Over time though with regular chanting of the LS, I have been able to forge a personal bond of love and friendship with my Devi and has completely transformed my life in almost every possible way. In the beginning, it was just a prayer which I thought would help me me with my life goals and bring me success and happiness. It is done for her love alone.ĭear Mahamaya, the greatest transformation that chanting the sacred Lalitha Sahasranama has brought about in me I would say is that when I read your question now, for me its more like someone asking me " Can you please describe some of the words of love and endearment you share with your beloved? ".In other words, its now become a very personal question for me. The numbers above make it sound mechanical, but the remembrance of her with every breath is what we hope to reach, with her grace. So the lesson I learnt was to keep chanting. Having said that when I was doing 5 times a day, I found maybe some days in the beginning one is not that focused, but in middle, I may get good focus and quality. I believe (learnt from Swami ji), that quality is more important than quantity, so I want to focus on that more. Reading books/ sites with name meaning and Glorious Alchemy also helped with that.Īlso remembering it full helps in chanting, and my way for that was to repeat it enough times that one will remember it. Knowing the meaning of every word is key in doing it with quality, so I have done that to some extent. I was chanting five times a day.Īfter that, I have chanted once daily, and then since the starting of 2021 do the shorter version, the initial 25 verses. After that, I asked Swami Ji when I met him, and he suggested doing a 1000 times, and this I did as a Sankalpa in 2020. That time I did the 108 times, in 30 days I believe. Each devotee could do 108 times, 1008 times in a fixed number of days. In the beginning, I remember I was part of a telegram group, which had taken a Sankalpa at Kanchi for several lakh chanting as a group. There may have been a few breaks in between. I have been chanting Lalitha Sahasranama since Oct/Nov 2019, I think. With my mother's inspiration, I may be doing other practices which have a more direct bearing, like mindfulness, and introspection. But one does become more unconditioned to seeing the divine in everything, and surrender also becomes easier.

due to chanting I had this self-transformation, is hard for me.
