Guest guest Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Dear devotees, As the current discussion is more focused on LS, I was reciting the same when this question came to my mind. If this is not within the scope of discussion please pardon me. The question is... What is the difference between "Mantram", "Stotram", "Stuti", "Dandakam" and "Slokam" ? Why do we say Lalitha Sahasranama stotram and not something different? My understanding of "Namavali" is ... reciting each name and ending with a Namah while offering flowers, akshata or some parimala dravyam like kumkum / turmeric. Usually a namavali (either ashtotram or sahasranamam) is recited while performing a regular upachara pooja with sankalpam. Please correct me if I am wrong. I request learned members of the group to help me understand these terms. Bala Sharanam. Lalitha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
