"Sri Lalita Sahasranama is an unequalled composition in which the profound import of mantras, poetic beauty, and musical quality combine in a captivating manner. With this hymn, one worships Lalita Mahatripurasundari who is the Supreme Goddess, the union of Siva and Sakti, through a thousand names arranged in a metrical framework. Each name is a mantra. The entire hymn can be considered also a mantra. The names shed light on Devi's form, attributes. abode, the stories of Her incarnations and on Her gross, subtle, and supreme nature" -- cover p. 4.

There are lot many books on Lalita Sahasranama in English. This is not just one more. The best feature of this book is that every name is compared with the corresponding meanings/ analogies in 20+ Upanishads, various mantras, Brahma Sootram, Devee Bhagavatam, Maha Shodanyasam, Nitya Shodashikarnavam, different Sootras, Shiva and other Puranas, Soundaryalaharee, Sree Lalita Trisatee, Sree Lalitopakyanam, Sree Varivasya Rahasyam, Sreemad Bhagavad Geeta, Sree Vidyasaparyapaddhati, Sruti, Smrutis, Vishnu Sahasranama and what not? For instance 712th name E has explanations/ references running for 5 pages and the irony is that the smallest name and has got the longest explanation. The forty verses called Paribhasha stotras is a self-contained research paper on Lalita Sahasranama. It is perfect allegory. At the outset the surface meaning of these verses is as praising and bowing Sree Devee. But the deep inner meaning is that, it explains the structure of all the thousand names - the starting letter of every name, etc. It is a delight to read these verses. This book does not intend scholarly readers, but expects a very common audience. Hence while transliterating the Samskrit words in English, the international convention of diacritical markings have not been followed in its entirety, but still followed in an easy way of reading. The names are written in Devanagari also to make the reading easy for those who can read Samskrit. Om Tat Sat

The Lalitha Sahasranamam is one of the important and famous hymn in the Hindu way of life. It is a hymn in praise of Lalitha Tripurasundari also called as Lalithambika. The Lalitha Sahasranamam occurs in the Brahmanda Purana. It is a hymn that describes the 1000 various names of Sri Lalitha Tripurasundari as the Divine Mother. While doing so, the hymn provides a beautiful mix of poetry, romance, religion and philosophy. It is presented during the course of instructions imparted to Sage Agasthya by Lord Hayagriva who is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Broadly, the Sahasranamam describes the beauty of the Goddess, her kingdom known as Sri Puram or Sri Nagara, the great lotus forest known as Mahapadma vana at the centre of this city of Sri Nagara and her ultimate battle against Bandasura and his annihilation. I have divided the subject into sixteen chapters and tried to briefly explain it to the extent of my understanding.
