1. Forgive me if this question is too basic for this group.

 

Personally I believe we should always go back to the basic. The

problem is that we [or let say I ] have this tendency to indulge too

much with the complexities that we forgot about the basic.

 

 

2. "When we recite the Lalitha Sahasranama, are we praying to our

Divine mother?"

 

I like to bring back to our previous inconversation. This is an

excerpt

 

"A: Yes, that is what I am saying. When you understand the

Lalitopakhyana, and then stop at each name in Lalita Sahasranama and

reflect on the relevant part of Lalitopakhyana, it becomes a

meditation. You visualise the birth and acts of Lalita; She becomes

ALIVE. She manifests herself. She appears before you. The descriptive

names help you to visualise and relive her acts. It becomes a

powerful meditation. It makes you one with HER! And that's the whole

purpose of upasana. Understanding and doing it is an upasana by

itself. Hence it is called the greatest sahasranama"
