these two hymns. Even a devotee like of Sage Agastya had to struggle to get initiated in these two hymns by Lord Hayagreeva. There are not many books available on Lalita Trishatee. Even the available books just give the hymns or 300 names. Very few books give one line meaning of the names. But this book completely gives Shree Adi Sankara's Bhashyam (commentary in Samskrit) on Lalita Trishatee into English. In the introduction part it gives some vital and rare information about Lalita Trishatee. Wherever possible, comparisons with Shree Lalita Sahasranama and other texts like Shreemad Bhagavad Geeta, etc., are also provided. Shree Bhaskararaya, who wrote commentary for Shree Lalita Sahasranama has clearly indicated "One who chants any mantras without understanding the meaning is like a donkey carrying a load of sandal-wood, not being able to feel its aroma but only its weight." Hence this books aims at clarifying the meanings in simple English. Hope the readers get benefited. Let Sreedevee shower her choicest blessings on the readers.

“Sri Vidya begins where the current understanding of quantum physics ends,” say modern-day scholars about this little-known, highly esoteric spiritual tradition that has been kept under wraps by its practitioners. Sri Vidya practice is a three-fold one, encompassing mantra (sacred sound), yantra (sacred geometry) and tantra (a technique or framework for worship). Learning about the mantras used in the Sri Vidya tradition is fascinating as much as it is frustrating because information about its various aspects is exceptionally hard to find. This book endeavours to explore the main mantras used in the Sri Vidya tradition and understand them as the unfolding of Shakti, the inherent power which lies at the core of our being and holds the key to our worldly and spiritual success. Our minds and beliefs can be our strongest allies or our worst enemies. The book delves into concepts such as the importance of building the right narrative about life and the need for ritual in modern-day lifestyle. Samskara, vritti and vasana are described along with a detailed study of tantra and Sri Vidya before a discussion on mantras in general and then focusing on the mantras used in the Sri Vidya tradition. The subjects covered seek to establish the context of mantra sadhana in Sri Vidya is to be approached, combining elements of knowledge, devotion and ritual. We live in a time of deep insecurity, stuck in the midst of a feeling of scarcity, stress and self-limiting beliefs. This book offers everyone an opportunity to learn and experience the benefits of mantra sadhana of Sri Vidya and enjoy a life of abundance in all aspects of life – good health, meaningful relationships, success at work, peace and bliss in the spiritual path. The author has kept in mind the sensibilities of the modern spiritual seeker and their needs and interests, presenting the information in a non-dogmatic and practical manner. This is the fourth book by the author in the Spirituality series. The first book was about the Sri Chakra Yantra, the second was about Chakras and the third was Tantra, Mantra and Yantra of Sri Vidya.
